I think this was the only show Jack did wearing shades.

If I were to see any of Jack Barry's BTB shows, it would've been on Channel 5, WNEW, Saturday Nights at 6PM, after "Mission: Impossible."

@nextbarker You know it wasn't. He would later host "The Joker's Wild" until 1984.

Jack looks so hip with those shades on :) Never seen his version. GSN always seemed to prefer the Tom Kennedy hosted version. Thanks for uploading this show.

@bluebear1985 Yes, but that was okay.

@sugarbear522 Indeed!

@oldtimeteevee Actually, I can explain - this is the syndicated weekly nighttime edition of Break the Bank, which Jack hosted from 1976-77. The daytime version on ABC was hosted by Tom Kennedy from April to July 1976, and the reason it was short-lived was because the network brass decided to expand One Life to Live and General Hospital to 45 minutes each. So, network politics killed the original show.

Vicki Lawrence, Nipsey Russell, Bob Barker, and Jimmie Walker all on the same show? SWEET!!! :-)

This has to be somewhere around 76-77, correct? This would be about 5 years into TPIR on CBS which started in 72. How is Barker able to go do an ABC show as the host of a top CBS show? They'd never allow that now would they? I can understand him doing MG and Tattetales on CBS, but ABC????
