I know this may be old news, but I thought I'd bring it up here in case nobody found out about it.
Wink Martindale mentioned on Facebook that John Harlan, who filled in for Rod Roddy at the mic on Press Your Luck supposedly taped the weekend of August 25 and 26, 1984, passed away on February 27, 2017. He was 91.
He also served as the regular announcer on American Gladiators, and Wipeout - the latter being another show that Peter Tomarken hosted. He also served as the announcer on non-game shows such as General Hospital and the 1980s music variety show Solid Gold.
GSN's current lease of Press Your Luck does include the 11 episodes that John Harlan filled in for Rod Roddy.
The death of John Harlan means all of the cast members of Press Your Luck are no longer with us. Another voice silenced forever..
R.I.P. Mr. Harlan,and thanks for providing a great voice in the game show world.
