    1 9 8 3 – 1 9 8 4 (USA)

    A wordplay-based game show in which teams of contestants competed for an entire week for cash prizes.

    go_001

    Each team of four players was partnered with a celebrity guest who began play by drawing a word from a pack.

    The celebrity guest and one contestant then had to construct a question, for which that word was the answer, by alternating back and forth for each word in the question.

    Another contestant tried to guess the word by answering the question and, if correct, continued playing.

    Go was produced by the creators of The $25,000 Pyramid and hosted by Kevin O’Connell with Johnny Gilbert as announcer.
