Who are some game show hosts that hosted more than one show on the same network?
I know that Dick Clark did the $25,000.00 Pyramid and Winning Lines for CBS.

If that's the only one you can come up with, you're probably not on the right board. There are undoubtedly dozens of examples. Bill Cullen, just to pick one, did more than one show on all three networks. Just about any major host with multiple credits will have done at least two for the same network.

Heck--Trebek did two NBC shows at the same time (CLASSIC CONCENTRATION and TTTT91).
-
That might be the better question, how many hosts have done more than one show on the same network... at the same time?
-
What about Drew Carey? He hosted The Power of 10 as well as TPIR on CBS.
-
Chuck Woolery hosted both "Wheel" and "Scrabble" on NBC
Jim Perry hosted both "Card Sharks" and "Sale of the Century" on NBC
Drew Carey hosted both "Power of Ten" and of course "TPIR" on CBS
-
Jeff Marder did "Night Games" and "A Perfect Score" on CBS.
-
I think it could be a bit more challenging to find who did 3 or more shows for the same network. Tom Kennedy has done that for two networks.
ABC-Split Second, You Don't Say, and Break the Bank, the latter two just months apart
NBC-You Don't Say, Password + and Wordplay
Trebek did at least 4 for NBC...the two Doug mentioned for NBC, plus High Rollers and Wizard of Odds.
-
In Italy hosts with two shows are not rare, but only Mike Bongiorno hosted three: Concentration, Wheel of Fortune and TeleMike (Jeopardy!) on Canale5 in 1990
-
Jim Peck-all on ABC-Big Showdown, Hot Seat, Second Chance.
-
Bob Eubanks - Newlywed Game, Diamond Head?
-
Diamond Head was actually syndicated, but he did do All-Star Secrets, Dream House, and Family Secrets, all for NBC.

As well as The Newlywed Game & Trivia Trap for ABC.

Are we looking for only game shows? If not, an even better example for Mr. Clark is ABC Pyramid and Bandstand.

And if you're not including game shows, Drew Carey can be on the list twice, for his own show and "Drew's Line" on ABC.
-
Marc Summers - Double Dare and What Would You Do?

And if you're not including game shows, Drew Carey can be on the list twice, for his own show and "Drew's Line" on ABC.
If you're not including game shows, then Michael Landon did Bonanza and Little House for NBC. Can we at least pretend to make the effort to narrow our scope here, please?
-
Trebek did at least 4 for NBC...the two Doug mentioned for NBC, plus High Rollers and Wizard of Odds.
Trebek gets yet another point for his NBC history...BATTLESTARS!!
And if ya wanna get nit-picky and consider original shows and their later revivals to be two different shows, he could receive another two NBC points for the "return" of HIGH ROLLERS in 1978 as well as THE NEW BATTLESTARS.
But again, those only count if we're being nit-picky...:)
In any case, that Trebek dude is one over-achieving Canadianesque kinda guy...:)

I want to take a moment to praise Brandon for making an effort (in vain, it looks like, but an effort) to turn an irritating laundry-list thread into something useful.
Good try, sir.
(I can think of at least four on NBC for Cullen (if subbing on P+ counts) just within the first half of the 1980s. (And three of those WERE in 1980!) And at least four more between 1956 and 1974.)

If subbing counts, then Geoff Edwards would qualify as well for NBC (JACKPOT!, SHOOT FOR THE STARS and subbing on CR).
TK did a lot of shows at NBC--in addition to the three Brandon mentioned, he also did 50 GRAND SLAM, TO SAY THE LEAST, NAME THAT TUNE and a slough of others.

My question was linking the *host* to something else they might have hosted on the network that wasn't a game (like Dick's Pyramid/Bandstand combo).
-

Was 50:50 cancelled before The Million Drop came over?
-
Ed McMahon-Missing Links, Snap Judgment, Concentration-NBC
Bill Leyden-four on NBC-It Could Be You, Your First Impression, Call My Bluff and You're Putting Me On.
Art James-Say When, Fractured Phrases, WW or W, Blank Check, Mag. Marble Mach. (5 on NBC!)
-

Bud Collyer's gigs Beat The Clock and To Tell The Truth ran concurrently for a couple of years on CBS. (1956-58) Is that a good example?
Wink hosted Gambit and Tic Tac Dough on CBS.
Jack Narz did four shows on CBS: Dotto, Top Dollar, Video Village, and Now You See It.
Cordially,
Tammy
-
Wink also did three on NBC, What's this Song, Words and Music and LVG.

Plus Las Vegas Gambit.
I believe that's what LVG stands for...

AB could be considered a quasi-game show with the "Rate-A-Record" segment, no?
-
Let us not forget Ricki Lake for the "shows" during Game Show Marathon.
On second thought...

How about Dennis James on NBC?

Your First Impression
Not sure if PDQ would count because it aired on the NBC O&Os but was syndicated in all other markets.
-

No. Very, very, very no. In fact I can't think of the first reason anyone would draw such a conclusion. Just because the two kids get a couple of crates of Clearasil for helping out?

Of course. How could I have been so silly.

Let's see,
Bill Cullen did NBC's Blockbusters and Hot Potato.
Jim Perry did NBC's Card Sharks and Sale Of The Century.
Peter Tomarken did CBS's Press Your Luck and Bargain Hunters.
Bob Goen did CBS's Blackout and Wheel Of Fortune.
Am I right about those?

Almost. Bargain Hunters was on ABC.

