Watch Simon Cowell’s Appearance On The 1990 British TV Game Show ‘Sale Of The Century’

Recently, the website Best Life put together a list of celebrities who were game show contestants before they made it big. Back in 1990, before he was a household name because of American Idol and X Factor, Simon Cowell was just a record company executive living in London. He lived a pretty regular life, watching auto racing on TV and racing go-karts. And we know this now because of a clip posted to YouTube from 1990 of a young Simon Cowell appearing on a British quiz show called “Sale of the Century.

It’s strange to see Cowell in such a soft-spoken and subdued manner, since we’re so used to him being the tell-it-like-it-is kind of guy on the singing competition shows he’s on nowadays!

Check out the clip below!
