Trivia / Now You See It

• Keep Circulating the Tapes:
  • Currently, 56 out of 75 episodes of the 1989 revival are on the trading circuit. A few them are incomplete, and one show in particular (May 2, 1989) has no audio.
  • Buzzr has intermittently aired Narz-era episodes.
• One-Book Author: Chuck Henry's only hosting gig (not counting an unsold pilot) and Mark Driscoll's only announcing job.
• Real Song Theme Tune: In a rare game show example, it's "Chump Change", written by Quincy Jones and Bill Cosby. It was originally the theme song to Cosby's short-lived CBS Variety series that aired during the 1972-1973 season, The New Bill Cosby Show. However, for several weeks early in the run of the 70s version, an alternate theme composed by Edd Kalehoff was used (except during the opening, which continued to use "Chump Change"), and although the former theme music was later reinstated, Kalehoff's theme continued to be used as a music cue going into the first break (when the Elimination Round partners switched sides), and would later be used as the closing theme for the 1980s UK and Australian versions.
• Recycled Soundtrack: In between commercial breaks of the 1974-1975 series were consolation prizes for the departing contestants read by Johnny Olson. The music playing throughout was the "Contestants not appearing on stage" music from The Price Is Right.
