What happens

Missing Links is a Goodson-Todman game show hosted by Ed McMahon which originally ran on NBC from September 9, 1963, to March 27, 1964, then moved to ABC for its final nine months, with Dick Clark (who later hosted TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes with McMahon) becoming the new host. This was Clark's only Goodson-Todman game show as well as the only game show he hosted where he did not do his salute sign off "For now Dick Clark, so long!" (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
