Welcome to @ The Buzzr. If your area doesn't have Buzzr, don't worry. We have something to give it to you as an alternative. That'll happen after I return.

We told you what Merv Griffin is known for and you all chose Wheel by just a slim margin. We'll have another one after I tell you about this alternative.

Welcome to @ The Buzzr.  


Before he created Wheel and Jeopardy......he was a host. That's right, a host, and we'll prove to you who he is once I return.

We asked you which team would you be on Choose up Sides and neither one answered. Maybe I'll try a different question after......Play Your Hunch. 








Before he did a talk show, future game show creator Merv Griffin did Play Your Hunch. 


Two couples (or occasionally pairs with other relationships) competed. The game revolved around "problems" which involved a choice between three visible possibilities (often three people) which were always labeled X, Y, and Z. Some questions would have an element of observation; for example, one couple was asked which of three labeled musicians amongst the show's band was not playing his instrument and was merely pretending. Other problems depended mainly on luck in guessing correctly.
The teams were alternatively presented with problems and had the choice to play or pass after the choices were unveiled but before the problem was described. The couple who played the problem discussed the answer amongst themselves until a chime rang and the couple had to answer. If the couple was wrong, the opponents had the choice between the remaining two answers. If either couple got the right answer, they earned a point, with three points winning the game. In addition, each team earned $50 a point ($100 a point on NBC's primetime edition). At least once every show, the couples would also have to solve a "come-closer" problem, which involved coming up with a numerical answer to a problem by writing their answer on a slate (example: how many coffee beans in a displayed container); the teams would then reveal their slates, and the team who guessed closer to the actual answer would score a point.
Couples remained on the show as champions until they were defeated, with the first question of each game going to the challengers.


Now play this Buzzr beater question. What do you think Merv Griffin is known for? You get 2 weeks to decide on that.

Welcome to @ The Buzzr.  

(song stops)





This past Saturday, we lost a game show legend. A dealer before Wayne Brady. 


Born in Canada, Monty Hall did work in his homeland and went to New York to continue his work like....




And Video Village.





But he's been known for Let's Make a Deal. 




Again in 1980....




1984......




in 1990 when Bob hilton left....





And a few appearances in 2003 and in the current version.


He also hosted Split Second in 1986.....



It's Anybody's Guess in 1977....






And his only gig with Goodson-Todman, Beat The Clock in 1979.






But he was also an actor and humanitarian too and joins Howie Mandel and Alex Trebek to be in Canada's Walk of Fame. 


@ The Buzzr would like to send our condolences to TV's big Dealer. He may be gone, but Wayne & Company keep the spirit on. Thanks for reading.
