Today, these three players are after BIG BUCKS!! (Or in the early days, they were only after high stakes. Nevertheless...) But they'll have to avoid the Whammy!! As they play the most exicting game of there lives...From Television City in Hollywood, its time to PRESS YOUR LUCK!!!

Press Your Luck was one of the most original, unique, crazy game shows that was ever produced. Imagine grown human beings (most of the time), yelling at a large illuminated board, screaming at the top of there lungs. That was what made Press so interesting. And in most cases, it made us watch more and more. And the funny thing is, that Press Your Luck was never intended to be so interestingly cool like that. It was supposed to be just a sit down, calm program. A year later, it gets a reputation for being "the most zany game show in the history of the genre".

On November 5, 1998, Paige Green (as in the Paige on the PYL Favorites Page) was on the current run of Hollywood Squares! Paige is the one in which the "N" in "SPINS" fell off her scoreboard. She won a total of $1000 on Hollywood Squares. Below are 2 pics of her, one from each game show!
