June 13: This Day in TV History

1975: The Joker’s Wild ends a three-season run on CBS. The show would later return in syndication in 1977 and endure for another decade.

The CBS TJW finale is on YouTube on three parts (including the classic closing with the darkening of the studio) at:

I wonder if the final two contestants who didn't get to finish their game ever got a chance to appear on the syndicated TJW after it premiered in '77?

Interestingly, Jack Barry said when saying goodbye "We'll see you shortly."

Three days later (6/16/75) "Spin-Off" with Jim Lange premiered on CBS in the old TJW slot, beginning a three-month run.
