Another Addendum (Game Show Full Episodes from the unlikiest of places)

SOME STUFF I FORGOT YESTERDAY

Turns out, I forgot some stuff in that post I made previously of new free and official media: rare appearances of full episodes on Jeopardy's and Wheel of Fortune's channel.

 Note that I'll exclude the upload of Pat's final show from Wheel's account as it was a special thing done FOR Pat's retirement...but we do have a 2 parter that shows another retirement (no, not Chuck Woolery on the daytime show during Christmas of 81, but the 1997 exit of a manual puzzle board followed by the next episode with the reveal of the digital one)

I should note that these are NOT edited in anyway... even ads coming from broadcast AND the King World logo making appearances.

A third full episode and a compilation of themed solves also exist, but I won't link to that episode as it's from the current Seacrest era.  But still, here's some motivational puzzles from various periods in Wheel's syndicated history:

As for Jeopardy? We have the Battle of the Decades finale (both parts) as well as the first episode with Eddie Timanus (the first, and only, blind contestant champion they've had on the show)

All the show gave him to accommodate his blindness was a braille readout of the round's categories and a braille keyboard for Final Jeopardy

As for the Battle of the Decades 2 part finals?

TBH, given the trio playing in this 2 day total point affair, we all knew who'd win, but I won't say..... just in case your roommate was Patrick Star, literally living under a rock 

Side note: Not related to full episodes, but kudos to Ken for the Rock & Roll Jeopardy mention when Drew Basile was a Jeopardy Champion and Ken was talking about how Jeff Probst was talking up Drew's Survivor gameplay AND his Jeopardy gameplay

Confessions of a Chuck E Cheese employee: Volume 3

 Another one, which I was working on the interview & transcript on WHILE the other from "current anon" was happening.  Yes, me juggling 2 interviews/chats at the same time, all while doing other things like getting ready for a Dave & Busters trip the next day (the day after when I posted volume 2 and did the draft for this one.  Once again, edited for grammar and formatting.

Confessions of a Chuck E Cheese employee

Image
 I recently got a chance to speak to a friend from one of the Twitch/Discord communities I'm in who just so happened to have once worked for one Charles Entertainment Cheese (AKA Chuck E Cheese). This person, though, wanted to remain anonymous in this interview, so I'll refer to them as "CEC Anon" for lack of a better term. NOTE: THE INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT IS MOSTLY AS DONE IN THE DISCORD DM, WITH GRAMMAR EDITS AS WELL AS SOME CONTENT EDITS (ME ASKING TWO QUESTIONS AT ONCE, DOING ONE WHILE WAITING ON AN ANSWER FOR THE OTHER) Me: Do you remember what animatronic "stage" you had when you were working there? CEC Anon: I was actually too afraid of them to have anything to do with them. But I was a waitress/in costume. Me: Ah... which costumes were you in, if you remember? CEC Anon: Whoever they needed me to be. There was never really a rotation or anything. It's whoever was working and what they needed. Sometimes we only had a Chuck E. Sometimes we had Helen H...
