Stephen Matthews' triumphant return (Whew! episode 184, OAD 1/21/1980)

In October 1979, Stephen Matthews dislocated his knee in celebration of a match win on the game show Whew! He returned over 3 months later to take care of some unfinished business.

Any update?

[@user-ym3fd5se3v]

Is he still alive by any chance I'm just curious?

[@mike.klauss]

If Mr. Matthews is still alive, I know some people who would love to interview him about his experiences.

[@KentB3]

I saw this when it originally aired, and have been looking for it for years! Thanks so much for uploading!

[@MojoRover765]

Thanks for posting this! After I saw the episode on BUZZR where Stephen got injured, I had wondered what happened when he returned. This is a moment of classic game show TV for sure!

I'm glad that Stephen got a second chance.

Nobody deserves to win $25,000 more than Stephen.

[@mattkowal90]

Better yet, a grand total from his previous winnings he earned and deserved $28,440!

[@TLEberle]
