Next 2 NBC Game Show Specials Welcome Your Input
Damian Sullivan
that NBC is currently assembling 2 more installments of the
"MOST OUTRAGEOUS GAME SHOW MOMENTS" specials, and just as
before, I wanted to respectfully welcome any suggestions,
video archive assistance, research leads -- or anything of
value that anyone feels they might want to put forward.
We're going to try once again to include as many of your
suggestions in the final broadcasts, and hopefully we
demonstrated with the first special that we take a sincere
interest in your ideas and feedback. If you have ANYTHING
of value you care to offer -- from a memory of a single
funny moment to a complete video collection ... I'd like
very, very much to hear from you.
I can be reached by e-mail at: calld...@aol.com
Some areas of interest for the next 2 shows where
we could use assistance include:
HOLLYWOOD SQUARES (Peter Marshall era) -- looking for
as many wild and funny moments from the as-aired shows
as possible. If anyone keeps track of the GSN airings
and makes notes of the funnier moments, I'd love to know.
LET'S MAKE A DEAL -- Same situation. We had a VERY hard time
unearthing many funny moments last time, so if there's a
DEAL expert out there who can help, please contact me.
BILL CULLEN -- We want to include as many funny moments
as possible of Bill in the new shows, so if you know of any,
please make contact.
TOM KENNEDY -- It's our hope to have Tom included in the
coming specials, so if anyone can help isolate the funniest
moments featuring Tom -- from ANY shows -- I'd love to hear
from you.
FAMILY FEUD -- ALL versions -- Family Feud is one of the
best shows for funny moments -- if anyone can ID any funny
moments we HAVEN'T shown in the first show, it would be
extremely valuable.
FOREIGN SHOWS -- We would love to include as many funny moments
from U.K. and other foreign game shows as possible, so if anyone
has any leads, or knows of specific foreign collectors,
researchers, etc., I would like very much to hear from you.
It's my hope these 2 new specials will be a topic of
interest for the ATGS group (as I've been told the last one was),
and I'll do my best to keep the posts relevant and worthwhile.
Thanks very much in advance to everyone who responds,
and I'll do my best to make the next 2 shows funny and entertaining.
Respectfully,
Damian Sullivan

There was a clip shown on GSN in the early days about "The Life of
Bill Cullen" (it featured celebs and Bill's wife talking about him)
and on of the clips they showed was Bill recusing himself on a 70s To
Tell The Truth. The guy was some sort of bird expert and Bill had
seen "him holding his bird in the bathroom" (or some such comment).

2 Fast Monies come to mind:
- "Name one of Sant's reindeer" The contestant replied "Snippy". As
Ray was recapping the answers he sang "Snippy, the snippy reindeer"
- From the week Roseanne faced Tom Arnold's then show, the old gal who
played Roseanne's mother was asked, I think, name something men have
two of. Now presumably she said 'balls' but it was bleeped about 3
times and even the board was pixelized.

Well, here's a moment I remember seeing on a blooper special (one of
Dick Clark's?).
"Scrabble" on NBC. A contestant has a letter P, she's given another
letter P. Chuck Woolery
asks what she wants to do. Contestant replies, "I guess I'm going to
have to take a P!"

Also, as was said earlier, the France/French blooper would be great...The
only problem I see with that is that the length would make it it's own
segment (And it'd most likely lose some of it's hilarity if edited down)

What about from The Joker's Wild when the contestant was at the bonus
round and the contestant pulled the lever too hard, and the lever came
apart. Or, from Joker! Joker! Joker! when a kid spun 3 jokers and
told Jack "I'll take the Joker!" Those are my picks.

GSN has in its library an episode of "Eye Guess" from very late in the run
featuring a very cheekily funny Cullen, bantering with announcer Jack Clark,
generally goofing on anything he can find, and awarding a parting contestant
a "Password" home game!

If it's out there, how about an episode of "It's Your Bet" hosted by Kennedy
in which he's practically threatened with bodily harm by Burt Reynolds?

Well, you did September, and Turkey Turkey Turkey. But there's one funny one
that got a big in studio laugh. The question was "Name another word for
detective", and the contestant very loudly says "DICK!" The audience erupts
and Dawson sheepishly asks, "May we see... what he said?"
I don't know if anyone has it, but there was at least one incident of the
Concentration (mechanical) game board going on the fritz during the Jack
Narz era. The board was supposed to turn back to all numbers at the end of
the game, and while Narz and the winning contestant were crossing to the
Double Play area, the board made a loud mechanical belching noise and the
next shot was of the game board in great disarray. Narz briefly regarded the
mess and went on with the show.

