Wasn\'t it some time in 1988 when NBC dumped the fee plugs for their shows and went right from host\'s goodbye to the crawl?



 

Those were sent mid-show.



You sure? As I recall, the only plugs by 1988 were for better-quality prizes than, say, Lee Press-On Nails or Bedsack. Prizes that a member of the studio audience may receive.

 




If this episode is representive of what they did until the series\' end, Doug is right.

A taping report from last week indicated this may have been upped to $400.




 


I was at one of the tapings Monday this week.  It is still $300.

It was a golden age of daytime network television... Game Shows... Hosted by people who actually knew that the game was the star... And I wish it was still that way - both that game shows were on all morning and that they were hosted by actual game show hosts. - Bob Purse, Inches Per Second
