Interesting. I didn't realize Charlie did some substitute work around this point.

even though this is syndicated, the helvetica credit rolls i immediately associate with NBC because of $ale of the Century.

[tvpirate05]

@5star555555555 That seemed to be NBC's standard font in the 80s. A few of their other daytime shows used it too, mainly when displaying contestant winnings.

[megamanj2004X]

@tvpirate05 and it also even lingered over into NBC in the early '90s as well, due to them using the same fonts for the 1990s revival of To Tell the Truth (which uses the very same closing credits from Classic Concentration) and the 1993 revival of Scrabble.

[megamanj2004X]

@5star555555555 and especially its sister show Scrabble as well. And like WoF during this time Scrabble also used two-colored fonts for their closing credits.

It is from the 1987-88 season, the proof is the neon $25K sign used in that season, they went to sign with the chasing lights in the 1988-89. I don't recall when Jack Clark's last taped episodes of Wheel taped or aired. Jack actually did some updated Summer rerun fee plugs before his voice grew unable to do them. He died on July 19, 1988. His death was mentioned on the daytime show in late August or early September, and on the nighttime show on the 9/5/88 premiere, the first show with MG Kelly.

Did anybody knew between the syndicated version they never show where the taping happened at while the daytime version showed videotaped at NBC or CBS studios!!! And the daytime version the top value was 2000 & nightime was 5000

I want the show where Vanna is swimming in the pool! I think it was in 1988

[DrPhilMusic]

vanna? Swimming? Pool?

Talk about Jizz in my pants.

[Ivoryface86]

No, if you look at the $25,000 sign, you'll notice that this actually from Season 5 and Jack Clark announced this episode.

[gameshowguy2000]

So you're saying this was a repeat? (As I said before Clark died over the summer, MG did a few shows, and then Charlie O came back.)

[ShaDeed329]

Listen to this voiceover again. That's Charlie O'Donnell, not Jack Clark.

[anakin1255]

that is definately Charlie O no doubt

[ShaDeed329]

That it is.

[MrLogoman007]

It's not uncommon. Charlie O redubbed the closing spiel. Gene Wood did it during the early 00's on TPIR. Rod Roddy did the fee plugs for some episodes of the Kennedy TPIR.

[gameshowguy2000]

This had to be from Season 6 (Jack Clark died over the summer, and after MG did a few shows, Charlie O came back).

[tpir19722007]

I'm sorry - I don't have the entire episode. I recorded these as a kid -- for most shows, for whatever reason, I had a tendency to record only the beginning or only the end.

[jhzenor61481]

@tpir19722007 I did the same thing u did and still do today, is record the opening and closing to shows!
