in 1971, barker was tapped to host a pilot for nbc entitled "simon says", which required him to interact with a giant computer called "simon" in "let's make a deal"-style "trades". the pilot was produced by wesley j. cox of dundas productions, and its theme was "the savers" (the theme used on "the joker's wild", which has led some to believe that cox or dundas was an alias for jack barry or dan enright, since "joker" used the theme in its original 1968 pilot). there is at least one (somewhat low-quality) clip of the pilot on the video sharing website youtube.
