All-Star Blitz is an American game show that aired on ABC from April 8 to December 20, 1985, with reruns airing on the USA Network from March 31 to December 26, 1986.[2] Peter Marshall was the host and John Harlan was the announcer for the series, which was produced by Merrill Heatter Productions, in association with Peter Marshall Enterprises.[1]
Like Heatter's productions Hollywood Squares and Battlestars before it, All-Star Blitz was a celebrity panel show where contestants had to correctly determine whether the celebrities were giving a correct answer or bluffing. Like Hollywood Squares, a secondary gameplay element was attached; in this particular instance, the element involved the contestants trying to solve puzzles.[2]
