Vintage "Password" with Ludden is fun because you also get to see celebrities of yesteryear who you are familiar with. This would be nice to see on some over-the-air DTV subchannel in my vicinity, which I'm unsure if Password is on any of them. Anyway, you not only get to see these movie/TV stars, but you also get to see them in their real life (not acting on a tv show), as well as you also get to see them as when they were still alive. Kinda sad really. Time flies when you're having fun.
@@maxinehuebner9999 I agree:) And it's always good to watch her inspired performances, especially here, to keep us entertained for a long time. And I should add that nothing beats the original "Password"!
I had a crush on Jerry as a child because of his movies. Very popular at the time. As i grew older 10:40 and saw him outside of his element i saw what an asshole he could be. I was dissapointed. Not the lovable man he portrayed in his movies.
Jerry looked very uncomfortable talking about someone else’s success, especially his own son’s success, when he really wanted to (once again) talk about himself. Obviously some hard feelings towards his son, considering that he said “yeah - I like him”. Wasn’t a very convincing show of love towards his son. Very awkward.

What's funny is Coleman & their lantern products are still being made today, even if they are now LED's. Yet in this episode they are making fun of it because it is an old product at that time, which is true as Coleman is a century-old brand, still going strong today.
I think you hit it right on the head. That seemed to be an issue he had. He felt he always had to go 100%. If he’d relaxed a little it may have helped him. That said, he was a very talented entertainer.
Always thought of Jerry Lewis and Robin William's always "ON" They both had very unique personalities..... they made us laugh, while hurting inside! 😔 I had family members like that!
@@brittchafin7054 When it's steeped in the compulsive anger behind Jerry's eyes it becomes tedious very quickly. I can see why Dean dumped him, what a narcissistic jerk. So empty sack of need. Helluva Password player, though. One of the best..
Jerry even considered himself obnoxious and abrasive at times, which is apparent, but he was brilliant in more ways than one, like it or not. I always thought he was funny, and no, I'm not French. 🤣🤣

