Did those guys you mentioned actually do the show? I know Burt Reynolds was a frequent participant on Win, Lose or Draw, but I haven't seen him on other game shows. Can you IMAGINE Sylvester Stallone on this game show? He would be terrible at it, just about as unintelligible as Ozzy Osbourne, especially back then.
I don't recognize the celebrities very often, though I do know people like Markie Post and Nipsey Russel. I also recognized the guy who played Tackleberry in the Police Academy movies without having to be told who he was. Like another poster said, a lot of the others were actors from soap operas or forgotten TV shows of that era like St. Elsewhere.

Burt Reynolds actually produced win, lose or Draw. That's why you saw him on all those episodes. The thing with the Pyramid was, that you actually had to try out for it if you were a celebrity I think. They didn't just let anybody on the show because they were a celebrity. If they sucked, they didn't get on the show. That's why you really don't see any bad players on it. In the 70's, they did let bad players on it. But in the 80's, players had that game down to a science and you saw mostly good play.
