Rich Jefferies had replaced Gene Wood as announcer by this point.

Jeffries was just a fill-in during the Kennedy era...Gene did indeed announce the handful of 1982 P+ eps that are out there, including the finale, thus maintaining said position for its entire run.

Chuck Donegan (The Illustrious "Chuckie Baby")

January 3, 1983 was a magnificent date for NBC games. Sale, Hit Man & (the Witch of the West) Just Men! The car started on the very first show.

Exactly 10 years later (January 3, 1993) brought more bad luck for me! That's when the famous AFC Wild Card Game was played on NBC, as the Buffalo Bills made a comeback & defeated the (then) Houston Oilers 41-38 in OT!

I don't know which was worse, but I got a headache on both days!

Nah, I'd just send his happy butt back to Houston and just pray he stays there.

Hopefully the broom will sputter out and he'll fall in The Gulf of Mexico and melt....

As a one-time Dallas native, I highly resent that idea. :-P

Besides, the Cowboys had a bad enough season without any witches. >

And on the 41st birthday of its host and producer:
JANUARY 8, 1979 All-Star Secrets starring Bob Eubanks, a production of The Hill-Eubanks Group. Announcers included Charlie O'Donnell, Tony McClay and Bill Baldwin.

And on January 5, 1979 Bob Eubanks appeared on Jim Perry's "Card Sharks" promoting the debut of "All-Star Secrets".

Kind of ironic....don't you think!

Since network daytime has always been continuous, there's never been that much of an emphasis of starting in September like in prime time or in syndication, where most contracts run on a September-to-September basis. When a show's ready and there's a hole for it, they'll drop it in.

Richard Dawson even eluded to it on an early "Family Feud". He was talking a bit about the show and the upcoming fall schedule, and stated "ABC allowed us to jump the gun a little bit".
