This song was fitting for the $1,000,000 Tournament. It sounds like it's saying, at least to me, "A huge gala event is underway, and you're the guest of honor!"
@@aatb7No. Break the Bank was another successful Barry/Enright game show that ran first on ABC with Tom Kennedy hosting, and then in syndication with Jack Barry hosting. Here's a syndicated episode featuring Jack Barry and announcer Ernie Anderson: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CLjr7h5gt8Y.html
Rob Griffin, though the list on Wikipedia will not honor it, became the Game Show Winnings Champion for individual players until Curtis Warren in 1999.
Either on the original show or the 1990 version they should have more $1,000,000 tournament of champions but I guess Accor ding to budget spending & being a certain timeline I guess they couldn.t afford to give away THAT MUCH MONEY!!
Can you tell me which player represented which charity? Here are the ones I know (I am not mentioning some that I know because I don’t know how to spell their last names): Tom Parish: CARE Gerry Flynn: American Heart Association Cassandra Dooley: Big Brothers Big Sisters Mark Gluckman: American Cancer Society Hal Shear: Mental Health Association Rob Griffin: March of Dimes Bill Van (insert last part of last name): Special Olympics Ernie (insert last name): Easter Seals Society Camie Magio?: ASPCA Bob (insert last name): American Lung Association
Eileen Jason: American Parkinson Foundation Peter Nagel: Muscular Dystrophy Association Kathleen Alvarez: United Cerebral Palsy Joanna Chisum: USO Darlene Dunham: American Foundation for the Blind Bill Van Erdy: Special Olympics Ernie Blatiempo (I believe): Easter Seal Society Bob Byrer: American Lung Association
@@wesclay14 thanks man! all of them are great great charities. As is the charity that gave Bill Cullen doughnuts when he wasn’t even hungry, the Salvation Army
" Does jack-barry knows that he has gene-rayburn's microphone from match-game 80 & congratulations to mr.rob-griffin for winning the tournament $500,000 going to the march of dimes".
To Rob Griffin: If you're still with us (Please, God, let him be), I wish I could meet you, one of the greatest Joker's Wild contestants of all time. Cassandra Dooley, God bless her with life today), you are no slouch, and to shake your hand would be an honor.
He's still alive and going strong at 80. He never went to college. Joined the Marines in 58'. Started his own company in 1982 with the winnings. He is a quintessential renaissance man.
What kind of company did he start with his winnings? Is it still around, also? I was actually born a couple of months after the tournament and I love watching this whenever I can.
"My fantasy the invisible-troupe my cousin greg-winslow & myself @ home inside the abandoned acme-market on route-61 in shamokin land of messopotamia northumberland-county ioml".
Sadly, there would never be another future tournament on Joker's Wild - as CBS and ABC O&Os slapped a $35,000 (later $50,000) limit on winnings on this show afterwards.
Never sure why. It's not like the networks or the O&O's were writing the checks... The sponsors did, and my guess is this award was some sort of annuity
Perhaps the networks were weary of another rigged game? In the modern era:. Deal or no deal, are you smarter than a 5th grader - all staged. You'll not neither show ever advertised "if you'd like to be a contestant on deal or no deal, go to the following website...'
Would B&E have gone broke if it had gone that far? Imagine Rob taking $2.5M for himself and his charity and C.D. taking a mil for herself and her charity.
It was unfortunate for her. I was hoping she would win because she’s very likeable. Sweet smile and respectful of her parents. I especially liked in episode 1 (game 1 and 2 of the finals) how she reached out and shook the dude’s hand. The dude failed to shake her hand when they came out in the beginning, before game 1. The dude knew a lot of trivia though, and I guess that gives you an edge in a game like this.
805, i LOVE the fact that the question had the word allegedly, cuz gulf of tonkin was as much a false-flag as 9-11. matter of fact the 1960s "to tell the truth" had the cpt of the G.O.T. ship on the panel, i left saying man, even on to tell the truth, they don't!!
SPOILER ALERT - IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW WHO WON, LOOK AWAY! AND FAST! I really liked C.D. I wanted her to win and I was so disappointed when she didn’t. I saw it when it was first on, and now for the first time in a really long time (42 years). She said she was pleased that she won $100,000 for herself but I know she wasn’t! He beat the panty hose off her!
