--- Quote ---Believe it or not, that WAS the actual reason. During the 1983 and 1984 season, $ale was looking for an identity with the daytime audience of the new decade and loaded the \"Fame Game\" with NBC personalities who were starring on popular shows at that time. This was an ideal way of promoting other NBC shows without bugs and splitscreens (Hear that, NBC?).  One paint job and cash jackpot later, the faces were replaced with numbers.

Didn't they at one point use celebrities from non-NBC shows? I thought I saw on someone's page, a cast member from \"Falcon Crest,\" which was CBS.

Yep...David Selby, to be specific...I also saw Peter Pan(!) on the board, being a \"cast member\" of Walt Disney, which also aired on CBS at the time.
