Trivia: Break The Bank 1985

  • Executive Meddling: Gene was distinctly told not to goof around as he did on Match Game, despite a goofy host being totally acceptable in a stunt-based show. He was also not given much of a pre-show briefing, as he stumbles around aimlessly more than a few times in the Prize Vault. Considering that the Prize Vault was timed (using the seconds the couple had earned in the front game), this was never a good thing when it happened.
    • The Prize Vault issue was partly fixed through stopping the clock when Rayburn needed to describe the chosen stunt; this change also helped the couples finish more stunts, winning more prizes and Bank Cards along with an increased chance of going to the Number Jumbler.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Rayburn's tenure has never been rerun, partly because he wanted it as such. Some of Farago's episodes were rerun by CBN in late 1986.
