The Big Payoff
« on: March 07, 2010, 02:04:52 AM »
I was browsing through the Game Show Pilot Light last night and stumbled on The Big Payoff page.  I found out some years ago that my great aunt was on this show and won a console television among a few other things.  Just curious as to whether or not any episodes exist in trading circles and whatnot.  Anyone know?

There is one episode in circulation.  It was taped outdoors at Central Park and the contestants were Arthur & Arlene vs. Joyce and Dr Sykes.

I know of a silent CBS-era clip floating around (although for the life of me I don't know where I found it), and I think a few episodes are held by UCLA and/or Paley Center.

That would be the pilot of the 1962 revival.

There were some audio clips of the Randy Merriman version on the web in the past.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

Um...do you know what contestant Joyce's last name is/was?
