"And now it's time to play…SPLIT…PERSONALITY! Split Personality, this portion brought to you by the NBC Television network and many, many discriminating sponsors. And now, here's the host of Split Personality, Tom Poston!"
Split Personality was the one-year game show where two contestants attempted to identify celebrities from biographical clues split between two huge electronic game boards facing them.
Premise
Each player chose a clue to give his or her opponent. Among the possible clues a player could choose from were sex, height and weight, color of hair and eyes, age, place born, number of children, current residence, occupation and picture of spouse.
The first player to correctly guess the identity won the game, and the first player to win two games won the match and a prize.
Bonus Round
The champion was shown a picture of the celebrities whose images had been combined. If both people were correctly guessed, the champion won a bonus prize.
