THey lowered the value of the grand prize later in the run from about $5K to about $2500. Eileen Mintz, who was a multi-day champion on the version later in the run, said the only prize she actually received was a trip to Paris.

Alex looks more like a porn star than a game show host. Game show host, interesting career.

I rememer this game show. It aired in Miami for a very short time. My brother and I enjoyed the pitfall round, where the contestants would go down the elevator.
