Signature Transition	comment	One thing that can make a show distinctive is to have a catchy way of changing between scenes or segments. Whether it's with a jingle, a particular graphic, or possibly a catchphrase, it can become an iconic part of the show if it's done right, to the point where someone who may have never seen the actual show would recognize it by seeing/hearing the transition. While this is often done with visual gimmicks like Idiosyncratic Wipes and Eye Catches, some shows are known for these transitions being done by the cast, as some celebrities, especially hosts of game shows and talk shows, have a signature way of making a transition from one part of their show to another. This often involves a combination of an action or gesture of some sort and a catchphrase, although only one or the other can be used. These often intersect with a show's Running Gags.

Signature Transition / int_5c836507	comment	In the original '60s and '70s version of The Dating Game: Host Jim Lange would introduce the three bachelors by announcing "And heeere they are!" and doing an extravagant pointing to the area of the stage where they were seated, which was the cue for the partition to turn and reveal them to the contestant. At the end of the show, the host and the winning couples would, on cue, fade back and blow the viewers a kiss, accompanied by the word "Kiss" appearing onscreen and approaching the camera, which was followed by the closing credits.

Signature Transition / int_94d662bb	comment	With rare exceptions, Lost Pause's videos start with Noble saying and/or doing something very silly, which then cuts to "DOY" on a black screen (with Noble saying the word, which is similar to "D'oh!") and then cuts back to Noble welcoming viewers back to the channel. These videos usually end with Noble giving his Signing Off Catchphrase, which then immediately cuts to an animation of the channel's mascot Lily saying "You crazy mutha-" which then cuts to the closing credits.

Prior to the debut of his Live2D model, he would also make the "box" or "ball holding" hand gestures while saying the opening statement.

Signature Transition / int_cd34a1e5	comment	Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In: Dan Rowan introduced Dick Martin for "News of the Present" with the Motor Mouthed intro phrase "And now for the News of the Present, here's the man for whom the news wouldn't be the news without the news. Heeeeeere's Dicky!" along with turning and pointing from his waist. When Dick finished his bit, he mimed swinging a golf club to transition over to Goldie Hawn so she could introduce Dan for "News of the Future". The "Cocktail Party" skit was almost always introduced by Rowan, at the end of the opening monologue, saying something about going to the party and inviting the audience to join them; he and Martin would then walk through a double door into the Party's set.

Announcer Ed McMahon's iconic "And now, ladies and gentlemen, heeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Johnny!" was Carson's cue to come on stage to greet the crowd and begin his opening monologue. Once Carson's opening bit was done, he segued to the subsequent orchestral performance by miming swinging a golf club.
