Seems to me like this the is same Elaine in the RHona-Jim-Elaine episode a clip is posted from on UA-cam. That clip comes from the USA rerun, and USA reran September 1988 daytime episodes, but GSN only ran Nov 1988-Mar 1989 daytime episode. Damon Jones won $9048 on Press your LUck on 5/15/85(he is seen in the intros often after that, the guy who wins after hitting Key Biscayne)
Sadly Jay committed suicide in September of 1989. His daughter committed suicide 8 years prior and he never really got over it. That combined with chronic back pain allegedly caused by years of lifting heavy trays at awkward angles on let's make a deal for many years he became severely depressed and turned to alcohol which was the reason he was fired from Sale.
In my humble opinion, I never liked the late version of $ale, only because the Big Winners Money Game took the show off it's original format. It would have worked if it was combined with the original Shopping Bargain $ale, but the go with the flow big money trend doomed this format.
sugarbear522 By 1984, NBC executives put pressure on the show to implement a traditional bonus game. Sale capitulated and implemented the Winner's Board, which was a prize matching game. The show's success in daytime spawned a nighttime version which went with the more traditional shopping endgame. The Winner's Big Money Game was implemented in 1988.
They could've easily done what Temptation in Australia later on did and made the WBMG be added to the jackpot, and still kept the big board or revert back to the shopping format. Not only would the jackpot be much higher due to effort, but at least kept with the spirit of SOTC.
@@GameShowMike Some say Reg Grundy Productions should have refused NBC's demands and either took Sale to ABC, FOX, CBS or went back to Syndication rather than comply with changing the format.
I always loved this set. It was a 1980s version of what the future might hold.
She has to be the most beautiful contestant in game show history!
I was eight years old then and watched all kinds of game shows then. I'm 39 now and still do
I love when they keep the old commercials in. We don't have annacin aspirin anymore lol
this show is currently airs sunday nights on Buzzr
Mrtv1017 It airs on the weeknights now in a line up with Supermarket Sweep leading it.
6:31 Sounds like Jim McKay in that Primatene Mist ad. This was one week before the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul opened.
“Stay tuned for Classic Concentration, follow by Wheel of Fortune next, on most of these NBC stations.”
She is hot. Love this show, watched it just to see Summer Bartholomew.
You have to wonder what Elaine is doing now?
She's probably one of those "sexy grandmas" that never seemed to age.
She's was pig in High school...
Damon looks like Tom Hanks.
I have no doubt that Elaine hadn't faltered on her 6th game she would've at least made it to the $50,000 game.
I don't know if they actually eliminated the $50,000 game around that time Elaine had her run.
Elaine lost on her 7th match to (I forgot her name), but this episode recently aired on BUZZR.
Stacy Ivers
@@aaronbruceladner1983 Thanks! Stacy Ivers had also defeated future Classic Concentration champ Jeff Gilbert that day.
Summer vacation 10:30am NBC. Then lunch
The Elaine show, no one else gets a chance.. sad

Damon was also the only one who won Round 1 in PYL with 0 earned spins.
I thought I'd seen Damon before, and I was right! Thanks for the confirmation!
The guy looks like Tom Hanks.
This episode airs January 15, 2020 on buzzr
It's a waste of emotion, but this bonus round makes me so sad.
Anyone recognize Damon? he won $9000+ on PYL, after have 0 spins in Round 1.
This was my 17th birthday
I used to have the home version of this, but don't remember who put it out. Anyone recall who?
25:29 - Oh wow - Bryan Cranston, trying to sell us some funny white factory-made powder decades before "Breaking Bad"!
johnsonj78 lol. Weird to see him young and normal!
He was doing Malcolm in the Middle in between!
I read somewhere that Jay Stewart was fired from this show. When was his last episode? Was this the end of his career?
He announced on Blackout on CBS after being fired from SOTC.
actualy,he's retired from his announcing duties

gameshowfreak2007 damn. I️ thought you were joking
This Must've Aired After SUPER PASSWORD and SCRABBLE
Is it just me or is someone else looking at Elaine and Summer side by side at end (24:20) and thinking strap-on action???

I agree that Elaine was hot back then probably wouldnt look too good now though
Yes. Definitely
@@footy2rock She's a Botox hag nowadays...

@@chrismc410 he should've took it to Fox, and brought Scrabble along with it. That would've been a perfect portfolio for a then-new network like Fox.
BTW You Will Go Below Zero on This version of "$ALE OF THE CENTURY"
What is up with you and your nonsensical comments?!
