Same here, same here. As soon as I got online and found out that was not the case, I felt silly for not noticing the designs on the door(s).

Well, this is hardly a false *memory*, but until I saw a taping in person I thought the host’s entrance was through Door 1. (I also didn’t realize until then that the home base/turntable unit was on a pivot and moved slightly stage right for the Showcase.)

That's news to me.

Yep! Just verified this with NY Daily News. Up until "Joan Rivers" moved from WCBS to WNBC and took the 3pm slot in September 1990.

Okay then. I shall stand corrected and buy you a drink or a burger next time I see you. :)

Same.
Speaking of TPiR's set and home base, until I was maybe a teen, I never processed that the Showcase round was done at home base, nor realized how many games or the Showcase Showdown happened at center stage. I remember a showcase from about 1994, where the models did a marching band routine in front of the lecterns, and I finally put 2+2 together.
I dunno how I also didn't process the multiple doors until my teenage years.
