Why did Pyramid announcers share duties?

Why did Pyramid have so many announcers do the show at the same time? It's a rather unorthodox practice. Was it Bob Stewart's idea? And why didn't the 2002 version have other announcers besides John Cramer.

I noticed that. Over the years, like The Newlywed Game it had many different announces in its years.

Jack Clark did the LA episodes in 1973, but for the most part during the 70's Bob Clayton did the announcing. I know the thing with rotating announcers started on the Bob Stewart-produced episodes pretty much after Bob Clayton died in 1979. It's just something I've noticed when watching any available shows from the last 2 years of $20k, and it obviously continued into the other future versions. That could possibly have something to do with it.

Different people were in charge of Donnymid, so that might explain why that version just settled on one announcer. The main person in charge may have just wanted to have one person doing the job.

GSN should release their version of $100,000 Pyramid on the anniversary that $10,000 Pyramid started, which I believe the 40th anniversary just passed (1973)
