Jeopardy! Profile

(1/3) > >>

calliaume:
A familiar show will be profiled.

That's 7 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Central, football coverage notwithstanding.

mmb5:
For those on the West Coast, 60 Minutes can be seen at it's regular time.

GSWitch:
The last time 60 Minutes profiled game shows was back in 1975.  

They showed the Treasure Hunt incident when Mrs. Ivy Floatsm thought she was klunked, but ended up with a 1960 Rolls Royce!  That caused her to faint on the floor!  Then she had to sell the car to pay her taxes.  I read about that in a Chuck Barris book.

 60 Minutes profiled WOF in Fall 1986, as did CBS Sunday Morning around the same time. Can't recall a game show based story on 60 Minutes since then.

 Did something interesting happen on WoF at the time, or was it just done "for the sake of it"?
