Late Wink Martindale's Bizarre Game Show Collection Living On YouTube

He died in the middle of April, but he lives on over the Internet. Veteran host Wink Martindale had a YouTube page devoted to game shows. But around a month after he passed, there's a plethora of new material still being put up there. And some of it has never been seen before. 

There are pilots for shows that never made it, audition tapes for hosts of The Price Is Right, outtakes from various shows that never made it to air and even the most bizarre programs no one ever saw, like a game called "Russian Roulette", "where a single question could be your last." You can only imagine how that one worked out. 

There are dozens of other bizarre oddities, including Pat Sajak hosting a show that ISN'T Wheel of Fortune.

It's a bizarre collection of what might have been and what was almost on TV game shows. You can see the site here.

I think John O’Hurley did a great job for his audition of the Price is Right. I think he would have liked it better then Family Feud because I heard he did not like hosting it very much because it was not “Family Friendly” as many viewers complained about it. As for Russian Roulette I would be very scared going on that show. Where do people land safely after they are eliminated from the game?
