I'm actually more surprised by the level of anger this is generating out of you than I am by the show's apologies. Of course a game show can mention the name of the movie. But due to an unfortunate coincidence in the timing of the show airing so close after his death, they try to show a little respect for the dead, for the sake of his friends and family, if not his legion of fan. Why on earth would that upset you to the extent you seem to be showing here?

This is so damn stupid it's not funny. (Not your post Joe.)
A game show can't even mention the name of a movie just because some guy
died?
Will the words "fast" and "furious" now be removed from the OED,
scrubbed from all mankind, so we can honor the memory of Whatshisname
and not offend any of his legion of fan.
F'in tabloid mongering jackasses...
