Press Your Luck

.....are the Whammies, those demonic little imps who show up to steal the money from the contestants if any one of them lands on a Whammy. Recently, my wife and I watched an episode where this lovely lady racked up the bucks and the prizes without getting a Whammy. And that's with the understanding that the more spins are taken by the contestants, the greater the chances of those little devils making their unwanted appearance. Elizabeth Banks is the perfect hostess for this show, so it's hard to believe that she had been in THE HUNGER GAMES movies. I know not who does the Whammy animation, but when PRESS YOUR LUCK aired on CBS from 1983 to,1986, the animation was done by Savage Steve Holland, who has also directed his share of comedy movies. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must get back to PRESS YOUR LUCK. Take care and be safe.
