Shock Value Week: Game Show Special (with JJ, Tom & Mike Ensing!)

[00:00:52] It's a Jacked Up Review Show

[00:00:56] We're having a hell of a time here talking about outrageous, infamous, classic, and downright

[00:01:05] bizarre game shows from every era.

[00:01:09] Great topic by James.

[00:01:12] And glad to have Mike Ensing back in the house.

[00:01:17] And Tom the dog master himself, Lindemann is back at it.

[00:01:23] Is that Tom's dog?

[00:01:25] What's going on over there?

[00:01:29] He's a talker.

[00:01:31] He wants to be on a dog game show.

[00:01:35] There's probably been one.

[00:01:37] That's right.

[00:01:38] I knew I saw you at the Thanksgiving dog parade.

[00:01:50] He's chiming in.

[00:01:52] He likes the puppy bowl.

[00:01:55] That's the way my cats go after each other.

[00:02:01] I think my cats are stone, so I'm just sitting there going, how's it going?

[00:02:06] Good man.

[00:02:07] Good.

[00:02:08] We're in Mella.

[00:02:10] Catnip man.

[00:02:11] Something's in there.

[00:02:14] So this is a great talk by James and I just was just like, yeah, we're going to have

[00:02:19] to circle around because I try to avoid reality TV but there is something unique about a

[00:02:24] game show in that before it became kind of celebrity-centric or based on kind of

[00:02:30] uninspired questions.

[00:02:32] I do kind of like how it was kind of like the daily crossword puzzle you get in your

[00:02:37] newspaper where you're just like, hey, if they can solve it so can you.

[00:02:42] Yeah.

[00:02:44] What do you got?

[00:02:44] The world and connections today.

[00:02:48] Go for it.

[00:02:49] Any guys in the history of game shows that are those who are successful and those

[00:02:53] are kind of like failed in the picture?

[00:02:57] Before it became about who's my baby mama or who wants to be the

[00:03:03] fiance to this rich guy we got no chemistry with is like when the dating

[00:03:07] shit or surviving on an island took over I was done.

[00:03:11] Yeah, there's that.

[00:03:12] There are all the game shows, sure.

[00:03:14] Oh, don't like, Steve Harvey does it now and I'm like, yeah, no.

[00:03:18] Yeah.

[00:03:18] It's not entertaining.

[00:03:19] He has no friends.

[00:03:21] It's not.

[00:03:22] I mean, that was the one thing back then when we were all growing up.

[00:03:25] It was the hosts that did it.

[00:03:27] You're only as good as the host.

[00:03:28] And like the talk shows, yeah.

[00:03:31] We've got we grew up watching a lot of guys like Peter Marshall, Bob

[00:03:36] Barker, the King Bob Barker, Peter Marshall, you know, Jean Rayburn,

[00:03:43] Jean Ray, oh yeah, Jean Rayburn with Max Gaine, you know, Richard Dawson,

[00:03:50] you know, Pat St. Jack, who's going to be retiring at the end of this

[00:03:54] year. I can't believe that.

[00:03:57] People like Martin Dale, Mark Dale and who was the guy who did

[00:04:03] his wink, Martin Dale, then there was Jean Barry.

[00:04:06] And then there was the guy who did the dating.

[00:04:09] Get around Lang, Jim Lang, Jim Lang.

[00:04:12] Yeah, there you go.

[00:04:13] Bob Eubanks and Bob Eubanks.

[00:04:15] Yeah.

[00:04:15] In for footnote, Bob Eubanks is the guy who brought the Beatles to Los

[00:04:20] Angeles. Oh, that's right.

[00:04:22] Yeah, he was a DJ.

[00:04:27] And he introduces them at the Hollywood Bowl, I believe.

[00:04:30] Yeah. Yeah.

[00:04:31] Yeah. He banked.

[00:04:32] He actually had to bankroll it to get them there.

[00:04:35] And, you know, he's like, I was like, Holy shit, Eubanks did that.

[00:04:40] He's like, yeah, when he stopped doing, we stopped being a DJ.

[00:04:43] He became a game show host.

[00:04:45] And then there's game show hosts that we, you know,

[00:04:47] but it's always been the host that makes the show first.

[00:04:50] And then the premise of the show that makes it great.

[00:04:55] Yeah, they have to have charisma.

[00:04:57] Yeah. And I can remember watching I've got a secret

[00:05:04] with my mom.

[00:05:06] No, this is they they have.

[00:05:09] They still have the old I've got a secret TV show like the tapes.

[00:05:14] They I think they saved them on Kinescope.

[00:05:16] And then the guy who was

[00:05:23] forgot his name, somebody could look it up for me.

[00:05:26] But the great thing about I got a secret was was that,

[00:05:30] you know, you had three contestants there, they would bring somebody in

[00:05:34] and they'd have to guess that's that's means like the first real.

[00:05:37] Oh, yes. OK.

[00:05:38] So I got this mixed up with what it was derived from.

[00:05:41] What's my line?

[00:05:42] What's my line? Yeah, what's my line?

[00:05:43] And I've got a secret.

[00:05:45] And what's my line was the same way, you know?

[00:05:48] You know, they were well, the contestants signed in, please.

[00:05:51] You know, it would be somebody famous and they put the masks on.

[00:05:54] They'd be like, you know, Jerry Moore and Steve Allen among many.

[00:05:58] Yeah. Yeah.

[00:05:59] And that's my line had the masks.

[00:06:02] Yeah. Yeah.

[00:06:04] And I used to have I used to have a and no guys.

[00:06:08] It wasn't a kinky show.

[00:06:09] You know, I said the paperback work history of television

[00:06:12] had like one picture of shows from like the fifties all the way to seventies.

[00:06:17] And I've got a and I remember them saying no one really cares much

[00:06:20] about the flimsy secrets.

[00:06:22] It was the dynamic of the contestant or the

[00:06:26] the celebrities that were trying to get there. Yeah.

[00:06:28] And it was always like Katie Carlyle or Steve Allen,

[00:06:33] Dorothy Kilgallon, Bennett, surf.

[00:06:37] Dorothy Kilgallon is best well known for being,

[00:06:40] I think a gossip house that she was found dead in her apartment.

[00:06:44] Oh, Lord.

[00:06:45] Going to blow the oh, yeah, she was going to blow the lid on the Kennedys,

[00:06:49] the whole Kennedy assassination.

[00:06:51] And then they found her mysteriously.

[00:06:53] She passed away. Yeah.

[00:06:54] Conspiracy theory number 508.

[00:06:57] Yeah. Yeah.

[00:06:58] I don't have a question like that.

[00:07:00] That's all their projects.

[00:07:00] That's all their projects.

[00:07:03] Anyway, that show and then there was to tell the truth.

[00:07:06] You know, I've got me what's my line?

[00:07:08] I've got a secret to tell the truth.

[00:07:10] Ernie Kovacs had a game show.

[00:07:12] Called.

[00:07:16] What was it called?

[00:07:17] Shit, I just had on my top tip of my tongue.

[00:07:20] Take a good look.

[00:07:22] No, which was kind of like he.

[00:07:25] This is how you're involved with Dutch mass.

[00:07:27] Take a good look. OK. Yeah.

[00:07:28] Take a good look.

[00:07:29] And.

[00:07:31] His thing was he would get he would do three clues for somebody.

[00:07:35] And you had to guess who they were.

[00:07:37] And the panelists he had on were cool.

[00:07:40] So like Hans Conreed, Cesar Romero,

[00:07:42] Eddie Adams, Janet Lee was on one.

[00:07:46] I think I saw that in a doc one time.

[00:07:48] That yes. Yeah.

[00:07:50] And then there's the one that Gleason did.

[00:07:55] Oh, I'm sorry.

[00:07:57] Jumping the gun.

[00:07:57] It's OK for the next week.

[00:07:59] You're in the picture.

[00:08:00] It was called you're in the picture around once.

[00:08:05] It was Johnny Carson on the first show.

[00:08:08] OK, so basically the premise of the show was.

[00:08:13] To you know, there's all time he cut out things

[00:08:15] if you would stick your head in and you'd be like, you know, OK.

[00:08:18] So what happened was was that.

[00:08:22] He does this and they're trying to figure out what's going on

[00:08:25] and it becomes mayhem and he's like, hold it, hold it, hold it.

[00:08:29] Yeah, you know, he's like and Johnny Carson says, you know,

[00:08:31] we're going to look on this one day and just be like,

[00:08:33] what the hell are we doing here?

[00:08:37] They're facing the pitcher didn't know what the pitch.

[00:08:40] And they had to know what the picture was.

[00:08:42] What's in the picture?

[00:08:43] I think I remember reading that was on two weeks, one,

[00:08:47] they aired it and the next week he spent the whole half hour apologizing.

[00:08:52] I think that's actually true.

[00:08:54] You know, you screwed up.

[00:08:55] Yeah, he's sitting there.

[00:08:57] He's sitting there in the studio.

[00:08:58] The studio is just dark, right?

[00:09:00] And the audience is there and he's like, great, good, great.

[00:09:02] Like, listen, last week we laid the biggest bomb

[00:09:07] and he was drinking from a coffee cup and there was

[00:09:12] we think the coffee cup.

[00:09:14] There's always somebody to blame for this.

[00:09:17] Always somebody to blame.

[00:09:19] And I kept trying to think who it was, who it was, who it was.

