RIP Howard Morton.

Can't believe GSN is actually gonna show this episode come tomorrow.

And speaking of which, I really enjoyed the first 4 episodes of Barbara. I especially liked the 4th one, where Dick Clark was under the impression that the men won, but instead, they were going to go into a tiebreaker.

Look for Barbara Schnell to start her 5-day run on August 7, with Anne Bloom & Michael Spound.

Johnny Gilbert is by far my all-time favorite announcer, especially on The $25,000 Pyramid. From all his years on Jeopardy!, he has an air of "epicness", which is perfect for an epic game show like this!

[gameshowluvr86]

Haha... Can I get an "amen"? ;-)

[barber215]

yes, he is a great announcer. but i think my favorite announcer is the late Rod Roddy. he had that feel of announcing and has done lots of shows

I remember this aired on WCBS in New York City at 10AM ET, and KCBS in Los Angeles at 9AM PT.

***3,000 VIEWS!!*** KICK ASS!!

I remember one time rod roddy from the price is right filled in.

[gameshowluvr86]

Me too! He filled in for Jack Clark in 1984.

From what I've heard both the $25,000 and $100,000 Pyramid had many announcers from Johnny Gilbert to Bob Hilton and even Charlie O'Donnell. I only remember Johnny Gilbert.

[feudfan55]

did this come off of CBS?

[gameshowluvr86]

Yup yup.

Wow Patti SMith as a contestant; I wonder if she plays any instruments. It's Patti Patti vs. Barbra Howard (not such a memorable team name). Everyone seems to be playing well; even though Howard does do it with a little humor injected into it.

[vnisanian2001]

Celebrities in the flashback intros:

1) Heidi Bohay (I think)

2) Earl Holliman (Looks like him, especially after looking at that one flashback clip in the opening to a 1984 episode with Vick Lawrence & Michael J. Fox).

[PriceRight89]

Yes, the second one was Earl Holliman.
