With that noon slot, I don't think that would have made a difference.

Pick a better emcee for Mindreaders than Dick Martin.

Interesting. With that being said, when Mindreaders was being created, were any other candidates given consideration? Or a run-through?

Adam: ISTR Noreen Conlin was around for Puzzlers in Q1 1980. Brockman could be off by a year in his chronology and departed NBC in 1979, unless they were keeping him on mothballs until 1980.

Now I have to activate some dormant brain cells. Bobby Sherman may have emceed a run-thru or two just to test the format, not being considered for air. The only celeb we tested was Dick Martin.
