Hosts Who Did More Than One Show On The Same Network
« on: April 17, 2011, 08:31:02 PM »
Who are some game show hosts that hosted more than one show on the same network?

I know that Dick Clark did the $25,000.00 Pyramid and Winning Lines for CBS.

If that's the only one you can come up with, you're probably not on the right board.  There are undoubtedly dozens of examples.  Bill Cullen, just to pick one, did more than one show on all three networks.  Just about any major host with multiple credits will have done at least two for the same network.

Heck--Trebek did two NBC shows at the same time (CLASSIC CONCENTRATION and TTTT91).

That might be the better question, how many hosts have done more than one show on the same network... at the same time?

What about Drew Carey?  He hosted The Power of 10 as well as TPIR on CBS.

Chuck Woolery hosted both "Wheel" and "Scrabble" on NBC
Jim Perry hosted both "Card Sharks" and "Sale of the Century" on NBC
Drew Carey hosted both "Power of Ten" and of course "TPIR" on CBS

I think it could be a bit more challenging to find who did 3 or more shows for the same network. Tom Kennedy has done that for two networks.

ABC-Split Second, You Don't Say, and Break the Bank, the latter two just months apart
NBC-You Don't Say, Password + and Wordplay


Trebek did at least 4 for NBC...the two Doug mentioned for NBC, plus High Rollers and Wizard of Odds.

In Italy hosts with two shows are not rare, but only Mike Bongiorno hosted three:  Concentration, Wheel of Fortune and TeleMike (Jeopardy!) on Canale5 in 1990

Diamond Head was actually syndicated, but he did do All-Star Secrets, Dream House, and Family Secrets, all for NBC.

Are we looking for only game shows?  If not, an even better example for Mr. Clark is ABC Pyramid and Bandstand.

And if you're not including game shows, Drew Carey can be on the list twice, for his own show and "Drew's Line" on ABC.
