Scoop: The Whammy Is Turning Up the Heat on the Season Finale of ABC's PRESS YOUR LUCK - Wednesday, August 7, 2019 Host Elizabeth Banks is keeping it cool while the WHAMMY turns up the heat as contestants try to win BIG BUCKS on the season finale of "Press Your Luck," airing WEDNESDAY, AUG. 7 (8:00-9:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.

Joining Elizabeth Banks are contestants Joe Marino (hometown: Grapevine, Texas), Peggy Shevlin (hometown: Palm Desert, California) and George Murphy (hometown: Sherman Oaks, California).
