Hollywood Connection

The Hollywood Connection is an American game show that ran in syndication from September 5, 1977 to March 3, 1978.

Jim Lange hosted the series,[1] while Jay Stewart (Johnny Gilbert in earlier episodes) announced.

The player who won the coin toss chose which row of celebrities (either the top or bottom) to play with.

Whoever scored more points at the end of the game won, receives some prizes, and played the bonus round.

The champion still wrote down three key words as above, except each connection was worth $250 instead of the original scoring format.

If at any time the champion was unable to make a connection, the bonus round ended and the money was lost (although the trip was not in jeopardy).
