I love your Wheel of Fortune episodes! THEY"RE AMAZING! Now what I'm wondering is can you please post the Karen Martin or Gene Snyder episodes from Press Your Luck on either Youtube or Veoh, PLEASE!?

[mtiller2006]

I'm trying to find some time for that. I'm in the middle of trading at the present time, and I'm uploading as I go, so it may take some time.

Stick to the Chargers, Rolf.

If anyone has any of the following Rolf episodes...

A; The episode where two contestants tie at the end of the game and he admits to the world that he has no idea of what to do.

B; The Teen Week episode where in the final spin, he gets excited when he lands on $2000...only to be corrected by a contestant that he was looking at the wrong arrow and he had, in fact, landed on BANKRUPT.

...it'll make my life feel a bit more complete.

First say "Row-loff Ben-ersh-ka" ! Then say who ?

[jwgreek8606]

@FutureNewsAnchor you bet. At the time he was working with ESPN he was a rising star in sportscasting. I am sure NBC Sports wanted him there and Brando would have said no. I mean ESPN not only gave him his blessing they also saw it as a way to promote their network.

@jwgreek8606 The same Tim Brando who works for CBS?

[Jessyleppert]

A Horrible host of Wheel of Fortune.

[Angie2343]

Isn't Vanna gorgeous here?

@godgundam10

Actually the daytime version went downhill because of Pat Sajak's departure from the show to do his late-night talk show for CBS, which competed against the Tonight Show (then with Johnny Carson).

@jwgreek8606

Bob Goen ultimately got the job when the daytime Wheel moved to CBS effective July 17, 1989.

@jwgreek8606 exactly.....NBC didn't broadcast Tennis until late Spring or Summer!!!

[jwgreek8606]

@johnnyafairbanks Yeah, Merv should have had second thoughts about Rolf. And went with Tim Brando.

[jwgreek8606]

@godgundam10 Yeah and we would have seen Top Secret.
