Wow. There's a million-dollar question for ya. The logical guess would be something that Merv Griffin created, but to the best of my knowledge, he only created Wheel, Jeopardy and Crosswords. Got me.

Did Bill Armstrong create anything? I'm leaning toward the 70s "Liar's Club".

The answer.

"Inspiration, Please!" was on the air for (I wanna say) a year or two on EWTN (then known as The Odyssey Channel). The show was created and announced by Donald Epstein.

It was popular enough to warrant the release of a quiz book with questions based on the show.

I believe our own Randy West was the announcer for these.

Gee, you gave people about four hours to answer.  IMO, if you're going to submit these little trivia puzzles, you should at least give people time to respond.

Can I submit an alternate answer?  Who created "I Can't Believe You Said That?"

Marc Summers produced it for Stone-Stanley while annoucing it.  Not such a reach to assume he was the creator as well?

Bzzz.  Odyssey is now the Hallmark Channel.   I do believe EWTN has been known as EWTN since its 1981 inception (at least their website doesn't give any indication that they ever had another name).

Yeah, DoorNumberFour is confusing EWTN with VISN.  The Vision Interfaith Satellite Network merged with the American Christian Television System to form VISN-ACTS, which later became the Faith & Values Channel, then Odyssey, then (after the buyout by Henson and Hallmark) the Hallmark Channel.
