The Joker's Wild
3 seasons • 1972 • Ended

Game Show, Family
A long-running quiz show hosted by TV veteran Jack Barry, and later by Bill Cullen. In this show, contestants would have to answer questions on a wide variety of topics, with the prize money determined by a slot machine-style device. The winning contestant could then move on to a bonus round, where they would play a slot machine for a chance at even bigger prizes, but with the risk of losing everything.
The show made its national premiere on CBS in 1972 after a short local trial run on KTLA Los Angeles. After it's cancellation on CBS, reruns were syndicated, leading to a new syndicated version debuting in 1977. This version ran eight additional years (and switched hosts due to the death of Jack Barry) before it's cancellation in 1986.
