What happens

Three's a Crowd (sometimes spelled 3's a Crowd) is an American television game show. It was created by Chuck Barris and originally packaged by Chuck Barris Productions. The first version aired in syndication from September 17, 1979, to February 1, 1980, hosted by Jim Peck. The show featured a host asking questions of a man, then his wife and secretary, to determine which of the latter two knew him better. The show was met with negative reception for its format, leading to the demise of both it and other shows created by Barris. A revival for Game Show Network, titled The All-New 3's a Crowd, aired on Game Show Network between 1999 and 2000. Hosted by Alan Thicke, this version featured a friend or family member instead of a secretary. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
