I remember watching this documentary on Game Show Network 20 years ago. I was just a toddler during the time contestant Michael Larson achieved his impressive one-day victory in my year of birth,1984. This unemployed ice cream truck driver from Ohio won more money in a single-day appearance on Press Your Luck than anybody else on any other game show. Just think how long it would take trying to figure out and decode Press Your Luck's game board - trying to memorize the algorithm of the board and scoring over $110,000, which is over a quarter of a million in today's money..
From what I also remember, GSN's Whammy game show did a tribute to Michael Larson where they invited his opponents and someone from Larson's family since he passed away in 1999 do to throat cancer. I doubt that in 2024, ABC's version of Press Your Luck will do a 40th anniversary tribute to Michael Larson with another rematch.
