No... there was a flat rate for everyone and it was union scale, $73.92 per episode. But it was only 2 or 3 hours of work, so not too bad. I'm thinking the host got more that that, as he had to be there for 7 shows a week. But, if he got the same union scale it would be $517.44 a week, not too bad for the 1970s. I think they did a couple of shows a day, so it was probably only a 3 or 4-day work week. I suspect a lot of the stars did it for fun, or could squeeze it in between their other gigs.
