Not sure

Probably a good idea to avoid running that Get Rich Quick! pilot.

Tuesday, huh?  Would this be running up against an 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter tribute?

It's Tuesday *morning,* where the mini-marathon of \"Feud\" normally airs.

How many of the \"Whoopi\" H2's did John appear on? It seems that he was on the 2002-03 season of H2 more than that version.

 Or an episode of the 1977 week of Tattletales he did with his wife at the time(which has yet to air on GSN)

 I remember that he was on a couple of times during the 01-02 season, right after they went to the \"Double or Nothing\" bonus round.

Brandon B., was he on at all during the College Tourney?

 Per Steve-the-B, they did.  It's the grand finale at 11:30.

Was this All Star Feud from the '70s? I seem to remember them running one like that on the Friday night vertivision blocks last fall.

That would be it.

That would be it.

As a matter of fact, the episode in question was the VERY FIRST 'All-Star FF' they did on May 8, 1978.

John Ritter will be missed!

Cordially,
Tammy Warner--the 'Sally Ann Howes of the Big Board!'

With Dawson's opening remark, \"I'm happy to say that this is one special where you will *not* hear 'You Light Up My Life.'\"

Those of us who lived through that period of time know where he's coming from.

Yes, that song was No. 1 on the Hot 100  for 10 weeks leading up to Christmas 1977.  At that time it tied the record for longest run at No. 1 - it has since been broken.

During the first couple of \"Feud\" specials they had just the stars of ABC shows of the time.  I guess they ran out pretty quickly, because soon stars of CBS and NBC shows started appearing.
