The Pop 'n Rocker Game: Mario vs. Donna vs. Mykul

[@kingporter67]

Excellent Pop N Rocker game classic!!

When this show was on the air, Jon Bauman was also the co-host(with Gene Rayburn) of "The Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour" on NBC. Rayburn hosted the Match Game portion and Bauman was the Hollywood Squares host.

WOW. I remember this game show. Jon Bauman was a really good host. I wish someone would post the episode that had X, though. As for this show, I'd never before heard of Jack Mack & The Heart Attack, but they were damn good. As for.The Commodores, it's always great seeing them - even without Lionel Richie - however, why they decided to do this snooze-fest Easy Listening ballad on a show called "The Pop 'N Rocker" is beyond me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Jack Mack and the Heart Attack was also the house band for The Late Show with Ross Shafer in 1988

I don't know why they'd shoot this program at ABC in LA even though it was for syndication. They should've shot it at Metromedia Square (some of another ALP show, Gimme a Break). If so, the tech staff could've been: Unit Manager PATTY GARY Technical Director VINCE MACK Lighting Director KEN WILCOX Audio SAM MOLLAUN Video OSSIE DIPAOLO Cameras TOM CONKRIGHT, MARTIN GOLDSTEIN, BETTINA MYLENEK, VINCE SINGLETARY, DENNIS TURNER

I think they should have given Mykul the $100 from the countdown round, i mean yeah he didn't buzz in but he was the only one eligible, so it shouldn't matter.

In New York This came on after American Banstand on Saturday's if i remember correctly .

Wow Mario!!!!

[@BrandonHanson30]

The announcer sounds like Rod Roddy. Is it him, or is it someone else?

Phil Hartman

[@boilermaker2006]

This episode, the announcer was actor Phil Hartman!!!!!!

[@bobthebear1246]

Jon Bauman even references him by name!!

[@MrMatteNWk]

@@boilermaker2006 You may remember him from such game shows as "The Krusty the Clown Screen Test" and "Press Your Spunk"

[@andrewschroy6368]

@@MrMatteNWk And the latter show was hosted by screen great Troy McClure! XD Speaking of announcers, I wonder if any episodes of Pop 'n Rocker with M.G. Kelly in the booth exist on the circuit? If his announcing on Wheel was anything to go by, I can't imagine him being as over-the-top as Phil was.
