Host Bloopers -- Accidentally Mentioning Prior Gigs

[TimK2003]

I was watching a YT video recently from a person who was a contestant on both The Cross Wits and Tic Tac Dough, and she uploaded her appearances.

During the TTD episode, Wink Martindale slipped up and instead of inviting the contestant to come over to Face The Dragon, he said to, "Come on over to the GAMBIT board".  Obviously, he immediately knew what he said and cringed in embarrassment while the crowd laughed and cheered for his faux pas.

What other hosts *inadvertantly* made reference to a former show they hosted?

The only other occurrence I can think of off the top of my head was Peter Tomarken on Wipeout advising a contestant to avoid a Whammy instead of the Wipeout.

Others?

“I kept telling them, ‘Look, find someone else to do it, it’ll be a huge hit.’ Look what happened to Wheel!”

Chuck Woolery, final Scrabble 1990

While hosting Paranoia, Peter also slipped up and called the Family Channel “Game Show Network”. I think he caught himself and said the right network.

Not his show, unless you went to the future and counted CDi video games, but Wink also told someone to come over and face the Devil.  Saw this one when I first got GSN in 97.  Geez, 25 years ago!

Another TTD had another accidental Gambit reference, where Wink calls Jay Stewart "Kenny" when asking for the contestants.  (Jay: "I will, and so will Jay...")

Peter Marshall.  Reel to Reel Picture Show.  That is all

In Quizmaster there's a story about Bill starting an episode of Blockbusters by saying "Welcome to Blankety Blanks! Wait, what show is this?"

Bob Barker once asked for Charlie (his ToC announcer) to call down another contestant on Price.

At least once (maybe it was more?), Alex Trebek referred to Jeopardy while hosting Classic Concentration.

Bill Rafferty also slipped up and mentioned Blockbusters while hosting syndie Card Sharks.

Once on TPIR when they were playing Five Price Tags, Barker said "You can win choices of the five price tags by playing Truth or Consequences."

On the 90s Jackpot, Geoff called Johnny Gilbert by the name Johnny Jacobs.

I just digitized a Scrabble episode during Love Week, and Chuck welcomes everyone to "Love Connection Week."

Somewhat related(ish?) - Did it ever become known/confirmed the degree of deliberation in Chuck calling the red balls in Lingo "stoppers". (ie the invalid Scrabble tiles)?  In the earliest instances, it feels very accidental and he tried to not, but by a certain point a short distance into the run, it's organically become their name on that version.

At least once (maybe it was more?), Alex Trebek referred to Jeopardy while hosting Classic Concentration.

Yep--there were a few episodes where he called Wild Cards "Daily Doubles" (then he'd look sheepishly into the camera and say, "Did I do it again?").

Once on The Diamond Head Game, Bob Eubanks thanked the contestants for playing The Newlywed Game. And I think the time it happened to Rafferty, he referred to Card Sharks on Blockbusters instead of the other way around.

“I kept telling them, ‘Look, find someone else to do it, it’ll be a huge hit.’ Look what happened to Wheel!

That seems to be more of a purposeful mention.

There was a Buzzr-aired episode of Whew! where Tom Kennedy mentions the Gauntlet for a chance to win $100k.   He later corrected himself without mentioning the likely reference to the $100,000 Name That Tune by name, though most viewers likely figured it out.

"It's not what you say that counts, it's how many notes you bid!"

Somewhere in the '90s, there's a TPIR where Bob starts to sign off from Truth or Consequences after the Showcase -- "Bob Barker hoping all of your...prices are right."
