@FutureNewsAnchor Well, he was put in as host when Gordon Elliott was let go. He was let go because of a contract dispute with his former employers, according to the Wikipedia article. Swann himself would soon leave due to scheduling conflicts with ABC Sports. He was replaced by Alex Trebek for the rest of the show's run.
Wait a moment, how was Swanny allowed to host this program, an NBC show, even though he was also employed by ABC Sports at the time? (He was doing college football games back then.)

It's great the video has both Peggy Cass and Kitty Carlisle. Love them both as panelists.

Nice to see this video again. We have an old VHS somewhere that we recorded it on. Jimmy Brennan is my great uncle. One heck of a guy.