3:15 she grabs Audrey's hand after guessing the word, and continues to hold it. And Audrey seems to actually yank her hands away, like, "ok, you can let go now"
Really, because I found him very crude and annoying here, and definitely not funny but then I came here just after watching George Carlin so it might not be fair to compare the 2. Like watching raindrops after a downpour.
So do I lol. I’m serious. He once said that he liked to focus on things that were moving constantly. That may be a sign of autism too, but we can’t be sure
@@xovzyzoxuyr9633 I once met Robin Williams when he was alive and he was also very rude and mean. I think many celebrities get that way once they are rich and famous.
Jerry Lewis said many times that he needed the laugh and the applause. You either like Jerry Lewis or you don't... That's how it's always been. He happens to be my favorite. Period. He was 40 years old here and very handsome and a sharp password player.
What a charmer you are Gerry N. So Tony Orlando ripped a door off it's hinges huh? Sure he did. In the real world Jerry and Tony were close friends, which is why Tony quit the Telethon when Jerry was elbowed out in 2011.
I dreamt I was hanging out with Jerry and through the whole dream I was following him from show to meetings and it was nonstop. The endurance it takes to keep on going and all the while showing your best side I was exhausted. I just wanted to go home and relax. These people have got endurance.
Jerry was estranged from all five of his sons, left them all out of his will, and only let two of them attend his funeral. Gary Lewis wasn’t one of them.
I love rediscovering this show, but good lord, I didn't expect the comment section to be so vicious...and I spend most of my time on Twitter. Y'all are nuts.
It cool to watch the old show...yes. But didn't you notice how big a prick Jerry Lewis was being?? He was a mean, stuck up, rude asshole to other people. He let fame get to his head. That's why all the negative comments.
Many comics are funny but have a certainly level of meanness to them. Lewis was no exception. He was always a petulant child. I don't know how people worked with him.
I only watch this show because of Jerry! He's so funny and smart! Making jokes and faces all the time! That man was great! Oh, and very handsome too!!❤❤❤
I think Jerry Lewis had a personality disorder. He shifted during the show from calm and respectful to loud, and biting, literally and figuratively. I always thought there was something unpredictable about him since he did the Muscular Dystrophy telethons.
The contestants went on these shows to win money. Jerry was more interested in performing and making people laugh than playing the game for the contestants' benefit.
If you think he is bad, check out the Match Game episodes where Joyce Bulifant, Patti Deutsch, and Fannie Flagg try to be funny and cost people money at serious stages of a contest. Jerry, unmistakably, was an attention hound who liked to hear himself speak, see himself perform. He came off as obnoxious and over the top. But, he did give some intelligent clues and gave some equally intelligent answers for the overall week. I would like to see the first episode from 11/7/66, though.
Jerry looked a little jealous when Allen praised his son Gary. He was horrible to him all the way to the end. Had the opportunity to meet Gary and he was just nice and friendly. Jerry had a ego the size of the ocean.. very obvious in the film he made about himself.
I wish Jerry hadn't screamed the clues, scaring partner into losing concentration. Also "performing" while other team trying to play. Worst thing about some celebrities is when they went for laughs and the spotlight instead of trying to help their partners win!
Executive Decision It was because he was a hot-tempered, control freak, with a childish need to be the center of attention at all times. Allan was continually trying to placate him, saying "I know you're really a good guy" etc. It was obvious he was having a very difficult time trying to keep control of the show (and to keep sponsors happy), to the point where he snapped at Jerry a few times. I grew up enjoying his movies, but much later learned he had serious emotional issues, to my dismay. May he be at peace now.
Executive Decision It was not occasional after a few words, it wasn't funny, it was rude beyond belief, like when he bit the woman's hand. And Allen was bothered, he just has to be subtle about it, especially on air, to a touchy celebrity.
Executive Decision I said I enjoyed watching his movies growing up. His antics on Password were definitely inappropriate. He wasn't invited to "perform". There's a time and a place for everything. Enough said.
GenKaQltr, it was comedy! I didn't feel like he was being rude at all! He was a comedian lol. Other comedians like Robin Williams and Billy Crystal always tried to make people laugh just like JL did! That was his persona! Not sure what you are talking about! If they were talking about serious and compelling topics then you would be right! That wasn't out of context at all! I'm confused! Jerry biting the lady's hand was comedy! He did that with other actors and actresses before! People need to relax and stop being so damn judgmental with everything! What's the problem??? I know that many people in this country judge JL a lot, but this is ridiculous! The guy is not even here anymore! R.I.P Jerry :(
Being funny sometimes often times comes from emotional pain. You use that pain by saying things that almost come out vengeful, but your heart tempers it and it ultimately becomes funny upon delivery. Jerry was bullied and he turned being bullied into a positive through comedy. His audience soothed his hurt and he gave them sincere raw comedy. He was a genius and worldwide was loved. He left us endless laughter through seeing our vulnerability he gave us. He ultimately was a boy. A child we always remember in ourselves.
AL in opening talks about JL son doing a big gig maybe LV. And how great the performance was. & How JL was there for opening night & back stage. Yeah right JL SOOOO proud of his son that when he died, HE left NOTHING IN HIS WILL FOR ANY OF HIS SONS!!! 🇺🇸
Also notice before that after getting the word right she grabbed Audrey's hand and kept holding it. Audrey seemed to yank her hands away, like, let go. Check it
Odd, folks leave comments on here:" ....it's only a game, don't take it so seriously" then when they are challenged in their opinion it quickly devolves into name calling and insults.

On Buzz TV on cable.
Allen to Jerry Lewis, "you're a nice man". Uh, no he wasn't. But you were Allen, one of the best.
Allen is a drip
Jerry must have driven his kindergarten teacher out of her mind.

Them camping?...Maybe in the back yards of their Beverly Hills homes.
Jerry's son Gary was in a great group with a lot of hits. My favorite song by them was "Count Me In" where Leon Russell was on keys.
Loved "Count Me In" it was my top favorite of theirs. Mom played their albums a lot. So many good songs that weren't hits like "Dreamin".
Is Gary one of the 5 sons he disinherited?
@@sheiladawg1664yeah. I saw an interview with Gary, saying he, unlike other brothers, didn't care if he was cut off of money, as HE made his own, didn't wait for payout.

no thanks.
Good sportsmanship was apparently a challenge for Jerry Lewis. Audrey Meadows was probably irritated by him, but she behaved with restraint.
Indeed! She was a real class act. Always liked her.
Bring back the good old days and fhese lovely shows❤️❤️❤️
Allen Ludden comes in just like Arlene Francis on "What's My Line."
Lol!
Maybe that's 'cause he's Cerfing ..
I don't get it, he comes in like a gracious game show host. what does Arlene Francis have to do with it?
I would be NERVOUS playing with Jerry Lewis! 😬
To say the least! He had so much nervous energy.....it would have made me QUITE nervous!
I'd be laughing so hard I wouldn't be able to think.
Can't deny that Jerry Lewis had so much charisma in those days. Amazing. His magnetism jumps off the screen! And, he was gorgeous in those days.

She's no Hope Emerson (hubbba hubba!), but Audrey was indeed quite pretty!
I remember watching Password when I was growing up. I wish we had game shows similar to this on TV today.
I always loved Password. I didn't realize Gary Lewis was his son. Cool.
I love and appreciate Audrey Meadows' sauciness at 15:26!

