Wow! I don't know if I've ever seen this. Thank you Wink for bringing back some wonderful memories. Loved every moment of working on this show. And Peter could not have been more of a gentlemen while shooting our pilots. Thank you all for the kind words. Todd

@ActualRealityChannel Жыл бұрын

Wow! I remember being nine years old and watching Game Show Network. Admiring all the grades because all I ever wanted to do is be a presenter on television & radio. Game shows specifically are my passion. I would admire all the greats. Study them and emulate them in my bedroom. And then Todd Newton came on for the first time on GSN. Boy was I shocked. Not only was it a new personality I had never seen before. It was a fresh personality high energy with an absolute love for the contestants. From that moment on, I had to watch every episode of this show. Todd and Ryan Seacrest became my go to examples for anything on air. I’m in my 30s now seeing this pilot for the first time and it confirms everything that I thought about Todd. thanks for being awesome. Wink thanks for sharing!

I very much love Todd and his work. I believe he would bring some new juice and life to Wheel of Fortune once Mr. Sajak and Ms. White retire. But Wheel also seems to be a more sedate kind of show whereas Todd has a bunch of enthusiasm. Todd definitely deserves a big time gig. He did great with Hollywood Showdown and Powerball Instant Millionaire.

@thk573 Жыл бұрын

No, they were actually random. US law doesn't allow these games to not have a fair chance for each player to win. Pilots are different though. They're all actors and the intent is to give higher ups in the networks something to watch as a demo of how the game works. Basically a pitch saying "Here's an idea of how this show would go. Can we go forward with contestant auditions and production?"

The pilot episode was different from the original run on GSN, in which later changed to three contestants starting with $1,000 each, with each taking a turn on the Big Board trying to avoid the Whammy and giving the option to freeze with their total or pressing their luck. Then it followed with the question round to earn spins and take their spins in the final round. Thank you, Wink, for sharing the pilot episode of "Whammy!"

Been wanting to see this for years. Thanks for another gem, Wink! I like that this is unedited so we get to see the outtakes. I know game show pilots are often “fixed” to show the network how things would play out in certain scenarios but I found reshooting the entire question round and having the players give incorrect answers the second time around somewhat odd. I wonder why they did that. Obviously this wouldn’t happen on a normal episode.

Suggestion, if this show should ever be brought back: For the displays, for the sake of readability, I'd go with a black background, with LED segments being as follows: Large green LED segments on a row all to themselves to display how much money one has won, and then below that, from left to right, in a smaller font, the number of spins in blue, the number of passed spins in amber, and the number of whammies in red.

No offense to Todd - he has/had great energy and likability with hosting game shows - but this was Peter Tomarken's game and always will be. The reboot featuring him would've worked if given the chance, despite Bob Boden's insistence on wanting a younger, "hipper" host for this new version. At least he gave Peter a shot, albeit a feigned one.

@michaelj.kerkau1625 Жыл бұрын

I would say, what holds this down is what I would call the "Why so serious?" effect. They styled the Whammys here more as actually-threatening menaces, as opposed to the inconvenient pests prone to wackiness that the original and now the subsequent revival both employ. (And the way-too-prevalent Double Whammys in Round 2 did not help.) It makes this version less fun to watch regularly. (The current CBS Let's Make a Deal suffers from the same thing with its Zonks.) The more formatic adjustments, on the other hand - the different board shape, the different round structure, even the different board elements - I actually don't mind those at all. It's just that this version has less of a "fun" vibe to it.

So what was the point of them redoing the question round? People’s answers changed, contestants had fewer spins. Isn’t that like…altering the outcome of the game? Can they do that?

@junkaholic95 Жыл бұрын

Since this is a pilot, the contestants don't actually win anything and are simply paid to be there. Also, most game show pilots are "fixed" so the network can see how certain scenarios play out and, as such, normal standards and practices don't apply. My best guess is they probably wanted the game to end in either a specific way or amount of time so they asked the contestants to give wrong answers.
