Charlie Tuna filled in for Jay Stewart. The box for displaying the current amount in the pot after correctly spelling was revamped. For the parting gifts, there were now transition spots and horizontal wipes from right to left that moved like a Swiveling Cube. These effects would remain in place until the end of 1987. Chuck repeated the letters for the NBC Sweepstakes that were revealed last week, and a Seniors Week was plugged.
