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
hello Todd, you were an excellent host... i personally wish you hosted the ABC revival
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!
@@tranmanhuc6235 I agree
You're very kind. Thank you@@ActualRealityChannel
HOLY SHIT IT'S THE MAN HIMSELF!! How are you doing Todd?
AWESOME! This is what I’ve been waiting for since the Peter Tomarken pilot! Thank you so much, Wink!
Hi Todd Newton! we love you
Some classic outtakes in this Pilot... This is fun to watch.
A great GSN original 20 years ago and today, would make a great addition to the BUZZR schedule since Fremantle produced it. The first reboot of Press Your Luck 17 years before the current ABC version. I loved all versions.
Fremantle produced it. However, GSN owns the rights to this one. So I wouldn't hold your breath for this version ever coming to Buzzr.
This was great. I love seeing the "master" tapes with the extra bits left in for future editing. Just shows how non-random these games actually were.
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?"
@@thk573They were able to program the board to autohit the Whammy after that one blooper/malfunction that required a reshoot. But I know in practice, that can’t be allowed.
Finally! I’ve been wanting to see this alongside the Peter Tomarken pilot for so long!!! Thank you, Wink!
so long Peter and Hello Todd Newton!
Them spraying the wrong contestant and Dion laughing is the funniest ever.
This was really unique. Thanks so much for the upload! I found it really interesting that they could manipulate the board to land on certain spots for the reshoots.
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.
Todd Newton did an AWESOME job hosting Whammy!
he's on the pilot of whammy
Peter will be proud of you
Also would have been perfect for TPIR...Instead of Carey !!
@@LauraJSnowsurely is
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!"
The next two taped episodes feature no $1,000 bonus, but the Freeze replacement already happened. The next one debuted the bonus.
Love the errors this pilot has like the Double Whammies failing to land and Judge Whammy not being chroma-keyed correctly
This deserved a longer run. That being said, I often felt like Todd was yelling. Maybe it was that loud in the studio.
It's very interesting to see this pilot with the extra bits of the spin reshoots. Now all we need is the 2019 - current Pilot w/ Elizabeth Banks episode.
0:37 - 0:40 Whammy: *"WAZZUUUUUUUP!!"*
Ouch
NO! I REMEMBER HIM NOW! TOD NEWTON WAS ON "Family game night"!! HE WAS THE HOST FOR THAT SHOW AND I USED TO WATCH IT AS A KID. ALONG WITH ALITTLE BIT OF THIS VERSION OF PYL. BUT I HAD NO IDEA HE DID PRESS YOUR LUCK.
He's really good at hosting whammy.
He sure did congrats Todd Newton!
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.
You sort of answered your own question. To show how a normal episode would work out.
Includes bloopers and early cuts
What a privilege it is to come across your Channel Wink. Growing up in the 80's (born in 71), you were such an iconic example of Americana...and still are. You shaped my childhood memories in a positive way and with your charisma and expertise, you did so with style and class. You are such a cool and suave guy! I hope that all is well with you and your family. Thank you for your influence and impacts that you've had on my life.
Thank you, Wink. I've been waiting to see the Todd Newton Pilot of "Whammy! The All New Press Your Luck" ever since I first saw the pilot of "Whammy! The All New Press Your Luck" with Peter Tomarken.
Todd Newton I am so happy honored on the pilot
3:56 All rise for Judge Whammy.
how is the whammy a judge if he's bad he takes money from people
"I don't wanna hear about your money problems. DISMISSED!"
Thanks for the pilot episode. 👍
This is very interesting. I've never seen the behind the scenes of a pilot, with the reshoots. They even did reshoots where they made contestants change their answers to have a different number of spins.
Nice touch leaving the outtakes in. 👌
At 24:12 and 24:35, Dion's reactions were great. His laugh is so contagious. 😂
"Brute force & rope" & Double Whammy bloopers LOL
i LOVED this format
Michael Tiller would have loved this. mtiller06, rest in peace. Long live the Game Show Temple!
This is great.thank you.
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.
Nice pilot, Wink Martindale.
I wish I could see the prizes better but it's still great to see both pilots
now my life is complete :)
And they didn’t switch out the M in the final round after she got the double whammy?
