Trivia:

During the first season, original Pyramid host Dick Clark was a guest player along with game show queen Betty White during a week, called the "Dick Clark Challenge". It was the first time Dick was on the show since 1988 and the first time he was a Pyramid player since 1978. While Clark hosted the daytime version back then, he was a frequent player on the syndicated version of the '70s with Bill Cullen as host.

Awesome game show fun

This is one game show that is definitely worth watching because it's such an awesome update of a game show classic. It has every bit of the competitive fun that the original version did and I like the sense of humor that the writers put into coming up with the categories. Donny Osmond also does a fantastic job as the host.
