A quick google search reveals He Said She Said aired in 2000 for Game of the Week and a mini-marathon in 1997.

Aside from those, was this ever on the regular schedule?
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

He Said She Said never had a berth on the regular schedule IIRC.

I remember it airing on one of the last Sunday Nights in Black & White, too, sometime in spring '01.  Only time I've ever seen it.  I don't even remember it well enough to say whether I liked it.

You're correct.  GSN has only aired about 8-10 episodes of the show - a couple on "Game of the Week", and the others on a marathon of the show in the late '90s.  That marathon featured episodes with Sally Field (likely the one they're re-airing in this marathon) and a whole week with Dick Clark on the panel.

I don't really care for it.  It was sort of a fore-runner of "Tattletales", and I much prefer "Tattletales" to this.

GSN has aired an Oscars marathon before and have aired two different He Said She Said episodes with Sally Field. It'd be good to keep for sake of rarity, but that's one boring show. It'd also been Game of the Week more than once.

The whole marathon sounds great though!

It also aired in 2003, when GSN threw us a bone for the change back to standard time (the other part of that hour was a 1973 TTTT with William Hanna [as in Hanna-Barbera] as a central character).

Coolness!  My only complaint is this:  Some quick research leads me to believe that Johnny Carson only made one appearance on Password, which means they're airing that show two nights in a row--in the same time slot.  I hope I'm wrong.

As I think about it, every host that I can remember post-Carson has appeared on a game show.
Billy Crystal - record-holder on Pyramid
David Letterman - also on 20KP,P+
Whoopi Goldberg - H2
Steve Martin - (don't know about GSN rights or even existence of the complete episode) The Dating Game

It exists and GSN has aired it before (with Richard Dawson in the first segment.)

There was actually a period of five years between Carson's last hosting gig and Crystal's first, but since Billy started in 1990 (for the 1989 films), your list is complete with the exception of last year's host Chris Rock, who may have broken the streak.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

I remember watching He Said, She Said when GSN aired it in 2003.  I was disappointed that the theme wasn't the same verion used for Who's Who in WML.  Good show other than that.

Sounded like it came out of the same music bed to me (I'd say the "Who's Who" theme started at the beginning of the piece, while the HSSS theme started at a later point).

Count me among those that thought TT was better, though (once they went to the all-quickie format).
