Add to the list Allan Sherman, substitute host in the early days of "Tonight".

He was the producer of a handful of game shows (I've Got A Secret, Masquerade Party, What's Gong On and Your Surprise Package) and was the father of Bobby Sherman, who followed in his footsteps for Goodson-Todman.

And as far as NBC Studio 1, didn't Maury's version of Twenty One also originate from there?

Yep. Some of the later episodes [without the orchestra] occasionally showed the notoriously steep seating of Studio 1 behind the regular audience.
There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: Religion, politics, and the proper wrapping of microphone cables.
