Hosts playing their own game

[wdm1219inpenna]

Not sure why but this crossed my mind earlier today.

I recall Dick Clark as a celebrity contestant on Bill Cullen's $25,000 Pyramid.

Chuck Woolery was a player on Scrabble one week during a game show host tournament.

Peter Marshall was the center square during a game show themed week on Bergeron's Hollywood Squares.

Tom Kennedy once played Password Plus while he was the actual host, and his brother Jack Narz was host for a puzzle (maybe more).

Bert Convy sometimes appeared with his wife on Tattletales whenever they used other rotating hosts.

Gene Rayburn once sat in Charles' seat during a Match Game question after Gene told Charles how tired he was and Charles had in jest made a complaint about Gene not coming down to the end of the row to see Charles' answer card.

Both Bill Cullen and Joe Garagiola served both as emcees and celebrity panelists on To Tell The Truth.

Pat Sajak and Vanna White were contestants on Wheel during April 1, 1997.

While never playing a full game, Bob Barker I know spun the big wheel for some contestants.

I'm sure there are other examples of this that are not coming to mind for me just now.  I'm curious to hear of other recollections as well.

Meredith played on Celebrity Millionaire, as did Jimmy Kimmel. Regis took on a question for St. Regis.

Did Alex ever play Jeopardy on NBC?

McLean Stevenson hosted almost a whole episode of Match Game while Gene was in the panel.

Louie Anderson was on celebrity family feud

Bert Convy on Rayburn Match Game

Did Alex ever play Jeopardy on NBC?

Yes!  It's noted in one of those infamous program cards NBC kept.

Mike Adamle suited up for an episode of American Gladiators against Dean Cain and John McGinley.

He also sat in Rosie O'Donnell's square when she hosted a round during the first season.

Bill Cullen did a couple weeks of 80s Pyramid, and Dick recalled him hosting 70s 25K. I wanna say they talked about appearing on each other's versions in the 70s.

I know Garry Moore traded seats with Peggy and Kitty on TTTT. Was Reege ever on Meredith's version of Millionaire? I think maybe Meredith was on and turned the tables on Reege when she was in the hot seat and asked him the questions.

John Davidson did some center square work at least twice that I can remember when he was hosting.

Yes. once when Alf was hosting. I thought he did a better job of hosting than John.

[BrandonFG]

Alex Trebek also appeared on Anderson's TTTT around 2018, and they talked about his hosting stint. Don't remember if they showed a clip.

[Eric Paddon]

Steve Allen was a guest panelist on IGAS in 1961 after he'd already subbed as host once (1952) and before he took over the host job in 1964.

John Davidson did some center square work at least twice that I can remember when he was hosting.

I would bet a paycheck that at least once ALF was hosting (which I would say is a brilliant trade and better use of both talents) would Jm J. or Joan have hosted?

Did Alex ever play Jeopardy on NBC?

Yes!  It's noted in one of those infamous program cards NBC kept.

Just the person I wanted to hear from, and I love the idea of a network card catalog.

Would Alex have been reppin' for High Rollers or just there as a known quantity and brainy type?

Believe it or not, it was The Wizard of Odds.  April of 1974.

[TLEberle]

Wizard of Odds? Wasn't that show in enough jeopardy already?

[ChrisLambert!]

It feels like a good crossover idea since the show’s theme song is in the form of a question.
