History Trivia / Greggo

** ''Generation Gap'', a role-reversed take on ''Series/ChildsPlay'', was in development at one point but never got off the ground.

** ''[[Series/{{Pyramid}} The ¥25,000 Pyramid]]'' used the Fast Money "correct answer/timer reveal" ding from the (first) Richard Dawson run of ''Series/FamilyFeud'' in its main game.

** The Yama-Con 2014 ''Line'' show had a stage setup with Greggo and the players on the left, Laugh Out Loud on the right, and the board in the center - essentially the same staging as the original ''Joker'' pilot from 1968 (which involved celebrities giving the questions).

** A straight adaptation of ''Series/{{Pointless}}'' was also planned, but never got past the survey stage.

** ''Stop the Music'' used the ''Price''/Television City buzzer as its buzzer, and the ''Price'' Penny Ante "button hit"/''Joker's Wild'' Face the Devil "spin" sound as the clock set itself up.

** ''All-Star Blitz'': For the Blitz Bonanza randomizing, the "bouncing light" noise from another obscure Merrill Heatter show, 1989's ''The Last Word'', was used, followed by the ''Press Your Luck'' buzz-in sound when the randomizer was stopped.

** ''Play Your Cards Right'' used the "Pick A Prize" sound from ''Series/{{Whammy}}'' for the numerical answer to a survey. The same noise was also used as the "clue reveal" sound in ''All-Star Blitz''.

** Amusingly, the Yama-Con 2014 ''Line'' show had a stage setup with Greggo and the players on the left, Laugh Out Loud on the right, and the board in the center - essentially the same staging as the original ''Joker'' pilot from 1968 (which involved celebrities giving the questions).
* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: [[https://www.newsweek.com/man-who-strangled-foster-cat-turns-himself-gets-arrested-1193834 He strangled a cat while drunk]], resulting in the immediate end of Greggo's Game Shows for the forseeable future.

** A straight adaptation of ''Series/{{Pointless}}'' was also planned, but never got past the survey stage. In early 2016, Greggo announced that a ''Pokémon''-based version would be developed, and began to do surveys.

** ''Greggo's Casino'', an original game that was to be a mashup of [[Creator/SpikeTV TNN]] game show ''Top Card'' and the Music/SnoopDogg-hosted revival of ''Series/TheJokersWild'', was in development prior to Greggo announcing his retirement in 2018.
* WorkingTitle: ''Ponyville Derby'' was initially called "''The Pony Wheel''", owing to its similarities to ''Wheel of Fortune'' (plus the fact it was using the puzzle board algorithm Greggo had created for ''Wheel'' years earlier).
