    In regards to #8, Kirstie Alley would later appear on the panel of the Alec Baldwin version of "Match Game", during which they showed a brief clip of her as a contestant from years earlier.
    She also appeared on "Password Plus" in 1980(?) with host Allen Ludden. The celebrities on the show the week she was there were Dick Martin and Lucille Ball. She went home with $800 from that show.

    Honorable mentions:
    1. Bryan Cranston (The Dating Game)
    2. Reynaldo Rey (Match Game). He was an actor and comedian who appeared in films such as Friday, White Men Can't Jump, Harlem Nights, and House Party 3. He also appeared in TV shows such a 227 and BET Comicview.
    3. Rico Constantino (American Gladiators). If you're a WWE fan, then you probably remember Rico. He was in the WWE from 1998 to 2004 as both a wrestler and manager.

    • @dhenderson1810

      Rico was also a NY cop before becoming a wrestler.
      He was famous for calling out "Damn it, Jeff" during a tag-team match when Jeff Hardy botched a move on him, and you could hear him say it on the telecast (it was at a PPV).
