Before becoming a household name on Lifetime's Shop Til You Drop Pat Finn hosted a version of the classic game show favorite The Joker's Wild in 1990 and is considered the most underrated version of the show. When it was cancelled reruns have never been seen since of The Joker's Wild 1990 version except on USA Network as part of their Lucky Day game show rerun hour. With the surprising announcement of rap star Snoop Dogg's upcoming version of The Joker's Wild on TBS it inspired me to write about the 1990 version of The Joker's Wild
Do you remember watching this version of The Joker's Wild?

Yes, I had seen the 1990 version. To be honest, I didn't like it. The show looked more like a reboot than revival, and that's probably why it didn't last long.

Hi Bestie! I liked the original JW, but I don't think Snoop would be good as a host of any game show. He has too much baggage. Too many people absolutely do not like him at all. With so many good hosts out there needing a job, why pick him at all?
