====Summer months==== During the first few years of ''TGIF'', the host interstitials varied during the Summer months. The regular hosting rotation continued with new segments during the Summer of 1990, the final months of the "mice" motif. For the late Spring and Summer of 1991, ABC decided to relieve the ''TGIF'' stars of filming/taping segments from their respective sets. Instead, stars performed voiceovers for "TGIF Trivia", game-like segments made up of episode scenes and multiple-choice questions. The trivia quiz provided "A", "B" and "C" choices of events that the home viewer was supposed to choose from for a supposed "single" correct answer; in reality, all choices were correct in each round, as every scene featured was from an actual episode inclusion. Stars that narrated ''TGIF Trivia'' included Heather Locklear (''Going Places''), [[Telma Hopkins]] (''Family Matters''), [[Jodie Sweetin]] (''Full House'') and [[Melanie Wilson (actress)|Melanie Wilson]] (''Perfect Strangers''). For the late Spring and Summer of 1992, ABC ran a promotional contest that chose winners from around the country to host ''TGIF'' for a week from their own homes. Those that were chosen were instructed to videotape their own segments from home, giving commentary on the shows that would air on the week they were scheduled to be featured. Families, individuals, groups of friends, couples, and most prominently teenagers were among the winners. The voiceover narration format from ''TGIF'' stars returned for the late Spring and Summer of 1993. This time, however, a rotation of stars would simply voice previews over upcoming episode scenes. As with the "TGIF Trivia" format in 1991, a single star β among them, [[Brandon Call]] (''Step by Step'') and Jo Marie Payton (''Family Matters'') β would handle the duties each week. Payton, in particular, had the distinction of having one of the weeks she did segment narrations on August 6, 1993, when ''Perfect Strangers'' (where her ''Family Matters'' character Harriette Winslow originated) aired its series finale. From 1994 to 1999, it would either be one (original on-camera host segments) or the other (voiceover narration format) during the summer months.
