On this day, Nov. 7, 1990, there was the biggest moment where Thomas Van Dyke goes for his 12th bonus end game on TJW90 and won the $17,500 Joker's Jackpot, this was the last time the Joker's Jackpot was won in the original self-contained "money on the screens in the main game" format and the 11/8/90 show was where Thomas Van Dyke got defeated on his 13th and last show he appeared on as a contestant.

This truly deserved its own thread.

On November 9, the Carson Mint released its own line of commemorative dinner plates in remembrance of this event, a true milestone in game show history.

And on that same date 17 years later, Iris Mason became the first person to have a _______________ shoved into its hard drive.

Putting another question into this otherwise MEANINGLESS thread (Par for the course for Irismason), wasn't there a woman who won a $36,000 Joker Jackpot on this show? IIRC, it aired at the start of a show, because the unstrattled format would straddle when it would take contestants too long to reach 2000 bucks....

Yeah, in 1990.

Incidentally, that's the highest the Joker's Jackpot has ever been.

A Chuck Woolery? So this was a Would-Chuck question?

Rhetorical or not, I like it.

I'd tell you the answer, but I can't remember the precise word. I'm not up on the Lingo.

Truth of the matter is, it depends on the level of Greed of those involved.

Nicely done. I was thinking I'd scrabble around to find another one, but I think I'll just leave it here.
