* April 28-29, 1977: The final two episodes contained rather racy clues for "pipe" (the smoking variety) and "boomerang" most especially, such as "In the film ''Walkabout'', the lead male straps one against his thigh with his loincloth" and "[[ADateWithRosiePalms To use one properly, grip it firmly with three fingers at the curve near the tip.]]" These clues only manage to sound funnier when one hears and sees Alex Trebek [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJnywZuT0kI read them so seriously.]]
