Gambit - Full Rare Episode

Thank you to all who brought my Facebook page to 3,000 likes...and now let's play GAMBIT!

Although my wardrobe was provided by Botany 500 (for Gambit, Tic-Tac-Dough AND High Rollers), I actually purchased that "rather colorful" jacket! (If you can believe it). Goes back to the old saying "if you can't be good, better be loud"lol!!! On occasion I would wear my own clothes on the show (as I did on this episode of Gambit).

GOOF! You'll note I goofed and almost failed to give the Devores a card. Although a natural "goof" on my part - it's likely that TODAY that would be "fixed" in post! A sign of the times.

In the seventies we always plugged the fact that questions were authenticated by World Book Encyclopedia! Don't be the first one to ask me "What is an encyclopedia"?

As I watched this episode I was reminded that (much like Top 40 radio at the time) - the producers insisted on keeping the show MOVING....i.e. pacing of the show was always uppermost in my mind...which cut down on my interviews.

During the days of GAMBIT the dollars and prizes seemed "over the top". Today, with MILLIONS at stake - our payoffs seem almost laughable.

Finally - what stands out to me today are how the GRAPHICS then were so 'basic'. Make that read 'old fashioned'. Today's modern technology makes anything graphically possible.

Anyway, I hope these memories enhances your enjoyment of this classic rare episode of GAMBIT! - The Winker