[00:09:22] He says, and I realized it's the guy who turns around and says, you're on.

[00:09:26] Yeah.

[00:09:28] So.

[00:09:30] But games have a darker side too, because there's the the

[00:09:35] Herbert Stemple, Charles Van Dorn, you know,

[00:09:41] sure, the pay it.

[00:09:42] Yeah, the.

[00:09:43] Twenty one dollar question.

[00:09:45] Twenty one was twenty one twenty one.

[00:09:47] Yeah, that's right.

[00:09:48] Yeah, twenty one.

[00:09:49] And that kind of put game shows on the back burner for a little while.

[00:09:54] They were all there were little ones.

[00:09:55] You know, they came on like, you know, like Make Me Last,

[00:09:57] which was the original version of Make Me Last.

[00:10:00] Well, OK, there were there were like little fun game shows,

[00:10:04] you know, like, you know, Kids Quiz and all that stuff.

[00:10:08] It wasn't until the late 60s

[00:10:11] that game shows started to make a comeback.

[00:10:14] And the first big one I can remember reading about was Hollywood Squares.

[00:10:20] Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[00:10:22] I'm just a matter of which version you pick.

[00:10:25] And yeah, it always had a lot going for it.

[00:10:28] And and no one got hurt.

[00:10:30] The original version was.

[00:10:34] You know, the guy, the guy who created it was like, OK,

[00:10:37] we're going to get all these celebrities.

[00:10:38] We're going to get nice celebrities, put them in a big stage.

[00:10:42] And we're going to have them do tic-tac-toe.

[00:10:45] The thing is, is that we're going to ask the celebrities questions

[00:10:48] if they know the answer, they've got to get the person to agree with them.

[00:10:53] And I remember who they want, who they had.

[00:10:56] And they had like Charlie Weaver.

[00:10:59] Yes.

[00:11:01] Wally, Charlie Weaver was Cliff Arquette.

[00:11:03] That was Rosé and Arquette's grandfather.

[00:11:05] Yeah.

[00:11:06] Well, Charlie Weaver, Charlie Weaver, George Goble.

[00:11:10] My personal favorite, Mr. Paul and Paul.

[00:11:17] Rich Will.

[00:11:17] Michael Square was on there a few times.

[00:11:20] It's a fun wrinkles.

[00:11:21] What was that talking?

[00:11:23] I know Rich Little did had a few appearances.

[00:11:27] Yeah.

[00:11:28] Rich Little, Rosemary, Mori Amsterdam.

[00:11:31] Everybody.

[00:11:33] The new version wasn't shabby either with

[00:11:35] would be Goldberg and Gilbert Godfrey just like when he repeatedly

[00:11:39] did some to Mel Brooks.

[00:11:44] Oh, really?

[00:11:45] It's a couple. Yeah.

[00:11:47] OK.

[00:11:47] Yeah, I seem to recall that.

[00:11:49] I remember the Mike Douglas talk show.

[00:11:52] I think that man Marshall on and I forget the comedian,

[00:11:56] but there was a comedian that was on panel and he was a hyper.

[00:11:59] He was just really just on a roll.

[00:12:01] He's really funny.

[00:12:02] And what is this with you in this game show?

[00:12:04] Well, you're talking to a bunch of people

[00:12:05] in an apartment building.

[00:12:06] What were the catches on fire?

[00:12:08] You know, like three levels.

[00:12:10] You know, the set looks like rear window or something.

[00:12:12] You know, the him my father once in a speech

[00:12:15] he was working on to Mike Douglas's email and long story short,

[00:12:19] Mike Douglas was not too impressed by it.

[00:12:20] So it was both an honor and kind of a punch in the face at the same time.

[00:12:26] Wow. Yeah, emails were

[00:12:29] like this show was on for quite a few years.

[00:12:31] Yeah, it was all it was a daytime talk show.

[00:12:33] But anyway, we're getting away from games now.

[00:12:35] It's fine.

[00:12:36] But yeah, I remember it was, you know, because then all of a sudden

[00:12:43] like that came along and then that was that was just so because

[00:12:48] I remember people were trying to think what's Paul Lind going to say

[00:12:52] because he was in work at Star in that show.

[00:12:56] Because, you know, he always be like, Paul, if you're if you walk into a room

[00:13:00] and your wall is brown, your ceiling is brown

[00:13:04] and your floor is brown, does that mean you're made exploded?

[00:13:12] Now, I was in other ones had writers or they it was off the cuff.

[00:13:18] It felt a lot like Mystery Science Theater.

[00:13:21] It sounds spontaneous, but they have writers.

[00:13:23] You know, I want to say, yeah, I want to say they have writers.

[00:13:27] They must have.

[00:13:28] They had writers and I think some I think 75% were writers.

[00:13:33] And 25% was off the 25% was off the cuff.

[00:13:36] Yeah, because there were the people that were funny

[00:13:39] that could come up with something.

[00:13:41] And then there were people that could be that weren't funny.

[00:13:44] And they were just like, they would just read the answer and they'd be like,

[00:13:46] oh, OK, no, no, no, no, no, you know, like they do that.

[00:13:49] Do you wonder if once in a while they gave them a line before the show

[00:13:53] and then they made up their own later? You know, yeah.

[00:13:56] Yeah, yeah, there was some kind of bending of the rules a bit.

[00:14:01] Let's talk about match game, I guess, a little bit now that shirt of

[00:14:05] match game was my jam.

[00:14:08] And shared an hour with Hollywood Squares at one point.

[00:14:11] Yeah, everybody.

[00:14:13] John Bowser, Bob.

[00:14:17] And what risk case stuff they could kind of get away with a little bit

[00:14:21] where you're like, oh, I'm not sure how they're going to respond to that.

[00:14:25] If Paul if Paul Lynn and Charlie, you know, Charlie Weaver

[00:14:28] and all those guys were the mainstays on.

[00:14:33] You know, Hollywood Squares,

[00:14:36] the mainstays on match game were Charles Nelson, Riley, Brett Summer,

[00:14:40] Benny White. Yep.

[00:14:43] Richard Dawson, Richard Dawson.

[00:14:45] Yeah, yeah.

[00:14:46] Grabbing us Richard Dawson.

[00:14:48] I think. Job from family feud.

[00:14:52] From doing match game.

[00:14:55] Because if I can remember correctly, like he was on right after that.

[00:15:00] I think so.

[00:15:01] Yeah, there was a there was a perfect.

[00:15:06] The controversy because Richard Dawson

[00:15:11] and the people who were putting on that game

[00:15:14] were not getting along.

[00:15:17] And he basically he just took his ball and went on his own way.

[00:15:22] And there it was sad.

[00:15:27] It's on YouTube.

[00:15:28] There's an incident while they used to drink on that show.

[00:15:32] A day.

[00:15:34] So the Friday show.

[00:15:35] Really.

[00:15:36] But there was an incident where Dawson did not match the contestant,

[00:15:41] but then he insisted he was thinking what they said.

[00:15:45] So they should have.

[00:15:46] And he was just I think he had a few.

[00:15:49] It is not good if you can find it as a meltdown on match game.

[00:15:52] It's classic TV.

[00:15:56] And they can't you know, they didn't.

[00:15:59] It's really it's it's scary.

[00:16:01] You know, and I'm going.

[00:16:05] OK, all right.

[00:16:07] Yeah, yeah, he's coming down.

[00:16:10] It's it's you can find it on YouTube.

[00:16:12] This makes you guys fans of Charles Nelson Raleigh.

[00:16:15] Or were you already familiar with him?

[00:16:17] Oh, oh, the ghost emissions mirror the TV show.

[00:16:21] We have to go.

[00:16:23] Here, Bill and the puff and stuff.

[00:16:26] No, no, it wasn't.

[00:16:28] No, the Lidsville Lidsville.

[00:16:32] And then he did Uncle Crocs block.

[00:16:35] OK, and he was he was, you know,

[00:16:37] and that's what made him so popular because he was just,

[00:16:40] you know, he was just a really funny, witty guy.

[00:16:43] And, you know, he gives a shit if he was.

[00:16:45] I mean, you know, I didn't know back then, you know, those guys were were gay.

[00:16:49] You know, back then it was confirmed bachelor or something like that.

[00:16:54] I heard another podcast.

[00:16:56] I won't mention because it may not be true, but he would to

[00:17:00] he would taunt the other contestants and under they couldn't hear it on the air.

[00:17:04] But oh, yeah, it's custom out while they're talking.

[00:17:08] Yeah, that to just get them riled up.

[00:17:10] Oh, yeah, I think he was kind of I think he was kind of mean.

[00:17:13] He didn't bring with you.

[00:17:16] Whether we're talking in game in.

[00:17:18] Oh, yeah.

[00:17:20] I don't know if it's true, but it's not.

[00:17:23] It's not. Well, he's dead and we're not.

[00:17:26] So yeah, fair game now.

[00:17:30] But what's that?

[00:17:31] What's that come out of the walls over here?

[00:17:32] I do actually like the new Alec Baldwin version of match game.

[00:17:36] It's not anymore.

[00:17:37] Yeah, I caught a few of those.

[00:17:39] The guests were just a lot of fun because they were just pretty much half

[00:17:42] the time just pranking him and he's like, oh, no, oh, no, no, no,

[00:17:46] you can't draw that on there. We can't hear that.

