$100,000 Pyramid/Tic Tac Dough combo

I saw where there was a pilot for a $100,000/Tic Tac Dough combo taped at TV City in 2000 per their website.  Anyone care to elaborate on that?

"The $100,000 Pyramid" became Donnymid, and at one point NBC wanted to do a million dollar version for primetime. They were supposed to premiere in summer/fall '01, but got pushed back a year, and only aired in syndication.

I remember seeing the TTD pilot listing, but don't know anything about it, and don't remember seeing anything during the ATGS era.
"They're both Norman Jewison movies, Troy, but we did think of one Jew more famous than Tevye."

Now celebrating his 22nd season on GSF!

I remember seeing something about this years ago, maybe on this site, maybe elsewhere, but from what I remember it was never intended to be a combo show like Match Game/Hollywood Squares was.

I know NBC around that time, was toying around with bringing back Tic Tac Dough. That could have been the pilot shoot for that attempt.
