About $35K in 2000. The average annual Russian salary at that time was about $1000.
So pretty good for that area.
" In 2000 the average monthly wage in Russia was 2,223 roubles (79 US dollars). "
Obviously, Russia is a big place, there is great income disparity, etc.
If you got too much, it seemed like the Wheel had a tendency to land on Bankrupt.
Except, of course, on the Final Spin. Never a Bankrupt or Lose A Turn.
(Obviously, those spins are mysteriously removed from the tape that’s shown to the national audience.)
I somewhat agree. He is much more likely to high five and “My man!” a statement by a black guy.
We’re about halfway through Chapter 4 of Lupin on Netflix.
It’s more of the same, with a slightly more technological bent this season, but if you liked the previous seasons, you’ll probably like this one.
I am positive I saw Pat Sajak land on “Bankrupt” and/or “Lose a Turn” on the final spin on more than one occasion, and he just said something like, “Let’s try that again!” as he spun again.
Maybe not.

Huh. So I’m either imagining things or it happened in that parallel universe with the alternate ending to Big. 
Although according to this exchange, it was typically left in the broadcast before the year 2000 (which is about when I watched it last):
Yeah, I commented on my comment that it wasn’t always edited out.
Did you intend that for a different thread?
