It is too bad that Peter Tomarken is gone
Killed in a plane crash with his young wife
He was one of the most underrated game show hosts
That should had been a bigger star
Like Eubanks, Trebek, Barker, Sajak, etc
Glad though GSN still remembers him
As Press Your Luck is a hot show on there
Despite only being originally on CBS for three years
He was also involved with charity work
And was on his way picking up a patient when his plane went down
Will miss him a lot
RIP Peter Mr Whammy!moreless
