Blockbusters. Bob Hilton announced regularly on the 1980-82 Bill Cullen run, and the late Rich Jeffries announced the entire 1987 Bill Rafferty run.

2) How many hosts can you name that have hosted at least 3 completely different G-T shows? (pilots do not count)

Alex Trebek is one. He hosted Double Dare (1976-77), To Tell The Truth (1990-91), and Classic Concentration (1987-91).

Bill Cullen is another. He hosted the original run of The Price is Right, as well as Blockbusters (1980-82) and Child's Play (1982-83). Cullen also sub-hosted on Password Plus for a month.

Not sure what other hosts emceed on 3 or more different G-T shows.

3) Who is the only host to have hosted two G-T network (daytime) game shows at the same time?

Alex Trebek. He hosted [I]To Tell The Truth[I] and Classic Concentration simultaneously in 1991, even for just a few weeks. Oddly enough, they both aired on NBC.

4) The Price is Right is the longest running G-T show at 40 seasons. What G-T show is the second longest running?

If you're talking consecutive run, it may be a far cry, but I think it's Richard Dawson's Family Feud, which ran for 9 years from 1976 to 1985.

I believe it's Trivia Trap. It was an original concept, debuted on ABC in 1984.

Johnny Olson. He had 21 G-T game shows on his resume, while Gene Wood announced on 17 G-T game shows.

The Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour. Gene Rayburn hosted the Match Game half, while Jon Bauman hosted the Hollywood Squares half.

8) Bob Barker holds the record for hosting one show the longest, 35 consecutive years on the Price is Right. Which host is second?

Richard Dawson hosted Family Feud for 9 years. Despite being a far cry, he gets the silver medal for hosting a single game show the second longest in rank.

Jack Narz and Tom Kennedy were brothers (Jack being the elder to Tom), and Bill Cullen was Jack's and Tom's former brother-in-law.

On question 4: In think the 2nd longest running show (consecutive years is either "Concentration" or "What's My Line?")
On question 6: I think its Gene Wood
On question 7: The other show that had two hosts (The Better Sex with Bill Anderson and Sarah Purcell)
If I am wrong on any of these, someone correct me.
