He later hosted the second season of Family Channel's Family Challenge in 1996, replacing first-season host Ray Combs who had committed suicide that year. He later hosted the syndicated late-90s version of Match Game, which ran for one season. He also had a stint hosting the live stage show The Price Is Right Live!.[1]
