- From June 19, 1985. "The $3 Episode". Andrew is back for his 2nd day after winning $18,876. Funny and classic PYL episode with that nail-biting conclusion. The next requested episode after this is Ep. #460.
This has to be the quintessential Press Your Luck episode, as it had everything: spin battles, huge whammy loss, and luck dictating the winner by the smallest of margins in the last passed spin!
I agree and add the comedic antics of Andrew and this show was awesome!
@@EricLimasTPLEra77 The funniest part,IMO, was after the first Spins question. Nobody answered it correctly. It was the way Peter just tossed the question card and his body language basically said "Fuck it. Let's move on.' HAHA
@@253jacksonrhoads1 this is how to have a big money game show with PERSONALITY
I'll say one thing. This game was not boring. Andrew was really playing with fire, and he only lost by $3. Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
I went to college with Andrew. I knew he was on this show but I've never seen it. He still cracks me up!
+raxideez oh! Thats very cool. I wish to see his pics from college. Do you still keep in touch with him?
+MBK1997 Sadly, no. I lost track of him and most of that crowd in the late eighties. Last I knew , he was in Los Angeles, but that was a long, long time ago. I sure wish I could be of more help.
por que quiere estar?
@@raxideez6632 I may be able to fix that for you if you message me.
This is easily one of the funniest and greatest episode of Press your Luck
This is THE closest finish in the history of Press Your Luck. Can't get much closer than that.
Xx
Loved the battle of the passed spins between Andrew and Paul!
I hope Andrew has the time and desire to compete on the ABC version of Press Your Luck.
Arguably the best/most exciting episode of PYL ever.
So this is the infamous $3 episode? Holy crap, man.
Funny that I'm watching this now, right after we lost Yogi, and Peter says "It ain't over till it's over!!" :)
Sorry Paul...having a birthday on Friday the 13th doesn't make you immune to (huge) whammy losses!
Yeah it’s actually the complete opposite
At 2:55 Paul got a little cocky when he said "It means bad luck for everyone playing against ME!" As we see in this episode he shouldn't have said that, Karma haha.
It's wrong to root against contestants but in this case I'll make an exception.
Born on Friday the 13th....WHAMMY
I’d like to see Nina Jo and/or Andrew return to Banks’ PYL for a rematch
Yes!!!
Wow !!!!! What an episode !!!! Back and forth back and forth !!!!!
What an episode! Andrew survived a spin battle with Paul, who lost $19K, and came so close to winning in the end. If the Big Screen TV hadn't devalued earlier in the year from $3800 to $2600, he would have won (strangely, the value would go back to $3800 later in the year).
You never know, price could've onfiulenced him
Or if Paris was worth more than $2518
Don’t forget, Paris used to be worth over $3000.
@@ronaldmatos1516 Perhaps the Mona Lisa Painting lost it’s value in that one, lol.
Andrew sadly lost by like 3 bucks
Nina-Jo & Andrew should have a rematch on Banks’ PYL
22:52 Andrew reacts to the most shocking, most devastating, most heart-stopping, most heartbreaking losses ever! By only $3! Darn, I thought he would come back, but he lost.
A trip to Paris was worth $2,518.
23:01 Nina Jo hugs Andrew after winning the game. Such a great moment.
And Nina-Jo’s Clapping Hands win her Cash & Prizes together!
Miss By 3 Dollars! Oh So Close To Catch Nina Jo!😭
What I find slightly weird is Andrew asks for a Motorcycle twice, has the chance to get it via Pick A Corner, then passes it up
NinjaDragon22 True, though as I note below, the Whammy would have ridden off with it. 😜
I wonder if things would have gone differently for him had he chosen Cancun or the motorcycle.
It was pretty interesting that Andrew had the same 3 choices as Paul when he hit Pick A Corner and he also took the money.
+acotbc For half of 1985, Press Your Luck alternated between two different model Big Screen TVs. Because they appeared in the same square, it seemed like a change in price, rather than a different prize.
What a crazy episode
This is quite possibly the greatest episode of PYL ever. That battle between Paul and Andrew was legendary and Nina Jo winning by $3 was incredible.
19:36 Once again someone stops the board real quick to try and get a passed spin over with and they hit a Whammy, that happened all the time.
Yeah, I guess Paul was the male equivalent of Nancy from episode 505.....
Andrew did good with Paul, but his painful loss at the end😭
This episode must have been too funny, competitive, and entertaining for GSN to air the edited version that was aired originally and on USA in the 90s. I loved this episode. "Press Your Luck" had the best, exciting, and funny contestants, putting Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! to shame in the mid-1980's. I feel so sorry for the show, it could have lasted longer on TV because it was so competitive, funny, entertaining, and probably one of the best on CBS daytime (next to "The Price Is Right").
I agree with you for the most part. I have defer when it comes to Jeopardy, though. Three Stoges guy would have been okay on Wheel, but not Jeopardy. It's a classy, interlectual show. Alex Trabeck would have fainted with this Andrew guy.
Much like the "Family Feud" fast money where the highest a team can get without a win is $995.
@8:05 you can hear Nina Jo shouted whammy
What a battle! 'Nuff said.
YESSS! That was exciting! Whoof! now, that's a game. So far that is my favorite ep.
Also Nina Jo’s Clapping Hands win her Cash & Prizes together.
that game was a close game
Second day in a row that a trip to Tahiti was on the board, though Andrew already had one as part of his winnings.
