Wipeout

There have been several TV shows called Wipeout.  This ticket is for the syndicated game show that ran September 12, 1988 to June 9, 1989 and had Peter Tomarken as its host.  The game revolved around a large board that displayed sixteen possible answers to a question such as “Name a movie starring Elizabeth Taylor.”  Eleven of the answers on the board were correct and five were wrong.  The five wrong ones were the “Wipeout” answers.  If a contestant picked a correct answer, the contestant won money and retained control of the board.  If the contestant picked a “Wipeout” answer, he or she lost all the money they’d built up and also lost control of the board.  It was a fast-paced game and Tomarken was a good host but it never quite caught on.
