Interesting read, with lots of cool Plinko-type photos throughout.
Once the rehearsal was finished and the audience began loading in, Richards admitted he was nervous about the show running over. “I am very concerned about the run time,” he told BuzzFeed. “Plinko is a longer game. And then, because we’re adding in prizes in addition to the small prices that they have to price, that extends the run time even longer. So even if we just played basic Plinko at its normal time, we would be long. In this way, we will be extraordinarily long.”
You know, some show runners would have a solution to this in stone before even pulling the trigger on the mere idea of the theme show.
Neat, thanks for sharing. I had never seen the top-down view of Plinko.
My TiVo didn\'t record last Friday\'s episode, but it doesn\'t look like I missed much.
