Marty Pasetta

[2] He also directed The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour along with the game shows Wheel of Fortune and Love Connection.

[3] He also produced the game show Catchphrase, which, while short-lived in the US, went on to a long run in the UK, where their adaptation ran from 1986 until 2002 and was revived again in 2013; Pasetta also co-produced a pilot for an American revival in 2006 that didn't sell (as well as late 1980s revisions called Puzzle Roulette and The Puzzle Game, both of which were hosted by Jim Lange).

He also produced two pilots in 1990; a revival of Name That Tune with Orion Television with Peter Allen as host, and a card game titled Suit Yourself with Jim Peck at the helm.

Pasetta was the producer of the Elvis Presley concert special, Aloha from Hawaii Via Satellite in January 1973.

The show still holds the record for the most watched television special in history; viewing figures are between 1 and 1.5 billion live viewers worldwide.
