Wordplay and Bert Convy
« on: November 20, 2013, 11:30:29 PM »

Recently GSN ran Tom Kennedy\'s week on Super Password, where he was promoting Wordplay. This got me wondering: 1) Did Bert Convy ever appear on Wordplay? 2) Was Wordplay ever on GSN\'s schedule?

From what I can tell, Tom's week was January 5-9, 1987. To answer your questions:

1) Convy did at least one week of Wordplay: February 16-20, 1987, with Abby Dalton and Bill Rafferty.
2) GSN has never shown Wordplay. I'm not sure who owns the rights.

1) I swear I might\'ve seen a screengrab or YouTube video of Bert on the show.......not 100% sure.


2) \"Wordplay\" has never been on GSN.

There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: Religion, politics, and the proper wrapping of microphone cables.

Yes, Convy did a week with Bill Rafferty and Abby Dalton. There\'s an episode or two from that week circulating.

Thanks! I did a search for an episode guide, but didn\'t find one.
