(except Lingo, where Chuck was host, and Todd was in the announcer's booth, in for Randi).

I thought this was hiliarous...especially when Chuck made a remark about something really obvious and Todd, standing behind him, mouthed "No Sh#*". :-D

Everyone seems to have forgotten the April Fool's episode of Time Machine. John Davidson and the contestant were shown a child on a go-kart before the real car was offered.

I think everyone is trying to forget "Time Machine", period.

You sure about that? I always thought he was mouthing "No way." IIRC, Woolery was reciting the Round 2 scoring rules and noting that Kennedy and Elwood had the chance to catch up to Wahlberg and Summers, and Newton's standing behind him mouthing "No way."

I'll leave it to more expert lip-readers out there.

I don't know, but there's a clip from last season's show. As per Henry Winkler's words: Those teachers weren't actually teachers.

Tom even made reference to this ep on the season premiere, which featured REAL teachers playing...something to the effect of "No, for those of you who remember our April Fool's show last season, these really are teachers." :-)

[quote name=\'SRIV94\' date=\'Apr 1 2004, 01:38 PM\'] OK, since we can't actually do April Fool's jokes here (which suits me fine--I'm fooled enough on REAL posts on occasion), why not talk about April Fool's Day jokes from game shows past?

On the 4/1/88 episode of Wink's High Rollers offered a $2500 set of crystal in column three. After Dean Goss described it, either KC or Crystal lifted the tablecloth off the table it was sitting on, breaking the crystal. The prize then changed to $1000 in cash.
