Yikes. Just to be clear, was the mystery guest even in the studio?

My understanding is that they taped at least one pilot with a live Mystery Guest, Milton Berle.

Did George Fenneman ever host a show solo?

I think he did----didn't last long, though. Can't recall the name [anyone got an EOTVGS on them??]

I think both occurred in the same show, although I could be wrong... one live, one Memorex.

Didn't Fred Willard host the 'Match Game' pilot for FOX in '04, called 'Whats the Blank' or something like that?
