@@DeadPool-XF all the major hosts have done that. Alex Trebek did and Pat Sajak hosted that particular episode of Jeopardy! and vice-versa on WOF, Tom Kennedy and Bob Barker, swapped times of day on TPIR once, Dick Clark swapped with Bill Cullen and much later Donny Osmond on their respective versions of the Pyramid. Drew Carey changed from model to contestant at least once on TPIR under his command
My only gripe is that he seemed a bit loud when repeating the clue in the Sprint round. Chuck repeats it in more of a mumble. Marc was more startling, imo.
Had Card Sharks dealer Suzannah Williams made a cameo during that week or episode anyway, there would have been two mini game show reunions: Bill Rafferty (Card Sharks, Syndicated, 1986 - 1987) and also, John Davidson & Charlie Tuna (Time Machine, NBC, 1985).
@@Gmaspoiledbrat Or maybe Fremantle will teaming up with Hasbro’s own Entertainment One (eOne) to get the rights to this classic 80’s game show. I love the show, and I still have the regular board game and TV Scrabble.
@Gmaspoiledbrat or GSN could license it like they have with other Freemantle owned properties back in the day. I doubt they would tho. GSN has been more focused on creating their own content in-house. I don't even watch GSN anymore as i see it as a shell of it's former self. Buzzr is my go to.
This was the first time I ever saw Marc Summers wearing a suit. On Double Dare, he wore a suit jacket, shirt, tie and jeans. On Couch Potatoes, he wore sweaters and (I believe) slacks.
Nickelodeon could have done this version of Scrabble or the Pyramid back in the day abd a good chance of succeeding, both had kids tournaments so no need for a pilot. Both Chuck Woolery and Dick Clark hosted them so no need for kid-friendly hosts
I would have loved seeing and hearing Harvey announce the game show when Marc took over as host! THAT would have been historically epic-especially for 80s kids like myself!
Daytime TV on ABC and NBC for the most part has been crap since game shows haven't been on on daytime. NBC revive Scrabble and Concentration, ABC should revive two game shows during the day use Press Your Luck and maybe Card Sharks since they are on prime time during the summer on ABC.
I was in the audience of a taping of Scrabble in 1984. By the show’s end, we still could not figure why this game was called Scrabble. It bore not the slightest resemblance to the legendary board game. The name was attached to it as a promotional move, no doubt.
It is. The syndie Card Sharks that Bill Rafferty hosted was just concluding, Peter Tomarken was hosting Bargain Hunters, Tom Kennedy’s penultimate regular series Wordplay was about to finish its run.
Charlie Tuna would said... The host of Scrabble, Chuck Woolery. And the host of Time Machine, John Davidson. Wish Time Machine should have stayed on the air.
I wonder what Chuck would have said if they had invited Pat Sajak to play , and he had to play against him?
That would have been something
@@jessyleppert2 that would have been something alright. something *AWKWARD*
@@disneydanny2 hjyhvhf f h
I hope a WHEEL is involved.
@@tonyarceneaux286 I see what you did there
Marc Summers was a vastly underrated MC
He’s a hero of mine
I love how Chuck told John to guess burritos, mostly as a joke; and then later when it was Chuck’s turn, it ended up being the correct word XD
$500 well won!!!
Chuck being a contestant on his own game show! LOL.
That makes me laugh

It was awesome to see Marc Summers taking over as host while Chuck Woolery played as the contestant.
One of the funniest episodes. That clue for burritos is no lie. LOL
NBC Should revive this show with Marc Summers as host, he does a great job on this show. Bring back Scrabble and Concentration
Yes he did! I think if they brought back Concentration (unlikely as it may be), he would be a perfect choice.
I would 💕 if they brought both cc and scrabble back
I really wish that this show would be rebooted. I always watched it when I was kid.
I thought Marc Summers did a great job hosting this show!
I would've loved to see him play too
Pernell Harrison I don't think he did. All he did was host when Chuck played
I agree he did a good job, he have hosting skills since he hosts Double Dare
My only gripe is that he seemed a bit loud when repeating the clue in the Sprint round. Chuck repeats it in more of a mumble. Marc was more startling, imo.
He did!
Chuck's first play... "I'll try the 'X'" [BEWWW!] *facepalms* Laugh out loud... too funny!
Marc Summers got a thumbs up.
This show needs to come back. It looked like fun.
That's up to Hasbro Studios to decide
Won't feel the same
@@tiffanymorgan6562 unfortunately, i agree. Chuck's gotten up there in years
I greatly enjoyed watching this video. I also cracked up at the entire Burritos clip.

Chuck Woolerly a great host legend.
Thanks for the memories.
i like game shows like this where the famous game show host playing
Marc Summers was practically a child hosting at this time
This Show Needs To Be On GSN or Buzzr, This Show's A Classic My Brother Grigor Loves Scrabble.
It depends if Hasbro would allow it. It would be on Buzzr since Frementle owns Reg Grundy Productions.

