| rdfs:comment | - Game Show first produced for KTLA (local Los Angeles television) by Desilu, hosted by Jack Barry. It was later acquired by producers Ralph Andrews and Bill Yaggemann, and moved to NBC from 1963-69. It was a word association game like Password, except the catch was to identify names of famous people or places. Two teams, each of a celebrity and a civilian, communicated the names by forming a sentence with the last word missing. That word could sound like, but not spelled like, part of the name. Each team had up to two attempts to communicate the name. Doing so scored a point, with three winning the game.

The show was revived on ABC in July-November 1975, and used a larger format: now, four celebrity panelists alternated giving clues to two contestants, with correct guesses worth money starting at $250 for the first clue and ending at $50 for four clues. The first to get $500 won. The last run was in daily syndication for six months in 1978-79, hosted by Jim Peck.