[00:17:49] Well, you're back to Hollywood Squares.

[00:17:51] There was a kids version on Saturday morning for a short while

[00:17:54] called Storybook Squares.

[00:17:56] Well, I think it has some of the same

[00:18:00] people, but I swear they made six of them and just kept repeating them

[00:18:05] because I used to like to watch it when I was a kid.

[00:18:09] And I saw this, you know, every

[00:18:10] they kept repeating them like like a Bugs Money cartoon over and over.

[00:18:14] Well, wow.

[00:18:16] It was also going way back.

[00:18:18] There's a kids show called Shenanigans,

[00:18:23] which was a big game board.

[00:18:26] Yep. And the kids would walk around in it.

[00:18:29] And there was a great host.

[00:18:30] Yes, W.K.

[00:18:32] There was this great hardware down the street from us that sold the board game.

[00:18:36] Yeah, you could actually buy it.

[00:18:39] It was a great hardware.

[00:18:40] They had games back there going back to the 40s, I swear, when I was

[00:18:43] in the 60s, I just remember the whole world of games.

[00:18:48] They had shenanigans and I never knew.

[00:18:50] But I remember that they had like all kinds of props

[00:18:53] and they'd spin a wheel and all kinds of giant dice or something.

[00:18:58] It was really cool.

[00:18:59] There's also a bunch of.

[00:19:01] But the kids are like, oh, this is not a big board.

[00:19:03] Yeah. Yeah.

[00:19:05] Nickelodeon had a bunch of game shows like that, too.

[00:19:08] But there's one on CBS Saturday mornings that I vaguely remember

[00:19:13] that I thought was a game show.

[00:19:15] Like for like me, I can't remember what it was.

[00:19:19] Wait a minute. Was it was it junior as you?

[00:19:23] You know what? As you what was it?

[00:19:26] Junior, it was junior something.

[00:19:28] It was actually it wasn't.

[00:19:31] It was on like senior year. No, shit.

[00:19:35] Let me see.

[00:19:39] I saw when you're talking morning when you're talking about.

[00:19:46] You're talking about the the the match game

[00:19:51] with Charles Nelson Riley, he would him and Brett Summer sometimes go at it

[00:19:55] like, you know, an old married couple.

[00:19:58] But it's not as bad as like, you know, what?

[00:20:01] What when we when we all found out on another podcast

[00:20:04] that Paul Lind was a vicious anti-Semitic asshole.

[00:20:09] You know, when you get drunk between the between the shows and be like,

[00:20:14] because, you know, he starts saying stuff and people, you know,

[00:20:18] I was like, but the one I love is him and Peter Marshall snuck into the

[00:20:22] the gold diggers, which were D.

[00:20:25] Martin's, I think dancers or singers or something like that.

[00:20:28] They snuck into the dressing room and, you know, they're walking around there

[00:20:32] and Paul Lind turns to Peter Marshall says, smells like pussy.

[00:20:37] I think I think yeah.

[00:20:41] But yeah, I remember I remember matching.

[00:20:43] Matching was like, like kind of like at some point, I just remember

[00:20:48] like they had people on there that I'm like, I'm like trying to look up.

[00:20:52] I'm like, oh, they had the guy who was the the the the assistant on Vegas.

[00:20:58] Brett, what's his name?

[00:21:00] Jesus, I can picture him.

[00:21:03] I know you're talking about.

[00:21:04] Yeah, or they'd have Fanny flag on or.

[00:21:07] Yeah, you know.

[00:21:11] And there's another show that my wife watches called Celebrity Bowling.

[00:21:16] That that's still going.

[00:21:19] It's it's no, no, it's not still going.

[00:21:22] They have the original shows on YouTube.

[00:21:25] OK, Pluto, Pluto or Tubi.

[00:21:29] And it's like one one week they'll have like Dick Martin and Bob Newhart versus

[00:21:35] you know, interesting.

[00:21:40] When the poor, you know, like, like I'm trying to think like, you know,

[00:21:45] Dick Martin and then Artie Johnson versus, you know, and this person.

[00:21:49] And it's like you're watching like the funniest thing is the worst

[00:21:53] bowlers on that game were the Lenin sisters from the old Waltz Walk show.

[00:21:58] They scored a combined like 100 or something like that.

[00:22:02] Say the best the best bowler on that show was Roy Rogers.

[00:22:09] Roy Rogers can hit a strike like nope, like with nobody's business.

[00:22:13] And then the funny thing is he's a gunfighter after all.

[00:22:18] Yeah. Or else he'd shoot the pins down, right?

[00:22:20] Yeah.

[00:22:21] They had a couple with with Donna.

[00:22:24] There was one it's my one of my favorite ones, it's Norm Crosby,

[00:22:29] Gabe Kaplan, Pat Harrington and Shelly Berman.

[00:22:35] Well, that's awesome.

[00:22:36] Talk about talk about your comic, you know, your comedian comedians.

[00:22:41] But you know, you see a lot of people on there, you're like,

[00:22:44] what were they famous for?

[00:22:46] You know, and then you look up later, you're like, oh,

[00:22:48] oh, that's what they are famous for.

[00:22:50] Yeah. Right.

[00:22:51] It wasn't just that one thing.

[00:22:53] There's also a match game ripoff.

[00:22:56] You know, almost called rhyming reason that last.

[00:23:00] Oh my God. Oh, where everything had to rhyme.

[00:23:03] Yeah. I'll remember about that show was at one point.

[00:23:06] I think it was Jack Carter or one of the comedians is called

[00:23:09] rhyming rodent. Oh, I was going around the tubes or something.

[00:23:16] Bob Eubanks. Oh my God.

[00:23:19] Nipsey, I think Nipsey Russell was a regular because he always would do rhymes.

[00:23:23] I think he was like the mainstay of that show.

[00:23:25] This is before rap music took off.

[00:23:27] Yeah. Yep.

[00:23:29] I did find that game show

[00:23:31] appear on Saturday morning on the CBS.

[00:23:33] It's called the Way Out Games.

[00:23:36] Wait a minute.

[00:23:37] Was that the one with I think the one time the Brady kids were on it?

[00:23:41] The athletic competition show.

[00:23:44] OK. Yep. It might be that.

[00:23:48] But well, they would always tie in the network.

[00:23:50] The charity were always due to times where there are other shows that was promoted.

[00:23:53] Yeah. Like what was the one with the in the 70s where they they would compete?

[00:23:59] What was that called?

[00:24:01] Battle Network Stars.

[00:24:03] Yeah, battle the network.

[00:24:04] I was on that.

[00:24:07] It was on ABC. It was all the ABC stars.

[00:24:10] Back when it was just fun to just see one compete.

[00:24:12] It was it was all three networks.

[00:24:14] It was everyone.

[00:24:17] One network.

[00:24:18] So there was the CBS team, the ABC team and the NBC team.

[00:24:23] So the one time I remember Bob Conrad got into a fight with.

[00:24:28] Yes.

[00:24:30] With over relay race gave capital.

[00:24:33] Oh, OK.

[00:24:34] Back harder.

[00:24:35] And then Robert Conrad was on Bob, Bob Blacksheep at the time, right?

[00:24:40] So they're having a relay race and something happened with the baton or something like that.

[00:24:46] And Bob Robert Conrad was like, you know, no, they got to be disqualified.

[00:24:50] They got to be. No, that's not, you know, you guys cheat.

[00:24:53] You got to be disqualified.

[00:24:54] And like there comes a look, it's just a race.

[00:24:57] Don't worry about it, you know?

[00:25:00] And, you know, it's like it was fun because you got to see a lot of

[00:25:03] like the girls back then in like swimsuit.

[00:25:06] You like, oh, baby.

[00:25:07] But, you know, wow.

[00:25:10] Joyce, I'm not saying anything, but I'm not not saying anything.

[00:25:15] They had Linda Carter on one another.

[00:25:17] They said the 200 percent that one.

[00:25:22] It's great to see Teli Savales, you know, not in any of the field,

[00:25:26] you know, just basically playing pool or something like that.

[00:25:30] Angels was on about the same time.

[00:25:33] Sure. Yeah.

[00:25:34] But it's pretty much when Aaron Spelling got a career.

[00:25:36] So, yeah, that's. Yes.

[00:25:40] I was just going to say, great book on 1974 called.

[00:25:45] I can't remember the name of it, but it was.

[00:25:47] Well, the television kind of drifted away after 74, like happy days

[00:25:53] was number one step all the family.

[00:25:55] They kind of went back to the old.

[00:25:57] Full key shows again were up until 74 things got more relevant.

[00:26:04] I think that's where you saw like apples way and all that stuff.

[00:26:07] And that's the jiggle shows came in and that was, you know,

[00:26:11] after family hour was established, then the jiggle shows arrived.

[00:26:17] But in the 70s is very interesting.

[00:26:20] It's it's a it went through a lot of it.

[00:26:22] Like every year was almost different,

[00:26:25] different approach to what they wanted to show.

[00:26:27] Yeah. Before it was so apparent that, hey, we had a change

[00:26:30] in network is X and they want this kind of thing versus that kind of thing.

[00:26:35] Well, you can thank Mr. Mr.

[00:26:38] Ed, Fred Silverman for that stuff, because he was the wonder

[00:26:42] back then, as I said before, but anybody remember a show called Card Sharks?

[00:26:49] Yes, vaguely.

