On "Pass the Buck", this 13-week game show that aired in the spring of 1978, four contestants competed to list off items in a certain category to win money in a progressive jackpot. An example question would be "Name someone who would wear a hat or head covering on the job". Each contestant would then give an answer, and for each acceptable answer, $25 was added to that game's pot. If an unacceptable answer was given, however, the next player could give an answer, and if accepted, eliminate the other player from the game. The player who was out would then go to "The Bullpen", which was located on the left side of the stage next to host Bill Cullen. The last player remaining would win the jackpot and then play the "Fast Bucks" bonus round for a possible $5,000. In this round, the player faced 4 columns of answers. The bottom level had four correct answers, the next level had three, the next level had two, and the top level had one.
