    It was very frustrating that they always seemed to have to cut the mystery guest segment short on the syndicated show, before the panelists had enough time to try to guess (presumably because the syndicated show had to allow for a few more commercials) They should have eliminated one of. the "regular" games to allow enough time for the mystery guest game.

    19:48 - From this question, I think Larry (un)intentionally threw them off by saying straight that Big Bird doesn't talk.
    He should have been better off saying that he does speak on TV but decided not to speak during the Mystery Guest round just to make it harder.

    If they hadn't spent so much time showcasing whatever a guest sells or deals with, wolves in this case, they wouldn't constantly be running out of time to end a game abruptly. With Wally Bruner they waste time by having the panel guess the occupation of four members from the audience. There's hardly any game being played. I much prefer the original. They have banter and jokes, but time isn't wasted.
