@Everybody here, yes, back in year 1990, "The Joker's Wild" game show had Mr. Patrick "Pat" J. Finn as its previous host just as his former studio announcer there was Mr. Edward "Ed" MacKay!
Even as a fan of classic Joker, I liked this version also. The only flaws I see are whenever spun jokers, they should have given the option to go off the board, and three jokers should have meant any category in play, not just what came up on the wheels after you spin them.
That and make a triple Joker it $250 bonus in the first round and $500 in the second round, and much rarer natural triple be an instant win the round 1 and instant win with a correct answer with round 2.
Yes, this is Studio 31. A little trivia: Originally, CBS Television City was built with four studios, and 31 and 33 each had a dedicated theater pit. But in the early 1960's, the former was covered up in concrete, and since then, only 33 has the theater pit.
I didn't like the first revival of this with the definition as much as this version of it. Wish they would have stuck with this but had two contestants and play until $2,000 , also with three joker's you get to select the category instead of three random ones. I've seen worse revivals than this show though, Card Sharks 01 was the worst.
To tell the truth, out of all the 1990-1991 offerings in game shows, I actually prefer Joker's Wild, The Challengers, The $100,000 Pyramid, Super Jeopardy!, and To Tell The Truth out of all the other 1990 rubbish, especially Tic Tac and Monopoly! And that's saying something.
You must be thinking of Monopoly Millionaires Club. The 1990 version was the one with an awful host with no hosting experience! I also loved the Family Double Dare reboot from 1990. I also consider All About the Opposite Sex, Trump Card, Fox's Fun House (with MC Mike), Hold Everything, and Turn It Up! (More like Turn It Off!) to be pure garbage.
What about The Quiz Kids Challenge or Krypton Factor revival? Plus Nickelodeon had Robb Edward Morris as new host of Make the Grade as well as the debut of Get the Picture with Mike O'Malley (and IIRC What Would You Do started during the 1990-91 season). Thoughts on those?
@@cevancarr No. I thought the Quiz Kids Challenge was pretty decent. Krypton Factor was a dreck of a teen game show and made me wish the classic UK episodes would air in the USA. And I do infact like Get The Picture and Make The Grade (I even played the fan-made computer game of it!) as well as What Would You Do, and not the one from ABC News (though I also like that show too.)
Game shows in general didn't have staying power back then. We're talking about a time when the daytime WHEEL OF FORTUNE was canceled THREE times in just over two years.
@@OliveOyl12590 And Joker and Tic Tac 1990 got stuck in late night time slots in NYC, Philly, and PIttsburgh, and probably elewhere. Didn't help Kennedy's TPIR's cause airing after Letterman on WNBC five years either.
It would be nice if Buzzr air this version of The Joker's Wild. But also it's depends if Sony Pictures Television Studios outright or co-outright own this version of The Joker's Wild with Fremantle since Kline & Friends rights are now own by Fremantle. Is this true or just fiction? Just curious.
exactly, In the first portion Pat reads off a series of definitions to words all beginning with the same letter, each word the contestant can get in 60 seconds earns one spin. The contestant then takes those spins to the "joker machine" and tries to win prizes. 3 of a kind wins the prize you matched up. You can freeze/unfreeze windows after each spin if you so desire, getting 3 jokers wins the Joker Jackpot which starts at $5,000 and grows by $500 every time it's not won. Since it's hard to win, It's gone pretty high a few times. In one case it was won for $36,000. I thing I don't like, Once you win a prize that ends the bonus round. Even if you have spins left you can't use them.
some episode also had an audience game, members of the audience spun the wheels up to 3 times, if they matched a prize they won $100. Otherwise they got a joker's wild t-shirt.
I remember that lady?? Spoiler...?? Winning big money...won't say much it's on u tube and she kept being asked by him and she was annoyed almost. ...." are u ok...are u ok ?....." I'm ok"...lol thanks for info here
Never saw this version before. The only criticism is the extremely poor graphics (for a show from the 90s). It seems even more primitive than the original show.

That was the lineup back in the late 80's early 90's : The Jokers Wild, Jackpot, High Rollers and Talk About.
This Game Show was on USA.
Thank you for uploading this episode of The Jack Barry Show hosted by the man named Shop 'Til You Drop.
I wish they the joker wild on the air that was a great show

I like it better when Pat Finn is not wearing glasses
He doesn't wear them on Shop 'Til you Drop and The Big Spin.
the current version is on Wednesday nights on TNT and hosted by Snoop Dogg
This was from 1991. I know it had to have been after October 1990 since Vanilla Ice topped the charts then.
i prefer the jack barry version much better
This Version of jokers wild was great love Patas there host at that time so wish it came back on.
The Joker's Wild's 1991 cancellation is set to make an appearance as a contestant on Celebrity Bucket Kickers next month.
Snoop Dogg's version has made this one watchable again.
Sadly, it went up in smoke. WAY too much 'Hip-Hop' in his version.
The original is much better
Tony it's 304
Which Salt Lake City local station aired the joker's wild with Pat Finn?
The JB version fro 81-86 was the best.
Did they tape this in studio 31? I thought all episodes were taped in Bob's studio.

The theme song is so annoying it kept repeating itself

Terry Lee Mangrum II monopoly was not rubbish

Monopoly would've been great with Peter Tomarken and the pilot's format

Why couldn't you go off the board? I see how and why this show failed after one season.

This actually wasn't bad...the $ amts move across when 3rd player eliminated. .neat...I don't understand bonus round..need 3 x kind?

The 'devil' should've been added too.
Oh, let's not forget...jokers could *not* be frozen and you had to convert them to prizes if one or two showed up.
Never saw this version before. The only criticism is the extremely poor graphics (for a show from the 90s). It seems even more primitive than the original show.
Though John did get the instructions in book plots mixed up, he still moved on with Tony.
Hated this version. This is what happens when you don’t stay true the original version.
This was LAME. Going back to Jack Barry.
Finn is a dweeb
