So I picked up the new Wheel of Fortune handheld game from Educational Insights, and there's a fun detail on the back of the box:

"Featuring the voice of Jimmy McGuire, Stage Manager of Wheel of Fortune."

Did you buy it at a store (which?), Or online?

Jimmy McGuire holds the same job on J! now.  He originally was hired  as a "Clue Crew," member.  It surprises me that neither he, nor any other  former "CC" member was given the chance to guest host.

What are your gripes. I watched it at the gym a few weeks ago, and it's clunky in some areas but mostly inoffensive IMO. Wasn't Monty a consultant up until his death?

LMAD has become such a freak show under Fremantle, it's unwatchable IMO.

Sharon Hall (Monty's daughter) sold LMAD to Fremantle. Not sure what the deal was with Monty's two other children or with Stefan Hatos's interest in the partnership.
Perhaps I'm reading this article incorrectly, but I read the below articles as Fremantle was licensing the format from Hatos-Hall.  In 2021, a couple business execs bought Hatos-Hall and the IP rights that went with it.

Bruce would have been in the running when it was pondered to have couples playing in the CBS revival, not just because Mark saw Bruce on The Muppet Show.

If I recall...the early 80s Dream House....wasn't it first produced or co-produced by Group W then changed later to Lorimar (or vice-versa)?
The former.

Raid the Cage is more of the 10pm show to me.
CBS now apparently agrees. Hollywood Squares will air at 8 PM on Wednesdays beginning next week, per Deadline. Price follows at 9, Cage at 10.
