Game Show...transparency slides? (eBay)

[WarioBarker]

Looking for a copy of an Eye Guess home game, I stumbled upon this pic of Bill Cullen on the show's set. The seller also had some other game show slides for sale:

* Generic art piece of Art James' head (maybe he's with Coco?) for The Who, What or Where Game
* Generic art piece of Wink Martindale's head for Words and Music
* Generic art piece of Art Fleming's head for Jeopardy!
* Generic promo pic of Jim McKrell for Celebrity Sweepstakes

* Charley Weaver sitting in his square on The Hollywood Squares
* The Master (Peter Marshall) looking down at...something...on The Hollywood Squares (possibly same episode as previous)

* Geoff Edwards on Jackpot!

* Chuck Woolery on Wheel of Fortune

* Bobby Van on The Fun Factory

* Charles Nelson Reilly on...some NBC show (probably some big-ticket affair, judging by his outfit)

There's also one for Namedroppers.

Odd that this appears to be the only one of his game show auctions that's offering TWO slides, unless having Larry Blyden in that same set was a mistake of some sort.  I have a scan of the exact picture that's being offered from the Eye Guess set.

Most likely, that's not a game show at all but an NBC variety show, possibly Dean Martin.  CNR did a lot more than game shows, you know.

Hit the "other items" link and you'll find this guy has a load of interesting NBC stuff, including some neat caricatures from back in the radio days.  At least one of them is a game show too.

"If you think this is going to be about game shows, you're in the wrong place." -- CNR on The Life of Reilly.  He didn't talk much about Dean Martin, either.  He once said (not from the movie) that he was driving home from a Dean Martin rehearsal one night in a convertible, his script blew away, and after thinking about it for a second, said to himself "what's the point", and continued on.

I wonder if the slide could also be from when he hosted The Golddiggers?

Drawing from that, and what looks to be a Union Jack in the top right, it may be from The Golddiggers in London.

By the way, if you haven't gotten The Life of Reilly DVD yet, it's a force to be reckoned with.  A 2-disc set with not only the (jolly) theatrical film, but also a taping of the full 3-hr stage show.  I mean, just FYI.
