Leonard Nimoy and Bill Shatner are frequent celebrity guests at this game show.
In 1977 there is a show where both are taking part at the same time.
Two people play as partners against a team of two others.
They try to find the name of an object, a theme, a synonym or anything else grouped
by similarities. E. g.: "Things which make a sound," "words which contain the word
'-body'" or "something which has a double meaning"
One participant looks onto a screen and describes the word to his/her partner without
using the word itself. When the partner guessed the correct word, the next word is given.
During a time limit the correctly guessed words are counted. Then the other group plays
another round and the winning team of two rounds go to the final goal:
"The $ 20,000 Pyramid". (Later the $25,000 Pyramid).
There the non celebrity participant and her / his partner try to play the same game
without competition against the time. If they manage, the non celebrity guest wins $ 20,000.
Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner were guests from 1973 to 1977.
Leonard Nimoy and
Bill Shatner take part together in 5 shows, playing against each other, and give the
audience a head to head run.
In show No 3 Bill Shatner introduces a rare way of entertainment when smashing a
chair underlining the action with loud groans and shouts showing his anger about
himself. This way his partner has a great laugh though shes just lost the game.
Though highly concentrated and trying his best to help his partner win her part,
Bill Shatner had used a word which was to be guessed (thereby spoiling their chance to win).
Leonard adds that he had tried to teach him to behave logically - in vain as it seems.
Both are making lots of points and are a good sport.
Their chemistry matches, you see
the professionalism with both, and both give their best to help their partners win
against the other and to make the show a funny one to watch.
