===''Whammy! The All-New Press Your Luck''=== {{Main|Whammy! The All-New Press Your Luck}} On April 15, 2002, Game Show Network debuted a revival titled ''Whammy! The All-New Press Your Luck'' (sometimes abbreviated to just ''Whammy!''), with [[Todd Newton]] as host and [[Gary Kroeger]] as announcer, although Tomarken hosted a [[pilot episode]].<ref name="floss">{{cite web | url=http://mentalfloss.com/article/76656/11-whammy-free-facts-about-press-your-luck | title=11 Whammy-Free Facts About ''Press Your Luck'' | work= [[Mental Floss]] | last=Pirnia | first=Garin | date=September 26, 2016 | access-date=March 16, 2017}}</ref> This incarnation of the show featured similar gameplay to the original, and was described by Game Show Network executives as being a modern incarnation of the show. One feature unique to this revival was the addition of a "Double Whammy", which would not only remove all cash and prizes accumulated by the contestant, but also subject the contestant to a physical stunt such as having objects drop from the ceiling.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/445491844 | title=Game Show Network Launches "Whammy! -- the All New Press Your Luck"; New Version of Classic Game Show Brings Back "Big Bucks, No Whammys" for April 15 Premiere | publisher=Business Wire | date=March 22, 2002 | accessdate=February 1, 2023| id={{ProQuest|445491844}} }}</ref> ''Whammy!'' aired in first-run from April 2002 to December 2003.<ref name="floss"/>
