Although this wasn't known at the time of taping, this would end up being legend Wink Martindale's final episode hosting the show, as he would move on to the short-lived Headline Chasers.

Wink Martindale was my hero as a child. I even had a suit, that whenever I wore it, I told everyone I looked like him! 😁

I imagine at the end Wink said that "As I said earlier, we are taking a break for while. We will back soon to continue the game between Giselle and Archie. During the upcoming weeks, you'll be seeing some of the choice shows of Tic Tac Dough from this past year..." He probably gave an extended thank you for seven years of the show, then came the part GSN did air.

Actually, both TTD and TJW were struggling in the ratings by then, so I don't think the change in hosts made a difference...it also didn't help that besides returning favorites WoF/J!/LMaD, there was a glut of new syndicated game shows for the 85-86 season (The $100K Pyramid, Headline Chasers, Break the Bank, Catch Phrase, The New Newlywed Game and The Nighttime Price is Right).

@MatthewJicha 2 ай бұрын

@@ChuckD79 The main reason TTD and TJW went down in the ratings is because Wheel and Jeopardy stole their ratings from them. IF Wheel and Jeopardy never came on, TTD and TJW would've lasted longer to the end of the 80's or early 90's. I'm waiting for Wheel and Jeopardy to come to an end.
