Double Talk is an American game show that aired on the ABC network from August 18 to December 19, 1986.
Double Talk was hosted by actor and frequent Pyramid panelist Henry Polic II.
Bob Hilton announced for the first two weeks, with Johnny Gilbert replacing him for the remaining sixteen.
As noted above, this game play mechanic was borrowed from Shoot For the Stars but slightly modified for Double Talk.
The game board had four hidden puzzles on it, each worth ten points if correctly solved by the team in control.
If either partner could not solve their half, control passed to the other team, who could score five points and end the round by providing the correct response to the puzzle missed by their opponents.
The bonus round saw the team work to win $10,000 by correctly figuring out the solutions of nine fill-in-the-blank style puzzles.
The puzzles were displayed on nine of the ten trilons that spelled out the "Double Talk" logo on stage.
Two complete games were played each episode, meaning that a player could win up to $20,000 each day.
Debuting on August 18, 1986, Double Talk struggled in the ratings against the second half of The Price Is Right on CBS and Scrabble on NBC and failed to find an audience.
