Why do I have a feeling that the missing "specials" were cut up so that parts of them could be shown in some special?
Some WML episodes have some blatant cuts in them - for example, there was one where a mystery guest's (John Wayne?) entrance is cut, as well as the moment when someone guesses who it was. Also, I think the first time Jerry Lewis was introduced as a panelist was cut. At first, I thought it was for ABC's WML special that it aired in its late night slot, but I have seen that, and none of the missing clips are in it. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if something similar was done with IGAS, but instead of airing the cut episodes (and how many of them were sponsored by Winston?), they just shelved them.
