That's page 36 of the magazine, in case anyone's curious.  If you do as I did and went to page 36 of the PDF, you'll instead find a full-page ad for Tia Carrere's Relic Hunter.

Or that it's a combined half page.

So somebody was looking at O'Hurley to be a host before Truth? Wonder what the show would've been about.

And isn't it a little presumptous of both Studios USA and Paramount to have tried to continue selling a sliding Sally and a dead in the water Hard Copy, which IIRC didn't last beyond the 98-99 season despite the clearances they were touting?

I haven't hunted for the article yet, but if it's the show I'm thinking of ("Who Knows?" IIRC), it was a bluffing game along the lines of "Wordplay".

"Wordplay".
If there was ever a format that reminded me of a box of Kleenex that'd be the one.

Close. Who Knew? was the title and Paramount was on board to produce/distribute.

Paramount really didn't have a good track record with game shows, did it? Outside of the original You Don't Say (if you count Desilu's tenure, since Paramount Television was spawned from that) th
e other series it was responsible for didn't last more than a year, right?

One season.

The only other series I can think of being theirs were Anything for Money (one season), the Bobby Van-hosted Make Me Laugh (one season), and The New Price is Right (sixteen weeks).

If anything mentioned in this thread makes me think of a box of Kleenex, it's Tia Carrere.

They mentioned about the failed LMAD pilot with Gordon Elliott as well as a game show produced by Madonna.

 To think that ten years later, CBS would air a hour-long daily version of LMAD...

  I used to look forward to each year's NATPE convention (remember the 60 Minutes segment in 1984?) to see what new game shows were being offered.