Why is that funny? The guy was genuinely pissed off at having been screwed
over.
*sigh* I guess people who think crap like that is funny is the reason the
show is still on the air.

The incident was that one of the contestants was a bird experct or
something. At the last minute Bill disqualified himself because he
said he met the guy in the bathroom before the show. The others then
wanted to know how he knew he was the right guy. Bill said inocently,
"Because he had his bird in his hand." Everyone just fell apart. It
was a funny moment.

My suggestions:

tape from Shokus Video, one contestant solves the rebus with no real
prizes on her side. Bob Clayton has trouble announcing the two kinds
of clovers that had been credited to her.
? From Jim Perry's _Card_Sharks_: On one of the GSN tapes Judy
Eschman in Florida sent me, the female contestant says that the
survey answer is printed on Perry's card, and he shows her that it
isn't.
? From _All-Star_Blitz_: The question is, "Blondes score better than
brunettes on something. What?" The panelist says intelligence tests,
and the fair-haired female contestant agrees. Peter Marshall checks
the contestant's hair and says, "It's real! Here's the clue!"
? From _Classic_Concentration_: Marjorie Goodson-Cutt is shown with a
fake mustache.
? Some of the contestant responses from _Strip_Poker_ would be
suitable, particularly the incident where both teams had the
Powerpuff Girls confused with the Masters of the Universe.

"Scrabble." Although it might be a little long, it won't even be half the
length as the France/French incident, and this one can be edited down. Just
take out the ones he got right!
From "Match Game:" I remember this one contestant that gave such a bad answer,
Gene said to her, "Are you sure you weren't supposed to be on 'Card Sharks?'"
Later on, in the second round, after her opponent gives another really bad
answer, he says, "Get the tie-breaker ready!" Indeed, he was right, as the two
had to do a tie-breaker! Only problem with this, though, is it's bits and
pieces of a whole game, not a whole segment, so it would be somewhat hard to
do.

Which would then lead us to the running gag on the UK version of
"Blockbusters"--the nervous teenage contestant blurting out "I'll take
a P, Bob (Holness)!" Don't know if this persisted in Liza Starbuck's
shows, but it was the running gag on the original.
Speaking of Starbuck, on last week's "Just a Minute!" (which can now
be heard on demand anytime for a week after the original broadcast on
BBC Radio 4), she had a hilarious run on the topic "Things You Should
Not Do in the Lift (elevator)," where the other panelists let her go
for 47 spectacularly funny seconds out of the minute. If you haven't
heard "JAM!" yet, do give it a shot--it is a game show and it's a lot
of fun to listen to (and Nicholas Parsons is still a sharp host, even
if some complain about his judgments).

1. Another Idea, you can do the famous "School" response from Match
Game. (it was about "Dumb Dora")
2. there was a contestant on Classic Concentraion who gave about 7
different answers to a puzzle (it may have felt like 7 answers)

Another _Match_Game_ moment that escaped me earlier today was the
"Admiral TV" incident. The Super Match audience match question was
"ADMIRAL {blank}", and Richard Dawson said "Admiral color
television". Gene Rayburn flipped when "Admiral TV" was revealed as
the highest-valued answer.

