Barry finally returned to game-show hosting in 1969, succeeding Dennis Wholey on ABC's "The Generation Gap," for which he publicly thanked the producers and ABC for giving him a chance for a comeback. In 1971, he sold ABC his first new game show, "The Reel Game", which he also hosted; it ran for 13 weeks. He became a success again as a producer-host with "The Joker's Wild", which ran on CBS from 1972–1975 and in syndication from 1977–1986 (Barry died in May 1984 and was replaced by Bill Cullen for the final two years); it also saw a revival in syndication for one season in 1990. Enright would work as "Joker"s executive producer in the show's final year on CBS, and the two revived their partnership full-time in 1976, reviving "Tic-Tac-Dough," which ran until 1986. It was revived once more but was canceled after a few months. Enright died in 1992.
