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.

If you're not including game shows, then Michael Landon did Bonanza and Little House for NBC. Can we at least pretend to make the effort to narrow our scope here, please?

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

Trebek gets yet another point for his NBC history...BATTLESTARS!!

And if ya wanna get nit-picky and consider original shows and their later revivals to be two different shows, he could receive another two NBC points for the "return" of HIGH ROLLERS in 1978 as well as THE NEW BATTLESTARS.

But again, those only count if we're being nit-picky...

In any case, that Trebek dude is one over-achieving Canadianesque kinda guy...

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.

(I can think of at least four on NBC for Cullen (if subbing on P+ counts) just within the first half of the 1980s. (And three of those WERE in 1980!) And at least four more between 1956 and 1974.)

If subbing counts, then Geoff Edwards would qualify as well for NBC (JACKPOT!, SHOOT FOR THE STARS and subbing on CR).

TK did a lot of shows at NBC--in addition to the three Brandon mentioned, he also did 50 GRAND SLAM, TO SAY THE LEAST, NAME THAT TUNE and a slough of others.

My question was linking the *host* to something else they might have hosted on the network that wasn't a game (like Dick's Pyramid/Bandstand combo).

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

Was 50:50 cancelled before The Million Drop came over?

Jimmy Owen · « **Reply #22 on:** April 18, 2011, 03:28:19 PM »

Ed McMahon-Missing Links, Snap Judgment, Concentration-NBC
Bill Leyden-four on NBC-It Could Be You, Your First Impression, Call My Bluff and You're Putting Me On.
Art James-Say When, Fractured Phrases, WW or W, Blank Check, Mag. Marble Mach. (5 on NBC!)

That might be the better question, how 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) Is that a good example?

Wink hosted Gambit and Tic Tac Dough on CBS.
Jack Narz did four shows on CBS: Dotto, Top Dollar, Video Village, and Now You See It.

Cordially,
Tammy

Wink also did three on NBC, What's this Song, Words and Music and LVG.

Plus Las Vegas Gambit.

I believe that's what LVG stands for...

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

TimK2003 · « **Reply #27 on:** April 18, 2011, 05:57:42 PM »

Let us not forget Ricki Lake for the "shows" during Game Show Marathon.

On second thought...

Brian44 · « **Reply #28 on:** April 18, 2011, 06:01:41 PM »

How about Dennis James on NBC?

People Will Talk
Haggis Baggis
Your First Impression

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

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?