Off the top of my head:
-3's a Crowd: The final episode with secretary #1 and wife #1 telling
each other off throughout the whole show.
-Break the Bank: Premiere episode; Hilarity from Jan Murray on one of
the questions, and on the same question, Alice Ghostely had difficulty
bluffing. (Question: "It's a musculuar organ, and mine is the size of
my clenched fist. What is it?)
-$25,000 Pyramid: The Wednesday or Thursday episode of Week 5 from
'82;
Nipsey goes ballistic after a $25,000 win.
-$25,000 Pyramid: After a few seconds on unsuccessful clue giving to
the category Why You Make Love in the winner's circle round, Didi Conn
gives the clue: "Because you're horny as hell!"
-The Chair: Final episode; A contestant, whose name escapes me, trades
some smart-arsed comments with John McEnroe...only to end up winning
$0. It's the clip on Brad F's Theater page.
-The Dating Game: St. Patrick's Day 1972: One of the bachelorettes
accidently says "Good afternoon, Bitch!" to Butch Patrick.
-Hit Man: Diana is determined to prove that Marlon Brando played gay
characters.
-I've Got a Secret: Betsy Palmer's zipper to her dress pops during
questioning, and the whole thing almost falls off when Henry tries to
help her put it back.
-Joker Joker Joker: Jack Barry interviews Alec, who wants to be a game
show host when he grows up. Part of the exchange:
JB: "A game show host? You mean like me?"
Alec: "No, like Bob Barker."
Jack doesn't have much luck with getting Alec to mention TJW or Jack
at all after repeated attempts that followed.
-Match Game '73: Gene comes out where an awful plaid suit and matching
pants to which the celebs can not stand...and let Gene know it.
-Match Game '75: Gene climbs over the audience to reach the camera in
the back of the studio.
-Match Game PM: 1979; Contestant Nancy is so excited, she forgets the
name of her husband.
-Pass the Buck: I forget the episode number..during one round,
contestants have to make a 4 word sentence with the first and last
words having to rhyme.
It yields such answers as: "Dick has a stick," "Fran moved her can,"
and a couple other funny ones. Bill was beside himself.
-Password '67, Daytime: Another "great clue:" Eva Gabor completely
blows the word "Puff" because she thought it was "poof." The moment
was a lot funnier than it sounds here...
-Play the Percentages: Towards the end of an episode, Geoff gives away
the answer "India."
-Super Password: Elaine Joyce and Tom Poston try to make their
entrance, but the doors won't open.
-Tic Tac Dough: First day of the Over 80 Tourament; Contestant Janie
tells all about her 4 boyfriends: "I wake up in the morning with Will
Power, I go walking with Arthur Itis, I come home with Charlie Horse,
and I go to bed with Ben Gay!"
-Treasure Hunt, 1981: As part of a skit, Geoff explains the rules to
the game at lightning speed.
-Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Australian version: Richard Hatch
bombs on the $500 question, which ends up to be a hilarious 3 minute
moment.
That's all the specific examples I can think of at the moment.

Warner Cable interactive game show network.
The game was like Wheel of Forture, with numbers for blanks.
A viewer would call out a number and the letter was exposed and then was to
guess at the answer. Anyway, the host was Bill Myers, who was very quick on
his feet, like Dick Cavett. He remained calm during the following.
The answer was "The Count of Monte Cristo"
The called had the following to work with, after he called out number 6. "The
C56nt of Monte Cristo".
So, on semi-network television, for more than a minute, you had on-screen, The
C_unt of Monte Cristo.
IIRC, the cameras were shaking, the crew giggling and poor Bill Myers doing his
best to ignore them. A true classic moment.

That's it exactly, Jay. Having actually seen the episode when it
first aired, I might add that Bill's comment brought down the house.

Not to mention these commercial break tosses (at least in the non
sequitir department):
"We'll be back with our show--'Winner Take All'--after these
messages."
Admittedly, a little inside, but later:
"We'll return to our exciting drama after these words from Little
Orphan Annie."
Maybe you had to be there (and most of the younger demos won't get
it), but I got a charge out of them.

1. Somebody mentioned the Jack Clark "homo" moment from Crosswits. I
second that but wonder if it's really an urban legend.
2. Kitty Carlisle and Joe Garigiola on the 70's color version of "To Tell
the Truth". I know I'm recollecting this completely wrong, but it goes
something like this:
Kitty to contestant: Are you a fakir (fah-keer')?
Joe: WHAT?!! What did you you call her?!
Kitty: a fakir, you never heard of an indian fakir?
Joe: In my neighborhood that'll get you a fat lip!
3. On the very old "The Names the Same" which GSN ran a few years ago on
B&W Sunday, the contestant's name that the panel was trying to guess was
Ima Bra or A. Bra. The host, John Q. Lewis was quite nervous as the
panel established that she was a container of some sort and then a
panelist asked if she contained a solid or a liquid. The audience was
howling and I remember JQL wiping sweat from his brow and saying
something like "a little of both".
4. A classic Betsy Palmer moment from "I've Got a Secret" (you could do a
whole show just on her) with Dick Van Dyke that was just on GSN a few
days ago. Dick pantomimed a man getting an army physical and and
at one point turned his head and coughed which got some giggles from the
men in the audience. After Bill Cullen guessed the answer, Betsy asked
why smoke got in his eyes and Dick said that he was miming reading an eye
chart and Betsy said "No, I mean when you went <coughs>" and the all the
men in the audience and on stage laughed hysterically (especially Bill
Cullen) and Betsy was clueless as to why it was so funny. My description
doesn't do it justice. It's very funny.
5. On another episode of "Ive Got a Secret", Betsy made a funny comment
that caused the rest of the panel to get up and leave the stage. The
contestant had some sort of steam engine on stage and one of the
panelists asked if it was a particular type, a "Durrier" (?), and Betsy
said "No, that's your behind".
5. Another "I've Got a Secret" moment that I think is one of the funniest
things I've ever seen, but unfortunately it's not a 20 sec sound bite:
The contestants were a 14 yr old kid and his baby brother (2 yrs old?).
Their secret was that the older brother had put together a collection of
40 bugs for a science project and his little brother ate all the bugs.
The interaction of the little brother with the panel was very funny as
was the description by their mother of when she caught him feasting on
the bugs. I believe the show was from October 19, 1960 and Arlene
Francis was the celebrity guest that evening. You can probably edit down
to a reasonable length. If you watch it and decide to use it, the two
"kids" and their mother are still alive and living in Arkansas if you'd
like to talk to them. You can email me at xxCD...@yahoo.com (but leave
off the first two xx) for their phone number.

