Home Game: The original series had a few, as did the Narz/Wood era.If they finished the stunt within the time, they won if not, their opponents did. The two teams got to see the final stunt, then played Bid-a-Time to determine who would play the stunt (first bid was determined by a trivia question, and couldn't exceed two minutes) low bid played. The team that had the highest score got an advantage, the team with the lowest score, a disadvantage.

Solo Stunt and Versus Stunt during the Narz/Wood era, the Bonus Shuffle in the Hall era, and the Swirling Whirlwind of Cash and Prizes on Kroger's version. The Jackpot Clock and Super Bonus Stunt during the original era are the Ur Example.The following Game Show tropes appear in Beat the Clock: It was the first of many games hosted by Bruce Forsyth. The format was exported to the United Kingdom in the 1960s, forming part of the popular variety series Saturday Night at the London Palladium. Universal Kids brought the show back again in 2018-2019. In 2006, the original Clock was part of CBS' Gameshow Marathon with Ricki Lake. PAX brought back the show yet again in 2002 with Gary Kroeger as host, and tacked on a Bonus Round copied from The Diamond Head Game. In 1979, Monty Hall of Let's Make a Deal fame hosted a one-season revival, again for CBS this role was one of the few times he hosted a show he didn't create, and the only time he ever worked for Goodson-Todman. Gene Wood, then the show's announcer, was quickly promoted to host until 1974, making for one of his few non-announcing gigs. Brought back for a five-a-week syndicated revival in 1969, the show was hosted by Jack Narz, who left in 1972 due to travel expenses eating up most of his salary. The original version, which aired on CBS (1950-58) and later ABC (1958-61), starred Bud Collyer as host. Can you perform the stunt before time expires? If you do so, you win. Perhaps the granddaddy of stunt-based Game Shows, this Mark Goodson-Bill Todman creation has been around in some form since 1950.
