Nice gallery, but.... I can't believe that a station she used to work for can't even spell Meredith Vieira's name!

/Or maybe I can?

Dead guys got off easy. They relied way too heavily on recent pics of hosts who are living and haven't worked in a couple decades.
Protecting idiots from themselves just leads to more idiots.

It seems like Jack Clark hosted a lot more shows than what's listed.

Would it have been unfair for me to expect them to list his substitute stints on Cullen's Price and Password?

What show is that he's hosting in this picture?

That's "The $10,000 Sweep", one of the unsold Bob Stewart pilots GSN aired a few years back on Halloween night.

By the way, I could think of at least 4 more game shows Dennis James has hosted, other than what they mention.

No idea why, nothing to back it up, just a guess. Has GSN done a Game of the Week for anything Jack hosted?

I don't think they have; it doesn't seem like he's hosted a lot of shows in their library, other than Sweep.

I'm pretty sure, however, that GSN has aired this pilot more than once; it's 30 minutes long without commercials, and The Riddlers with David Letterman runs in about 18 minutes, so they've been aired back-to-back at least once.

Thanks to both for the answer.

And yeah, GSN aired an unsold pilots marathon starring Elvira, c. Halloween 2000. They also showed "Twisters", another Stewart pilot from 1982 or '83. I think they called it "Raise the Dead" or something, hence Halloween and Elvira.

-Get Rich Quick! (Steve Edwards)
-Second Guessers (Jack Carter)
-The $10,000 Sweep (Jack Clark)
-Dollar A Second (Bob EUbanks)
-Twisters (Jim Perry)
-Says Who? (Geoff Edwards)
-The Riddlers (David Letterman)

I can confirm with absolute certainty that that is The $10,000 Sweep.
