Trading places: Joan Rivers hosts Hollywood Squares (1988)

 From season 2 of The New Hollywood Squares:

During the course of this iteration's three year run (1986-9), producer Rick Rosner was looking for a theme for April Fool's Day.

Well, I've spoiled it already. Joan Rivers swaps places with John Davidson for the day, although it seems Shadoe Stevens didn't get the memo.......!

Nearly 40 years later, Shadoe is heard at the end of this video, as he's now the announcer for the Game Show Vault channel.


During the course of the run, Shadoe and Jm J. Bullock each took turns filling in for Davidson, although, in those cases, Davidson was on vacation. Howard Stern filled Shadoe's cubicle the week Stevens filled in.
