Due to his commitments to Good Morning America, the show returned not only to ABC, but also to New York, having taped there from 1973 until 1982 note (with the exception of a brief stint in the 70s at Television City) and for the 2009 CBS pilots. The series lasted only 40 episodes before being cancelled due to low ratings.Ī revival of the $100,000 format premiered on ABC on June 26, 2016, hosted by Michael Strahan, offering top prizes of $50,000 and $100,000 in the Winner's Circle. This version (much like the $1,000,000 pilots) served as a back-to-basics refresh after the massive changes with Donnymid, and included a unique way of determining the Winner's Circle prize (see below). Three more pilots, now back to $25,000 (with a $500,000 tournament planned) and with Andy Richter as host, were taped for TBS on June 22 and 23, 2010.Īfter having been trapped in Development Hell for eight years, GSN finally raised the curtain on a new edition, now simply titled The Pyramid, on September 3, 2012, with Mike Richards (not Kramer, but the executive producer of The Price Is Right and future executive producer of Jeopardy!) as host. They tried to pitch it again in 2010, but lost out again, this time in favor of The Talk, a mother-oriented talk show fronted by (among others) Big Brother host Julie Chen note Chen is also the wife of CBS executive Les Moonves, leading to suggestions that nepotism was the cause.

Two $1,000,000 pilots were taped in New York in 2009 (one with Tim Vincent as host, the other with Dean Cain) for CBS they passed it up for a revival of Let's Make a Deal. In the Winner's Circle, the clue giver is shown six categories, and has to give a list of objects that fit each category. Whoever got more points in six rounds moved on to the Bonus Round, called the 'Winner's Circle', in which the game was essentially reversed. It has a format similar to Password in that a contestant is trying to describe a word to a celebrity partner, but instead of being a one-word clue, the contestant has to give several clues to a set number of words (usually seven) within a time limit, and using virtually any form of verbal clue-giving. Unlike Password, however, the Pyramid franchise was largely produced by Stewart himself (with assistance from son Sande in the 1980s).

It was created by Bob Stewart, also the mind behind Password. Pyramid is a game show format that began on Maas The $10,000 Pyramid. These are things associated with Pyramid.