He later wore suits hosting History IQ (with Harvey announcing) and WinTuition (with Burton Richardson announcing).
@@erikbunty2016 Yep! He sure did! I remember that show.
Marc Summers substituted Chuck Woolery, for this game show.
I remember Marc Summers from Double Dare on Nickelodeon. Used to watch that show all the time. Double Dare 2000 was also great
Nuh uh! #DoubleDare2000 wasn't as much fun to watch without the #DDOGs!
Nickelodeon could have done this version of Scrabble or the Pyramid back in the day abd a good chance of succeeding, both had kids tournaments so no need for a pilot. Both Chuck Woolery and Dick Clark hosted them so no need for kid-friendly hosts
Tom Kennedy just finished hosting Wordplay on NBC.
This was.....delightful.
James Edward Narz (February 26, 1927 - October 7, 2020), known professionally as Tom Kennedy,
I thought Tom got it with lightbulb, but I was shocked.
Charlie Tuna and John Davidson had a 'Time Machine' reunion on Scrabble.
Yes!!!!!!
RIP, Bill Rafferty and Tom Kennedy.
celebs on gameshows have such smart mouths i like it!
It would have been cool if Harvey would have announced on this episode.
If it wasn't for his OCD he would've been the host of Hollywood Squares.
I would have loved seeing and hearing Harvey announce the game show when Marc took over as host! THAT would have been historically epic-especially for 80s kids like myself!
These game show host episodes something special huh.
He was a real Zero... Mostel.....Amazing!!!
RIGHT!? That was a total WTF moment!! And I'm GOOD at this.
@@TonyTheTGR ZERO Mostel was way before our time, that's why Chuck knew it.
Why don't they bring these old games back? I know alot of people who would watch..

The infamous "Burritos" episode...
Marc Summers subsituted for Chuck Woolery.
+Paul LaRue That's because Chuck Woolery was a contestant!
Ultimate23Dragon More like the infamous Burritos “moment”
13:20 Chuck: Let me try the “W.” 😅 POW 💥 Stopper!
6:01 get out! (I don't know)🤣🤣🤣🤣 11:09 Shut up, Chuck!🤣🤣🤣🤣 15:05 UM!🤣🤣🤣🤣 20:23 Huskies!
At the end of this episode, every game show hosts were there, but where's John Davidson?
R i p Tom
And Bill (Rafferty).
I totally tried to find a pic of John Davidson's Sears catalog modeling. No luck.
It is from 1987, 12/25/87 was the last day for end of show fee plugs on NBC game shows until 1/18/93 when the 1993 Scrabble and Scattergories debuted.
ZERO MOSTEL? Waaaay before my time
10:05 “1959 I’m In There In My BDD”🤣
10:08 Hahahahahahahaha!🤣
John Davidson looks like a young Eric Bischoff lol
Holy FUCK !! Your right , DAMN!!
John Edwards as well
He’s back...and BETTER THAN EVER!!
I swear. The second word with the clue "Men tease women with them" with a 5 letter word that ends with "S." My guess was "penis." No joke
Depending on your mindset and the time in your life, that makes sense. But back in the 80s, you had glam rockers and teased out hair
What would you say if they placed the C and O first ?
C 0 _ _ S
@6:11, Why did Scrabble has 4 sets of TILE Racks?
Jack Narz, who was living at the time hoped that he saw his brother, Tom Kennedy's appearances on Scrabble?
I wonder if Marc Summers would consider hosting again
He has some health issues from cancer.
Oh we all know what he thought at 4:30.
Was this before the Blockbusters revival? Anyone know?
Shortly after the Blockbusters revival.
@11:01, Marc, you can either host this, or take the physical challenge?
Host this!
Try "BURRITOS"!
SHUT UP CHUCK!
Elevator operator?

Anyone notice all the names in the envelopes were women? Good times
B and an m, a hint?
BURRITOS
Isn't this 1987?
I guess! I was in Jr. High School, when that episode was on Channel 4.
I was born in 1987.
@@paullarue2010 Channel 4 was NBC in quite a few places. I saw this on WNBC in New York.
It is. The syndie Card Sharks that Bill Rafferty hosted was just concluding, Peter Tomarken was hosting Bargain Hunters, Tom Kennedy’s penultimate regular series Wordplay was about to finish its run.
Chuck was really funny on this game show
Is this the only celebrity tournament in which celebs don't give winnings to charity?
I think it was one of the first ones they ever did.
I like this better because it goes directly to one person.
The answer was not JOHN Davidson. It was DAVIDSON.
Charlie Tuna would said...
The host of Scrabble, Chuck Woolery. And the host of Time Machine, John Davidson. Wish Time Machine should have stayed on the air.
But Time Machine proved to be no match against $25,000 Pyramid, and the ratings showed.
