Temptation (US game show)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Temptation was a game show which aired on ABC from December 4, 1967 to March 1, 1968. It was produced by Merrill Heatter and Bob Quigley. Art James was the host, and Carl King was the announcer.
In 2007, it was announced that MyNetworkTV would air a game show of the same name beginning in September. However, the format is based on Sale of the Century, and not on the original Temptation. The host for this version will be Rossi Morreale. This new version is already successful in Australia.
[edit] Gameplay
Three contestants were shown three prize showcases of varying values; each contestant secretly locked in the number of the showcase s/he wanted. The contestant won the showcase only if neither of his/her opponents picked it.
Five rounds were played; in the last two rounds, James would tell the players what two of them had chosen before they made a final selection. The player with the highest dollar total returned to the next show.
James always appeared dressed as a riverboat gambler, with tuxedo, ruffled shirt, and cigar.
