NOTE: It is rumored that during the week of June 6 to 10, 1988, Ray Combs would make a series of cameos to plug the new revival of Family Feud, which he would be hosting, and would premiere on CBS four weeks later. It would make sense to have such plugs for Family Feud, since it would allow enough time to get families on the show, as Feud was about to start taping by that point in the run.
