After Trebek (October 2018), before Narz (March 2020). Debuted in February 2019 (marathon of the premiere week, minus the actual premiere itself), joined the regular lineup in September 2019.

Just to get ahead of any incorrect discussion: to say the shows were acquired would be misleading. Fremantle has had the tapes for years (if not always). Whatever part NBC still has in (Classic) Concentration and/or whatever part MGM still has in MGHSH was no doubt settled to make these airings happen.

Same. I distinctly remember trying on my Halloween costume while watching the premiere.

Yes, and it was probably easier as it wasn't GSN (which had to negotiate between two companies rather than one, and apparently was not interested in airing all of the above).
The latter gives me hope that Fremantle's talks with MGM involved whatever remains of its game show content.

Back when my mom still had her record collection, I found that, on the back of Disney's Merry Christmas Songs' sleeve, I had scribbled the MG/HS style Squares grid.
