Title: Hosts pluuging their new shows on other game shows
Post by: Ryan_Conley194 on September 30, 2005, 11:07:16 PM
Hi, I recently went to Mr. City's website and I saw Bill Cullen and Bert Convy plug Child's Play and Tattletales on TPiR.  What I want to know is were there any other shows that had hosts from different game shows plug their new series?

I'll help you a little bit. Ray Combs went on Card Sharks to plug his version of Family Feud, Bob Eubanks went on Card Sharks to plug All-Star Secrets and Art Fleming appeared on The New High Rollers to plug the late 70s version of Jeopardy!
I know there are others, but I find those last two rather interesting.

Hi, I recently went to Mr. City's website and I saw Bill Cullen and Bert Convy plug Child's Play and Tattletales on TPiR.

I'm sure many of us (including moi) have in their video collections, the Match Game '74 installment where Convy made an unannounced appearence to plug Tattletales. And here's a few other examples:

Jack Narz plugging Now You See It during his week as a TT guest. (He plugged it eight times!)

Chuck Woolery appearing on Celebrity Sweepstakes to promote some show entitled Wheel of Fortune.

In 1971, Jack Barry made a brief visit to The Newlywed Game to promote The Reel Game.

And here's an item we may have forgotten, Vin Scully "came on down" on TPiR to plug his short-lived talk show in 1973. (I thought he was gonna be an actual contestant on the show!)

Cordially,
Tammy Warner--the 'Renee Roy of the Big Board!'

Tom Kennedy went on Blockbusters to plug Password + inside one of the hexagons and Ray Combs also went on TPIR to plug Feud also ("These are Barker's Beauties, get your own Combs' Cuties!").

One I've always liked was Tom Kennedy appearing on the first Stumpers to plug his new show 50 Grand Slam; and Allen Ludden appearing on the first 50 Grand Slam (which premiered immediately after Stumpers) to plug his new show Stumpers - and to wish each other luck.  Fortunately, a lot of us have those shows in our collections.  Unfortanately, both shows were cancelled on New Year's Eve 1976, after just 13 weeks on the air.

I remember Vin's plug for his talk show on TPIR.  He also did a week of You Don't Say! with Amanda Blake as the other celebrity, and on all shows (presumably; I only saw Monday and Friday's shows) Tom Kennedy mentioned the upcoming It Takes Two which Scully would host.

There's a pic of Monty visiting Mike Darow's"Dream House" in the encyclopedia.  Off topic but, can anyone confirm that Kelly Lange went on MMM to plug "Take My Advice"?

Did Tomarken ever plug Press Your Luck on The Price is Right or any other CBS game show that was on at the time?

I believe I once saw on a MG webpage that Jack Narz randomly appeared on MG to promote NYSI, but I could be wrong.

He didn't just show up to plug Now You See It.  Jack was a panelist for an entire week in '74.

I can't confirm it with 100 percent certainty, but I do seem to remember that happening.  Odd, since Take My Advice replaced MMM, for a couple of weeks anyway.

Barker has made references to the Cullen show on rare occasions, but he didn't mention Cullen's hosting of the original TPIR during Cullen's 1982 appearance.

Bob Goen did promote Blackout when he surprised Bob Eubanks on Card Sharks, coming out as a contestant during the kids week.

Allen Ludden promoted Stumpers! on 50 Grand Slam (hosted by Tom Kennedy) & Kennedy returned the favor promoting 50 Grand Slam on Allen Ludden's show, Stumpers!

When Pat Sajak called out Vanna White to come out of the curtain, out came Betty White, promoting her show.

More from my Cullen files:

Bill appeared on Concentration to plug his Three on a Match.

Geoff Edwards appeared with Bill on Three on Match to plug his Jackpot.

This goes back a way:  Roger Price appeared with Bill on Bank on the Stars to plug his Droodles.

Most recently, didn't Donny Osmond make an appearance on the Wheel set. I don't remember if he was plugging Pyramid, maybe someone can confirm?

Personally, I don't think I ever saw that one, but Kelly did do two weeks of Celebrity Sweepstakes right around the time Take My Advice debuted.

IIRC, he appeared during "Pyramid"'s second season and mentioned the show.

I know that Dickie Dawson didn't promote All-Star Blitz, but he did make a joke reference about him visiting Peter Marshall and All-Star Blitz.

Apparently Dawson managed to reference/criticize every other game show on the air. I know he brought up Card Sharks, Trivia Trap, All-Star Blitz, Whew!, TPIR, Match Game, am I missing anything?

Correct, but he actually appeared during its 1st season...not long after the premiere, in fact.

NBC loved having their stars appear on the daytime game shows in general.  With the exception of "Squares" and any other celeb shows, there are lots of instances of net stars doing a walk-on to plug their shows, even on "J!" (although with the contestants no doubt silently fuming at two minutes of game time being taken away for Art Fleming glad-handing some third-billed star of a bomb sitcom).  Nothing pops out right now, except for the British entertainer Des O'Connor, who was the summer replacement for the "Kraft Music Hall" for many years with a show produced by ATV and shot at Elstree, doing his "I Say I Say" bit with Bob Clayton on "Concentration."  (For those who don't remember, this music hall bit had O'Connor ready to give some sort of recitation and forever being interrupted with an "I Say, I Say" by various persons with cornball jokes.)

Peter Tomarken (and The whammy) didn't actually actually appear on $25,000 Pyramid but I do remember a cute commercial promoting PYL with Dick Clark & Peter Tomarken where Dick advises us to watch this great new show with the talented new TV personality.... (as Peter is looking smugly ready to be introduced) when Dick says ..."The Whammy' (Who then jumps out on his pogo stick!)

I also remember Jack Narz promoting Now You see It's 1975 rule change on Match Game'75 ...hiding under the first panelists seat. I even remember the question went something like someone got their ______ stuck in a jar and jack had a card ready with the word WATCH... which then had other cards taped and folded behind reading "WATCH-NOW-YOU-SEE-IT". He discussed the rule change and said they will have more winners. (This is when the games started to  straddle on NYSI.)
He was not a guest during the promotion I remember. It also promted another panelist (Brett maybe? --I think it was Richard???) to say "Wait till you see who's under my seat".
