Peter Tomarken, host of the classic TV game show Press Your Luck, was killed in a plane crash yesterday. To me he was the quintessential game show host and I hope that he has nothing but big bucks and no wammies in the great beyond.
As a tribute here's a link to a clip from the greatest episode ever, where Michael Larson memorized the squares and took PYL for all it was worth.

Whammy!
Greatest show ever!!
I tried to buy up the first season and release it in DVD format, but CBS said that it was still in syndication. Where the hell is it syndicated? I would have been rich, if those bastards wouldn't have got my scent. Here are the patterns that Ole Mike memorized... Farasey used to line graph these patterns out when no one was home I caught him twice

Damn that gizzle shizzle nizzle!