[00:26:51] I think I am religiously my my mom when I'd be home from school

[00:26:56] or be the summertime, I'd watch Card Sharks.

[00:26:58] I did not get and they had the one with the big dice.

[00:27:01] Remember, they'd roll the dice.

[00:27:02] I think so based on it.

[00:27:04] Yes. And you'd be like, you'd be they'd be like, OK, what do you got?

[00:27:08] You got a beach. I think you had to beat 21 or, you know,

[00:27:12] it was like high, you know, do you want to be the high card or the low card?

[00:27:15] And people would be like, oh, but the high card or low card, you know,

[00:27:18] and it was always it was always kind of like I watched that.

[00:27:21] I watched Sail of the Century.

[00:27:24] You remember that one? Oh, yes.

[00:27:25] Jim Berry. Yeah.

[00:27:28] No, was it Jim Berry? No, it was somebody else.

[00:27:31] Jim Perry. Oh, Jim Perry.

[00:27:33] Yeah, Jim. I saw a glimpse of it somewhere.

[00:27:35] I don't remember where. Yeah.

[00:27:38] Chuck Woolery did scrabble before he did or after he did.

[00:27:42] With his huge wheel of fortune.

[00:27:45] And the wheel of fortune.

[00:27:47] Yeah. So you also lay your love connection.

[00:27:51] Love connection.

[00:27:52] Oh, and then there's then there was that.

[00:27:56] And then there was my grandmother after she had her stroke with

[00:27:59] would sit in a wheelchair and my mom would put on pressure luck.

[00:28:03] Oh, yes. Peter to Markin.

[00:28:06] Yes, Peter to Markin.

[00:28:07] The one with the the way.

[00:28:10] OK, yeah, sure.

[00:28:12] But I remember my grandmother would always watch the whammy

[00:28:15] and she'd start laughing hysterically.

[00:28:17] I'd be like, here's this like 70 something year old woman laughing.

[00:28:20] And, you know, I'm going to have a heart attack or something

[00:28:23] because the way I was like, wasn't there a documentary about

[00:28:28] a guy that figured out the timing of that and he was able to meet it?

[00:28:31] Yes. He was a post.

[00:28:33] I think it was on Netflix. Sure.

[00:28:35] He was a postman.

[00:28:37] And what he did is he would he would go postal.

[00:28:40] And then. Sorry.

[00:28:43] No, I mean, he went to UPS.

[00:28:46] He would get the like the the the sequence down of where the whammy

[00:28:52] where the whammy wasn't where to stop.

[00:28:55] So he went on the show and I think he won, like.

[00:28:59] I don't know.

[00:29:00] A couple of grand and he retired like the all time champion.

[00:29:05] And later he's like, yeah, I kind of figured out how to, you know, beat the game

[00:29:10] because they were like, all right, you got to retire.

[00:29:12] You're like winning all these prizes and nobody's like nobody's like, you know,

[00:29:17] can beat you, you know, after like three weeks, it was just like, OK,

[00:29:20] get off the show, piss off.

[00:29:21] You know, the producers knew when I was going to pop up, it sounds like it wasn't random.

[00:29:27] He figured out what how they did.

[00:29:30] He figured out the flash would figure out.

[00:29:33] That's really weird.

[00:29:36] Meanwhile, I don't think.

[00:29:39] Wow.

[00:29:40] You remember, speaking of the 70s, there was a game show short lived called Money Maze.

[00:29:46] Oh, and I swear I watched it.

[00:29:50] And even as a teenager, I'm going, this is this is see me.

[00:29:53] The host would be up on the stage.

[00:29:56] The maze was down below.

[00:29:57] They had all camera set up and it was a married couple.

[00:30:03] The husband would run in the maze that she'd be telling him where to go

[00:30:06] to get to the money. Meanwhile, the host is like this with her.

[00:30:11] He's got his arm around her while the husband's running around with a mouse in a maze.

[00:30:15] It was just a little bit, you know, like

[00:30:17] with the contestants, you know, it's like, OK.

[00:30:22] Kind of like the 70s, you know, I used to.

[00:30:25] Tic-tac toe. Yeah.

[00:30:28] Remember, and then after that would be Joker's Wild with the Tic-tac.

[00:30:33] Jean Berry with the Tic-tac.

[00:30:34] Go you Tic-tac.

[00:30:36] Doe, yeah. Yeah.

[00:30:37] OK. I think I told Martin Dale.

[00:30:39] OK. And that and then then Joker's Wild was

[00:30:45] Jean Berry, my grandma.

[00:30:47] Yeah, my grandmother loved that show.

[00:30:50] And you know, she'd be like Joker, Joker, you know, yeah.

[00:30:54] A little something of the whammy.

[00:30:55] Jack Berry was involved in the quisho scandal, too.

[00:30:58] Yeah. But in fact, he was he was the guy who was on the production team

[00:31:02] with the other guy and they were kind of like saying to Stemple,

[00:31:06] you know, Herbert Stemley, like, get out.

[00:31:09] You know, here's 50 grand.

[00:31:12] Get the thing he had to do is he had to guess.

[00:31:15] The question was what one best picture of the year in 1955?

[00:31:19] And it was Marty and he said on the way.

[00:31:21] So you say he's going to say no, it's on the waterfront.

[00:31:24] And he's like, no, no, I know it's Marty

[00:31:26] because Marty's my favorite movie.

[00:33:05] and a little bit of, you know, he basically was.

[00:33:09] I'm sorry, he's an asshole. We'll air him anyway.

[00:33:32] I love it when he tells his amidst

[00:33:33] of his dad what was going on.

[00:33:35] It's just yeah, every kid, the dynamic there was

[00:33:39] hard stuff.

[00:33:41] Oh, yeah.

[00:33:42] I never watched as much.

[00:33:44] I did it.

[00:33:45] I never should.

[00:33:46] I never watched as much Jeopardy as I should have.

[00:33:49] But without Phil, any time I was at a clinic, it was always on.

[00:33:57] Robert Klein does a great.

[00:33:59] He was on Jeopardy.

[00:34:00] Love that, man.

[00:34:02] And if I had gotten wiped out.

[00:34:06] I'd entire Vietnamese village.

[00:34:08] They would give their winnings to a charity.

[00:34:10] And apparently it was blankets for Vietnam or something.

[00:34:13] If I had gotten wiped out an entire Vietnamese village

[00:34:16] would have gotten a Jeopardy board game.

[00:34:23] Back when Art Fleming hosted it too.

[00:34:26] I remember.

[00:34:27] Well, and he said.

[00:34:30] Klein also the same thing he says.

[00:34:33] Art Fleming is wandering around the halls.

[00:34:34] Going, hello, what is hello?

[00:34:36] Hello. What is Robert?

[00:34:37] You know, the show is designed.

[00:34:41] He's been doing the show a very long time.

[00:34:47] You walk by like Claire Bell, beep, beep, you know.

[00:34:52] Hey, if you can find it.

[00:34:54] So there's there's.

[00:34:57] There was a there were.

[00:34:59] The thing was back in the 70s to these shows

[00:35:02] which is pop like the biggie of all that's still running

[00:35:05] is the prices right.

[00:35:06] Yeah, yeah.

[00:35:08] Yeah.

[00:35:09] That was going to the 50s because I think my mom told me

[00:35:12] there was a show called The Price is Right.

[00:35:14] It's a simpler concept.

[00:35:16] Yeah, it wasn't.

[00:35:18] It didn't have the.

[00:35:20] No, like.

[00:35:21] And Bill, Bill Cullen was hosting it.

[00:35:24] You guys remember Bill Cullen?

[00:35:25] That's a bow. Yeah.

[00:35:27] I was a kid.

[00:35:28] I can't remember.

[00:35:29] That was one of them.

[00:35:31] Um, I don't know.

[00:35:32] Yeah.

[00:35:33] Bob Parker, I used to love this show when I was going on.

[00:35:39] 10, 11, 12 years old, truth or consequences?

[00:35:43] He hosted that every five years.

[00:35:45] Yeah.

[00:35:46] And it goes back to radio, but it was a it was a really

[00:35:50] inventive show.

[00:35:52] They would every they would do a different setup.

[00:35:57] The contestants would have to do this or an

[00:36:00] act something, but I can't I can't remember.

[00:36:03] Double dare.

[00:36:04] You remember it?

[00:36:06] I kind of remember seeing like video of it.

[00:36:09] And it was kind of double there because if you look at it,

[00:36:12] double there was double there almost had the same concept.

[00:36:16] You know, with Mark Summers, because if you think about it,

[00:36:18] they had to answer a question.

[00:36:21] And then if they didn't get it right, they had to have to do

[00:36:23] it like a stunt, right?

[00:36:26] I'd say yeah.

[00:36:26] All different things going on.

[00:36:27] They also they had Mel Blank on there one time and they would

[00:36:33] do like almost like candy camera.

[00:36:34] They had a little kid and there's a Bugs Bunny cutout in this room.

[00:36:39] And Mel Blank was behind it doing the voice and talking to the kid.

[00:36:42] Oh my God.

[00:36:44] It was it was a real.

[00:36:47] It would show up on a box set.

[00:36:50] That's lovely.

[00:36:51] Yeah, there's also there's also one thing I remember called

[00:36:54] Paddle Tales with the host Berk Kondy.

[00:36:58] Yeah, kind of like Mads game.

