Master Key question

When was Master Key last played? Has it been retired? Was the game won last time it had been played?

Master Key’s still in the rotation.

I can't be the only one who's tired of people wanting to know if a game has been retired every time it goes a while without being played.

To my knowledge, the last time Master Key was played was June 11. It was a partial win, as only the cheapest prize was won.

I have no reason to believe Master Key would be retired.

Live for the present.  Embrace the future.  Our favorite game show is still producing excellent, high quality, exciting, hour-long* shows every weekday throughout its traditional season window.  It’s as good as it’s been in a long, long time.  If the 1980s were the ‘good ole days’ for the Barker era, so is RIGHT NOW for the Carey era.  Don’t worry about what the future holds.  It will play out in due time.  Enjoy what we have right in front of us in the meantime!

First, I have to admit to curiosity: why do you think Master Key has been retired?

Second, just so you know, you can see what games have been played when at the excellent TPiR stats website:

http://tpirstats.com/

As you can see there, it was played approximately its usual number of times in season 47 so there's no reason to believe it's retired. It's currently on a two game losing streak; the last time it was won was on April 15 when an extremely savvy contestant who is so good looking he makes Brad Pitt jealous got both the master key and the car key. That was the first time that happened in almost 10 years.  :-D :-D #seeTheSwirlingStarAndTheDateAndTheAvatarInMyProfile #shamelessSelfPromotion

LiteBulb, I think by now we know who this "Mystery Guest" is.  ;)
