Sometimes, the host plays: Bert Convy cedes his MC's microphone on Tattletales (1974)

 Long before Ben Stein put himself in position as a contestant for part of Win Ben Stein's Money during its run on Comedy Central, Bert Convy (ex-The Snoop Sisters), at the urging of Goodson-Todman, would bring his wife, Anne, onto Tattletales so they could play for a week.

In this instance, Gene Rayburn pulls double duty, hosting Match Game concurrently with his guest gig on Tattletales while Bert is on the panel with Harvey Korman (The Carol Burnett Show) and his wife, and Jo Anne Worley (ex-Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In) and then-husband Roger Perry.


This wouldn't be the only time Convy gave up the MC's mic during this run.
