"The Name's the Same" had the host seated at his desk at the start of the show.

On Paranoia, there was no host entrance - PT was standing at his locked in podium at the start of the show.

You could also make a case for WLoD.  The host (be it Convy, Lawrence or Weller) was already on stage as the cameras came on--all he/she had to do was turn around and walk a few steps, greet the audience and walk back toward the easel.

Also, Jay Jackson on Tic Tac Dough.

Maury's Twenty-One was mentioned - didn't the original Twenty-One also have Jack opening each show with a dramatic stage-setter from his podium? The two or three episodes I've seen started that way..were they special, or the norm?

That was the normal way it was done. In fact, I mentioned it in a previous thread about GS openings.

In other words, you knew the answer all along.  Now there's a big surprise.

If this guy could be considered a "host,"...

Did "Inquisition" have a host entrance? I didn't think it did because I never saw the guy's face, coming OR going.

Well, he DID ask the questions, eliminate players and award the prize at the end.  Sounds like host's work for me.  Now, not a very NICE host at all, but still a host.

Now, if memory serves, we saw him from behind walking into a warehouse, then saw him walking toward his chair (while a bright light obscured his face) then there was a cut to the 'standard' shot.  That's about as close to an entrance as you can get without actually being one.

And we saw him leave the warehouse/hangar/whatever you thing it was at the end and utter a diabolical laugh as the crawl ended right before the cut to the GSN originals logo.

And also, Celebrity Sweepstakes both daytime and nighttime had no host entrance, now IIRC, the daytime version used the Stan Worth version of the theme music which we now have as a full clean theme, while the nighttime version has the Alan Thicke version of the theme music, this would be heard on back when it was tvthemesonline.com. And I now heard Jim McKrell said "they're hearing the actual questions for the very first time", this phrase can also be heard on both the daytime and nighttime Vintage Squares.

Wrong!!!! Again.
Both themes were used at various times on both versions. Keep swingin', Iris.

My tongue is in a knot trying to say it :)

On Pitfall, was Alex always in the audience area? I don't recall having him walk in from anywhere. I guess it was like LMAD.
