The final broadcast of the daytime version of "Jeopardy!" on NBC, hosted by the superb Art Fleming, aired on this date back in 1975.
On this date in 1983, 40 years ago today, "$ale of the Century" with Jim Perry, "Hit Man" with Peter Tomarken and "Just Men" with Betty White all debuted on the NBC network daytime schedule.
Only $ale would last more than 3 months, and had a modest successful run of a little over 6 years.
Also on this date back in 1983, Plinko debuted for the very first time on "The Price is Right".
So as you can see, January 3rd is a banner date in daytime game show history!
