Wink posted a bit of this last year, but now here's the full 2006 pilot of All New Catch Phrase, with Todd Newton.

Wink recently uploaded the third pilot for the Reg Grundy show Keynotes from 1986, which did not sell in the US (it did in the UK and Australia). Kevin O'Connell from Go was host and Marc Summers was announcer.

Wink uploaded another pilot to YouTube. This time, it's the third pilot for Star Words from 1983, which was in the running to replace Child's Play but lost to Press Your Luck. Pilot #1 previously aired on Buzzr's "Lost & Found."

Here's something I've wanted to see for a while, one of the 1978 Spell Binders pilots, hosted by Bill Anderson.

Being as big a country music fan as I am, it seemed weird seeing Bill hosting a show. He was such a great guest, but I ouodnt have dreamed of him being a host!

In that case, I suggest you look up The Better Sex (ABC, 1977-78) and Fandango (TNN, 1983-89).
The above is my opinion and mine alone.

To answer your questions: yes, I am a guy and yes, I have a face. (I also have the occasional spurt of weirdness.)

After viewing this pilot on YouTube a couple weeks ago, I think Keynotes should have sold to CBS here in the states, it would have gotten a decent run here in the US.

After seeing both pilots of Star Words on YouTube, I knew CBS made the right choice in selecting Press Your Luck to succeed Child's Play in the fall of 1983.

Tomorrow at 3:00 PM Pacific Time (6:00 PM Eastern, 5:00 PM Central), Wink will host a livestream on his Facebook page. To warm viewers up, here's the pilot for the show he hosted after Tic Tac Dough in 1985, Headline Chasers.

Kudos to Wink and John Ricci Jr. for putting this livestream on. There were plenty of laughs and it's great to see Wink back hosting. Also, John did an impeccable job recreating the graphics to emulate the look and feel of the show from 40 years ago.

There are three different games on Wink's Facebook page. Check them out if you can.

I thought Star Words was okay—think Password meets Tattletales—but had all the earmarks of a 13-weeker along the lines of Blackout. Nipsey Russell did have some nice hosting chops.

Nipsey Russell was a great panelist but horrible host. Way too loud and lost when it comes to hosting.
