Relatively Speaking (game show)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Relatively Speaking is an American TV game show that aired in first-run syndication from September 5, 1988, to June 23, 1989.[1]
The series was hosted by comedian John Byner, with John Harlan announcing (though Dean Goss filled in for Harlan during the next-to-last week). The object of the game was for four celebrities to identify a famous person who is related to an in-studio contestant.
Playing on Byner's comedic skills, before each day's first game began, a video clip was shown of Byner impersonating a famous character (e.g., Indiana Jones) or person while explaining the rules of the game.
Relatively Speaking was produced in Los Angeles. The series' production firms Kushner-Locke and The Maltese Companies.[2] The show has a runtime of 30 minutes.[3] John Byner hosted the show and John Harlan announced.[4] Each time Byner tells contestants the game's rules, he humorously conveys it in a unique way by mimicking celebrities like Bing Crosby and John Wayne.[5] Relatively Speaking aired in 96 markets.[6]
