New York sports radio personality Bill Mazer died @ the age of 92.

In 1966, he filled in for Hugh Downs for a week to host Concentration. NBC liked his skills, they gave him his own game show, Reach For The Stars.

The show was short lived because the staff of Merv Griffin Enterprises wanted the set to look like a spaceship! Griffin came back from vacation, disliked what they did & the show was quickly canceled.
