No argument there...supposedly, as per Peck, syndicator Colbert wanted someone w/name value, though that wouldn't explain how little-known (outside LA, anyway) Jim Caldwell got the job on TTD just a season later.

Didn't Caldwell formerly host the NYC version of Evening(PM) Magazine?

Even so, Peck still had a couple of national game shows under his belt, albeit none lasted beyond one year, so the decision to go with Jim C. is still kinda interesting.

Also, Jim was seen nationally on Good Morning America when David Hartman was on vacation. What I am unsure of is when he had his stint on Divorce Court, and whether this had any bearing on it.

His Divorce Court gig started in Fall 1984, which is when Bill Cullen took over on TJW. The DC gig starting that Fall would probably have make Peck ineligible to do TJW. Peck did stand in for a week or two of the 1985-86 TJW season. Peck's DC gig ran through 1987 or 1988.

Speaking of Peck and his role on the Original DC, who was he, the stenographer/interviewer, or the bailiff or the judge?
