Whew! is an American television game show that aired on CBS from April 23, 1979, until May 30, 1980. It was hosted by Tom Kennedy and announced by Rod Roddy. Contestants competed to correct "bloopers", factual statements in which one word has been changed, on a game board to win cash.
The game was created by Jay Wolpert. Production was initially credited to the Bud Austin Company, then later changed to Jay Wolpert Productions in association with Burt Sugarman Inc. The animated opening sequence, featuring a woman named Bridget evading an array of villains, was produced by Hanna-Barbera. In September 2021, TV network Buzzr began reruns of Whew!