Whammy: WHASSSUUPP!!!!
24:09
The Double Whammy hits the wrong person😅😅😅
o m g i LOVED HER REACTION
And at 25:03, "It's 'The Chamber' all over again!"
@@Mishi45 So, Ariane was in the 2002 show The Chamber???
It all makes sense to me now, I saw clips of this before and I wondered why one contestant looked wet when they didn't hit the double Whammy. Now I know it was a blooper!!!
Does Wink have at least one of the episodes of the scrapped and cancelled Fox game show Our Little Genius in his vault that was hosted by Kevin Pollak before hosting Million Dollar Money Drop and was supposed to premiere on January 13, 2010 but it got scrapped due to pre-production rigging the show?
My TH-cam friend Erin Barton would love this show.
0:40 *WHAT’S UUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!*
Yep this is the early 2000s.
@@JMFabianowhammy boo
THE LOST MEDIA GODS. WORSHIP THEM.
(Oh, and it's RAW FOOTAGE AS WELL!)
I have been waiting for this for so long
If only it was possible to acquire the unaired version of Pointless hosted by Allison Sweeney.
Came somebody please edit this to the 20 minute half hour episode?
I could try.
Whoa. This is so Cool. Have never seen this or knew it existed. It’s like a test pilot unedited. Also they can adjust the controls to land on the same space if they had to do it over. Wonder if they anything for helping test it.
Megan with the Michael Larson two hands approach
2:31 Say Bye bye cuz you’re moneys gone. Bye bye bye. Me: what happened to the original version?
I believe this was an original version but they scrapped it due to copyright
Can't wait to see.
this was the pilot of Whammy i liked this format better than the other Whammy that was on gsn
ALL HAIL, KING WINK!
Ariane already lost the "G" with that (double) Whammy so IDK why she wanted the "M"
I suspect she did not know. It was interesting that the producers did not tell her.
There was an mute audio glitch when they showed the snowboarding whammy one the second time
Also: Someone in the chat asked whatever happened to Maggie Brown (of original PYL fame).
Aside from she'd now be known as Maggie Schpak by the time she returned for actual episodes, you may be surprised to learn that she'd go on to be a metalwork artist for the Star Trek universe: th-cam.com/video/Gqqk7B44oAg/w-d-xo.html
Star Trek!?
episode 1 of the final product😎😎😎
no this was a pilot episode and is way different from the final product.
WAZZUPPPPPPPPPP
My only concerns are which were real in the final print, and which were outtakes, since unlike other series, game show pilots are never seen on air. In the question round, 2 player changed their answers on 1 take on the third question. The spin count as seen on the alleged final print was different.
Do you by chance have the pilot episode of Russian roulette with all of the outtakes?
This Rd 1. with giving every 1 3 spins should've made it to the actual show.
@0:45 this was seen on GSN’s promos leading up to the premiere of the series, especially in those dreaded credit crunches.
21:03
Todd Newton: Stop at $750 and a spin!
Megan: YAAAAAAAY!!!
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.
Who is going to win?
24:13
The big bucks space is unevenly placed.
because the board is unevenly placed.
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?
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.
It’s a pilot so that means they can do whatever they want because it will not air on tv
Since this is a pilot episode, these are actors playing the role of contestants. They don't win any of the money and prizes.
The was a test run to see if the network picks up the show.
I don't know why they did a retake of the question round.
Good thing it was scrapped because it's a hell of a mess.
I always hated the Double Whammies.
I rather have Peter tomarken hosted whammy better than Todd
Those double whammies are very messy and embarrassing!!
You won a Breitling watch ⌚zenith flat panel television and wave runner thst give you grand total $15,674 congratulations dion 😊 👍
7 minutes and I cringed a little
What a poor episode...stop, start, repeat. Frustrating
Welcome to making television! BTW, you're not meant to see this.
They overlay the Whammy cuts. They can’t see them on stage.
@@ChokeslamToHell Not true. I was a stand-in for rehearsal and when a Whammy animation appeared, all of the game board monitors switched to show the animation.
It's a pilot. You might say "rigged' or "fixed" but here since it's not broadcast, there's no Standards and Practices overlooking this.
Too many do-overs.
That was Hilarious 🤣😂🤣
