I remember this on ABC in Providence RI on WPRI 12 when they were an ABC affiliate! Just like Match Game early 1990’s,ABC affiliates were very finicky with game shows.
Probably because production moved to Vancouver and under CANCON regulations they had to have a Canadian with an onscreen role so Jennifer Lyall was brought in to do that.
3 theories on based around the fact production moved to Vancouver: 1) He wasn't willing to travel to Vancouver 2) He wasn't available to travel to Vancouver 3) They had to meet CANCON regulations, so they hired on Jennifer Lyall to be an on-screen announcer.
What does everybody want? THE LAST WORD!!!! Now,ready to play the game where the last word is everything,our players! (insert player contestant name here) and his/her celebrity partner,(insert celebrity name here). And,(insert contestant name here) and his/her celebrity partner,(insert celebrity name here). Now,here are two good words to get us started,WINK MARTINDALE!!!!!!!!
Those flashing squares remind me of Press your luck

That "Family Feud" buzzer didn't sound.
I wonder why Burton Richardson didn't get the announcing job?

why did this move to vancoover
It was cheaper.
The Wheel of Fortune letter turner sued for copyright infringement and the settlement paid out bankrupted the company.
@@MrMatteNWk "The Wheel of Fortune letter turner..." You mean Vanna White? XD
say didnt tony win on the 50k pyrmaid
Maybe. Contestants have gone on to other game shows.
He did indeed...also appeared on Scrabble in 1987, Now You See It in 1989, and an unsold 1990 pilot for Gambit.
Awkward version of Chain Reaction
I wish gsn would have a show like this
Very weak format. Looks like variants of something Bob Stewart tried multiple times. Surprised it sold.
Terrible, but it got picked up anyway for a brief 13-week run somehow.
I liked it.
They should bring it back
Wait......it was cancelled????

@@andrewschroy6368ABC was very finicky with game shows! This was basically forced on them and many affiliates preempted game shows.
