Hard to believe it's been exactly 40 years(!) since TV viewers saw a chap named Winston Conrad (alias Wink) Martindale set foot on a game show stage for the very first time. But that's exactly what happened when he made his debut as host of What's This Song; a show combined elements of Name That Tune and almost every other 'celeb-civilian' game show that was out at the time.

Cordially,

And the only show where Wink was known as Win.
