Bleh.

Another problem was that it was often difficult to tell contestant from celebrity without seeing the graphic introducing them.
Or maybe it was just me.

And you're saying that everyone on Clark's or Davidson's Pyramids were common household names??? Like Barry Gordon... or for those non-game show fans, Henry Pollick II.
I'd say the percentage of "who the %@&! is that" celebrities that appeared on Donny's Pyramid was about the same as those on the Davidson and the later Clark Pyramids.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the strongest percentage of familiar A or B-list Pyramid celebrities on during the ABC $10K-$20K runs??
