In the early days of current series run, I'd seen some "behind the scenes" video of contestant tryouts, where the mock games featured the hopeful contestants trying to be first to ring a bell, after seeing the acting "host," hold up a card like the ones shown.

The third one is still active.

An interesting find nonetheless.

In the description, second paragraph, it says that J! shared the Studio 3 space with The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.  Actually, at least as of 1985, Carson was taped in Studio 1, which is next door to 3 (Studios 2 and 4 are elsewhere in the building, and were mostly used for local programming IIRC).  The first few episodes of Jay Leno were taped in 1 as well, but that did switch over to Studio 3.
