The Last Word (game show)

The Last Word is a game show seen in syndication in the United States and on the Global Television Network in Canada that was produced by Merrill Heatter Productions and ran for 65 episodes from September 18 to December 15, 1989, with reruns continuing until January 5, 1990.

In the Los Angeles-produced pilot, Burton Richardson was the announcer, and Jana White operated the computer and acted as co-host.

Two teams consisting of a celebrity and a civilian contestant competed to guess group words that had something in common in order to win cash and prizes.

Among the celebrities who appeared include Jill Whelan, Ted Lange, Susan Ruttan, and Gordon Jump.

If it stopped on an empty space, that letter was filled in and the player could either try to guess the word or pass control to the opponent.
