This was slyly played.

Germane to the question, Geoff Edwards would play the "home game" on Chain Reaction with the announcer.

Matt Ottinger:
Ben Stein

John Davidson Jr. also hosted while his father was center square for a Christmas episode. He did quite well.

Chuck Woolery played Scrabble while Marc Summers hosted. According to Marc, they wouldn't let him play because they thought he wasn't well known enough. Chuck said on WOF that he offered to play Wheel while another host hosted but they wouldn't let him.

Alex Trebek and Pat Sajak switched places for April Fools.

Bert Convy played Tattletales with his wife on a few occasions. Once for a full week with Gene Rayburn hosting, then another week with Bob Barker, Bobby Van, Jack Narz, Gene Rayburn, and Richard Dawson hosting. (I think this was actually two separate weeks, as Richard Dawson and Gene Rayburn were on two separate weeks and I believe Bobby Van was only on one of the two weeks. I'm too lazy to look it up.)

Matt, these were all mentioned earlier in the thread.
