$41,571 was a lot way back then in 1984, imagine how much it would be now in 2022!

That was really sweet at the end of the second showcase that johnny olson mentioned his wife Penny. That was awesome. Rest in peace Johnny and Bob Barker.

[@manofthehour6856]

Yes! I always loved Johnny Olson. Great voice and delivery, always well dressed and gentlemanly, and a great sense of humor to ham it up with the ladies in the sketch showcases at the end. To me, one of the highlights of the show! His passing the following year was an absolutely monumental loss. And yes, that was so charming for Johnny to pay such tribute to his wife! I knew he was married, and that the "ladies man" character in these skits was "tongue in cheek", but didn't expect his wife to be mentioned / shown.

1. It's a good thing she won 10k in cash. That would have helped her pay the 17k tax bill. So she only would have owed 7k in taxes 2. In today's money her winning would be worth about 120k 3. That 1984 Cadillac she won was absolute dog water. My family owned one and would go about 50k before breaking completely down.
