 A peek at Matt Kaiser's GS trading list indicates he has an ep. of Wipeout where "Peter thinks he's on PYL". THis may well be the episode, and I seem to recall seeing this episode on a USA rerun, too.

 Chuck Woolery has Scrabble flashbacks every time someone draws a red ball on Lingo ("Stopper!").  What next, Bob Barker calling the "over" buzzer Beulah?

 That was an excellent episode. (I don't have it, I saw it in first-run.) I believe it was the first round, and he was telling the players to avoid the Wipeouts, except, of course, he said "avoid the Whammy." The second he did that, he busted up laughing, took a few steps back from his podium, and then returned and said "I knew I was gonna do that eventually." Good stuff. :)

I have an episode where a contestant keeps saying "One More Time" every pick at the board. Peter chuckled: "Heh, heh, heh: Press Your Luck". Also I know of two former PYL contestants that appeared on Wipeout (One being the famous Maggie Brown)

Considering it was 1988. I would well imaging PYL was still on his mind.

Even on Scrabble, Chuck had WoF flashbacks -- accidentally calling the stoppers "bankrupts".

(Hey, cut the man some slack.  The respective sound effects are country cousins of each other, essentially.)
