"Press Your Luck's" Peter Tomarken - Playgirl Centerfold?
I was watching an old interview with him on The Game Show network that was done shortly before his death, and he said that in the 1980s, Playgirl magazine approached him about posing nude for a proposed "Game Show Hosts" layout. He joked that he considered it until his wife said "no way."
Damn. I'd have liked to have seen his whammy.
I wonder if they asked Alex Trebek, too. He was hot in the 1980s.

I didn't realize he died. He was only 64 at the time.
How tragic!
[quote] Tomarken—a private pilot—and his second wife, Kathleen (born June 12, 1964), were killed when his Beechcraft Bonanza A36, N16JR, crashed a few hundred feet offshore in Santa Monica Bay during climb-out from the Santa Monica Airport in California on the morning of March 13, 2006. The aircraft lost power shortly after takeoff and Tomarken attempted to turn back to the airport before crashing into the bay. The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the Tomarkens' chances of survival "would have significantly increased" had the plane been equipped with shoulder harnesses in addition to lap seat belts. The cause of the crash was determined to be an improper repair to the aircraft engine that resulted in a complete loss of power.
[quote] The Tomarkens were volunteers with Angel Flight West, a nonprofit organization that provides free air transportation to needy medical patients. They were en route to San Diego to pick up a cancer patient who needed transportation to UCLA Medical Center for treatment when their airplane crashed. The charity and the Tomarken children have since established a "Tomarken Heroes" fund in memory of the couple.
