Hosts Who Did More Than One Show On The Same Network

[Jimmy Owen]

AB could be considered a quasi-game show with the "Rate-A-Record" segment, no?

No. Very, very, very no. In fact I can't think of the first reason anyone would draw such a conclusion. Just because the two kids get a couple of crates of Clearasil for helping out?

Fee plugs on art cards=game show

Of course. How could I have been so silly.

Of course. How could I have been so silly.

Let's see,

Bill Cullen did NBC's Blockbusters and Hot Potato.
Jim Perry did NBC's Card Sharks and Sale Of The Century.
Peter Tomarken did CBS's Press Your Luck and Bargain Hunters.
Bob Goen did CBS's Blackout and Wheel Of Fortune.


Am I right about those?

Almost.  Bargain Hunters was on ABC.

However, the "Soul Train Scramble Board" would qualify, no?

Can we at least pretend to make the effort to narrow our scope here, please?

I want to take a moment to praise Brandon for making an effort (in vain, it looks like, but an effort) to turn an irritating laundry-list thread into something useful.

Good try, sir.

Thanks...it was worth a shot. ;-) Although I didn't find it irritating, but I just knew this thread could go on awhile if it's just kept to two shows...

How about Dennis James on NBC?

Your First Impression

Name That Tune (1974-75 daytime). NBC was also the "network of record" for his version of The Price is Right.

Not sure if PDQ would count because it aired on the NBC O&Os but was syndicated in all other markets.

About as much as It's Your Bet would count toward Tom Kennedy's NBC credits.

[H]ow many hosts have done more than one show on the same network...at the same time?

Bud Collyer's gigs Beat The Clock and To Tell The Truth ran concurrently for a couple of years on CBS. (1956-58)

He did it again on ABC with Beat The Clock and Number Please (January-March 1961).

[Mr. Brown]

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.

Hell, Drew Carey twice -- Price Is Right & Power of 10 on CBS.

[TLEberle]

Regis, twenty-three years apart, ABC. (Record?)

What a strange thread.

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.

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

Clark, at one point, had one show on each of the (then three) networks - Pyramid on CBS, Bloopers and Practical Jokes on NBC, and American Bandstand on ABC.

Going back to game show hosts, here's a few examples:

Tom Kennedy (I'm excluding stuff like A Date With the Angels and About Faces)
ABC -- Doctor I.Q., Split Second, You Don't Say, Break the Bank
CBS -- Whew!, Body Language
NBC -- The Big Game, You Don't Say, 50 Grand Slam, Name That Tune, To Say the Least, Password Plus, Body Language

Alex Trebek
ABC -- Super Jeopardy!
CBS -- Double Dare
NBC -- The Wizard of Odds, High Rollers, Battlestars, Classic Concentration, To Tell the Truth

Bill Cullen (again, host only)
ABC -- The Price Is Right, Blankety Blanks
CBS -- Give and Take, Place the Face, Name That Tune, I've Got a Secret, Pass the Buck, Child's Play
NBC -- Winner Take All, Bank on the Stars, Down You Go, The Price Is Right, Three on a Match, Winning Streak, Chain Reaction, Blockbusters, Hot Potato

You get the idea.

Said of Bob Eubanks:

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

As well as The Newlywed Game & Trivia Trap for ABC.

Add Rhyme and Reason to the ABC list.

However, the "Soul Train Scramble Board" would qualify, no?  

At least there's a freakin' ARGUMENT for the Scramble Board.

[Dbacksfan12]

NBC was also the "network of record" for his version of The Price is Right.

Which means precisely nothing in the context of this conversation.

As for Tomarken, is he the host with the fewest series that covered all four bases? (ABC/CBS/NBC/SYN)[quote name='Jimmy Owen']Fee plugs on art cards=game show[/quote]Stop being provocative.

Oh for God's sake, Mark. Even *I* got that Jimmy was being sarcastic that time.

Monty Hall did Video Village and All New Beat the Clock on CBS.

Jack Narz did Video Village and Now You See It on CBS.

Jack Barry did Tic Tac Dough, Twenty One and for a brief time, Concentration, on NBC.

Gene Rayburn did Dough Re Mi and The Match Game on NBC (and Monitor, but we're confining it to game shows).

We're all going to turn into a bunch of Zachs if this thread goes on much longer.
