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.
