I really hope that they eventually ask “the girls” (the models who would bring in the prizes, etc) do one of these favorite moments videos.

They could tell what really happened before a "will it float" episode.

The control room bit secured Hal Gurnee's win as People's Sexiest Man Alive back in 1987. Take that, Harry Hamlin!

I'm sure NBC executives weren't too happy to see a pair of $200K cameras racing down the hall into each other. One looked like it was about to tip over making the turn into the hallway of 6A! Maybe that's why that particular bit only happened once, as far as I can remember. 🤣
