Hosts pluuging their new shows on other game shows

[Ryan_Conley194]

Hi, I recently went to Mr. City's website and I saw Bill Cullen and Bert Convy plug Child's Play and Tattletales on TPiR.  What I want to know is were there any other shows that had hosts from different game shows plug their new series?

I'll help you a little bit. Ray Combs went on Card Sharks to plug his version of Family Feud, Bob Eubanks went on Card Sharks to plug All-Star Secrets and Art Fleming appeared on The New High Rollers to plug the late 70s version of Jeopardy!
I know there are others, but I find those last two rather interesting.

Hi, I recently went to Mr. City's website and I saw Bill Cullen and Bert Convy plug Child's Play and Tattletales on TPiR.

I'm sure many of us (including moi) have in their video collections, the Match Game '74 installment where Convy made an unannounced appearence to plug Tattletales. And here's a few other examples:

Jack Narz plugging Now You See It during his week as a TT guest. (He plugged it eight times!)

Chuck Woolery appearing on Celebrity Sweepstakes to promote some show entitled Wheel of Fortune.

In 1971, Jack Barry made a brief visit to The Newlywed Game to promote The Reel Game.

And here's an item we may have forgotten, Vin Scully "came on down" on TPiR to plug his short-lived talk show in 1973. (I thought he was gonna be an actual contestant on the show!)

Cordially,
Tammy Warner--the 'Renee Roy of the Big Board!'

[Mr. Matté]

Tom Kennedy went on Blockbusters to plug Password + inside one of the hexagons and Ray Combs also went on TPIR to plug Feud also ("These are Barker's Beauties, get your own Combs' Cuties!").

[Ian Wallis]

One I've always liked was Tom Kennedy appearing on the first Stumpers to plug his new show 50 Grand Slam; and Allen Ludden appearing on the first 50 Grand Slam (which premiered immediately after Stumpers) to plug his new show Stumpers - and to wish each other luck.  Fortunately, a lot of us have those shows in our collections.  Unfortanately, both shows were cancelled on New Year's Eve 1976, after just 13 weeks on the air.

I remember Vin's plug for his talk show on TPIR.  He also did a week of You Don't Say! with Amanda Blake as the other celebrity, and on all shows (presumably; I only saw Monday and Friday's shows) Tom Kennedy mentioned the upcoming It Takes Two which Scully would host.

TPIR:

Eubanks plugging Card Sharks
Combs plugging Family Feud
Convy plugging TattleTales
Cullen plugging Childs Play
Chuck Henry plugging Now You See It
Tom Kennedy plugging Body Language
Bob Goen plugging Wheel of Fortune (Blackout as well?)

There's a pic of Monty visiting Mike Darow's"Dream House" in the encyclopedia.  Off topic but, can anyone confirm that Kelly Lange went on MMM to plug "Take My Advice"?

[Ryan_Conley194]

Did Tomarken ever plug Press Your Luck on The Price is Right or any other CBS game show that was on at the time?

[TonicBH]

I believe I once saw on a MG webpage that Jack Narz randomly appeared on MG to promote NYSI, but I could be wrong.

He didn't just show up to plug Now You See It.  Jack was a panelist for an entire week in '74.

I can't confirm it with 100 percent certainty, but I do seem to remember that happening.  Odd, since Take My Advice replaced MMM, for a couple of weeks anyway.

Barker has made references to the Cullen show on rare occasions, but he didn't mention Cullen's hosting of the original TPIR during Cullen's 1982 appearance.

Bob Goen did promote Blackout when he surprised Bob Eubanks on Card Sharks, coming out as a contestant during the kids week.

Allen Ludden promoted Stumpers! on 50 Grand Slam (hosted by Tom Kennedy) & Kennedy returned the favor promoting 50 Grand Slam on Allen Ludden's show, Stumpers!

When Pat Sajak called out Vanna White to come out of the curtain, out came Betty White, promoting her show.

More from my Cullen files:

Bill appeared on Concentration to plug his Three on a Match.

Geoff Edwards appeared with Bill on Three on Match to plug his Jackpot.

This goes back a way:  Roger Price appeared with Bill on Bank on the Stars to plug his Droodles.
