At one point in the '70s Jack Narz and Johnny Olson were working together on two different shows at the same time (NYSI and Concentration).  When Gene Wood announced WLoD from time to time in the '80s that put him and Bert together on two different shows (SP and WLoD).  Not counting daytime/syndicated versions of the same show, what other host/announcer duos worked together on different shows at the same time?

Tom Kennedy with Johnny Olson/Gene Wood, Body Language and SYN Price is Right.

While not technically a game show, Bob Barker and Johnny Olson could be seen/heard on That's My Line in addition to TPiR during the summers of '80 and '81.
It's a well-known fact that Lincoln loved mayonnaise!

This may be a stretch, but Bob Eubanks and Charlie O'Donnell - "New Newlywed Game" and (occasionally) "Card Sharks". (We *can* count fill-in announcers, right?)

/not sure if CS coincided with Bob Hilton's "Newlywed" announcing tenure; otherwise I'd add that
There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: Religion, politics, and the proper wrapping of microphone cables.

Tom Kennedy/Johnny O/Gene Wood.  I knew there was an obvious combo I was forgetting.  Thanks!  Were Trivia Trap and Newlywed Game on at the same time?  If so, that would be a Eubanks/Bob Hilton combo.

No Trivia Trap was gone in '85. Card Sharks came back in '86.
