Elizabeth Banks' Press Your Luck and Joel McHale's Card Sharks launched earlier this month

Let me tell you about the new ABC versions of Press Your Luck (starring Elizabeth Banks) and Card Sharks (starring Joel McHale). The new Press Your Luck could be, like the original CBS daytime series, recorded at CBS Television City in Hollywood (or not). This new version of Press Your Luck features Neil Ross (the announcer of Game Show Network's first promos for reruns of Peter Tomarken's CBS daytime series in the early 2000s) serving as Banks' announcer. I don't know who the voice of the "new" Whammies is, but on Tomarken's CBS daytime series, the Whammy was voiced by Bill Carruthers, the creator, executive producer, and regular director of that version.

McHale's Card Sharks features Donna Jay Fulks (also the current narrator of Olive Garden commercials) as announcer. McHale's Card Sharks also features the same theme from Alex Trebek's Double Dare and later Jim Perry's Card Sharks.

I've recorded WOF/J! long credit rolls in the past

I've been recording long credit rolls from episodes of Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune from 2006-08, mostly those that haven't existed anywhere on the Internet (for example, the November 30, 2007 episode of Wheel and some of Jeopardy's first of two 2008 Teen Tournaments). I've even recorded a long credit roll from Jeopardy's 2007 Teen Tournament in the past, along with part of a long credit roll from the first episode of Jeopardy's Teen Tournament Summer Games at the end of season 23. I've been recording all those long credit rolls from a few to several VCR's.

Here's a list of the clips I had recorded to a VHS tape more recently, with a Panasonic Blu-Ray Disc player hooked up to my most recent VCR, one from Admiral. The clips are all credit rolls.

The February 26, 1993, December 22, 1994, and June 9, 2006 episodes of Wheel were what I used to watch on the Internet, in part. Another episode of Wheel, new to the Internet but only on the Internet Archive, is from February 3, 2006 with a full credit roll.

Do you have any episodes of Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune from 2006-08 with a long credit roll?

If you do, you could upload them to the Internet Archive, but if you don't have an account yet, you must create one right away. Here's the link to the Internet Archive homepage so that you can sign up for an account!
