The antepenulatimate entry in Pilot Month 2026 (that's 3rd to last entry) is one of the first (https://www.gameshowforum.org/index.php?topic=23524.0) national endeavors (https://gameshows.fandom.com/wiki/Puzzlers) done by a weatherman at KNBC. If you're a fan of a variety of games, this is the show for you. Despite technical glitches, one can see a glimpse of what would become a very fruitful career from this weatherman-turned-host.

The opening theme from Puzzlers was later used on the short-lived Goodson-Todman game show Mindreaders that was hosted by Dick Martin.

And was later used and carried over into the short-lived Goodson-Todman Canadian game show Claim to Fame hosted by Mike McManus that was aired on CTV from 1981 to 1982.

and for non Goodson-Todman related content, it was used as a commercial cue (albeit alternate) for the short-lived game show Celebrity Charades (basically a remake of Mike Stokey's Pantomime Quiz) hosted by Jay Johnson along with his puppet partner named Squeaky from January to September 1979.
