Edwards' first full-time game show hosting stint took place from March through June 1973 on Jack Barry's "Hollywood's Talking", a remake of a late 1960s ABC game "Everybody's Talking" and the Canadian hit "Eye Bet". The program featured contestants watching video clips of celebrities talking about a subject; their job was to guess the subject in question. The series, which aired afternoons on CBS television, did not fare well and the network cancelled it in favor of the phenomenally popular "Match Game" remake. Edwards also said he did not like Barry and he had no intention of continuing with the series if it made it past CBS' initial commitment.
