Dennis Haskins didn't play on PYL in 1983-1985. I wonder where was it stated that Phil Hartman was involved with Scrabble?
Heather Graham was on Scrabble at some point between 1986 and 1988.

On Episode 181 of the MGHSH (air date Friday July 13, 1984), the losing contestant on the Match Game was introduced as "William Van Orden" (the name tag said "Van"), and he described himself as a sculptor, and indicated that he had worked on the Mryna Loy Statue in Venice, CA. His efforts to continually repair the statue from damage by vandals (which date back to 1978) were detailed in a March 6, 1989 LA Times article. www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-03-06-me-181-story.htmlHe passed away on March 18, 1990, and the LA Times published an obituary on April 4, 1990. www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-04-04-me-487-story.html
(For me, I can access the 1989 article without issue, but the 1990 obituary is behind a paywall. YMMV).
The current Mryna Loy statue at Venice High School was erected in 2010. The VHS alumni site has a page dedicated to accepting donations to maintain it. Van Orden is mentioned there, and it indicates that the statue that he repaired remained in place "until its deterioration required removal in 2000".

Episode 39 of MG90 featured Jill Getto, a contestant who introduced herself as a model. It appears to be the actress Jill Getto Lee, who is famous enough for an IMDB page; www.imdb.com/name/nm0315262/biobut not famous enough to have a wikipedia page.
Her husband, Andrew Lee, whom she married on September 1, 1991 (almost exactly a year after her MG90 episode aired), also has an IMDB page, with extensive technical credits. His most noteworthy achievements are his numerous credits directing Soap Operas, but he also has a Stage Manager credit for a 1982 episode of Three's Company "Up in the Air", in which one of Jill's MG90 panelists, Richard Kline, appeared.

On MG90, future Inside Edition Reporter Stacey Gualandi appeared on the final two episodes (#'s 241 & 242). She won $5,950 on episode 241 before losing on episode 242. staceygualandi.com/This excerpt on her home page mentions her MG90 appearance; (She actually took some creative license in describing her experience. The actual question was "Dr. Schulman said,'Tough Tony is the toughest patient I've ever had. He went jogging right after I gave him a <blank>.'". And technically, she won the $$ before answering 'prosthesis'; that question was on episode 242, which she lost. But those are minor nit-picks after all these years.)
