The few things I remember from this game show was that the contestants got to stay at the Inn on the Park along the Don Valley in Toronto, don't think it's in operation anymore, and also those wallets with the velcro that each player had to open in the game! LOL! Great memories.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Each one of these 15 Players is holding an Envelope with a Riddle Inside. Only One Player has the "Jackpot Riddle", that could be worth Thousands of Dollars. At any Moment, Someone in the Game will Stand up and yell... "JACKPOT!!"
And Now, Here's our Host, Geoff Edwards!

@funboy7979 The "Shoot For The Stars" concept was revived as "Double Talk" on ABC in the mid 1980s with Henry Polic II as the host.

How was the experience being on a game show?

Theme from the 1982 pilot "Twisters" starring Jim Perry.
I recall Jackpot back in the 80's and was wondering was this Mike Darrow's only show? Sort of a one game show wonder, so to speak. Awesome theme music.
