I could think of a few off the top of my head. One is Peter Tomarken. He hosted the '13-week wonder'
Hit Man in early 1983; but then six months after that show was axed, he bounced back with, of course,
Press Your Luck. Another is Pat Finn, his first effort, the 1990 remake of
The Joker's Wild, failed poorly; but his follow-up show has run off and on for the past 13 years, and it's still going. The show, of course, is
Shop Til You Drop. Then there is Chuck Woolery. He spent seven years hosting
Wheel of Fortune, but after that, he spent about eight years doing
Love Connection.--the 'Lynda Day George of the Big Board!'

Three others whose second show was a bigger success than their first: Dawson(Masquerade Party, then Feud), Trebek(Wizard of Odds, then HR), Johnny Carson(Earn Your Vacation, then WHo Do You Trust),
