[quote name=\'Don Howard\' post=\'219478\' date=\'Jul 4 2009, 02:53 PM\']And I'VE noticed that when an NBC game debuted (Chuck Woolery on Scrabble, Tom Kennedy on Wordplay and Jim Perry on $ale of the Century, the emcee during their greeting on the debut program would mention how "great it is to be back at NBC". No host seemed to give a flying fickle if they were back at it on CBS or ABC. Was hosting shows on NBC that special? Opine.[/quote]
It'd be hard for Woolery or Perry to say "it's great to be back on" a different network, since I don't believe they ever hosted game shows on a different network (syndie doesn't count--not that LOVE CONNECTION ever was a game show anyway).
I forget--had Kennedy hosted anything for CBS prior to BODY LANGUAGE? I know he did SPLIT SECOND for ABC, but most of his shows if I'm not mistaken were at NBC (notably YOU DON'T SAY, NTT, P+ and the aforementioned WORDPLAY).
