LOS ANGELES (AP) — Wink Martindale, the genial host of such hit game shows as “Gambit” and “Tic-Tac-Dough” who also did one of the first recorded television interviews with a young Elvis Presley, has died. He was 91.
Martindale died Tuesday at Eisenhower Health in Rancho Mirage, California, according to his publicist Brian Mayes. Martindale had been battling lymphoma for a year.
“He was doing pretty well up until a couple weeks ago,” Mayes said by phone from Nashville.
RIP Wink Martindale

RIP Wink Martindale
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
