Think of a famous TV personality with five letters in the first name and four letters in the last name. Change the first letter of this celebrity's first name to M. Drop the first letter of the last name. Read the result in order, and it will spell something this person is famously known for doing many times. Who is this person?There's an easy grammatical approach to the solution. I know it's easy because both Ross and I saw it immediately. Ross also successfully guessed what the celebrity's activity is. From there, it's a breeze.
Since that was so easy, let's look at some value-added puzzles. The on-air challenge was to identify the 7-letter plural that each of three disparate things have in common. Here are some more to chew on (warning -- some of these are uh, challenging):
Sleighs/hallways/track & field teams
Banks/bureaus/old-fashioned ladies
Cameras/lightning/geniuses
Smoke detectors/physicians/electronic timers
Baseball stadiums/courtrooms/fitness gyms
Long haul trucking/golfers/computers
Skis/mayonnaise/notebooks
Fancy stationery/North Korea/floral gardens
Wimbledon/campers/online dating
Wineries/newspapers/fitness gyms
Old cars/babies/snakes
TV/songs/wallpaper
Windows/computers/Japanese houses
High school reunions/Food & Drug Administration/website advertising
Bird watchers/rivers/cafeterias

I give up!
The only TV personalities with a "5-4" name that I can think of ALREADY HAVE an M in their first name, like Monty Hall.
Could somebody please give a clue, like they did two weeks ago for Galileo?
By the way, I NEVER submit my answer to try to get "on the air". Therefore, my getting a clue won't amount to cheating.
UPDATE!
I just now solved it, using the information that is near the top of this page.
