Status: Partially Found

Figure it Out is a Nickelodeon game show that originally ran from July 7, 1997 to December 12, 1999 and was hosted by Summer Sanders. What many fans of this show don't know is that some time during the mid-1990s (specific year unknown), a pilot was made and it was entirely different from the end result. Sadly, it has faded into obscurity and it was never aired.

Unaired Pilot

For the pilot, instead of Summer Sanders, Kevin Seal was chosen to be the host, and instead of the 1990s Nickelodeon-ish themed set that was used for the remainder of the series, it was multi-colored and filled with puzzle pieces. The panelists were Darris Love, Irene Ng, Kevin Kopelow and Danny Tamberelli, the first of which never appeared in the actual show. The official pilot with Summer was filmed on February 13th, 1997 with a brand new style of the set and started production a month later. It's currently unknown if there were any differences in gameplay, why Kevin didn't host the rest of the series, and why the set changed drastically.

Availability

The only known footage of this pilot that has surfaced is in a 5-minute compilation video created by a former crew member of Nickelodeon Studios for it's 10-year anniversary (uploaded by avavideos1), as with many other unreleased Nickelodeon Studios pilots.
