Pat Finn is an underrated game show host. He was always genuinely excited for contestants winning the big prizes on this, Shop til you Drop, and The Big Spin.
I hope someday Buzzr would air the 1990 version of The Joker's Wild. Fremantle would have to get permission from Sony Pictures Television Studios who owns the rights to The Joker's Wild from 1990.
I like the older version better where they could choose their categories. These questions are a little harder than the ones that Jack Berry used to give them.
@J.C. Gunn [& everybody else] here, yes, back then, on Tuesday, November 27, 1990, "The Jokers Wild" game show had Mr. Patrick "Pat" J. Finn as its previous host just as his former studio announcer there was Mr. Edward "Ed" MacKay!
If they resurrected it for another season, I have to order the theme music to be a more "synth" version of "The Savers," done in a house style. After all, Perrey and Kingsley were ahead of their time with it.
I think this aired 11/26/1990. I figured the date from the amount of the Joker Jackpot. The first win, on September 12, 1990 was $8,000; the second win, $10,500; was on September 28, 1990, the third win, $17,500, was November 5, 1990; and this episode, with the jackpot at $12,000, was on November 26, 1990.
Hey guys, is it me or does Pat Finn get more excited on here than on Shop 'til You Drop? also, I was wandering, how would Jack Barry, Jim Peck or Bill Cullen would've reacted to something like this?

KLINE AND FRIENDS ROCKS THE HOUSE!
Wow Debra and Jim did so good great match.
Ohhh! It’s the “Shop Til You Drop” host. Nice.

Alex Trebek will be very happy with Cleveland since it’s his favorite area for the contestant searches they do on “Jeopardy!”
I've never seen anybody actually win any prizes in the bonus game except for the Joker Jackpot.
As a kid, I watched this on USA Network when school was off. This is way better than Tic Tac Dough with Patrick Wayne.
Oh, I loved Patrick Wayne when he said, "You Blocked!" & "You Win!"..lol!
THIS VERSION ROCKS!
I never saw this 3 contestant version of the Joker's Wild.

The original version of this gameshow had the competition round contestants spinning to find out which categories that they could choose from!

I'm guessing channel 10 also had Tic-Tac-Dough with Patrick Wayne in Amarillo?
The biggest Joker Jackpot was $36K.
What was Pat Finn like off camera?
He's nice I've talked to him

This was prob the last Jokers Jackpot win for 3 mos or more

Anyone else find it pointlesd that they're showing the backside of the machine?
Almost seemed like an unwritten rule back then that all game show sets needed something on a platform that turns
The week of November 26th is mentioned in one of the commercials here, so this is from at the latest November 30, 1990.
Did anyone else notice that they cheated at the end she answered after the clock hits zero
She got it in just before the clock hit zero.
The chick is nice.
11:52 Is that how they spelled "ni hao" back then?

While the gameplay is pretty good, the theme is too repetitive, and the joker kinda creeps me out.
Yeah, this version sucks.....
