A staple guest of many American game shows such as Password, Match Game, Hollywood Squares and The $25,000 Pyramid, White was dubbed the 'First Lady of Game Shows' and became the first woman to receive an Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host in 1983 for the show Just Men!

Peter and Ray continue running the day to day operations of the Ghostbusters company with Oscar Barrett as the lead Ghostbuster in the field. Egon has passed away, but his daughter has taken over as the lead scientist on the team. Winston left the Ghostbusters and followed his dream of politics. He is now Mayor of Miami.
