Susannah Williams was the other.
Lacey Pemberton was (or is) the contestant coordinator on a fairly recent
game. (Panel: is this a first, having a hostess move successfully from
in front of the camera to behind the scenes?)
Another question would be what happened to the card turners on the 1978-81
version of "Card Sharks." This would be Ann Pennington (Janice's sister),
Janice Baker, Lois Areno, Kristin Bjorklund, and Melinda Hunter (I think
we know what Markie Post is up to). These are the hostesses listed per
EOTVGS, Vol. 2.

Can't answer that, but I *can* add that Markie Post did a stint as
card turner on CS in '79...

Since nobody's been able to come up with the answer to this one, I will:
the show was "Family Secrets" which aired on NBC in 1993 (making it one of
NBC's last game shows), hosted by Lacey's old "Card Sharks" boss Bob
Eubanks.
Remember when Lacey was pregnant with her son Travis? I'll bet it was a
chore for the costume designers to come up with two different versions of
the same dress, one regular for Susannah, and one maternity-style for
Lacey. (By then, the girls stopped wearing those red and blue skirts that
made them look like drum majorettes in search of a marching band.)

Speaking of marching bands, Everytime I play back the original CS/(DD) theme, I
keep picturing a high school marching band playing their own version. I could
see/hear it now....
..."Ladies & Gentlemen, presenting the Washington High School's halftime salute
to game shows.." The 80 member band comes out and claps out the start of CS,
and the crowd goes wild in the stands....

Maybe not a full high school band (People looked at me weird during summer
band when I suggested GS themes for the '97 halftime show) However, I am
doing an arrangement of the theme for CS for a stage band (5 saxes, 4
trumpets, 4 trombones, a tuba, and a rhythm section) Does anyone think
that the synth-ed main theme [da-DAH-da-DAH-da-DAH-da-DAH-DAH-DAH, if that
helps] would sound good as a sax part (not ad-libbed, though)? Does
anyone know where I can get the rights for an arrangement
(addresses,etc.)? Your help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I'm still
looking for a programmer for my CS/Blockbusters spinoff, Trailblazers!

the weird spacing, but AOL's outage yesterday has locked up the damn Enter

If you can't get a synthesiser to recreate the beginning notes, a goox mix of
flutes (piccolos) and maybe a dash of clarinets could do the trick...
Other g/s themes that I think a marching band could do well with are:
Hollywood Squares (early-mid 70's version)
10, 20, 25,...k Pyramid (The original version)
Split Second (70's version)
Of course, this would be great if you can get clearance to play those tunes...
Any others???

The Price is Right
Wheel of Fortune (the Alan Thicke theme, not that awful new pop rock
junk)
Sports Challenge (hey, it was played by a marching band, let's do it)
Jeopardy! (1978-79 version)

I don't remember who said it, but thanks for the piccolo/flute tip (I was
going to use one anyway for some countermelody; I guess adding a few more
for the main theme won't hurt.) I wasn't knocking the idea of the g/s
theme halftime show, it's just that people associate gameshows with sleazy
themes. I guess doing a show and not telling the audience the theme till
the very end would work (a la $25K Pyramid Mystery 7). I have a lot of
influence in my H/S marching band, so maybe for the '97-'98 season (maybe
Card Sharks will be back by then :) ). I'll have to see.

Still ticked off because I'm no longer the youngest a.t.g-s fan.
