Beginning in late 1963, Clark branched out into hosting game shows, presiding over ''[[The Object Is]]''.<ref name=ObjectIs>{{cite web|title=The Object Is|url=http://www.tv.com/shows/the-object-is/|publisher=TV|access-date=April 20, 2012|archive-date=October 22, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022122925/http://www.tv.com/shows/the-object-is/|url-status=dead}}</ref> The show was canceled in 1964 and replaced by ''[[Missing Links (game show)|Missing Links]]'', which had moved from [[NBC]]. Clark took over as host, replacing [[Ed McMahon]].<ref name=ObjectIs/>

Clark became the first host of ''[[Pyramid (game show)|The $10,000 Pyramid]]'', which premiered on CBS March 26, 1973.<ref name="EW">{{cite magazine |last=Tucker |first=Ken |date=April 18, 2012 |title=A Dick Clark appreciation: The deceptively laid-back, conservative revolutionary |url=http://watching-tv.ew.com/2012/04/18/dick-clark-american-bandstand-pyramid-rockin-eve/ |access-date=April 20, 2012 |magazine=Entertainment Weekly}}</ref> The show—a word-association game created and produced by daytime television producer [[Bob Stewart (television)|Bob Stewart]]—moved to ABC in 1974. Over the coming years, the top prize changed several times (and with it the name of the show), and several primetime spinoffs were created.<ref name=EW/>

As the program moved back to CBS in September 1982, Clark continued to host the daytime version through most of its history, winning three [[Emmy Awards]] for best game show host.<ref name=q1520/> In total, ''Pyramid'' won nine Emmy Awards for best game show during his run, a mark that is eclipsed only by the twelve won by the [[television syndication|syndicated]] version of ''[[Jeopardy!]]''.<ref name=HollywoodReporter>{{cite news|title=Dick Clark Dead of Heart Attack at 82|author=Duane Byrge|date=April 18, 2012|work=The Hollywood Reporter|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/dick-clark-dead-heart-attack-82-years-old-stroke-313743|access-date=April 20, 2012}}</ref> Clark's final ''Pyramid'' hosting gig, ''The $100,000 Pyramid'', ended in 1988.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bakersfield native wins big on $100,000 Pyramid |url=https://www.turnto23.com/news/local-news/bakersfield-native-wins-grand-prize-on-100000-pyramid |website=turnto23.com |date=July 12, 2016 |publisher=Scripps Media, Inc. |access-date=December 31, 2019}}</ref>

Clark subsequently returned to ''Pyramid'' as a guest in later incarnations. During the premiere of the [[John Davidson (entertainer)|John Davidson]] version in 1991, Clark sent a pre-recorded message wishing Davidson well in hosting the show. In 2002, Clark played as a celebrity guest for three days on the [[Donny Osmond]] version. Earlier, he was also a guest during the [[Bill Cullen]] version of ''The $25,000 Pyramid'', which aired simultaneously with Clark's daytime version of the show.<ref>{{cite web |title=Clark returns to 'Pyramid' — but not as show's host |url=https://www.deseret.com/2002/11/13/19688401/clark-returns-to-pyramid-151-but-not-as-show-s-host |website=Deseret News |date=November 13, 2002 |access-date=January 4, 2020}}</ref>

''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' credited Clark's "quietly commanding presence" as a major factor in the game show's success.<ref name=EW/>

Clark hosted the syndicated television game show ''[[The Challengers (game show)|The Challengers]]'', during its only season (1990–91). ''The Challengers'' was a co-production between the production companies of Dick Clark and [[Ron Greenberg]]. During the 1990–91 season, Clark and Greenberg also co-produced a revival of ''[[Let's Make a Deal]]'' for NBC with [[Bob Hilton]] as the host. Hilton was later replaced by original host [[Monty Hall]]. Clark later hosted ''[[Scattergories (game show)|Scattergories]]'' on NBC in 1993; and [[Television networks preceding ABC Family|The Family Channel]]'s version of ''[[It Takes Two (game show)|It Takes Two]]'' in 1997. In 1999, along with Bob Boden, he was one of the executive producers of [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]]'s TV game show ''[[Greed (game show)|Greed]]'', which ran from 5 November 1999, to 14 July 2000, and was hosted by [[Chuck Woolery]]. At the same time, Clark also hosted the Stone-Stanley-created ''[[Winning Lines (U.S. game show)|Winning Lines]]'', which ran for six weeks on CBS from 8 January through 12 February 2000, [[Geraldo Rivera]] was actually supposed to host ''[[Winning Lines (U.S. game show)|Winning Lines]]'' but couldn't agree on the contract, so CBS selected Clark to host.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Adalian |first1=Josef |title=CBS will sweep away quizzer 'Winning Lines' |url=https://variety.com/2000/tv/news/cbs-will-sweep-away-quizzer-winning-lines-1117776455/ |website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=February 15, 2000 |access-date=December 31, 2019}}</ref>