[00:37:01] Yeah, it was like celebrity couples.

[00:37:03] The celebrity couple would tell on each other or yeah Hollywood.

[00:37:08] Give me that any day.

[00:37:10] I don't know if we got a game or newly.

[00:37:13] Mads game, sure.

[00:37:14] I remember Jack, they said Jack Carr, and one time

[00:37:16] I was on it with his wife and he just looked at his wife

[00:37:18] and like she were disgusted.

[00:37:19] So I think she said that.

[00:37:21] He's like, it's like a shut out.

[00:37:25] Tom, who was the most of the Tatl Tales?

[00:37:31] Tell him that was Berk Kondy.

[00:37:33] But Cal, OK, Condor Liars Club.

[00:37:36] Do you remember Liars Club?

[00:37:38] Nobody remembers Liars Club.

[00:37:41] That was a show.

[00:37:43] Oh, but that's a show you guys like Larry Hovis

[00:37:45] for better or worse show up.

[00:37:48] They would they would they would come in and they present them

[00:37:51] with something and they would have to tell them what it is.

[00:37:54] And one of the four people had the right answer.

[00:37:57] And the other four would make something up.

[00:38:00] OK, Jim Isick's.

[00:38:03] Yeah.

[00:38:04] Head thing. Wow.

[00:38:05] Well, why did this become obscure?

[00:38:08] You think?

[00:38:09] Yeah, Liars.

[00:38:10] Liars Club.

[00:38:12] Why do you think it became obscure?

[00:38:14] You think what show that Alex Trebek

[00:38:17] that has a title similar to a famous movie?

[00:38:21] Oh, shoot.

[00:38:22] I know this.

[00:38:22] He was a brutal league, brutally and he weren't.

[00:38:25] It was out of very short time.

[00:38:29] And.

[00:38:31] Yeah, I knew I thought I thought Trebek did card sharks early on.

[00:38:37] He might have.

[00:38:38] He did or did he did something similar to that.

[00:38:41] High rollers, high rollers, high rollers.

[00:38:45] OK, him and Rudal, him and Rudal Lee.

[00:38:48] He did the actors.

[00:38:49] Wizard of odds.

[00:38:51] Love, Rudy Lee.

[00:38:52] Wow, that was Canadian, right?

[00:38:55] Wizard of odds.

[00:38:56] Yeah. And it was it was kind of a gossipy show, too.

[00:39:00] I remember my mom was mad because it was on and she goes.

[00:39:04] How long did these stay together before they got divorced?

[00:39:07] She didn't like questions like that.

[00:39:09] Wow.

[00:39:11] Well, it had something to do with the odds

[00:39:14] or one in five or whatever it was.

[00:39:18] Yeah, you had to guess, like, you know,

[00:39:19] what are the odds of like a meteor hitting the earth or something like that?

[00:39:23] I think it was a summer show.

[00:39:25] Yeah.

[00:39:26] They don't even the summer to test them out if they did well.

[00:39:29] They pick them up, but yeah.

[00:39:33] I we brought this up.

[00:39:36] You know, we talk about we talked about the last time about.

[00:39:42] You know, the three shows that Chuck Barris did.

[00:39:48] Yes, the dating game.

[00:39:50] Yes.

[00:39:52] The newlywed game and of course the gong show.

[00:39:55] Oh, man.

[00:39:56] And the marriage ref was such a take on the newlywed.

[00:39:59] Yeah.

[00:40:01] The sign is famous because a lot of people appeared on that before they became famous.

[00:40:06] It was pretty much almost the equivalent of when you see a standup comic.

[00:40:10] On Carson or Letterman.

[00:40:11] Yeah, you know, you made it.

[00:40:13] Yeah, you're on prime time TV.

[00:40:15] The funny thing I love that there's two things about that.

[00:40:19] Andy Kaufman was on it one time.

[00:40:23] And there's there's a story that is true that there was a serial killer on that show.

[00:40:29] That's right.

[00:40:31] Why did he?

[00:40:32] Randy Ocala, he was a photographer.

[00:40:35] Oh, my God.

[00:40:36] He won the date with the girl and the date turned him to the girl.

[00:40:40] Turned him down because she thought he was a real creep.

[00:40:42] And it turned out later, he was like some serial killer.

[00:40:45] Man.

[00:40:47] And he was caught.

[00:40:48] You know, he was caught later.

[00:40:50] But and you know, the dating game was kind of like, you know,

[00:40:55] the thing was just so silly to hear, you know, like that's the number one.

[00:41:00] If you were if I was a drink, what kind of drink would I be?

[00:41:03] And it was like, Jesus.

[00:41:06] My God.

[00:41:07] Oh, you know, Blame.

[00:41:09] Mary.

[00:41:10] Yes, there's a great YouTube clip of Pee Wee Herman on there as.

[00:41:15] Oh, yes.

[00:41:16] Yes. I remember that.

[00:41:17] Yeah. The most dignified person here because they're just, you know,

[00:41:22] the latest suit, Larry and yeah.

[00:41:25] Oh, when you see some of those 70s fashions back then.

[00:41:29] Oh, God, it's like, oh, geez.

[00:41:32] You know, do you do they bathe in aqua all the back then?

[00:41:35] You know, that's one thing that ages 70s movies, the cars and the clothes, you know.

[00:41:40] Yeah. Yeah.

[00:41:42] Black and white clothes and it looks better, you know.

[00:41:47] Sam, if you watch the newlywed game.

[00:41:50] My mom and my dad was watching three straight.

[00:41:54] And my mother was always afraid that one of her family was going to be on that show.

[00:42:00] Because there are people in my mom's family that like

[00:42:03] didn't that looked like they deserved to be on the newlywed game.

[00:42:07] Oh, yeah.

[00:42:08] And my mother was like, if we ever go on this show, I will fucking kill you, Frank.

[00:42:15] Damn.

[00:42:16] And my dad's like, no, we're not going on this.

[00:42:18] Trust me, we're not going on it, you know.

[00:42:21] The questions they had, you know, Carol, if you and Bob make whoopee,

[00:42:25] you know, it's like, oh, God, Jesus.

[00:42:29] What's the strangest place you ever had whoopee in in the girl's

[00:42:32] and my butt.

[00:42:35] That's it, Bob.

[00:42:37] Yeah.

[00:42:38] It's in the.

[00:42:39] Happen.

[00:42:40] Or they did.

[00:42:41] It happened, but they never aired it.

[00:42:44] Yeah, they kind of cut it.

[00:42:46] I think it bleeps it out or something.

[00:42:50] Chuck Bears had the best concept for a show with the gong show

[00:42:56] because it was like Ted Max amateur hour.

[00:42:59] Yeah.

[00:43:00] And it was just taken to another level.

[00:43:03] Now, he wasn't the original host, mind you.

[00:43:06] It was Gary Owens.

[00:43:07] But I liked a lot.

[00:43:08] That's right.

[00:43:09] I love Gary Owens.

[00:43:11] Yeah.

[00:43:12] But there's something about.

[00:43:15] It was something about like he bears was like, look,

[00:43:18] he did, you know, let me let me take let me take over because

[00:43:24] and Chuck Bears was when the way Chuck Bears was on camera

[00:43:28] is that he was shy.

[00:43:31] He was like naturally shy.

[00:43:33] So that's why you see me go like, fuck, you know, he go fucks,

[00:43:35] let me let me tell you, you know, and he was just nervous all the time.

[00:43:41] And.

[00:43:43] Yeah.

[00:43:44] Yeah, he's fine.

[00:43:45] By the hockey to be nervous.

[00:43:47] Well, he was just he was like he was just nervous in front of the camera.

[00:43:50] You know, I'd be like that too.

[00:43:52] You know, if I was a guy who just created these game shows

[00:43:54] and then I'd be like, you know, I think that was all applied to.

[00:43:58] I think that was just all an act.

[00:43:59] Probably.

[00:44:02] But where he was explained,

[00:44:04] why you don't explain why you always used to wear his hat down low enough

[00:44:08] so it covered his eyes.

[00:44:11] Yeah.

[00:44:12] Well, I think it was a drug.

[00:44:15] You guys watch a lot of make me laugh grown up.

[00:44:18] Yes.

[00:44:19] Yes.

[00:44:20] Yeah.

[00:44:21] Yes, I'm sure there was a similar show

[00:44:24] that was kind of like it only lasted a summer.

[00:44:27] It's more recent, but I was supposed to start Darrell Hammond.

[00:44:30] Then I guess he couldn't make it or they reworked it and they got Dan

[00:44:35] a car we to host it.

[00:44:36] And it was literally a mixture of make me laugh

[00:44:38] in whose line called first impressions.

[00:44:41] Yes.

[00:44:42] And I know that.

[00:44:45] Melissa Villasen air, so now or however I pronounce her surname

[00:44:48] before she was on SNL.

[00:44:50] That's where I first saw her.

[00:44:51] I thought it could have, if it had some reworking,

[00:44:53] it would have probably lasted longer.

[00:44:56] But I miss kind of just more of the fun kind of just we judge you.

[00:45:02] And then we actually give you some feedback on how you can become a better

[00:45:05] comedian. I love that kind of constructive summary.

[00:45:09] And now they don't really do it as much.

[00:45:11] Now it's kind of like a second cider, a YouTubeable moment

[00:45:15] where you're like, oh, this went bad in high school.

