List of The Name of the Game episodes

This is a list of episodes for the NBC television series The Name of the Game. The star of almost every episode of this rotating series was either Gene Barry as Glenn Howard, Anthony Franciosa (credited as Tony Franciosa) as Jeff Dillon, or Robert Stack as Dan Farrell. After Franciosa was fired during the third season, the four remaining episodes for which he was contracted starred different actors (Robert Culp, Peter Falk, Robert Wagner) as other characters.

The pilot for this series was the 1966 TV-movie Fame Is the Name of the Game starring Franciosa, along with Susan Saint James (making her debut) and guest stars Jill St. John, Jack Klugman and Robert Duvall.
