A lot of folks find themselves in debt for a number of reasons, whether its student loans, or credit cards, or whatever.
In 1996, Wink Martindale came up with the idea of a game show in which contestants could erase their real-life debts. Hokey, yes, but for two years, it seemed to work.
Debt, hosted & produced by Martindale, aired on Lifetime from 1996-8, a standard quiz game, one of the last ones of Martindale's storied career.
Martindale's own YouTube channel offers a studio master of an episode.
This video had been uploaded to YouTube earlier today. Minutes ago, we learned that Martindale, 91, had passed away, months after the passing of one of his best friends, Peter Marshall. Hopefully, Wink has left his channel in safe hands to keep the good times rolling. Rest in peace.
