Yes, mods, I read the first rule for this section, but I do apologize that I'm unable to figure out whether or not this is the place for what I'm about to show. ^_^; Please let me know what the right place is. Anyway, I found a good quality video of the "COUNT RUSHMORE" clip from, of all places, Friends' Instagram account. When I first saw this clip from the 3000th episode back in 1998, it looked like the yellow $1000 space was used, although I had doubts much more recently. With this high-quality video, there's no doubt. It's the regular yellow $1000. http://instagr.am/p/7TP8cCIeCx

Wow, I thought it was the usual green $1000 wedge they used. I guess the TV screen just made it look greenish. No surprise, though. This clip is not from a real episode, in case anyone was wondering. It was shot specifically for Friends and the contestant is one of the show's writers. Besides, there are two major tipoffs that this is fabricated: nobody calls T that late in the round and the contestant does the cliched "Is there a..." call that you haven't heard on the show proper since the mid-80s.

They're not the only tipoffs, MarioGS. If you take a close look at the video thumbnail, there's no category chyron at the bottom of the TV screen. If I'm right, by this point on the show, there's always a category display whenever the puzzle board is seen by the home audience.
