A term used
in the early 2000s towards anyone who was overly obsessed with the classic game show Press Your Luck,
the Whammy, and the show's host Peter Tomarken. It was applied to anyone who constantly begged Game Show Netwotk to air the show or claimed that Peter was
the only one who could host a game show. Tomarkenism is believed to have been cured when GSN finally started airing the series in September 2001.
