One of the main plots has the main character's mom (http://\"http://www.amazon.com/When-You-Reach-Rebecca-Stead/dp/0385737424\") preparing to go on "The $20,000 Pyramid" after three years of auditioning and her training for it- even the chapter titles are Pyramid categories...

That's pretty cool...I remember reading a book from the late Paula Danziger called Can You Sue Your Parents for Malpractice? (most Danziger titles came from a line of dialogue). In the book, a minor subplot revolves around the main character's mother going on a game show, "the one where you can win $25,000". Being the book was from around 1979, I figured they were talking about Pyramid, or maybe Whew!, but I always figured the former.