[00:45:19] A popular show that literally was so infamous that Fox pulled it.

[00:45:25] It was hosted by Mark.

[00:45:27] Oh, well, Walberg, not the movie star,

[00:45:30] the guy famous for antique road shows and Russian roulette.

[00:45:34] And it was called The Moment of Truth.

[00:45:37] Oh, I remember.

[00:45:39] That was the worst thing ever.

[00:45:42] People compete.

[00:45:44] It was so bad.

[00:45:45] And I had for class some pals in mind

[00:45:50] and I decided to do a reenactment of it as like,

[00:45:53] I don't even remember what the whole classroom assignment was,

[00:45:56] but it was just kind of like we were just like spoofing something

[00:45:59] and we had to have like a free act speech or something.

[00:46:03] But even that it was just too much because it was just like

[00:46:07] it was before YouTube was really taken off and we were just like,

[00:46:10] yeah, well either way.

[00:46:12] So this thing, yeah, it's based on a Colombian show

[00:46:16] and people are have to answer questions truthfully.

[00:46:20] And it's borderline illegal when you think about it.

[00:46:24] Yeah, I think the thing was, was that, you know,

[00:46:28] games just kind of diluted after the 70s.

[00:46:31] I think the only one I've stayed through was Jeopardy.

[00:46:34] But going back to the gong show,

[00:46:36] yes, I don't know how the hell he pulled some

[00:46:40] some of those acts that got on there.

[00:46:42] Oh, but I saw the clip you sent me of the twins.

[00:46:45] Oh my God.

[00:46:45] So the one that almost got them fired was

[00:46:49] Nickel for a Pickles, the popsicle twins.

[00:46:52] It was DC2 like I don't know how old they were,

[00:46:58] but they're just sitting there,

[00:47:00] sucking on these popsicles and

[00:47:04] he got called to the carpet by NBC.

[00:47:07] Gong, you suck.

[00:47:09] And they said, you if you show this, you're going to get pulled.

[00:47:13] And I think he kind of had to like

[00:47:16] they kind of like didn't show the show

[00:47:18] which was just shown on the East Coast or whatever.

[00:47:21] But yeah, if you look on who's on that, the gong show panel.

[00:47:27] It's like it's like a lot of people I know and a lot of people don't.

[00:47:30] Like I remember like Artie Johnson on it, Jamie Farre.

[00:47:35] Gary Morgan was on there, I think JP.

[00:47:37] More JP Morgan has one of the funniest

[00:47:39] and silliest and craziest moments ever.

[00:47:43] Oh, Williams, I think was on there.

[00:47:45] Paul Williams was on the songwriter.

[00:47:47] Oh my God. Yeah.

[00:47:50] You get anybody and everybody.

[00:47:52] David Letterman was on it.

[00:47:54] But they didn't pull them, did they?

[00:47:56] I think it was just an empty fret.

[00:47:58] No, it was just like he would have people on there

[00:48:01] and you'd be like, wow, you know,

[00:48:03] there's there's like two mainstays on that show that were great.

[00:48:07] First off, he had.

[00:48:10] Murray Murray Langston, the unknown comic, come on.

[00:48:13] Comic. Yes.

[00:48:14] Yeah, who was.

[00:48:17] I mean, one time he does it where this woman comes on.

[00:48:20] He says he says he's like he's like

[00:48:23] I want you know I had your child.

[00:48:26] I had your child.

[00:48:26] How do you know it's me?

[00:48:27] And she says this is your child.

[00:48:29] It's a baby.

[00:48:30] It's like a baby doll with like a little baggie on its head.

[00:48:33] Yes.

[00:48:35] And then one of the police academy movies.

[00:48:38] No, he no, that was a movie called Night Patrol.

[00:48:41] What was it?

[00:48:43] Night Patrol.

[00:48:44] Night Patrol, which was I saw that.

[00:48:47] Movies, one of the worst.

[00:48:48] Yeah, that was always in my top worst movies.

[00:48:52] Well, him and him and Linda Blair were close,

[00:48:55] are still close friends from that.

[00:48:58] Why was it just that?

[00:49:00] Rips off police academy.

[00:49:01] And poor kids.

[00:49:04] Yeah, and I know it's not well executed

[00:49:06] or was it just very gross?

[00:49:08] It was just.

[00:49:09] There's a boy who was just so bad.

[00:49:12] Yeah, I just remember one of the one of the

[00:49:15] one of the one of the jokes is how do you get a witch pregnant?

[00:49:21] Oh, my God.

[00:49:24] Wasn't Billy Barney like flat?

[00:49:26] Yes.

[00:49:27] Billy Barney was a flatulent midget.

[00:49:30] And then he had two gay cops and one of them was Johnny Dark.

[00:49:34] And of course, you remember Johnny Dark.

[00:49:35] World Pictures. Oh my God, Johnny.

[00:49:38] Oh, Jesus, it was just it's my friend Jason called me.

[00:49:41] He's like, dude, you got to see this movie.

[00:49:42] Night Patrol.

[00:49:43] I'm like, well, who's that?

[00:49:43] He says Murray Langston.

[00:49:44] And then you watch it.

[00:49:46] Uh, Andrew Dice Clay is in it.

[00:49:50] Yeah, my God.

[00:49:51] It's something else I do vaguely remember this movie.

[00:49:54] It's on to be now for anyone.

[00:49:56] It was.

[00:49:59] Midnight.

[00:50:00] I guess you can put that on now, Mike.

[00:50:03] We want people to leave.

[00:50:05] Anyway, just put it on when your party is out of control

[00:50:08] and you're like, I want you guys to leave.

[00:50:11] Yeah, that's that popsicle bit on the gong show.

[00:50:13] I mean, just recently as watching each.

[00:50:15] The whole reason we're doing this special.

[00:50:20] I'll do one over popsicles.

[00:50:23] Moments and that was one of them.

[00:50:24] They showed that.

[00:50:25] That's the only.

[00:50:27] And it's so funny how they were so angry now and yet they've

[00:50:30] shown it in movie bloopers and TV show bloopers.

[00:50:33] Since then, and no one's bad in an eye.

[00:50:36] So it's just like you have to be there in that moment

[00:50:39] to just kind of witness people getting cringy.

[00:50:42] Well, the best part of that show would be like he would be

[00:50:45] like ladies and gentlemen, you hear the bingo.

[00:50:47] And then.

[00:50:51] That's only one thing.

[00:51:07] Me and my friend, Randy, we do class and I'd be like.

[00:51:14] I'm going to do it.

[00:51:20] Oh, we were just watching

[00:51:22] the reruns of the gone show.

[00:51:23] The gone show. You should be

[00:51:26] studying. No, no.

[00:51:28] They were studying

[00:51:34] late 70s culture.

[00:51:38] You can't make this.

[00:51:42] They always do this one bit.

[00:51:43] Sometimes they do.

[00:51:45] Ladies and gentlemen, we got an act for you.

[00:51:47] So good.

[00:51:50] They played the standing room only.

[00:51:53] Ladies and gentlemen, I give you and say the name in the current

[00:51:56] we're pulled back there be more.

[00:51:58] Amsterdam with his cello.

[00:52:02] Oh my God.

[00:52:03] We're so fatherly.

[00:52:05] And the gong show really lame too.

[00:52:09] It was part of the joke.

[00:52:10] What's in a $25 certificate or something like that?

[00:52:13] I think so. Yeah.

[00:52:15] $1.35 or something like that.

[00:52:19] It was like $19.

[00:52:22] You just have a really stupid amount for being on the gong show.

[00:52:27] I can go to McDonald's now.

[00:52:28] I can go to McDonald's now.

[00:52:29] Yeah.

[00:52:29] And the one, the one, the funny thing was.

[00:52:32] Who he had introduced it. He had his.

[00:52:36] His daughter introduced it.

[00:52:37] His daughter introduced it.

[00:52:39] And then a couple of times he had.

[00:52:41] Thorough birch's mom, who was an adult actress.

[00:52:44] Oh my God.

[00:52:46] Yeah.

[00:52:47] So one time I'm watching it. I was watching it like, you know,

[00:52:50] when I was in high school or something, this is like, what?

[00:52:53] 90, like, you know, they were doing the reruns and stuff.

[00:52:56] And I get this movie for those who want to know.

[00:52:59] Okay.

[00:52:59] Go see her out.

[00:53:02] And I'm like, like, oh, okay. So I get, I get this movie.

[00:53:06] Renting an adult movie like candy goes to Hollywood. Okay.

[00:53:10] I'm like, Holy shit. That's the woman from a gong show.

[00:53:15] And they do a thing about the gong show.

[00:53:19] In the movie. And I'm like.

[00:53:22] You know, Chuck bears must have been like, yeah.

[00:53:26] I've seen Yoko sing, but this is something else.

[00:53:29] Yeah, not.

[00:53:32] But, um,

[00:53:34] The strange thing was he did a movie called the gong show movie later.

[00:53:38] Oh man. Yeah.

[00:53:40] I didn't know.

[00:53:42] Yeah, it's, it's a, it's a, it's like one of those movies that

[00:53:45] kind of like came out and then disappeared.

[00:53:48] And all I remember is my father's like,

[00:53:50] I told my dad, I said, I want to see the gong show movie.

[00:53:53] I'm like five, six years old. He's like, you're not going to go see it.

[00:53:56] I said, why?

