What happens

Now You See It is an American television game show created by Frank Wayne for Mark Goodson-Bill Todman Productions. Contestants answered general knowledge trivia questions by finding the answers hidden in a grid, similar to a word search puzzle. Two seasons were produced, both of which aired on CBS. The first series ran from April 1, 1974 to June 13, 1975, and was hosted by Jack Narz who was also hosting the syndicated revival of Concentration. Johnny Olson was the original announcer, with Gene Wood substituting on occasion. The second series ran from April 3, 1989 to July 14, 1989, and was hosted by Los Angeles news anchor Chuck Henry. Los Angeles disc jockey Mark Driscoll announced for the first month of the 1989 season, with Don Morrow replacing him for the remainder of the run. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
