It's too bad Tom Kennedy couldn't return for this version. The reason he couldn't return was because he was hosting Name That Tune at the time, which was also syndicated.
@meyerj75 There's a recording of that block that's been on the trading circuit for a while- I was surprised that it aired in prime time, I thought WPIX always showed movies then?
@meyerj75 - It was actually TTD at 8, YDS at 8:30, LMaD reruns at 9, and Garagiola's TTTT (not Liar's Club) at 9:30...the Garagiola eps had gone unseen in the NY market until that point.
FYI, The 1978 version of "You Don't Say" was part of a 2 hour block of game shows between 8-10 PM on WPIX TV 11Alive in New York starting in 1978 along with Liar's Club, (The New) Tic Tac Dough, and Let's Make A Deal '71-'77. It didn't last that long considering that WPIX competed against the network's prime time schedule while another station WOR-TV 9 competed between 6-8 PM with "The Joker's Wild", "The Dating and Newlywed Game", and the completely forgotten "Bowling for Dollars".
The syndicated You Don't Say! was not widely seen, especially in Minneapolis and that's why it didn't last very long. I thought the original version with Tom Kennedy was the best incarnation and it's a show that should be revived someday.
What a Blast From the Past! It seems people like Nipsey Russell and Mitzi McCall/Charlie Brill (a real life couple) were all over the place when it came to 1970's game shows. I had NO idea that there ever was a nightime version "You Don't Say" until I saw this clip. I only recall the 60's daytime version with Tom Kennedy. THANKS for sharing this gem with us!

Love this show! Please upload more! Peck was good, but Kennedy was better.