[00:53:57] I'm going to go see it.

[00:53:59] And then one night I'm like, I was like, Oh, the gong show movies on cable.

[00:54:02] I went to watch it. I was like, this is the ultimate piece of shit.

[00:54:08] Parable. This is like, it's Chuck bears, you know,

[00:54:11] something with the show or something. I'm like trying to come up and

[00:54:13] I saw this is fucking awful.

[00:54:16] Wow.

[00:54:17] I'm glad they never did the new deal with game.

[00:54:19] You're, you know,

[00:54:20] Oh man.

[00:54:22] The movie, you know,

[00:54:25] but yeah.

[00:54:26] What?

[00:54:27] Ford game.

[00:54:29] Yeah.

[00:54:29] It was a short live game show.

[00:54:33] Did they just,

[00:54:34] Yeah.

[00:54:35] I remember watching that was another summer,

[00:54:37] what summer show.

[00:54:40] Wait, there was a short time.

[00:54:42] I remember watching the game shows at night again. I can't.

[00:54:45] It was a long time.

[00:54:46] And I believe it was one or skipping.

[00:54:49] I think we did do.

[00:54:53] I keep thinking that the mouse trap for some reason.

[00:54:55] I think they did do mouse trap. Let me see.

[00:54:58] Game show.

[00:55:01] We're leaving out the.

[00:55:02] I'm building the mouse trap then actually.

[00:55:05] Yeah.

[00:55:08] They've been talking about redoing it for a while.

[00:55:10] I don't know why.

[00:55:12] We're leaving out the one that, that can never die.

[00:55:15] The one show that can never ever die.

[00:55:18] And that is the $25,000 pyramid.

[00:55:22] Oh my God.

[00:55:25] That's the one I've been forgetting. Yeah.

[00:55:27] Did you see the one where a shatter was on it and the next time,

[00:55:32] and he was jumping seat to seat,

[00:55:34] giving him,

[00:55:35] yeah,

[00:55:35] then jumping and giving the answer.

[00:55:37] And then they, yeah.

[00:55:39] The display things around it.

[00:55:41] Yeah.

[00:55:42] He was good on that kind of thing.

[00:55:44] Well,

[00:55:45] guys to have on that show because I remember he would come one year,

[00:55:49] one week they did, I think they did Dick Clark.

[00:55:51] I mean, they had Dick Clark had William Shadner and I think they

[00:55:54] had Leonard NeMoy on too.

[00:55:56] Oh my God.

[00:55:58] But Shadner was like one of the best guys to have on that

[00:56:00] show because he knew how to do the clues right.

[00:56:03] You know, but I always,

[00:56:04] I always sit there and be like, you know, like, you know,

[00:56:08] a fish, a fish,

[00:56:10] a wait, a wait, a fish, a wait,

[00:56:16] things that have scales.

[00:56:18] You know,

[00:56:20] a shoe, a shoe.

[00:56:25] You're in it.

[00:56:26] What did any Shulman would say?

[00:56:27] Some kind of shoe.

[00:56:31] I don't know.

[00:56:31] Expensive.

[00:56:33] Expensive.

[00:56:36] Yeah.

[00:56:38] I'll expensive.

[00:56:40] A wedding, a wedding.

[00:56:43] Oh God.

[00:56:45] Oh my God.

[00:56:47] And with that.

[00:56:49] That's it.

[00:56:51] We do have one more thing though.

[00:56:53] I'll make it quick.

[00:56:54] No, it's not.

[00:56:55] I'll go with this.

[00:56:55] I know that Carlton had it.

[00:56:56] Just probably had a great bit on his album.

[00:56:59] FM AM.

[00:57:01] Yeah.

[00:57:02] I know what you've been going with this.

[00:57:06] That is one of the best sketches ever.

[00:57:11] It's set perfectly.

[00:57:13] We have divorce core.

[00:57:14] We have all these other teams.

[00:57:16] Well, I have divorced keen.

[00:57:19] I cannot do it justice if you have access to FM AM.

[00:57:23] Don't worry.

[00:57:24] I'll like it.

[00:57:25] I'll look it up.

[00:57:28] I'm so in.

[00:57:28] So.

[00:57:29] Thank you.

[00:57:33] Hi out there everyone.

[00:57:36] Another nice house today.

[00:57:40] Welcome to divorce game.

[00:57:41] The show where some lucky couple actually wins illegal divorce right on the air.

[00:57:45] And spends an exciting week together here in Hollywood.

[00:57:49] As our guest at the fabulous veterans hospital.

[00:57:53] And little later on we'll be playing our home divorce game.

[00:57:56] That's where we call a housewife at random and tell her her husband is downtown drinking with another woman.

[00:58:02] Yes, sir.

[00:58:04] Okay.

[00:58:05] That'll be lots of fun, but we'll be doing that a little bit later on in our show.

[00:58:09] Right now it's time to meet a couple from yesterday.

[00:58:11] Raul and Kongolia Breckenridge.

[00:58:14] Been married 16 years and really can't stand one another.

[00:58:17] He's a pearl diver from Yuma and been out of work for some time now.

[00:58:22] His hobbies are lighting fires and helping the poor.

[00:58:25] Her hobbies collecting foreign tennis balls and knitting humorous cummerbund.

[00:58:31] And together they make napalm at home for a local right wing group.

[00:58:36] Wonderful couple and they chose category number four mental cruelty.

[00:58:42] Okay, ladies cool it.

[00:58:43] I know that's your favorite mental cruelty.

[00:58:46] And yesterday you awarded them a divorce right here on our stage.

[00:58:50] And now it's time to determine the custody of their children.

[00:58:55] We'll spin the big custody wheel.

[00:58:58] And we'll find out who gets who.

[00:59:02] Kongolia, what are the ages of your children?

[00:59:04] Well, we have triplets six five and one.

[00:59:09] Okay, let's spin the big custody wheel and find out how many she'll get to keep.

[00:59:19] None. You don't keep any.

[00:59:23] Mr. Breckenridge gets all the children.

[00:59:25] How do you feel about that, Mr. Breckenridge?

[00:59:27] Do you think we could let her spin that wheel one more time?

[00:59:31] No, the decision to wheel is final and now it's alimony time.

[00:59:36] Okay, cool it ladies, alimony time.

[00:59:39] Yes sir.

[00:59:41] And as you know we like to be just as fair as the courts in awarding alimony

[00:59:45] and so we use the alimony dart board.

[00:59:50] Kongolia will throw three darts to determine her weekly alimony.

[00:59:54] Oh yeah.

[00:59:57] $1,550 a week.

[00:59:59] That's a new divorce game record.

[01:00:03] Now recall from Mr. Breckenridge's card he only makes $1,500 a year.

[01:00:08] Well we'll see him soon on our new nighttime show Jail Game.

[01:00:13] Stay tuned for Sew Your Neighbor and You Bet Your Parents.

[01:00:21] Doesn't he have a woman contestant and she doesn't know the answer?

[01:00:25] She goes, oh Christ.

[01:00:27] Oh yeah.

[01:00:29] It's on her tooth.

[01:00:30] Kongolia.

[01:00:32] Kongolia, yeah.

[01:00:33] Kongolia.

[01:00:34] And then they go through the whole thing and then they say at the end they say

[01:00:38] you won a grand prize.

[01:00:41] You won a grand prize.

[01:00:41] She said oh Christ, we already have a small car.

[01:00:48] Oh I love on celebrity bowling.

[01:00:51] They gave away a, I think it was a pinto.

[01:00:59] Because they went from the big ass car to the small ass car because,

[01:01:03] you know, and I love they had Howard,

[01:01:05] they had Howard,

[01:01:08] Jen Murray on it.

[01:01:09] He says listen to get the gas, I'll start up treasure hunt again.

[01:01:18] Just like yeah, I don't even know.

[01:01:22] It's like the networks are too afraid to be still offend people,

[01:01:26] even though a lot of people will be more likely to tune in if

[01:01:30] something shocking happens.

[01:01:32] Oh yeah.

[01:01:33] I think that's the thing, I think, you know,

[01:01:37] when JP Morgan showed her breasts on TV,

[01:01:40] you know, and it was like kind of like a quick cut in the shower

[01:01:43] with her shirt off and everything went,

[01:01:45] and all I remember you see just see a picture of Gary Mildere going

[01:01:48] like what the hell did she just do?

[01:01:52] And you know, the thing I always said about game shows back then

[01:01:55] was that, you know, you had it where they played, you know,

[01:01:58] by the rules and he had the ones where they were kind of like,

[01:02:00] all right, let's just have some fun because we're just, you know,

[01:02:03] we don't give a shit what happens, you know.

[01:02:05] I mean, you look at Hollywood Squares and you look at match game

[01:02:08] you're like, oh yeah, I have fun watching those.

[01:02:11] But you know, it was something like, you know,

[01:02:13] like some show that was only like the gong show was just wacky

[01:02:17] beyond belief, you know.

[01:02:19] Go ahead. Is it Jean Jean the dancing machine?

[01:02:22] Jean Jean the dancing machine.

[01:02:26] Are you doing that earlier?

[01:02:28] Yeah, we were doing that earlier. Yeah.

[01:02:30] And he was actually I think a camera guy on the show

[01:02:34] or production staff or something like that.

[01:02:36] And Chuck Barris was like, hey listen,

[01:02:40] yeah, he's like, do you want to be on the show?

