Anyone know?
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

Jib camera (the flying camera that gives me headaches when they use it on TPIR)

Double Dare was using one as early as '88, IIRC...
There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: Religion, politics, and the proper wrapping of microphone cables.

In November of '79 there was a puzzle on WOF, "I LIKE THE CUT OF YOUR JIB." If memory serves, that's the round in which Elizabeth Melkner bought the console TV/ stereo even though she had enough dough for the pair of recliners.
