I think most of us have played Mad Libs as a party game at some point. In 1998, Disney prevailed upon Dick Clark to develop a game show based on the game. JD Roth (ex-Fun House) was also attached as an executive producer.
The series was tested with pilot in 1997, but didn't go to series until a year later. In between, host David Sidoni had crashed with CBS' Wheel 2000, which got 13 weeks, and no more. Mad Libs, on the other hand, lasted about a year, and, as you'll see, was structured like a Nickelodeon game show.
No rating. Just a public service.

@Hobbyfan: Not sure if you have ever reviewed on either of your blogs, Dick Clark also hosted a game show version of the party game Scattergories in 1993 as part of NBC's daytime lineup...
Not sure if he produced it though...
I have heard of it. I will look for that to put in the Land of Whatever.....
