CBS must have used a clip from an unaired pilot. The clip showed Jack at a podium standing between two contestants.

That is exactly what I was thinking. I didn't know of another pilot being shot besides the Black and White one with Allen Ludden. Very interesting to see 3 seconds of it though.

I'm not sure what pilot the clip of Peter T. was from(I think the clip is the same one seen in the "How to Play the Game" section of the NBC Carl Reiner-hosted 1984 Wonderful GS moments special, and I think the Gambit clip might be the same one on said special). Well-known shows with no clip seen: Password, Pyramid, PYL, and Tattletales.

Given all of three seconds to go on, I'm tempted to think it might be something called Winds of Fortune. Matt Kaiser describes it as "confusing" on his website:

Other Peter Tomarken unsold pilots I only know by title:
Duel in the Daytime   8/23/1981
Show Me The World   c1980s
Two Heads are Better Than One   10/6/1990

He also did Rodeo Drive(1981 Wolpert pilot somewhat like the show that aired on Lifetime), and TKO for Goodson(1990), and it was reported several years back that he did the Wordplay pilot in 1986. He also did a pilot for a psychic-based show for ABC, and ABC aired that pilot on a Saturday afteroon in Spring 1987.

If I had to guess on the Peter Tomarken mystery clip, I'd go with "none of the above." The 1984 NBC special showed another clip from the same pilot where Peter says something like "Here comes the first bulletin!" followed by a Teletype/morse code sound effect, which really doesn't fit what we know about the speculated-about pilots already mentioned. Well, frankly, we know nothing about "Dual in the Daytime," so it might be that, but based on the photo I've seen, the set looks too plain for that. Aaaaannnd now I'm rambling. The "Joker"clip was cool though.

For a week, TJW had tried to have celebrities play the game where the contestants stood & have the contestans stood between Jack Barry. I remember seeing that!

That format failed & were back to contestants only.

The clip of Wink Martindale hosting "Gambit" was, of course, from "Las Vegas Gambit"... which aired on NBC.

Where was IGAS? PYL?

Having seen Winds of Fortune and Show Me the World, I can tell you the mystery Tomarken show was neither of these titles. Both shows were taped in Asia (Malaysia, IIRC) around 1997.

For those that care, Winds of Fortune's game play centered around the Asian game mahjongg. I don't remember much about Show Me the World, which probably isn't a bad thing.

When did this celebrity week run on CBS? I don't remember seeing it on the GSN run of the CBS repeats.

Is it completely impossible that it might have come from the blooper reel from Tomarken goofing around on an episode of PYL? Granted, the rules explanation is a bit odd, but if that background color isn't the exact same color they used for the cycs on the PYL set, then I've never seen it before.

If this pilot was screened at GSC8, then ostensibly one of the attendees is a member here, and might be able to confirm or deny?

Apparently it was later in the run...

From the classicjokerswild Yahoo! Group:

4. "The Joker's Wild" oftentimes featured well-known celebrities competing for
charity. Here is a typical Celebrity Joker's Wild week from January 1974:
January 7: Rod McKuen
January 8: Morey Amsterdam, Dr. Joyce Brothers, Lyle Waggoner, Peggy Lennon
January 9: Ross Hunter, Ross Martin, Fannie Flagg
January 10: Martha Raye, Bill Daily, Ann Elder
January 11: Peggy Cass, Doc Severinsen, Marty Ingels

Well, they did have the intro...

The peter clip was from the Rodeo Drive pilot. On another special there is another clip of peter saying, "here come the bulletins" and he has cards that have a big RD on them.

As for Joker, I want to go on record as saying, Al Martella, The Game Show Informational Specialist called me exactly 10 minutes after that Joker clip aired and spotted it as the special week of shows in which they reverted back to the pilot format with celebrities which meant the contestants went aside of Jack!

Bravo Al!

According to TVGuide, a celebrity week of "Joker's Wild" did air in January 1974. If there were any other celebrity weeks, TVGuide didn't list the celebrities, so I tend to think that was the only time it happened.
