Running the gamete?

Spotted today (July 6, 2011) on Fandango’s website:

In addition to the transposition of two of the letters in “Canadian,” the clip includes this blooper: “run the gamete.” I don’t believe the writer intended a reference to genetics, in which a gamete is a cell that fuses with another cell during fertilization (from the Ancient Greek word for husband, gametes, or wife, gamete): a sperm or egg cell. What was meant is “run the gamut,” an expression meaning to extend across a full range. Originally, the term was a musical reference to the notes of a scale. The lowest note in the G scale, ut, was represented by the Greek symbol gamma. That made the note gamma ut. Over time, it became gamut, and running the full range of the scale became running the gamut.
