Speaking of hoaxes...
JMFabiano:
Anyone have any background on what has been referred to on tape trading sites as the \"final Jack Barry TJW\" hoax? I know that this refers to the tape of a 1984 episode that has the Savers dubbed (badly) over the opening and closing...as a result of them, Jack gives his welcome \"twice\" (once in the audio of the dub, and second for real) and at the end the same voiceover plug is duplicated.
Anyway, how did this come to be known as a hoax? Did someone on ATGS/etc. actually claim that this was the last Barry ep? Or was it given the name by a fan who discovered it?

Sorry! I just saw the NYSI Hoax post here and just automatically posted in the GSN folder. I know this subject is kind of OT, so I apologize for its placement.

It's not THE last Jack Barry TJW, but it is indeed from the final season, and very sad to watch.
Jack appears very bored and out of it, almost nothing like he was during the CBS run or the 77-80 run.

I think Jack may have been best off taking a early retirement from hosting around 1981 and passed hosting duties over to Jim Peck. Peck really deserved to have a successful game show, which he unfortunately never got.

True, still, what I am wondering is how this episode got to be called the \"fake last Barry\"? Did someone claim it was, or something else?
