I remember watching the 1990 version with Patrick Wayne, since it aired on
the NBC affiliate out of Greenville SC.
But i have seen Wink Martindale host it too, from reruns on GSN.
Martindale, by far was the better host...
The Joker's Wild was on the CBS affiliate in 1990, hosted by Pat Finn
NBC has always owned "Concentration." It was licensed in 1973 (under

According to their 2021 format sales catalog, they're trying to bring back

But as noted in this follow-up tweet, there's nothing definite yet, they're
just shopping the idea around.
