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.
