Game Time: Click (1997)

 Today, Ryan Seacrest is one of the busiest guys in Hollywood, between American Top 40 on radio and American Idol on TV, and a handful of projects in between, including Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve every New Year's Eve.

You know, of course, that Seacrest will take over Wheel of Fortune after current host Pat Sajak retires next year, but it's not the first time that Seacrest has taken on a series developed by the late entertainer Merv Griffin.

In 1997, Griffin sought to capitalize on the growing internet, and came up with Click, a quiz show that pitted three teams of teenagers against each other. The series lasted two seasons (1997-9), but ye scribe has no record of the show airing in the 518. It was Seacrest's 1st hosting gig, predating Idol by 4 years.

Let's check a sample episode:
