The last run was in daily syndication (distributed by Creator/{{Viacom}}) for six months in 1978-79, hosted by Jim Peck. Two contestants played on Monday and Tuesday of a particular week, while two more played on Wednesday and Thursday. In a tournament fashion, the highest scorers from those games played each other on Friday. Instead of cash being awarded on a scale for each correct answer, every answer scored only one point, regardless of the number of clues necessary, with five winning the game. Correct answers were worth $100 on the Monday–Thursday shows and $200 on Fridays, but these payouts were not reflected in the scoring.

* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Series/CelebrityNameGame'' provided one in the mid-2010's, although its overall gameplay style was more reminiscent of ''Series/{{Pyramid}}''.

It was a word association game like ''Series/{{Password}}'', except the catch was to identify names of famous people or places. Two teams, each of a celebrity and a civilian, communicated the names by forming a sentence with the last word missing. That word could sound like, but not spelled like, part of the name. Each team had up to two attempts to communicate the name. Doing so scored a point, with three winning the game.

** GameShowHost: Jack Barry on the original KTLA series, followed by Tom Kennedy on the NBC run. Clark Race hosted part of the 1974-75 KTLA series, followed by Tom once again. Jim Peck helmed the syndicated run.
* ShowTheFolksAtHome: Names were flashed on-screen along with a hushed spiel by Harlan. Subverted [[OncePerEpisode at least once per show]] with "Guess Who", although for a time around 1968-69 a series of question marks were used.

** '''ABC:''' The player gave clues to the celebrity, winning $500 for the first name guessed, doubled with each subsequent word up to four. They had up to six tries, with getting four names winning $5,000. If four names were guessed each on one clue, the contestant won $10,000 (although this only happened ''once'', on the last aired show). The money was at risk for each name.

GameShow first produced for KTLA (local Los Angeles television) by Desilu, hosted by Creator/JackBarry. It was later acquired by producers Ralph Andrews and Bill Yaggemann, and moved to Creator/{{NBC}} with Tom Kennedy as host from 1963 to 1969.

The show returned on KTLA in late 1974, now hosted by Clark Race with Tom Kennedy as a regular panelist (although at some point, the two swapped positions). It again expanded to a network, this time Creator/{{ABC}}, in July-November 1975, and used a larger format (also used on the KTLA series): now, four celebrity panelists alternated giving clues to two contestants, with correct guesses worth money starting at $250 for the first clue and ending at $50 for four clues. The first to get $500 won.

*** Another bonus came shortly into the NBC run: Players that won the game 3-0 (a "blitz") ''and'' got $300 on the Bonus Board also won a car.

* OpeningNarration: The NBC era had the celebrity players with their backs to the camera, each giving a clue to part of their name, to which Tom would crack a silly joke. The clue often {{pun}}s with their name.
