Episode 1151


 * NBC airdate: March 24, 1989 (Finale)
 * Celebrities: Betty White, Christopher Hewitt

Final Ca$hword
After an unsuccessful Ca$hword, as Bert listed some possible good clues, Betty was disgusted, tears up the check, and throws the Magic Toaster across the floor, thus destroying the prop, supposedly realizing that it was useless and they know well in advance there will be more Ca$hword later on and they know about a game play modification later in the show, if there was to be time left.

This was not the only time the Magic Toaster was destroyed. It also occurred on the August 25, 1986 episode.

$300 puzzle
Michelle wins the match, and plays Super Password with Christopher Hewitt for the minimum $5,000.

Super Password round
It was revealed that Michelle now has $7,200 in winnings, which implies that she previously won $5,000 in the Super Password round, plus $1,000 on the Ca$hword on Episode 1150, aired on Thursday, March 23, 1989.

Start of new match

 * New challenger is Heather.
 * Because of being the finale,,the rules were modified that only one puzzle was played, and the winner of that puzzle gets to play the final Super Password round for for $10,000.

$100 puzzle
100Bert mentioned that if there is not enough time to play a full round, a whistle will be heard, and the player with the highest score plays the final Super Password round for $10,000.

Heather guesses Partridge in a Pear Tree, which is obviously not correct.

Heather guesses Car, which is not correct.

Heather guesses Godzilla, which is not correct.

Heather once again attempts to solve the puzzle. She guesses Panda.

Heather wins the round and $100...

And now, the whistle blows.

Heather plays the final Super Password round. Michelle leaves with $7,200.

Final Super Password round
Final jackpot is $10,000. Letters in play are A through J.

It could be inferred that the final four passwords might be a case of the writers venting their anger, realizing that the end is near and are soon going to be laid off from their jobs.

Final closing remarks
Bert gave an emotional speech, recognizing the crew who made the show possible, and choked tears when he recognized Gene Wood, the announcer, who was given a rare event of face time. Betty White made a reference to the man who started the Password franchise, Allen Ludden, without giving his name. As a long credit roll was shown, a lot of the crew joined on stage for the final sendoff. The "airplane" was heard for its ultimate takeoff as the show's logo and copyright date were shown for the last time before fading to black. Replacing Super Password the following Monday, is the short-lived soap opera Generations.