> MOST OUTRAGEOUS GAME SHOW MOMENTS
Here are a couple of recent segments that may not
have crossed your radar screen yet...
1. Hollywood Squares. Mothers Day Week, 2002 (Tuesday's
show, I believe).
(During the end credits, they ran this mistake from that
day's episode in an edited-down form on the left side of
the screen).
The contestant gives her agree-or-disagree answer,
and Tom Bergeron declares that she is correct, and gives
her the square.
You then see the look develop on the contestant's face,
and then on Tom's, as they both come to realize that it
was in fact the other contestant's turn.
This is followed by Tom good-naturedly chiding the celebrity
involved for taking so long in the reply that Tom simply lost
track of who's turn it was.
2. The Price is Right. June 6, 2002.
(NOTE: I realize that CBS has been less than cooperative
with you in the past, but you might want to add this to
your "wish list" just in case).
Several people in this group commented that day on the antics
that occurred during the Flip/Flop game, where Bob and then the
contestant spend some time to quite vigorously force a balky piece
of sliding cardboard out of the way to reveal that the contestant
has indeed won. A funny (and slightly alarming) bit.
As I mentioned, I know that CBS has been jealously guarding
its TPiR clips, so you might try loosening them up a bit with,
"Hey, even Jack Benny opened up the vault once in a while".

game" (in reference to a remark that Don Adams once made on a 1968 NBC
Hollywood Squares Eps.)
3 examples of this would include:
1. the aforementioned Don Adams remark from 1968
2. Peter Marshall remark to Paul Lynde during a 1972 Syndicated Show (you
got a show, why do you want another show ...)
3. Not Marshall era, but would fit the segement, the famous "You Fools".

Henry asked if it was a Duryea, then Betsy -- thinking he said
"derriere" -- just let fly with that "blonde moment".
Another goodie also appeared just a week or so again on the overnight
block: The night Peggy Cass brought 4 young boys with her so the
panel could have a contest to see who could get their kid into a
snowsuit, etc., fastest. Bess suddenly bursts out, "My zipper broke",
leaving her trying to dress the kid with one hand and hold her dress
up with the other.

Didn't he pick Tom up after winning the main game, jumped around the stage,
eventually fell off the stage and injured himself, then returned on a future
show to run the gauntlet because the treatment for his fall required a
hospital stay?

That is the infamous contestant named "Blackie" the Detective, who came back
to win $25K on the gauntlet.
How about the Kennedy "Name That Tune" episode which had a guy going ga-ga
over some hot female opponent. He asked her opponent if she knew how to
play motorboat. Tom asked what 'motorboat' was. The horny male contestant
said "you put your face between her boobs and....."
And yes, I have that clip on tape!

Wanna trade? :-D
I assume Tom lost it big time, even worse than the French/France incident on
Password Plus?

A similar incident occured in the Catch Phrase bonus round...the contestant
wanted to try and guess phrase F, so he said "I'll take the letter F, Art!"

On the last tape I sent Damian, I included a clip of a contestant's answer
for "Name something that falls from the sky"...what did she say? "Bird
<insert strike buzzer here>"...and everyone, Ray included, completely lost
it.

Is the humor here something beyond the idea of birds falling from the
sky? Because I wouldn't have ruled out that being an answer.

I'm wondering how the female contestant handled it? Of course that would be a
sexual harassment suit today. :-)

I presume that the humor comes from the strike buzzer being inserted
over another word that followed "bird", probably "shit" or some
euphemism for same.
