>> Hmm...did that Steve Edwards guy ever do anything besides...uh...whatever that one unsold pilot was? I seem to remember that back when GSN did that marathon, no one had the slightest clue who he was.
"Get Rich Quick" was the pilot they showed. I remember reading on Randy Amasia's site long ago that he did a pilot for Jay Wolpert.....forgot what it was, though.

"Pandemonium." And it was reported here he hosted a pilot for a syndicated version of "Scrabble" around when it went off on NBC.

Wrongo! Mike had the original "Dream House" on ABC long before the "Jackpot" gig. My EOTVGS has a picture of him behind his DH podium welcoming a special guest to the studio, a gentleman named Monty Hall (wearing a sweatshirt with "MONTY" on the front of it in those iron-on letters) who was about to debut a new show on ABC, a little game about trading. It was, um, moderately successful. ;)

 Mike hosted at least two others. The 1960s Dream House and the first season of The $128,000 Question.
By the way, Don, calling Blake Emmons a clown is an insult to all clowns.

 Damn, didn't know it was the same Mike Darrow.  That game you mentioned?  You must be talking about "Its Anybody's Guess". :)

Actually he's hosted more then one game show, if you count the celebrity Mole Hawaii as a game show.

Call me Horanic ("YOU'RE HORANIC!"), but that little game wasn't new--it was just new to ABC and moving over from NBC.

Carry on.

 I had no idea. Perhaps I would do well to actually READ the text accompanyting the pictures in the EOTVGS. ;)

Would you consider "Supermarket Sweep" and "The Honeymoon Race" the same show?  If so, add Bill Malone to the list of one show hosts.  Also, David Ruprecht of "Supermarket Sweep."

Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.
