The Joker's Wild | 1990 premiere, pt. 1

The Joker's Wild made a return in 1990, but what's odd is that the premiere was adding on from its mock pilot! The designated champion is Michael Cedar, a record producer. His challengers are Judi, a word processor, and Michael Newkirk, an ice cream man. This includes the first two rounds of the 90s definition format

I think the memorial plaque on this version's slot machine was placed below the slots in the middle, right?

@JeopardyandWheelFan Yep

This would have aired on 12/30/91, TJW90 replaced Chain Reaction during its first time on USA(12/30/91-9/11/92). It was replaced by $otC on 9/14/92. TJW90 returned and TTD90 premiered on 3/28/93, and ran until 6/24/94.

@zachhoran This wasn't USA

This show was aired on WNBC-TV (channel 4) back in 1990 when it was on in the overnights.

That is the creepiest joker I've ever seen.

I've actaully done some research, and I've found out that this ep. was NOT the premiere, but actually the 5th ep.

Ryan Rinkerman found out that the most likely reason this rumor began was because this was the first episode aired by USA, based on rerun dates he is given.
