Jackpot (30.09.1985) Series premiere

[@jimt.626]

One of my favorite game shows. This plus Super Pay Cards

[@tnawcwvictoria]

Yes, USA Network had an association with Canada The Return of Jackpot from 1985-1988, The NEW Chain Reaction from 1986-1991 and Bumper Stumpers from 1987-1990

[@PREGO1966]

Actually USA Network had the relationship with "Global Television" in Canada not "with Canada" specifically.

[@drewconway7135]

I love this show! It's a rare Canadian game show that gives out decent prizes like trips to Greece, while shows like "Definition" were giving out pens and briefcases as "grand prizes."

[@ChuckD79]

And it got better in S2 when they began offering a new car to any player who could successfully "run the board", plus adding the $10K Riddler Contest!

[@tnawcwvictoria]

This was Jackpot's 1st show in 10 years since it left NBC Daytime in 1975

[@aaronbruceladner1983]

Ken Ryan was Also the Announcer on BUMPER STUMPERS

[@devares2006]

And the voiceover for Global as well as the voice of Bulletproof Vess on C.O.P.S.

[@PREGO1966]

You could say "would be", Aaron. Bumper Stumpers came out after Jackpot

[@Nickrj3]

If this was later, I think Lauren would’ve taken the last riddle to try for a new car.

[@nextbarker2702]

I believe the King of the Hill prop is from the Pyramid's WC.

[@SaleGuy]

80s Pyramid buzzer at 9:55

[@johnnysama]

And the same ding @ 10:24.

[@aaronbruceladner1983]

That Same Buzzer was on BUMPER STUMPERS

[@parliboy]

Budget was partially funded by US partners, thus the increased budget.

[@sactoindyfan]

This game was so G lol 😂

[@ABCEasyas--]

This show is rated TV-G, if it reran on Buzzr or GSN

[@darcyann66]

Thank you for all the great uploads of game shows

[@paullarue2010]

Queen of the Hill?

[@PREGO1966]

Mike called everyone generically "King" at first then eventually called female contestants "Queen" of the hill

[@Sean-q2x]

Men are kings of the hill and women are Queens of the Hill.Nipsey and Mike are the ones who got that right,but Geoff tried,though he called every woman Kings of the hill just like the men ,but I guess that's okay,nobody's perfect,not even game show hosts.

[@PREGO1966]

@@Sean-q2x you should say Geoff called everyone King in 1989. When he hosted to the original show from 1974-1975, the term was "expert"

[@Sean-q2x]

Kindly don't tell me what to say.I say again,MEN are KINGS of the Hill and Women are Queens of the Hill.

[@Sean-q2x]

They used to say,"Here is my clue ,very corny,until they changed it to "Here is my riddle".How many different colored wallets were they on these Jackpot versions?
