The Whammies bow their heads in silence...
A co-worker just sent me a link (click the title above) to an article announcing that dapper 'Press Your Luck' host Peter Tomarken and his wife were killed in a small plane crash off the coast of California yesterday afternoon. Obviously this is no time for jokes; I just wanted to say that I used to watch the show allllll the time when I was younger, usually during the summers when I literally sat in front of the television staring at USA Network for hours on end because they played non-stop game show reruns. 'Press Your Luck' was always a fun show, and who could deny the power of The Whammy?
