Scrabble - John Davidson/Peter Tomarken, Chuck Woolery/Jamie Farr (Nov. 9, 1987)

Game Show Week on NBC's Scrabble with TV's favorite hosts. Chuck Woolery hosts, except when he plays, where Marc Summers substitute hosts.

Marc said in an interview that he wasn't allowed to play because he was told by production "he wasn't a real host". However, the producers needed someone to host when Chuck played so they allowed him to do that. Marc had worked with Reg Grundy Productions before doing some announcing work.

Specifically, he wasn’t viewed as well known enough to be one of “your favorite game show hosts”. But he was far happier to be able to host on network TV than play the game.

Marc Summers was an announcer on the Grundy game show "Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak."

Now that's funny. Because Jamie Farr wasn't a real host either. His show "Double Up" was never picked up. He was a sub on "Wordplay."

@@UrsusTheodorusdoesGameShows John Davidson hosted and Charlie Tuna announced for another Grundy game show "Time Machine."

Fact: On "Time Machine", John Davidson's wardrobe also furnished by Pierre Cardin.

I see a finger pointed to the RG logo at the end.

18:42 Jamie’s reaction is hilarious

[@wschmrdr]

Marc did a pretty good job with this. Didn't he also substitute host during a bereavement period, or was it just this week?

[@mikeyhetrick]

Just this week I believe.

Peter somehow looks annoyed in this episode
