Wink Martindale Dead at 91
Source: TMZ
Wink Martindale is high rolling with God now ... the iconic TV game show host died Tuesday following a cancer battle.
Wink's publicists say the host of "High Rollers," "Tic-Tac-Dough" and "Gambit" passed away in the SoCal desert city of Rancho Mirage, and was surrounded by family ... including his wife Sandra Martindale.
He'd been battling lymphoma for about a year, and was doing well, according to his rep Brian Mayes ... but about 2 weeks ago, Wink took a turn for the worst, and was in a hospital getting treatment when he died.

I always laugh at all those show hosts and comedians of that era and earlier with wild "stage names" like Wink's - e.g., "Soupy Sales" and "Red Buttons", etc.
