* [[Special Guest]]: [[The Newlywed Game]] and [[Card Sharks]] host Bob Eubanks paid a visit to the show in season 2, ostensibly to give Ken some pointers on how to host.

The [[Speed Round]] then consisted of one word from a TV show's title being replaced with "Whoopie", and the contestants having to supply the correct word.
