I just watched this. I had forgotten that Sam Rubin was a contestant on this show before he started working in television. This was early in the CBS daytime run and some things would soon be changed, so it’s interesting from a game show perspective as well. R.I.P. Sam Rubin. Condolences to his family. He will very much be missed. He was on KTLA for almost 33 years. Thank you to Wink’s team for posting this.
Welcome back, Wink. Rest in Peace to Sam. ❤️
Hard to believe here Sam was a "magazine writer" and didn't join TV until years later.
Lived in SoCal for four years and saw Sam on TV a lot when I'd watch KTLA. He always struck me as a solid entertainment reporter who cared about the actual industry and less about the frills and gossip and fluff that so many reporters focus on when it comes to entertainment. RIP.
Pyramid is one of my all-time favorite game shows - I fondly remember watching the $20,000 version of it as a kid in the 70s when I was home from school and watched many of the 80s era episodes on GSN; RIP Sam
Sam is gone too soon. Thanks Wink for sharing a memory that came up on KTLA from time to time, but I’d never seen through.
He was later a successful contestant on, "Break the Bank", in 1985.
This was taped on my Birthday!
At most one person on that stage is still alive today.
I forgot the original 7-11 rules.
Was there anyone better than Charles?
The 7-11 worked where you could either get $50/answer OR try to get all seven in 30 seconds for a bigger cash prize (if you failed to get all 7, you got nothing). Since they all went for the "seven or bust" option, they eventually redid the rule so "seven gives you $1100." This got made into "Gamble for a Grand" in John Davidson's version of "The $100,000 Pyramid" and "Gamble for Ten Grand" in the Sierra PC version of "The $100,000 Pyramid." (In the Sierra version, the player in "Solo Mode" had to climb varying Pyramids: $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, $50,000 and finally $100,000. To qualify for each Pyramid, you had to make a minimum score in the main game: 13 for the $5,000 all the way to a perfect 21 for the $100,000. If you conquered one Pyramid, you advanced to qualify for the next. You played until either you failed to qualify for that particular Pyramid Or you Conquered the $100,000 Pyramid.)
I wonder when they started the rule where a 21-21 tie wins a car....

May Mr. Rubin rest in peace. 🙏🏿
R.I.P. Sam Rubin, he was on the new $25,000 pyramid!!
I agree with Lynn - getting "undertow" right at the last second was *very* good, that is not an easily thought-of word.
RIP sam 😢 🙏 💔 😪 😔 😞 ❤
Thanks for sharing, Wink. May Sam RIP.
Thanks for this, Wink!
Well, this game may not have been Sam's thing, but entertainment reporting certainly was. He was one of the very best in the business. I had the opportunity to tape a segment with Sam at KTLA in 1993 and he couldn't have been nicer. His sudden passing definitely came as a shock. We all wanted him to be around forever because seeing his entertainment reports was like hearing the news from a friend. Rest in peace, Sam Rubin, and thank you!
Wow, he was 64 when he died 8 days ago? He must have been in his early 20's on the Pryamid
Thanks for the upload, Wink!
Thanks Wink
Charles Siebert quipped that "it's a short life" - and while his (much younger) castmate Brian Mitchell is still with us, Charles's own life was not what I would call short: He was 84 when he passed in 2022.
Thanks Wink ☺️
For "troop," maybe I could give it like this: "The 1960s comedy with Larry Storch," and then hum the theme.
Sam Rubin is a GOAT
Dick always liked to let out a little giggle as he was being introduced. hehe :)
Great work on this game show episode Wink Martindale! May Sam Rubin Rest In Peace! How did Sam Rubin Pass Away?
Heart attack.
If GSN or USA showed this particular episode, I missed it☹️
RIP to Sam, Dick, Lynn and Charles, likely playing Pyramid with God. When the Michael Strahan PYRAMID returns soon, I hope they can you Wink to play the game against either Chuck Woolery or Bob Eubanks, that would be fun.
R.I.P Sam Rubin
Aired May 4, 1983!
Hey Wink does your vault contain the 1993 Pyramid promo?
21:52 - Even vintage game shows had a thing for anime/manga.
Even then Hello Kitty was popular with girls in the US. I knew a local girl who had a few of Hello Kitty's items with her back then.
Wow believe or not . Long

Two seconds late on that first one. OW.
Who's the guy walking
Rest in God's peace, Sam.
RE: The "play it safe" option - I've seen people actually choose to play it safe exactly twice. Both times they ended up with 6 out of 7, so it was the smart choice. 🤷
The Winner's Circles were very tough.
Imagine how hard they got on "The $100,000 Pyramid" when it was in syndication! You had to get one of the top three times to win the Winner's Circle round to Qualify for the $100,000 Tournament, THEN in the Tournament you had to BE the FIRST to win the Winner's Circle for the $100,000. If you didn't, you had to hope you could get another chance before one of your opponents could steal it from you by winning the Winner's Circle themselves.
May 4, 1983.
Sam Rubin died yesterday at age 64.
What date and year did he die?
