I've always said that he deserves one more show before he hangs it up for good. I hope this one is a hit.

I remembered several years ago from a now-defunct 'Game Show Videos' website, Alan Kalter's in-between-commercials spiel (several years ago) from an episode of The Late Show with David Letterman:
"After the Late Show, stay tuned for an all-new Tic Tac Dough! Tonight, Wink gives away a grand prize of two-thousand dollars! TIC TAC DON'T MISS IT"

I wonder if that might not be closer than you might think- The Discovery Networks presentation at the TCA's is Thursday- we might hear some stuff on the new Hasbro/Discovery network coming this year...

The complaining about the tired joke is just as annoying as the tired joke itself. We get it, you don't like the gag. But until more info on the show is revealed, just skip the thread already.

Well, I didn't think it would take a month before I could pay-off the tease, but Wink e-mailed me the "go ahead" last night:
He's hosting "INSTANT RECALL" on GSN starting Thursday, March 4th. To oversimplify, it's "Punked" meets - oh, maybe -"Hit Man".
The show first tests players’ patience, then tests their memory as unsuspecting participants are caught on hidden camera in unbelievable situations—and are then quizzed on the experience for cash and prizes. Each episode features two games. In each, an unsuspecting “mark” finds himself in an outrageous situation, and is then tested on the details of the event that just occurred. The more correct answers, the more cash and prizes. The magic moment (for me) is when Wink makes a dramatic and funny entrance as the show turns from the candid camera ruse to the quiz.
If there's no official announcement in a few days, I'll post more.
Congrats to the Winker - a guy who has always been very kind to me. Good luck on series #20!!

Did Wink keep any of the hats that he'd show off each Friday? If so, he just needs to pester Don Cherry for a coat and it'll be like going back to 1984. Good times.
/how many stations can you GET on that thing.

As I recall, he was asked that very question at one of the Game Show Congressesses a few years back, and he admitted that no, he no longer had them.

Part of me wants to think he still has that flag from Monmouth County, NJ somewhere.
