The game show scene was changing a lot by this time. Daly was asked if he wanted to host this version but he politely turned it down. The "formal after dinner" atmosphere of the old show (remember the previous show started in 1950) was not going to work on TV middays in 1970. Since Daly had been a news reporter, Goodson-Todman chose Wally Bruner, who had been a war correspondent in Viet Nam.
The network show had three minutes of commercials; in syndication, where it usually aired outside prime time, there were six. That meant some tinkering on the game and the panel introductions; also, the format was opened to allow demonstrations of the occupations, which also meant cutting the games off.
I never saw John Daly host, but I do remember watching Wally Bruner. I never really liked Bruner, and I think the reason was he seemed to take his role too seriously. Daly moderated the show, but seemed to have a sense of humor about what the show was about and what he was doing.

I would never have expected legendary Hal Holbrook to turn up here as a panelist.
Thanks for uploadng this. I love the syndicated WML and TTTT ans sure do miss seeing them on tv.
I love when he says "and it's 5 down and we'll go to Hal" because as much as I re-listen, it still sounds like he's saying 'hell'. Too funny
I wish they’d tell us when this was screened. I want to see how I can watch as many as possible.
During that first segment I wasn't sure if I was watching WML or QVC.
This syndicated version had B list mystery guests for the most part.
Wow, John Daly and his panel were SO much better!!!!!

There's nothing listed under the prizes furnished disclaimer. Zero sponsors had been won over yet when this show was aired.
I loved his haircut call the "hamil".
The sindication seems to have more time restraints, so Wally had be more strict than Daley.
