It was hosted by Geoff Edwards, with Johnny Jacobs announcing. The series was the first national game show hosted by Edwards.
The program aired at 3:30 p.m./2:30 Central time, opposite ABC's One Life to Live (then still a 30-minute show) and NBC's Return to Peyton Place.
Edwards once said that while hosting this series, he had a tenuous working relationship with Jack Barry. Edwards recalled Barry saying, "You know, you have a really annoying voice. Can you do something about that?" Edwards responded with, "Jack, I have a contract for 13 weeks. At the end of 13 weeks, don't renew it and don't come into my dressing room again."[1] It was not until 1980 that Edwards would host another Barry & Enright game, Play the Percentages.
