As much as I'd like to take the credit, I think "Door #1" might have come from Chad Walker when he was covering recruiting long ago on the old Bootleg.

My apologies to all.
I quite distinctly remember reading an explanation involving a story about Bob Barker and the Price is Right - where you're watching and deep down you know you just don't want to know what he is offering from behind door #1.

I guess it's just the kind of colourful and amusing story I expect from you, Terry.

If Bob Barker ever used the phrase he stole it from the great and still not late (age 95) Monty Hall.  Another great meme from the show was how Monty used to tease his contestants with hints and bits of cash causing many of them to plead "Oh Monty, Monty, Monty!?".  You had to have been there......Barring that, a fillip to those who are interested in Game Theory:
