"The Real Trivial Pursuit" (1985)

Stumbled across the listing for a one-off special while going down the Wikipedia/IMDb wormhole. Outside of the newspaper ad under Photos, seems like very little is known about it. Anyone else have any info?

It's a well-known fact that Lincoln loved mayonnaise!

Looks like it was mainly six celebrities - Ted Knight, Hal Linden and Heather Locklear vs. Tony Danza, Joyce DeWitt and Loretta Swit playing the game on TV.

It's been a while since I've seen it, but I recall it was produced by Jay Redack. I remember a lot of taped cutaways, with the celebs listed on a living room set, in formal wear, playing a bigger version of the game (but not super competitively). I recognized a number of the questions from circulating episodes of Battlestars.
