I had subscribed to the streaming service Bonus Round pretty recently, interested in viewing the many episodes of the Canadian game show Definition, which was the longest-running Canadian game show and was hosted by Jim Perry.

Just now, I had stumbled upon an episode in which Bob McGrath was a celebrity player. Yes, despite that Definition was produced in Canada, there have been American celebrities participating in such show.

His appearance was during Season 7 (1980-81, I believe). Membership to the Bonus Round on-demand streaming service is pretty cheap and many shows are likely available to American users.

Interestingly enough, at least where I lived, Definition aired in the same time slot on CTV as Canadian Sesame Street on CBC. Bob McGrath competing against himself indeed.

That's almost as crazy as Renee Jacobs (voice of April O'Neil) appearing on Perry's other show "$ale of the Century."
