==Other television work== Edwards was also co-host of the Los Angeles news program ''Mid Morning L.A.'' on [[KCAL-TV|KHJ-TV]] (now KCAL-TV), replacing [[Bob Hilton]] in the early 1980s and paired with co-host [[Meredith MacRae]]. Edwards and MacRae won [[Emmy Award]]s for best host and best hostess respectively for a news magazine series. The two also emceed an unsold Bob Stewart-produced game show pilot, ''$50,000 a Minute'', in 1985 for [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]. In 1985, Edwards became host of ''[[The Big Spin]]'', the game show of the [[California Lottery]], and would remain host of that program until his retirement from television in 1995. In an interview with Blog Talk Radio, Edwards said he helmed the pilot of ''Fun & Fortune'', the lottery game show in [[Missouri]] (before Rick Tamblyn became the permanent host). In another interview, he said he was offered the host role for ''[[Family Feud]]'' but had to turn it down because he was already committed to ''Shoot for the Stars''. In 1995, Edwards appeared on ''[[Sliders (TV series)|Sliders]]'', in the episode "Luck of the Draw".
