The 1983 Daytime Emmy Awards showed a 1976 clip, known to be from the last seven weeks.

** The second run was cancelled by president and CEO Fred Silverman in favor of ''The Creator/DavidLetterman Show''. A year later, Silverman was given the pink slip due to repeated programming failures (including ''Letterman'') and was replaced by MTM Enterprises co-founder and president Grant Tinker.

** To a lesser extent, the concept of the 1976 "Face Lifters" format was reused for Merrill Heatter's first solo series, ''Series/{{Battlestars}}'', as the ''Battlestars Two'' endgame (and it fit just as well as it did here- ie. not at all); when the show came back for a period in 1983, ''Battlestars Two'' was ditched.

* PropRecycling: The 1978-80 version's dice and table were reused when ''[[Series/{{Gambit}} Las Vegas Gambit]]'' (also an H-Q show) decided to ditch the Gambit Board in favor of the Big Numbers from this show; with ''High Rollers'' having only been cancelled about a year prior, the props were dug out of storage (you can tell because [[DummiedOut the buzzers and question card holder are still there, but unused]]).
