Wheel Of Fortune (Australia) - S1998.00 - Wayne Trish Tony

Unpopular opinion perhaps, but I actually liked Rob as the host, wonder what he's doing nowadays?

[@MrShieldsy100]

Thought he was better in the first few years, he seemed to get bored in the last few years. Also, I went to a taping of WOF in 2002, I told him, at age 10, that I wanted to be a game show host when I grew up. He laughed, then told me, very abruptly, to never work in the media….

IIRC He went into the Board Games business after departing Wheel (and the Media industry) at the end of 2003.

In 1998 I was playing Mario 64 in the morning, Pokémon Blue after school and watching this at night time. Those were the days.

Neat. Wayne won money on both Beat The Chasers in 2020 and The Chase in 2022.

[@brendanhartzer5712]

10:33 the securing of money when solving the puzzle was bought back when filming resumed after the Easter break in 1998 because the filming of episodes didn’t start until after the Winter Olympics ended in late February that year.

Air date would be no later than May 28, 1998 given it’s a Thursday episode and Rob’s mention of winter being a few days away.

When was the M21 Coupe offered on WOF? Also, we’re there any other models of Proton or was it primarily the Persona, Satria and M21 around that time, because I distinctly remember ads for a proton Ute/truck around this time, although it may have been later in the 00’s

[@JamesJimmaHarding]

The only appearance the Proton M21 Coupè made was during the early months of 1999 before it was won by John Xuereb. From February 1997 through to May 2001 when Daewoo replaced Proton as the car sponsor for the remainder of 2001, they primarily gave away the Satria or the Persona. After Proton returned at the start of 2002 and until March 2003 when Renault became the new car sponsor, they primarily gave away the Waja but during the 21st anniversary state challenge in September 2002, they gave away the Satria GTI

Channel 7 signal lapsing in and out that night was it?

[@JamesJimmaHarding]

Probably editing out glitches in the tape