However, the "Soul Train Scramble Board" would qualify, no? :)

Thanks...it was worth a shot. ;-) Although I didn't find it irritating, but I just knew this thread could go on awhile if it's just kept to two shows...

Name That Tune (1974-75 daytime). NBC was also the "network of record" for his version of The Price is Right.
Not sure if PDQ would count because it aired on the NBC O&Os but was syndicated in all other markets.
About as much as It's Your Bet would count toward Tom Kennedy's NBC credits.
[H]ow many hosts have done more than one show on the same network...at the same time?
Bud Collyer's gigs Beat The Clock and To Tell The Truth ran concurrently for a couple of years on CBS. (1956-58)
He did it again on ABC with Beat The Clock and Number Please (January-March 1961).
-
And if you're not including game shows, Drew Carey can be on the list twice, for his own show and "Drew's Line" on ABC.
Hell, Drew Carey twice -- Price Is Right & Power of 10 on CBS.
-
Regis, twenty-three years apart, ABC. (Record?)

What a strange thread.

I know that Dick Clark did the $25,000.00 Pyramid and Winning Lines for CBS.
Are we looking for only game shows? If not, an even better example for Mr. Clark is ABC Pyramid and Bandstand.
Clark, at one point, had one show on each of the (then three) networks - Pyramid on CBS, Bloopers and Practical Jokes on NBC, and American Bandstand on ABC.
Going back to game show hosts, here's a few examples:
Tom Kennedy (I'm excluding stuff like A Date With the Angels and About Faces)
ABC -- Doctor I.Q., Split Second, You Don't Say, Break the Bank
CBS -- Whew!, Body Language
NBC -- The Big Game, You Don't Say, 50 Grand Slam, Name That Tune, To Say the Least, Password Plus, Body Language
Alex Trebek
ABC -- Super Jeopardy!
CBS -- Double Dare
NBC -- The Wizard of Odds, High Rollers, Battlestars, Classic Concentration, To Tell the Truth
Bill Cullen (again, host only)
ABC -- The Price Is Right, Blankety Blanks
CBS -- Give and Take, Place the Face, Name That Tune, I've Got a Secret, Pass the Buck, Child's Play
NBC -- Winner Take All, Bank on the Stars, Down You Go, The Price Is Right, Three on a Match, Winning Streak, Chain Reaction, Blockbusters, Hot Potato
You get the idea.

Said of Bob Eubanks:
Diamond Head was actually syndicated, but he did do All-Star Secrets, Dream House, and Family Secrets, all for NBC.
As well as The Newlywed Game & Trivia Trap for ABC.
Add Rhyme and Reason to the ABC list.
-
However, the "Soul Train Scramble Board" would qualify, no? :)
At least there's a freakin' ARGUMENT for the Scramble Board. :)
-
NBC was also the "network of record" for his version of The Price is Right.
Which means precisely nothing in the context of this conversation.
As for Tomarken, is he the host with the fewest series that covered all four bases? (ABC/CBS/NBC/SYN)[quote name='Jimmy Owen']Fee plugs on art cards=game show[/quote]Stop being provocative.
-
[quote name='Jimmy Owen']Fee plugs on art cards=game show
Stop being provocative.[/quote]
Oh for God's sake, Mark. Even *I* got that Jimmy was being sarcastic that time.
-
Monty Hall did Video Village and All New Beat the Clock on CBS.
Jack Narz did Video Village and Now You See It on CBS.
Jack Barry did Tic Tac Dough, Twenty One and for a brief time, Concentration, on NBC.
Gene Rayburn did Dough Re Mi and The Match Game on NBC (and Monitor, but we're confining it to game shows).
We're all going to turn into a bunch of Zachs if this thread goes on much longer.

I checked Wikipedia to see if anyone's hosted two on FOX, but it doesn't look like that's the case. J.D. Roth (Fox's Fun House/Unan1mous), Wayne Brady (Don't Forget the Lyrics/Celebrity Duets), and Mark Wahlberg (Moment of Truth/Temptation Island) have all hosted a game show and a reality show, but no one's got two game shows.

It's a stretch but you can make a case for Kevin Pollak. He hosted My Little Genius and hosts Million Dollar Money Drop. My Little Genius might not have aired, but Pollak did host those shows.

I prefer a better, later example with Clark. Simultaneously, he was hosting Pyramid on CBS, Bandstand on ABC, and Bloopers on NBC. Remember that this was before FOX. So he was literally on all the networks every week.
(Sorry kids -- with the way PBS does scheduling, I just can't call it a network)

You get the idea.
You can also add in syndication for the above three - Tom with Price is Right, Alex with Jeopardy and Bill with $25,000 Pyramid.
The only other one I can think of off the top of my head that would fit is Peter Tomarken (ABC Bargain Hunters, CBS Press Your Luck, NBC Hit Man, syndication Wipeout).

Eubanks would too (ABC - NEWLYWED/TRIVIA TRAP, NBC - many, CBS - CS86, synd - NEWLYWED/DIAMOND HEAD).

I always saw PBS as "non-commercial syndication." Back to the topic of the thread...
Jim Lange
ABC-The Dating Game, the weeklong Newlywed Game special in 1984
CBS-Give N Take, Spin Off

Since you mentioned PBS and Jim Lange, one of the PBS stations in Michigan (WGVU) ran "Take My Word For It" around 84-85, a few years after the initial run. I guess it qualified as somewhat educational.
