Hot Seat is an American game show which aired on ABC from July 12 to October 22, 1976.
The series was created by Merrill Heatter and Robert Quigley, who were known at this point for their hit game shows Gambit and The Hollywood Squares among others.
The pilot, recorded on January 17, 1976,[1] was played the same as the series with the exception of the bonus round: the husband sat in front of a turntable, while the wife saw the lie-detector reactions in another isolation booth.
It went up against The Young and the Restless on CBS, and The Fun Factory on NBC and for its last three weeks on air, 50 Grand Slam.
After Hot Seat ended, a variety series hosted by Don Ho would take over the ABC Noon slot.
