Here are some pics of Peter Tomarken on "Whammy" and "Press Your Luck"
And two of my favorite video clips:
This one is one where he "pays his respects" to the wardrobe man because "the Whammies ate him". Great closeup shot of the PYL board in motion.
RIP Wardrobe Man
While this isn't a Tomarken clip per se, it is nonetheless worthy of mention: this clip involves two contestants pressing their luck with one spin and passing that one spin back and forth to each other (often referred to as a "spin battle"). And there was close to $50,000 on the line between the two of them. A VERY exciting clip.
Mother of All Spin Battles
I have a homemade "Press Your Luck" game on my computer which plays almost identical to the actual show with actual graphics, fonts, voice and other SFX and even Peter Tomarken "hosting" the show via SFX. I am a bit saddened to hear his voice now as I play along. But that's ok, because he's at a place where the Whammies can't go.
RIP Peter.
