Hosts Who Did More Than One Show On The Same Network

I checked Wikipedia to see if anyone's hosted two on FOX, but it doesn't look like that's the case.  J.D. Roth (Fox's Fun House/Unan1mous), Wayne Brady (Don't Forget the Lyrics/Celebrity Duets), and Mark Wahlberg (Moment of Truth/Temptation Island) have all hosted a game show and a reality show, but no one's got two game shows.

It's a stretch but you can make a case for Kevin Pollak.  He hosted My Little Genius and hosts Million Dollar Money Drop.  My Little Genius might not have aired, but Pollak did host those shows.

Are we looking for only game shows?  If not, an even better example for Mr. Clark is ABC Pyramid and Bandstand.

I prefer a better, later example with Clark.  Simultaneously, he was hosting Pyramid on CBS, Bandstand on ABC, and Bloopers on NBC.  Remember that this was before FOX.  So he was literally on all the networks every week.

Going back to game show hosts, here's a few examples:

Tom Kennedy (I'm excluding stuff like A Date With the Angels and About Faces)
ABC -- Doctor I.Q., Split Second, You Don't Say, Break the Bank
CBS -- Whew!, Body Language
NBC -- The Big Game, You Don't Say, 50 Grand Slam, Name That Tune, To Say the Least, Password Plus, Body Language

Alex Trebek
ABC -- Super Jeopardy!
CBS -- Double Dare
NBC -- The Wizard of Odds, High Rollers, Battlestars, Classic Concentration, To Tell the Truth

Bill Cullen (again, host only)
ABC -- The Price Is Right, Blankety Blanks
CBS -- Give and Take, Place the Face, Name That Tune, I've Got a Secret, Pass the Buck, Child's Play
NBC -- Winner Take All, Bank on the Stars, Down You Go, The Price Is Right, Three on a Match, Winning Streak, Chain Reaction, Blockbusters, Hot Potato

You get the idea.


You can also add in syndication for the above three - Tom with Price is Right, Alex with Jeopardy and Bill with $25,000 Pyramid.

The only other one I can think of off the top of my head that would fit is Peter Tomarken (ABC Bargain Hunters, CBS Press Your Luck, NBC Hit Man, syndication Wipeout).

(Sorry kids -- with the way PBS does scheduling, I just can't call it a network)

I always saw PBS as "non-commercial syndication."  Back to the topic of the thread...

Jim Lange
ABC-The Dating Game, the weeklong Newlywed Game special in 1984
CBS-Give N Take, Spin Off

Since you mentioned PBS and Jim Lange, one of the PBS stations in Michigan (WGVU) ran "Take My Word For It" around 84-85, a few years after the initial run.  I guess it qualified as somewhat educational.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.
