When Johnny Carson ruled The Tonight Show, he appeared more than once on different parody game shows, but as emcee, all having the same name: Wink Barker.

Art Lamplighter (caricature of Art Linkletter), “People Are Bunny” with Bugs & Daffy Daffy Duck, “Truth or AAAAAAAGHHH!” with Porky Pig Bill Baker (voice of Casey Kasem), “Let’s Make a Right Price”, a “2 Stupid Dogs” episode “Top Cat” appeared on the game show “King for a Day,” but IIRC the host was named Jack Bailey, the exact name of the emcee for Queen for a Day. I saw on the MeTV Toons page that an episode of The Jetsons had them appear with the Spacelys on a Family Feud parody, but I didn’t see that one! Also to keep it live action…. Jay Jackson appeared on the “Honeymooners” episode “The $99,000 Answer,” but I am not sure if he was announced on the air as Jay Jackson or not. Classic Honeymooners ep. cd |

Going another way, one is unforgettable:
SCTV’s Alex Trebel [sic], played by Eugene Levy—an obvious parody of Alex Trebek pre-Jeopardy. However, despite looking like Trebek, Levy was totally opposite of the Alex we know, who had decorum and appeal. Levy as Trebel/Trebek was master of the slow-burn. Dim-witted contestants got under his skin more and more as the game (whatever the game was, whether Half Wits or Hi-Q) progressed; by the end of the game, he was a raving lunatic! Plenty available on YouTube. cd |
