Wink Tic Tac Dough - Sun Apr. 20 on GSN
BillCullen1:
I saw the ep where Thom was finally defeated. The "Women in Film" category did him in. But what a winning streak, over $300K including eight cars. He had nothing to hang his head about.
A Wink Martindale story. In 1978 when I was in Lala Land, I attended a taping of TTD. It was taping at CBS Television City. My friends had opted to see TPIR that evening. But I had already seen that so I opted for TTD. IIRC Jay Stewart was the announcer and they did three shows. It was the syndie version. Because of the technology of that time, when there was a tied game, they would stop tape, reset the monitors and put new questions in Wink's podium. There were a couple of stopdowns but Wink and Jay kept us informed and entertained. A good experience.
Coming out of the studio after a long taping day, Wink signed autographs and talked to fans. He told us "You stayed for the whole taping? I should be asking for your autograph ." I then asked the CBS pages about the TPIR taping. They said they were still taping, and this was about 10:30 pm. My friends told me everything that could go wrong did. So apparently I made the right choice about what show to see.

I kind of suspected that, given that there was a jump cut between Wink introducing the nine new categories and the shot of them popping up on the board.
Were there multiple daytime/nighttime Price episodes taping that night? I'm surprised they went that late.

Do we hsve a list of what was audited? I think I grabbed just the first two shows.

My friends told me the TPIR crew had just gotten back from vacation that day, so there were kinks and bugs they had to work out. But Bob and Johnny O handled it like pros. They taped two hour-long shows that day, when all was said and done.