[01:02:42] He's like, yeah, he's like, well what do you do?

[01:02:43] He's like, well I dance.

[01:02:44] He's like, oh okay.

[01:02:44] So Chuck Barris actually like, he got sick and Chuck Barris

[01:02:47] took care of his like medical bills and stuff.

[01:02:50] You know, because that's how good Chuck, you know,

[01:02:53] Chuck Barris was.

[01:02:53] He was rich.

[01:02:55] And he's like, they did a thing about him.

[01:02:58] He's like, yeah, Chuck Barris when I got sick,

[01:02:59] he took care of my medical bills and stuff like that.

[01:03:02] And I was like, holy shit, you know,

[01:03:04] I thought this thing got this guy off the street.

[01:03:06] No, he was just, you know, like this guy,

[01:03:08] he's just like, he was just goofing around.

[01:03:09] And they're like, no, no, no, no.

[01:03:11] He worked on the show, you know.

[01:03:13] Yeah.

[01:03:14] Rodney Allen Acala, that's his name,

[01:03:16] the guy on the dating game.

[01:03:19] Rodney Allen Acola, Acola or something like that.

[01:03:22] Yeah.

[01:03:23] He looks like a creep.

[01:03:26] You know, probably is.

[01:03:29] But yeah, yeah, I mean,

[01:03:31] further ado, we'll keep spinning the wheel.

[01:03:34] We'll keep finding ways to curse.

[01:03:36] And we'll find the nuttiest,

[01:03:38] craziest and most demented stuff that just can't be done now.

[01:03:42] Yeah.

[01:03:43] Or should it?

[01:03:45] Oh, I think I like,

[01:03:48] I guess we just knew it was going to be a two part.

[01:03:54] Yeah, we're just, we're just going off.

[01:03:56] I mean, this is like, this is a jam session.

[01:03:59] And we're hitting the middle, we're hitting the middle,

[01:04:02] we're hitting the middle eight right now.

[01:04:04] Name that tune.

[01:04:50] Because the minute, you know, and she was like, she was, she was,

[01:04:53] she was, I think, I think she was on he haul.

[01:04:58] Yeah.

[01:05:00] then she goes over to name that tune.

[01:05:04] And like, it was like, always like,

[01:05:11] you just blew it here.

[01:05:14] I used to watch Jim Lang did that, right? Jim Lang didn't name that.

[01:05:17] Jim Lang.

[01:05:19] There we go.

[01:05:20] I remember a Hollywood squares rich little was on in the question

[01:05:25] involved two celebrities and he goes, you know what,

[01:05:29] I can imitate either one of them.

[01:05:32] Are you sure you want to set him up or what, you know,

[01:05:37] as it was funny.

[01:05:38] Sorry about the.

[01:05:38] Well, I love, I love the John Davidson story where Peter Marshall

[01:05:43] says, John Japanese women were required to shave this before

[01:05:48] they're married.

[01:05:49] What is it they have to shave?

[01:05:50] And he just said, he just said,

[01:05:53] I'm the whole.

[01:05:55] Oh,

[01:05:58] Oh, buddy.

[01:05:59] I heard him say that and I'm like, I thought this can't be real.

[01:06:05] No, no, no, no.

[01:06:07] Like the biggest like, you know, white toast.

[01:06:10] He's fucking hilarious, man.

[01:06:12] When he talks about some of the stuff that he did.

[01:06:15] Oh,

[01:06:17] You know, there's also,

[01:06:18] there's also one from Karen Valentine who was this,

[01:06:21] this sweetheart of the seventies.

[01:06:24] Her question was what,

[01:06:26] why is the booby bird called the booby bird?

[01:06:30] And her answer was because they have big feet.

[01:06:33] To be a blur joy.

[01:06:39] I had the biggest crush on Karen Allen when Karen Valentine,

[01:06:42] when I started on room 222.

[01:06:45] Yeah, a lot of people say that first crush.

[01:06:50] I'd have to go with Lindsay Wagner.

[01:06:55] I think it would be crossed between either.

[01:06:59] I always liked it would be her or Wendy Joe Sperber.

[01:07:03] No.

[01:07:07] Yeah, it was probably Karen,

[01:07:10] Karen Valentine or

[01:07:15] Who was it on the bugaloo's Caroline Ellis.

[01:07:19] If you remember the bugaloo's.

[01:07:22] Yeah.

[01:07:23] Back my head.

[01:07:30] I remember the bugaloo's.

[01:07:33] I remember the theme song.

[01:07:35] Somebody goes out, Pamela Ferdin.

[01:07:37] I'm going to be like, get out.

[01:07:40] Yeah.

[01:07:42] I was doing it for 90 minutes.

[01:07:45] Bizarre kid shows.

[01:07:47] Oh, God.

[01:07:49] That's a rabbit hole.

[01:07:51] We're good there.

[01:07:53] I don't know what to do.

[01:07:53] I'm going to go in.

[01:07:54] You're one day, Mike.

[01:07:56] Don't worry, friends.

[01:07:57] I love that night.

[01:08:09] there was a,

[01:08:10] I never saw it.

[01:08:10] There was a show called juvenile jury in the.

[01:08:13] Oh God.

[01:08:16] I remember hearing about that.

[01:08:18] Yeah.

[01:08:19] I can't remember what the premise was.

[01:08:21] I don't, I never saw it, but.

[01:08:23] I remember hearing about that.

[01:08:23] I remember hearing about that.

[01:08:24] Was it funny?

[01:08:25] Yeah.

[01:08:28] These are the defendants.

[01:08:30] Mike Bridger is accused of having his friend,

[01:08:33] Bill Smith steal two of his marbles.

[01:08:36] But Bill says that he found the marbles himself.

[01:08:39] Is he guilty or is the innocent?

[01:08:41] It's up for juvenile jury. You know,

[01:08:44] does he have any marbles?

[01:08:45] Does he have the.

[01:08:47] Actually,

[01:08:48] I don't know if anything wrong with that.

[01:08:49] petty crimes and.

[01:08:51] Okay.

[01:08:52] It's the typical episode of Dragon.

[01:08:54] You're going away for some time.

[01:08:56] I think we're stealing a piece of cereal.

[01:09:01] I'm stealing a six pack of gum.

[01:09:04] But what happens when you steal?

[01:09:05] Or three musketeers.

[01:09:07] Or maybe one day.

[01:09:09] You were.

[01:09:09] Hershey bars

[01:09:10] or.

[01:09:11] Or twixes.

[01:09:12] or peanut butter cups.

[01:09:14] You know what's gonna happen, Mr?

[01:09:16] They're gonna put you in juvie for a long time

[01:09:18] and you're gonna be known as the Candy Man.

[01:09:20] And then after that, when you get out,

[01:09:21] you're not gonna have any teeth from all the candy

[01:09:23] you've eaten.

[01:09:24] I think I've been.

[01:09:26] That right.

[01:09:27] But you will have the Sandy David Junior song about you.

[01:09:31] Oh my God.

[01:09:35] That's kids like you that give the candy stores a bad name.

[01:09:40] Oh my God.

[01:09:41] Bum balls.

[01:09:43] And Mike and I, and Lois and I, and sweet tarts.

[01:09:48] Sure you'll be coring the mark on sweet tarts one day.

[01:09:51] Before you know it, you'll be free basing them.

[01:09:53] Yeah, you'll be dunking them in your,

[01:09:56] dunking them in your, dunking them in your Coke.

[01:09:59] One day you passed out from the sugar high

[01:10:01] before you know it, your mother's gonna be looking at you

[01:10:04] and saying what the hell did you do?

[01:10:05] Let me tell you, you went nuts with candy

[01:10:08] and now you're going up the river for it.

[01:10:13] The nearest I get to doing Jack Webb

[01:10:15] torturing a little teenager.

[01:10:17] I may not only said, I feel like my mind is gonna slip.

[01:10:23] For some reason, I don't even know

[01:10:26] if it's a whole different story.

[01:10:27] With Rusty the bailiff.

[01:10:29] I don't know why.

[01:10:33] I know the guy who's like the bailiff,

[01:10:35] I'm like Judge Judy has his own show

[01:10:37] or something and does interviews,

[01:10:39] but I just wonder what it's like just to go around

[01:10:44] and just pretend to just lock someone up

[01:10:47] when you know it's a reality show and it's all bullshit.

[01:10:51] I always want whenever my dad,

[01:10:53] whenever I see Rusty the bailiff,

[01:10:54] I start thinking cheeky or much like,

[01:10:55] I get my friend Rusty, I got Rusty.

[01:11:01] I remember it's either that or Barney Fife

[01:11:03] is the guy who puts you in the cell.

[01:11:05] There was another short live show

[01:11:07] and nothing new with movie stars.

[01:11:08] It was called Reach for the Stars.

[01:11:11] Oh yes.

[01:11:12] I remember the music Reach for the Stars.

[01:11:15] Reach for the stars.

[01:11:16] These dumb stunts they would ask contestants to do.

[01:11:19] I can only remember a woman saying,

[01:11:22] you had to say the Smothers Brothers

[01:11:24] mothers three times without messing up.

[01:11:27] Just stuff like that.

[01:11:28] The Smothers Brothers.

[01:11:29] I had like a day to do it in 15 seconds

[01:11:32] and it wasn't on long.

[01:11:36] Maybe this was a real show.
