Noted in another thread, but the 2 losing contestants from this show will be playing against Michael Larsen's brother tonight at 8:30 ET on Whammy!, and Peter Tomarken will be back to host for a bit also.

One thing that confused me...
Wasn't the original broadcast split over 2 shows? Did they shoot it as one show and then just pick a point to chop it in half after the taping? I ask because at no point during the playback did Tomarkin say we need to continue this 'tomorrow' (and I say 'tomorrow' knowing that they tape multiple shows in one day).

I think Peter, despite his weight (who among us hasn't put on a few as we get older) still looks good on camera, and was an excellent host for this show. Why didn't he get the hosting gig for Whammy?
I'd buy a DVD of it, provided it did have the full episodes, uncut, and the interviews and deleted footage. I am not interested in regular game shows on DVD, but I'd buy this and I'd also buy the Outrageous Game Show Moments specials on DVD.

It was confusing during the special because then old Tomarkin came onto the same screen and started mouthing off.

Finally saw the show. The stress was really starting to get to Larson toward the end. His male opponent was having fun watching the streak, but his female opponent looked like she wanted to slit his throat.
The documentary seemed to take a little too much glee in Larson's crappy life after the show.
Honk!
