June 27, 1975-Split Second (Last Show)

-Apparently this disappeared from YT some years ago and no one's reuploaded it in the years since. The last episode of the great ABC daytime game show "Split Second" hosted by Tom Kennedy which ran from 1972-1975, noted for its fast-moving game play and end of show suspense on whether or not the winning contestant successfully picked the car that would start in the bonus round.
-This last episode is notable for its ending in which Tom introduces the production people and among them is a young, unknown Markie Post who didn't start acting until the late 70s (Markie would also work behind the scenes on the Goodson-Todman show "Double Dare" and work as a substitute model on the Jim Perry "Card Sharks"). And there are two notable contestants on this last show. Judd Rose, then a UCLA student would later become a top correspondent for ABC News in the 1980s and 1990s (he died sadly of a brain tumor in 2000). Steve Robinson (1952-2016) of Lake Tahoe, NV meanwhile it turns out was the only child of famed humorist and "I've Got A Secret" panelist Henry Morgan! (web.archive.org/web/200711120...) He died in 2016.
