Rayburn & Lewis: a possible record
« Reply #15 on: October 07, 2008, 07:29:56 PM »
If Tom Kennedy were to appear on Regis's Password in 2009 or 2010 he'd match or break the record!  (not going to happen of course but it's the only scenario I can think of that theoretically could happen in regards to this record).

I think this is more in regards to the same two people appearing on one another's shows (hence the Robert Q.-Rayburn reference and the White-Rayburn record holder).

I think in the case of Tom Kennedy it would probably be more like a Kitty Carlisle scenario, appearing on versions of series decades apart (just on the surface, of course).

I see where Eric was going, though.  Remember, Kennedy hosted P+ from October 1980-March 1982, and Regis appeared twice in that timeframe.  So it would fit if TK were to appear on Regis' version.

ETA:  Not that Eric needs me to speak for him. :)

Regis was on Password Plus when Tom was host which was why it would theoretically be possible for the record to be broken if Tom appeared on the current Password next year.

Edit-(made my post just at the exact same time!)

Interestingly, I had the very same though about the even-more-unlikely possibility of Tom Kennedy turning up on Jeopardy.  Alex Trebek was a celebrity player on Tom's To Say The Least.

Cool thread. Now let's go to the other end of the spectrum. Can anyone find the shortest gap between hosts appearing on each other's shows? (Not counting syndicated shows, whose airdates were subject to change.) I've already found two examples of hosts appearing on each other's shows within a week of each other and one example of hosts who appeared on each other's shows in the same week.

Guesses?

The fact that he rules out syndicated shows knocks out a LOT of stuff, including Cullen's 25KP.

Perhaps Peter Marshall on the NBC game show hosts episode of "Jeopardy!", then Art Fleming appearing on "Hollywood Squares"? Don't know the time frames of those.

My other guess is Convy appearing on "Match Game '74", then Rayburn going on "Tattletales"?

Wait a minute--didn't Ludden do a walk-on on 50 GRAND SLAM and Kennedy a walk-on on STUMPERS during the premeire week (if not the premiere day)?

Yes, a few minutes apart (unless you lived in my market where there was an hour between Stumpers and 50.  They had news at noon and delayed NBC's noon show to 1pm.)

Does Match Game/Hollywood Squares count? :)

To just go back to the original premise, if Betty White were to ever do WOF in 2011 that would match the record since Pat Sajak was on for a week of "Just Men" in 83 as well too.

A few hints are in order, I believe:

1. I was referring to hosts appearing on each other's shows as players, not just cameos, which rules out the "Stumpers"/"50 Grand Slam" scenario (though that was a clever guess).

2. One instance of hosts appearing on each other's shows in back-to-back weeks happened in 1973 (actually, it happened twice that year, with the same hosts), and the other happened in 1980. The instance of the two hosts appearing on each other's shows in the same week happened in 1975.

3. None of the three shows mentioned above are "Pyramid."

4. There are six different hosts involved in the scenarios mentioned in item 2 -- no overlap.
