Chuck Henry's NYSI started fifteen years ago on April 3 and ended on Friday the 14th.  Nothing spooky about that.

Unfortunatly, it appears the tapes are no longer around... [/quote]
I think we reported in ATGS that Burt Sugarman is sitting on something besides Mary Hart, ergo the tapes of Sweepstakes(at least some of them) might be in his holdings. [/quote]
 I blame Sugarman for Randy Amasia never seeing his $25,000 Whew! win on television because Sugarman owns the tapes and when GSN tried to purchase them, Sugarman demanded too much dough.

 Two things Chuck Henry can be glad about hosting NYSI is that 1: none of the episodes were LIVE TV.  2: he got to interview over 100 strangers.