Do you remember where Tahiti is?
ABSOLUTELY BEST EPISODE!!
That $3 difference is insane. This had everything that made a great episode. The energy this show had was so much fun. I miss this from back in the day. I hope we can get another season with the reboot, even though it does not compare to this version
There's a reboot of PYL? Sweet. game Show network, I presume.
@@40bpaula Nope! ABC and is hosted by Elizabeth Banks. Out of the recent game show revivals, Press Your Luck is by far THE most true and near-perfect replica of the 1983 - 1985 set! We, as game show connoisseurs, have one Mr. Robert Mills, an executive director at ABC, have to thank for that. As of only last Wednesday, the revival PYL is currently on Season 3, and so far appears it will survive the dreaded cancellation curse of the late, great Peter Tomarken era.
@@MIDNIGHT0521 They even debuted this season "Take The Lead + A Spin".
@@MIDNIGHT0521 ABC is on its 5th Season of PYL and honoring the show’s 40th anniversary from 1983 with a “The Big 40” space
Bring on the oxygen!!!!!!!!
BY THREE DOLLARS!!!
Nina Jo vs Andrew and also Nina Jo's win makes the intros.
18:11-19:56 Spin Battle 2.0.
$3 difference between nina-jo and andrew
Andrew, you're leaving with $18,876...and possibly nightmares of losing by a measly three bucks.
John Lee only because Paris was worth $2,518 and not some other amount
That really is the Best episode of Press Your Luck history! Nina Jo and Andrew and Paul were all really sweet! The end with Nina Jo and Andrew was not only exciting but it was also really sweet!!!
And Nina Jo, her Clapping Hands, her Smile & her Nose have some sweet winning her Cash & Prizes together company!
I'm gonna make a refrence to SlimKirby now. "YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! $3!" 22:51
MY GOD, WHAT A GAME!!!! WHOO!!!!
Also, did Nina Jo actually say "Whoa Shit!" when Peter announced her the winner?
+Kei Nanjo yup
O so what I heard she said .... wow!
Buzzr unfortunately skipped this episode, thankfully GSN didn’t speed this one up when it was on GSN
Definitely one of the most exciting games of the show
At 22:51, Andrew is saying in his head "Ain't that a BICTH!!!!!!!"
What a heartbreaking loss for Andrew when he lost by $3.
Much like on The Price Is Right when the Mountain Climber falls off the Mountain in Cliff Hangers.
@@markheying2830I would say getting both small prizes in Secret X and the Secret X is in the one spot out of the three that you don't get tic tac toe
Wow I can't believe Andrew Hit his head on the button
Also a huge $19K loss.
With the exception of a couple of times when all three contestants had $0, then you would probably be right.
By far the best pyl episode ever! Love the show.
Don't you just hate it when you fall short?
Nina Jo rules!
And it looks like Nina-Jo & her Clapping Hands were winning her Cash & Prizes together in this one.
@@markheying2830 😂
22:37 Now that's what you call life or death in this game.
This was the most exciting show I hv seen! Wow!
Showing that nail-biting last spin to me could kind of look like a scene from The Price Is Right. As if you're seeing which one of them has won their showcase.
BTW, anyone know why this airing lasts nearly 25 minutes, than 22 minutes, like most episodes of this show did? Was this a special cut put together by GSN from the original master tape?
You don't want four whammies because that would be a total bummer.
22:52 - Wow! What an ending it was. It cannot get any closer than that. Nina Jo pulled it out by $3.
At least a certain someone isn’t here, otherwise he would obviously declared it a technical win.
Nina Jo, sure is cute. I wonder what she looks like now?
22:53 "shit" is said for the first time on national television.
She says Whoa Yes. You can read her lips.
Not exactly. a few months before this episode, a certain Jim Hess on the last spin let out more than just “shit”
Wow, both contestants thought Paris was way more!
Interesting that Andrew had the same 3 choices as Paul when he hit pick a corner but he also took the money.
7/26/84 where Stacy gets a car on her final spin.
What episode was that?
I can Imagine how Andrew was after it was all over losing by just 3 dollars. Wow
If Andrew landed on the motorcycle, could he have won?
+justin castillo True.
Microsoft Sam At the time he ditched it, it would not have made a difference; it and the rest of his 5-figure stash would have been lost to a Whammy two spins later.
@@michaelj.kerkau1625 Assuming his logic/reasoning didn't change/no paradox universe stuff happened on the board
That was a close but intense game! Damn, I thought Andrew was going to win again but he was off by only $3 unfortunately making Nina Jo the victor instead.
How much was the trip to Paris worth?

Everybody, I'm happy to present you your 2-Day Returning Champion who deserved to be back on his 3rd Day: Andrew!
Good Game !
Is it just me, or contestants named Paul have the worst luck on the show?
Having said that, on that passed spin when he whammied, the nerd in me was hoping for him to hit the $2,500 space in #13 (or the Advance Two Spaces in #11, or the Move one space in #14 with $2,500 showing) which would have given him $22,222 on his scoreboard. (Provided, of course, in the case of Move One Space, he chooses $2,500)
22:50
The scores say it all.
$3 .. doesn’t get much closer than that on PYL
Lucky
Are you sure Nina-Jo's wearing shorts, Peter?
Was this Nina-Jo's only game show appearance?
Not entirely sure.
I wish other contestants could use they're head's on the button with out hands.
