Give or KeepExcept now, the "Give" column is now on the left so it.makes sense with the game's title, which we're rebranding to "Give or Take."
For example, if we take 1972 CBS, how might Jack Barry have done hosting Price is Right while Bob hosted The Joker's Wild? According to the Price is Right book I own Bob had wanted the Joker's Wild gig but was convinced he was a much better fit with an audience participation show such as Price...and indeed Bob was a pick from Heaven. That said, it's fun to think about how Bob might have done hosting Joker, or Gambit, while Wink might have hosted Joker (which he did on a computer or DVD game) or Price...fun to think about those possibilities.
In this scenario, Bob could have easily handled Joker or Gambit. Wink would have aced Joker probably better than Jack and I see him doing Price with little difficulty. Jack could most likely handle Gambit, but I don't see him hosting Price smoothly, not without a lot of cue cards.
Dick Clark auditioned for Gambit. Had he gotten that, someone else would have had to host Pyramid.
How about Bill Cullen?
Cullen was hosting Three on a Match when Pyramid premiered, so he wasm't available.
You said you asked Marc about auditioning for Wheel. Marc who? Summers?

I.....was not expecting this picture and now my keyboard has red wine all over it.Hurdles, with real bullets in the gun.
Considering what almost happened to Bob a few months before they nixed the game, I'm sure there are a few fanbois who'd love to try that with Drew.
Penny Ante. It's a fun, quick game that allows more time for longer pricing games.
