Thom McKee
Thom McKee (born 1955) is a former United States Navy officer and 1977 graduate of the Naval Academy, who was a long-running contestant on ''Tic-Tac-Dough'', an American game show, in 1980. He set a number of game show records for the time, appearing on 46 episodes of the series and winning $312,700 in cash and prizes. This total made him the biggest winner in the history of television game shows at the time.
==Performance on ''Tic Tac Dough''==
As a contestant on ''Tic Tac Dough'', McKee won $312,700 (the equivalent of about $800,000 in today's dollars) in cash and prizes over 46 days on the show. He played a total of 89 games, defeating 43 opponents, answering 353 questions correctly. His total prizes included eight cars (as winners on ''Tic Tac Dough'' were awarded a new car every fifth win), three sailboats, 16 vacations (which he was unable to take), several other smaller prizes, and $200,000 in cash.〔 Prior to McKee's record, the most ever won on a television game show was ''The Joker's Wild'' contestant Eileen Jason, who won $305,280 ($250,000 of which was won during the 1979 Tournament of Champions).
McKee was defeated by Erik Kraepelien to end his winning streak. After his defeat, McKee appeared on ''To Tell the Truth'' in 1980. Only one of the four celebrity panelists was able to identify him alongside his two impostors. Three years after his original run on ''Tic Tac Dough'', McKee made one more appearance on the show, this time to compete in a Tournament of Champions. In the 1990s, he became president of Hicks & Rotner Associates Inc. (now H&R Retail), a brokerage firm. He is no longer with the firm.
