GSN Opening the Vaults?

While the entertainment world continues to mourn the passing of Merv Griffin, GSN issued a press release regarding their planned tribute to the legend. The release mentions some items that would be of particular interest to Wheel of Fortune fans, including "an early Woolery" appearance as well as Vanna's debut.

Vanna's debut was shown in clips in several later syndicated Wheel shows, so that may or may not mean the full NBC episode from December, 1982. But the later retrospectives on the show rarely if ever showed clips featuring Chuck Woolery, so this could be an actual episode featuring Chuck. I know that GSN has at least two in their vaults. So while losing Merv still stings in the minds of fans, GSN may have found a great way to remember the legend.
