(Yes, they still shoot confetti.)
In the final segment, Pat asks Ilene how long she's been trying to get on the show. To be honest, it's at least 30 years. Funny enough, the first thing she said when the confetti came down is "Where's the broom? I wanna clean up?" Pat reaches over to give her the broom, and she starts working. "Don't just stand there! Come on!"

Sinclair Wu: From San Francisco, CA; in education technology, and co-founded a startup called "RightOn Education", and sneaks in a plug for the company; he can play the piano with his eyes closed, from composers including Chopin and Lewis Capaldi (though piano is sometimes easier with his eyes open); he also lived in Australia and worked for about a year, also learning some fun expressions
In response to Sinclair playing piano with his eyes closed, Pat says "Here's a hint today - don't play the game today with your eyes closed."
Also, Sinclair appeared on "The $100K Pyramid" from 6/18/17.
