RIP Adam Rich. Enjoyed you on Eight Is Enough and Code Red.

[@Wheeloffortunefan999]

oh. I was worried that John had died

[@theodorehsu5023]

Adam also played Presto the magic user on the cartoon "Dungeons and Dragons," opposite Willie Ames, who was "Hank the Ranger."

[@brendalane9221]

Rest eternally Adam Rich….

[@AccurateCrabLegs]

John Davidson could sing the nutritional label information on a can of clam chowder and it would sound like heaven

[@darlenegoodwin]

I almost forgot about Adam Rich. RIP

[@alanh.3494]

In memory of Adam rich

[@DebraB406]

RIP Adam Rich. Wow, I didn't know he went to Washington on tour back then, as he stated on this show. I would have tried to meet him.

[@susanlifton1701]

Missing you so much Adam!!!!! My favorite childhood actor, hero and idol of mine ever since I was a little girl. Followed his work for years. I will never forget you Adam. I really wish I could have been given the chance to meet you in person. It would have been so cool and would have made an amazing memory for me. May you rest in peace

[@justincastillogayray]

[@JZCRAZY]

John Davidson has the best theme song. I always loved it!

[@alfonsogreen2722]

I use 2 like the John Davidson show. R.I.P Adam Rich

[@hiramjunior6049]

Wow. Wor back in the day , I do remember this show

[@thecraigbyrne]

Takeaways from this video: The questions to teens or preteens about their dating is a little creepy in the year 2023. Though with that said, Mindy totally seems like she had a crush on Nancy McKeon's brother.... and we now know Glenn's "girls he'd date" didn't exist (bless him, Glenn is amazing.) Kim Fields acted the most like a kid here and I'm impressed by all she has accomplished in the years since.

I’m assuming this was before The New Hollywood Squares

[@videonut1988]

Davidson also had a live band playing the theme and the guest cues as well.

[@JFD62780]

Yo, Winker! Where you getting these New York tapes from? Anyways, an awesome hour with John Davidson, years before The Squares chose him as host! :D Also, the breaks had a few assorted gems, such as the pack of St. Bernards in the Time spot; those Grand Prix shades, that actually HAVE a modern-day equivalent, in STEREO even; and the (in)famous luxury "Dream Bed" AKA a DANG expensive inflatable mattress!

[@michaelquinn8054]

RIP Adam :(

[@byronbenguche]

RIP Adam Rich

[@millenniumman75]

Oh wow, I found out about Adam Rich from this video - what a shame! This was from early 1982. Mindy would wear that sweater in a few episodes of Facts of Life.

[@Mitzi73]

John Davidson looks like he could be Native American.

[@bellantonioabraham6920]

The John Davidson Show. Air Date Monday July 26th 1982.

[@jnadle1]

Opening song: Stop and Smell the Roses - Mac Davis

[@gordonblack4920]

This is not a game show.

[@jrjgames]

Wink shares more than just game shows.

[@videonut1988]

Some hosts did stuff before they hit the game circuit. Davidson is one of those hosts before he had done the first reboot of H² (aka Hollywood Squares)
