The three legends who made this game a pop culture icon have now been reunited
in the heavens. They are all truly missed, they will always be in our thoughts
and prayers, and when we leave this world, we will look forward to seeing them
again.
Godspeed, gentlemen. I hope to meet you all one day.
TODAY, THESE THREE PLAYERS ARE AFTER BIG BUCKS! BUT THEY'LL HAVE TO AVOID THE
WHAMMY, AS THEY PLAY THE MOST EXCITING GAME OF THEIR LIVES.

AND NOW, HERE'S YOUR HOST, THE STAR OF PRESS YOUR LUCK...

Welcome to the Press Your Luck page. Since it's beginnings in
1983, it has been my all-time favorite game show. Colorful,
suspenseful, and full of fun and strategy, it was the ultimate game of
chance. Now, it's my chance to present you with my memories of this
incredible show.
The PYL Interviews - Enjoy these sitdowns with some memorable contestants from
the show's history.
