Interesting story about a stupid game show and the guy who broke it.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

"After Press Your Luck, Larson became an assistant manager at local Wal-Mart stores in Dayton, Lebanon, Xenia and Bellbrook, Ohio"

I had such a crush on Peter Tomarken that I had to keep to myself.

That was really interesting, thanks for posting! I'm going to watch the documentary now as I'm still a huge PRESS YOUR LUCK fan. As Liza says - It's m'favorite!

I'd heard about this but never really delved into it. Thanks to this thread I read the articles, listened to the This American Life about it and watched that documentary on YouTube. Peter Tomarken was still hot twenty years after Press Your Luck, may his fine ass rest in peace.
