Full-Contact Pictionary

The smack comes at 3:00

Comedian Bill Maher may have thought he was on American Gladiator rather than Pictionary in 1997 when an excitable Erik Estrada knocked him to the floor. The CHiPs actor was celebrating his successful deciphering of the phrase "tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree" when, in his exuberance, he hit Maher in the nose. The taped show cut away; when it returned, Maher had a compress against his face while Estrada sat sheepishly nearby. Maher's first guess at the next image: brain damage.
