File:1975 Showoffs game show pilot clip

Description
A clip of the 1975 Showoffs game show pilot. In the pilot you'll hear 2 brief voices of Showoffs pilot host Larry Blyden. (You can learn more about the 1975 Showoffs pilot on Michael Berger's Game Show Pilot Light website)

When the game show went to series, Larry Blyden passed away in a car crash while on vacation in Morraco, and Bobby Van became the host. The show lasted 6 months on ABC's daytime lineup from June 1975 to December 1975. None of the episodes survive except the pilot and (on the game show trading circuit) a November 1975 episode. Even the last 1975 ABC Password episode with original commercials intact (also on the game show trading circuit) has a promo for the new Showoffs game show with a few more clips from the 1975 pilot in it.

Showoffs is a Mark Goodson-Bill Todman production.
