@KaceCC2 Well, apparently, ABC wasn't interested in Rayburn hosting due to his age. Bert Convy actually hosted the pilot for this version, but he was forced to back out due to being diagnosed with a brain tumour. He died from it shortly after this version was cancelled.
I would have gone with Bambi for that 1st question.
