Regular Game Segments

Some shows, while not being game shows themselves feature games as a semi-regular or regular part of the show.  Two I thought of were the "Grand Prize Game" from Bozo and "Know your cuts of Meat" from David Letterman.  Can anyone think of some others?

The unscramble the letters to form a person's name contest on Soul Train.
I don't know if they even do that anymore.
The last time I watched, Sid McCoy was still introducing Don Cornelius as the host.

They don't even do new episodes of Soul Train anymore - it's been classic reruns for the past couple years.  A sale to a new production company might change that, though.

It's in Spanish, but how about Sabado Gigante.  Heh, and it's lasted longer than Ezekiel Barker's Bargain Bar.

Tony Danza had the Plinko clone "Extravadanza."  Most local kid shows of the '60's had them as well as a lot of local hosted movie presentations.  Surprised that Matt O. didn't mention "Matinee in New York." :)

Do we count any of the 47 incarnations of Dialing for Dollars?

"Know your cuts of Meat" from David Letterman.

"Know Your Current Events".

Kilborn had his 5 Questions on both the "Daily Show" and "Late Late Show".

And need we mention "Jaywalking"?

The show "Wheel of Fortune" apparently has some game involving letters on a wall of monitors that they play in between promotional announcements.

I thought of that, but considering that I don't believe anyone has ever lost, would that really count?

Letterman's done quite a few over the years--his take on BTC was kinda funny (albeit a one-note joke).  And do we dare mention "Will It Float?"

/And Dave pilfered "Stump The Band" as well.
