Originally, Eure believed that he was going to continue hosting the show. Promos even aired promoting the show featuring Eure as the host. However, a staff member contacted him and told him that they were looking for a younger host to host the syndicated version. The syndicated series ended its run on March 10, 1989, and began airing in repeats on Nickelodeon the following Monday (March 13), which continued until June 30, 1990.
