Comedy Central's comedy/gameshow, "Win Ben Stein's Money" had a unique gimmick where for every question the contestants got right, money was taken away from the host, Ben Stein. After the first round, the contestant with the least amount of money was eliminated and Ben Stein became a contestant. He would always say, "I shall now become a common contestant..." while placing one hand over his heart, much like the creature in this image.