I half-expected Lee to use the clue "Coleman" for the word "wick." Too bad Audrey got the answer.
I thought the same thing. It was old in 1966 yet still around in 2021!
I trust a Coleman stove more than I trust my kitchen stove.
I still use the gas ones. No battery to go low and works well when wet.
Jerry is the cutest, most adorable man I have ever seen
Careful, Julie, or you might be accused of being French.
15:26 Audrey is by far the funniest person on that set
Agreed.
1 laugh in a week lol. Nice try
You got that right!
Love Jerry. I think he got sick mentally as he aged. But still will always love him.
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry. Relax. Have a good time. You don't have to prove anything.

The guy is a comedian. He needs to keep up his image
Very handsome too....
He was often difficult on the various sets...but he was an artist after all...
Freeze it at 10:45. Allen is telling the audience what he thinks of them.
Holy moly, you're right!
probably meant for Jerry.
I have always enjoyed Jerry in his movies but never as himself in real life. He seems like a difficult person to be around.
Jerry was the biggest star in the world in the 50s !
After Jerry took Gloria's hand he sent her a look. THAT look. Good god!!
I saw that!!!
What look?
When did this happen?
Apparently Jerry keeps his lit cigarette in his sock.
Just noticed all the open seats in he back during the intro, I guess they weren’t concerned with filling the theater for daytime

I was thinking after one or two clues, 'kerosene' would have wrapped it up.

I wonder what happened in Jerry's childhood that made him so mean to his kids.
HIs dad wasn't so nice.
just because you hear or read a one sided story doesn't make it true or a lie there are 2 sides to every story .
@@dfangirl72 Well, my opinion is that Joan Crawford wasn't the best of mothers.
@@victorsuarez3546 *saw
Cuz they ask for more money thru the courts and won…and Sneaky Sleazy Asshole Jerry redid his Will …And Didn’t tell his kids…Wonderful Lovable Jerry.
Gloria is like "When can I get away from this guy?"
Being funny sometimes often times comes from emotional pain. You use that pain by saying things that almost come out vengeful, but your heart tempers it and it ultimately becomes funny upon delivery. Jerry was bullied and he turned being bullied into a positive through comedy. His audience soothed his hurt and he gave them sincere raw comedy. He was a genius and worldwide was loved. He left us endless laughter through seeing our vulnerability he gave us. He ultimately was a boy. A child we always remember in ourselves.
I heard MOST comedians are dark, disturbed individuals.
@@lindaf4836 ive heard most cooks eat 8 bags of cheetos between 1155 and 12 midnight.
I was shocked to see that lady grab Audrey Meadows face like that!!
So was Audrey !!!! (notice she pulled her hands away)
Jerry's high energy comedy a little reminiscent of the late Robin Williams.
Except Williams was funny.
A fine line between funny and stupid. Yes, they were alike.
Jerry cracks me up. So funny
Are you French?
Jerry Lewis loves to win.
AL in opening talks about JL son doing a big gig maybe LV. And how great the performance was. & How JL was there for opening night & back stage. Yeah right JL SOOOO proud of his son that when he died, HE left NOTHING IN HIS WILL FOR ANY OF HIS SONS!!! 🇺🇸
I kept thinking, say camping.
Me too!
4:05 The contestant was pretty 'Loose' here. She grabbed Audrey's face 😂
Then Audrey takes her hands. Wonder if she took them in order to get them off her face. Haha
@@coreybrix1215 I thought that too.
@@coreybrix1215 Funny I thought the same thing!
You know she was like bitch please
Also notice before that after getting the word right she grabbed Audrey's hand and kept holding it. Audrey seemed to yank her hands away, like, let go.
Check it
10:46 Allen's hand.
Audrey Mai yeah his fingers were bent!
I totally agree!!
4:05 Hands off the make-up, kiddo.
Jerry was one of the most entertaining celebrity guests on Password ever. Don't be so easily offended, fragile little snowflakes.
Lynn Turman, very well said! Lol...they are envious! That's all :) pretty common...
He’s asshole...🙄🤨
Odd, folks leave comments on here:" ....it's only a game, don't take it so seriously" then when they are challenged in their opinion it quickly devolves into name calling and insults.
Lynn Turman he was awesome
I thought he was funny. A little abrasive But that was his style.
USED TO THINK THIS SHOW WAS FOR OUT OF WORK ACTORS ... WOW HEAVY WEIGHTS
What a self centred individual Jerry Lewis is spoiling whole program
He made it. Otherwise yawn!
Jerry was nearly universally despised by his peers. It's easy to see why.
What peers? You have no idea how he was treated.
Besides, Directors all thought he was genius. His directing was his focus.
God what happen to tv and the stars we loved. man things have change for
the worst.
Seems like Larry had been rehearsing his hobby speech and was really excited to give it
