Yep, every time each game starts with "The Chair" reclining, John McEnroe would say it out.

On this short-lived American game show The Chair, this is a series premiere episode, which aired in January 2002 on ABC (United States). 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

No, it's January 2002.

You're right and I corrected myself. 👍

@@user-xo6rm7oz3k 1/15 was the day the first episode of any version of the format aired. Development of the program began in New Zealand in mid-2001, but the program would not be seen in New Zealand for a few more months. The American version was the first to premiere even though it was developed outside of the country.

Well, Unfortunately, I don't have Alecia Jordan's video. I looked for it on Wayback Machine and I can't find it maybe because it was unavailable.😕
