Those like me who grew up on game shows in the 70s and 80s remember Peter as the host of the hit CBS game show "Press Your Luck" which made the expression, "Big Bucks, No Whammies!" a catch phrase.
Ironically, just the other day, I had obtained a set of episodes of the short-lived 1979 NBC series "Cliff Hangers" and was surprised to see Peter in a bit part in one of the "Secret Empire" sequences.
RIP, Peter and thanks for the wonderful memories you gave game show junkies like me.
