And now we wonder what Sybil thought no one wanted to lick.
EDIT: Another $30,000 win. Didn't see that coming.

How many times has Jon had the 30 card now, twice?
Did Leonard Frey ever do any other game show? I never remember seeing him on anything else (sure as heck didn't know who he was until MGHS).

This was Jon's third time with the 30. The third time in as many weeks - 12/26/83 & 1/4/84 the first two.
What's funnier is that between the last $30K win and this one there were ZERO wins over $1K - two burnouts at the H2H sandwiched by NINE losses.
A quick scan of iMDB and the Goodson Wikia, as inaccurate as they may be, have Leonard Frey down as having done the following.
The "Heroes vs. Villians" All-Star Family Feud Special (2/5/82; coincidentally playing against one "Bowzer")
One week of Body Language (11/4-8/85, with Abby Dalton)
Three weeks of Super Password (12/16-20/85 with Martha Smith, 5/5-9/86 with Emma Samms, 1/26-30/87 with Nancy Stafford)
What I find funnier is that he's still being billed this week as being from Mr. Smith nearly a good month after that show ended. This wasn't the first time that MGHS billed someone from a dead show (Alfie Wise and Trauma Center) and it wouldn't be the last (Chuck Wagner and Automan). How far in advance did they record these things?

I am told that Tattletales was particularly problematic. My friend at GSN says that Newhart's people specifically said no to Tattletales, but yes to other appearances. No idea why. While this wouldn't be the problem in Newhart's case, you can imagine that some celebrities would veto their appearances because of who their partner was at the time.

I've seen a complete listing of the celebrities who appeared on the nighttime show, and the Newharts did more than half of them. I guess that likely means most of the syndie episodes will probably never be seen again.
