He co-hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live for a week in January 2004.
At one point on an appearance on May 27, 2005, he parodied Tom Cruise jumping the couch on Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show, showing off his "tattoo" of Katie Holmes (actually a picture taped to his back) and barging into the women's restroom to get her.

| | | | | Betty White: Encyclopedia II - Pyramid game show - One of TV's toughest games When Pyramid first began in 1973, game play was slow at times, but as the ABC version progressed, the main game play became better. By the middle of the 1980s CBS version, both the civilians and celebs were more comfortable with the game, and the Winner's Circle rounds were won somewhat more often. (A similar phenomenon has been noticed in the NBC versions of the Password franchise, as opposed to the original CBS runs.)
Still, some of the toughest game play on TV came in the $100,000 versions of the 1980s and 90s, which ...

| | | | | Betty White: Encyclopedia II - Hollywood Squares - Original version The show's greatest success was during its original run. In its heyday in the early 1970s, it was the most popular daytime show in the country and a platform for the stars to promote their work which seemed almost as popular as Johnny Carson's The Tonight Show.
The show got its beginning as a black-and-white pilot episode filmed for CBS in 1965. That pilot was hosted by Bert Parks with the squares occupied by Cliff Arquette in his "Charley Weaver" comic persona, Wally Cox, Rose Marie, Morey Amsterdam, Abby Dalton, Jim Backus, G ...

| | | | | Betty White: Encyclopedia II - Hollywood Squares - Basic rules Although there have been variations over the years in the rules and the prize-winning aspects of the game, certain aspects of the game remained fairly consistent. 2 contestants, a woman playing Os (noughts) as "Miss Circle" and the man playing Xs (crosses) "Mister X", take turns picking a star and following the traditional tic-tac-toe strategies for which square to select. The star is asked a question and gives an answer. The contestant has the choice of agreeing with the celebrity or disagreeing if they think the star's bluffi ...

The lyrics were rewritten after the first season, and the style of the revised song was also more energetic than the original. The second version is arguably much better known. It has been covered by artists such as Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Sammy Davis Jr. and Hüsker Dü.

Although the fill-in-the-blanks premise was the same, the rules of this version were significantly different from those of later versions, and the subject matter was much more staid and tame.
CBS revived the show on July 2, 1973 as Match Game '73 (the number changed to match the current year). As the series went on, the questioning became more of the "naughty" variety most people remember the show for. CBS canceled th ...

One reason may have been the size of the set (including the big board), but according to Pyramid historian William Padron, a key factor was the objection of the CBS union staff to seeing their creations moved to an ABC studio.
