This ''Break the Bank'' [[Game Show]] is unrelated to the other two of the same name, but it's the one most adults today remember. As on ''[[The Hollywood Squares]]'', a man and a woman compete in a game with nine celebrity panelists. Two panelists answered each question, but only one gave the right answer. Matching three like dollar amounts (always adjacent to one another) won the game and the right to face another challenger.
Tom Kennedy was the host on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] from April 12 to July 23, 1976; [[Jack Barry]] took over when the show went into syndication a few weeks later.

* [[Bonus Round]]: On the syndicated version. See [[Luck-Based Mission]] below.
* [[Bonus Space]]: The money bags; collecting three of them broke the Bank, which started at $5,000 and increased by $500 (later $250) per game until won. On the Barry version, the Bank was always $10,000 in prizes (including a car).

* [[Cool Shades]]: Barry wore these because the set was so bright. Similarly, Kennedy had his glasses tinted.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Suspiciously similar to ''[[The Hollywood Squares]]'' in nature, isn't it?
