is the day time version or night time?

@@duanegunn611 The Daytime Version

Exactly. It was the daytime show.

Hi vanna white new host vanna white🔥🔥❤️👍 jeopardy

yep that's how it was till Fall of '87 on the Syndicated version (Daytime changed when they moved to CBS in the summer of '89. considering the "shopping" element was an NBC idea, i'm surprised they didn't make the show reinstate that element when the Daytime version moved *BACK* to NBC (albeit still taping at CBS)

CARS

Daytime episodes, at least back in the day, were recorded much closer to the air date than the syndicated ones, as there was no episode bicycling and only one source (the network itself) to put out the show. Given the air date, it very well could have been related to the Super Bowl win.

I still have mine

​@@mixon270 Ditto!!

Extremely rare, but people putting their money on account has happened. :)

Happened more pre-bonus round, as that was the only way you could really get the car. But even then, not very often, as the risk outweighed the reward.

@@wschmrdr if you put it on an account wouldn’t you have to win another round to use it

Yes, and it was also vulnerable to a Bankrupt. However, unless you got really lucky with a top dollar value, you had to put money on account if you wanted to buy the grand prizes. Of course, once the bonus round came around, you could use that to go for a grand prize anyway, so why put money on account anymore, if only because you didn't want one of the cheap prizes?

Late 1988

Oct 3, 1988 to be exact

Probably so they can bicycle the episodes to put the more exciting ones on nights where they'll get higher ratings. Sure, they had champions from 89-97 in one form or another, but now that they've gone back to a one appearance limit, may as well leave it as one episode.

The contestants who do the best with solving puzzles don’t always have the best of luck with the wheel. In other words, a contestant might solve the most puzzles but not earn the highest amount of money in order to make it to the bonus round, or a contestant who doesn’t do so well with solving puzzles might earn the highest amount of money for that episode. At least one contestant had the best luck with the wheel and made it to the bonus round more than once but wasn’t a professional puzzle solver because he couldn’t think of the right letters besides “R,” “S,” “T,” “L,” “N,” and “E” in such a round. It probably wasn’t enough letters for him!

what happened there? wasn't that the part where they had to cut to commercial in the middle of the round and the host had the contestants turn around and face away from the puzzleboard?

@@astridamongtheskies No - that was a normal occurrence on the daytime show. Even in the Woolery days, they did the commercial break. The puzzle would have been completely replaced and refilmed. It happened during Susan Stafford's days. She would actually turn letters before they were lit, so the chance of that happening was higher. Vanna usually waited until the letter was lit, so if the stagehand selected the wrong letter, she could have turned it thinking it was the correct one.

We weren't allowed to stare at the puzzle and the used letter board. during the commercial. I guess they thought it would give us an unfair advantage.

@@terrielipke33 oh ok! Thank You! Boy time sure has changed!

@@terrielipke33 so is that why you constestants askede to turn your back to the puxxle board? makes sense i guess the didn't want any cheaters during the commercials

@@terrielipke33 Ma'am, can you confirm or deny the "only one car won per week" rule? Also, congratulations.

Someone said a car could only be won in the bonus round one time per week. It was an unwritten rule for at least the daytime show, but was told to the contestants.

It is a live audience, not canned.

@@badhairdye Clark is correct. The audience is canned, not live. That's because at the time, NBC Studios Burbank was a small studio and holds fewer audience members. There for, they used a canned audience track in post to supplement the audience in the studio.

@@codymerryman5605 nonsense.

@@badhairdye It's not nonsense. Other NBC game shows follow the same exact pattern. I'm sure you've seen other classic game shows from the 70's-late 80's. Same canned audience track. Very little audience reaction from the studio.

@@badhairdye Yeah right?
