Whammy! The All-New Press Your Luck(2002)

Whammy! is a game show that revived the classic Press Your Luck format for Game Show Network between 2002 and 2003. Host Todd Newton guides contestants through a fast-paced board game where players answer trivia questions to advance and win cash, but risk landing on the dreaded Whammy—a mischievous animated character that wipes out their winnings. Gary Kroeger provides announcer duties as players navigate the high-stakes game with strategy and luck. The series, taped at Tribune Studios, captures the frantic energy and suspense that made the original 1980s CBS version a cult favorite. Though new episodes ended in 2003, reruns continue to air on GSN, introducing both longtime fans and new audiences to the show's blend of knowledge, chance, and comedic chaos.
