Was it really seen just on WNBC?  .

Yep.  They promoted up the Atlantic City connection but no, it never aired anywhere else.

I vote yes. Both shows had the same concept.

Yes, but I liked Shoot for the Stars more...it was much more traditional with the mechanical board coming out of 30 Rock and the Bob Stewart 1970s all-star team, including Geoff Edwards, Tony Randall, Anne Meara, Bill Cullen, Nipsey Russell, and Peggy Cass. But it was strange that the bonus round was sometimes worth less than winning the main game

I actually saw a taping at the Ed Sullivan Theatre while the SNL studio was being constructed.  I believe I saw Penny Peyser and Larry Linville.  No all-stars anywhere.

Speaking of Double Talk, the end game of Double Talk seemed to have nothing to do with the premise of the main game.

If anything, it was more like the Gold Run on Blockbusters, initials given and the celebrity gave clues to help the civilian identify the answer.

Shoot For The Stars on the other hand did have an end game that tied in with the front game but no "stars" to shoot for.  I agree the end game for Shoot For The Stars was disappointing...felt very much the same with Scrabble 1993 when the Bonus Sprint Jackpot started at a paltry $1,000...
