Cover Story: The Press Your Luck Scandal debuts at 7:00 PM. The two Michael Larson PYL eps follow at 8:00 PM (Eastern time). Did he cheat, or did he just outsmart Hollywood producers? In 1984, Michael Larson baffled game show executives when he somehow bested the Press Your Luck game board, evading the dreaded Whammy for over 70 spins, and amassing unprecedented winnings.
Why, yes, Mr. Larson did all of that, in the greatest solve in game show history. You might ask if GSN didn't previously run a show on this "scandal". Why, yes, they did in 2003, with Big Bucks: The Press Your Luck Scandal. I have no idea if this new show is just a re-edit of the old special, or if it's a completely original production.
As I recall, the 2003 show heavily promoted Whammy, the GSN remake of PYL. That's not going to happen this time, I assume, because Whammy is nowhere on the current schedule. Stay tuned for Sunday, January 14.
