[quote name=\'catkins522\' date=\'Dec 22 2003, 06:05 PM\'] What about the death of Rod Roddy?

 For those who don't know, there is a person behind the scenes in the Rod situation that hasn't been given his due. His name is Lawrence Segal who was a former intern on TPIR.

I've met him before and he's a great guy. He basically quit everything he was doing to take care of Rod 24/7. His parents even shut down their business to move to California to be with him.
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

Bob had him on camera during Season 30 during an ep that taped on his B-Day, which Bob acknowledged.

2003 also brought us the first 6-game winner on Jeopardy!

And 2003 marked the first year of Wheel finally going out of its roots, and into something new:

COMPUTERIZED COLOR LIGHTING! And some new colors, too, to other things.

Yep, those gold accents that we grew up watching are now history. The spikes on the puzzle board have been taken down, the front game Wheel's light bulbs are gone, and the Bonus Wheel's lettering has gone from red to blue, and the colors, are darker.
