I met Alan King once, at a benefit in NYC. He was warm and gracious, but almost compulsively funny. He couldn't say two sentences if the second one wasn't a punch line.
He wanted very much to be an actor - he was wonderful as a 'society reform rabbi' in the vastly under rated movie "Enemies, A Love Story' and should have been given a supporting nomination.
For "Saloon" I don't know why people don't say "Western" or maybe "Cowboy" along with the other clues (that word has come up in the lightning round of another episode and people missed saying those words as well)
Tell me about it voicetube!! This word came up a number of times in the 60s episodes in the lightening rounds and I can only recall one time when someone had the sense to come up with the clues with connotations that separated this word from other terms for a bar. They’d say things like ‘bar’ and ‘tavern’. And this in the age of TV shows like Gunsmoke, Cheyenne, The Virginian, Bonanza, F Troop, etc. Decades later I’m standing up glaring down at my tablet watching on UA-cam shouting ‘say western, or cowboys you complete cretin!’ I think I saw one person on one episode have the brains to say western among his clues (I think it was Peter Lawford) - and the contestant correctly figured out the word was saloon.
@@alexrafe2590 so true! As a side note, if the contestant to which you were trying to give a clue was VERY British (and certainly if you thought they knew about cars), another clue could be "Sedan"
@@voicetube yes agreed, especially if you had already thrown out other words for a drinking establishment and cowboys, or western, those good with lateral thinking might have sussed the link.
@@alexrafe2590 Yes; especially in that this show did take place in the US, "Sedan" would certainly not be anything close to a first clue (and it probably would have to be a British person, because even I had to look up "Saloon" to refresh my memory as to how it related to cars LOL! It's only today that I learned that a "Saloon" is basically the term that Brits use for "sedan" :-) But a native British person playing the show might hear "Sedan" and fairly easily gravitate toward "Saloon." :-)
To tell you the truth, Alan King doesn't bother me that much. He doesn't bother me at all. If there was anyone on that show that really bothered me, anyone at all, it would be Jimmy Stewart's wife, Gloria. She's too cocky for me to take. Jimmy was no problem.
Carol B. was smart, enchanting and so incredibly funny in in this video. Alan K. on the other hand was an impatient and over bearing Narcissist who gives terrible clues.

I love carol she so down to earth Alan was giving me the creeps he had this weird way with women that made me uncomfortable it was as though as he pushed comedy and carol never did she was naturally funny.
The 60s was a different era, no one thought this was off back then. All throughout his life Alan King was deeply involved in charity work, raising funds for two medical centers,. He also created a program that sends comedians to hospitals to perform for patients. He also stayed married 57 years to his wife until his death.
Wait a minute. They had a shampoo that washed away grey hair????? Why don’t we see that in stores? Then again I don’t have grey hair and haven’t looked either.😂😂
I really wish these actors would stop making it all about themselves and how great they are. It means the proles playing with them lose time on the clock or connection to the clues.
Alan King gave the dumbest clues in the Lightning Round. After saying "bar" for "saloon" he should have said "western" and then he just had to act all stupid over the word "can" and should have said "tin" and then "container". And it cost the contestant prize money. He didn't care as long as he got a laugh. What an idiot.
Alan King was pretty rude with that comment about airline food. You could see how upset it made that nice contestant.That's how most comedians are, always trying to be funny, but sometimes going too far. I never liked Alan King, he was too obnoxious.
Wish "working girl" question were not used, or asking the female contestants if they are married and what their husbands do; sadly not much has changed over the subsequent decades. Why not just ask the women if they have a career; the other makes him sound as if he is asking if they are prostitutes.
Stupid. The contestants are interviewed before the show, a fact that is announced at the end of many, if not all, shows. The host already knows if the women are housewives or have jobs or are students. He doesn't waste time asking housewives if they have careers when he already knows they don't. A 'working girl' didn't mean 'prostitute' in those days. It was the term for a young woman, usually as-yet-ummarried, who worked for a living, usually prior to getting married and not working anymore. If you'd just listen you can tell Ludden already knows what the person does, which is why he just asks someone 'What do you study?' when he already knows the person is a student. Pay attention and you'll see he's NEVER surprised that a woman has a career or job or is a student, and doesn't assume every woman is a housewife. Every celebrity woman on the show has a career. Ludden's wife had a very long career. He's obviously completely comfortable with working women. Your objections are ignorant and based on prejudice, not paying attention to the clear announcement at the end of each show, a lack of common sense, and having no idea about life and American English usage in the 1960s.
I notice they usually ask the men if they are married and have children. That makes it seem like it was a bad thing for a man to be single according to your logic.
Never cared for Alan King. IMO he is the type of guy from High School days who would bully and fight with others just to be mean and for no reason. IMO he has a bad attitude.

Still wonderful entertainment after all of these years!
Alan and Carol are having so much fun and so are we.
Thank you so much for posting this! My mom is on this episode!!!
How fun!! Which one was she?
Yeah! Which one is your mama ?
Which one was your mother?
Carol Burnett
Thank you!! I love these laughs. So little laughs todays world.
I love Carol Burnett on password
I just love her!
"PASSION" @07:30 I've never laughed harder during a Password episode! God love Carol Burnett!
She makes it extra fun!
why "burton"?
@@bigalexgbecause he also married Liz Taylor.
When Carol gets it she is so adorable!!!

Carol rules.
The last contestant had a lovely smile! I wish he had won🥰
You have to realize that there were different associations for words back then than there are today.
Carol made some of the more difficult words seem easy, especially conveying the word goggle, pablum was the perfect clue for mush
love alan.. he made us laff as kids on the ed Sullivan show.
Pity this isn't the Ed Sullivan Show!
Thank you for another great episode. Love this channel! - - "Bigamy"!
How fun! Cute!!

I believe if you wake him up at 3 a.m he would say 5:47 this, and go back to sleep
Betty White would know.
I have a dilemma I refuse to watch anymore Alan King and his idiotic 'watch the eyes' on the other hand I love Carol Burnett.
Maybe even as a first clue for "Lover" said in a passionate way "… Liker…"
At 6:15 King maybe should have said "Round" - And for "Sophisticated" the first clue I thought I was "Cultured"
Ellington was the first clue I thought of. Thanks to the songs sophisticated lady

He was trying to hard to make every line funny.
Hmmm, what does Burton have to do with passion?
Richard, not Tim lol
I had to look up Tim Burton
Lol I had to look up what a soda jerk was.
Why did they allow the word board.It was part of the word
Agree
They also allowed FORWARD as a clue to BACKWARD.
?????????
They also allowed HOTCAKE ...on PANCAKE...LOL
"Forward" and "hotcake" are perfectly legitimate clues.
Wait a minute. They had a shampoo that washed away grey hair????? Why don’t we see that in stores? Then again I don’t have grey hair and haven’t looked either.😂😂
There still is shampoo like that for men and women. There used to be one for women that was called Miss Clairol. Maybe there still is...
I really wish these actors would stop making it all about themselves and how great they are. It means the proles playing with them lose time on the clock or connection to the clues.
Alan King, and that STUPID catch phrase of his, "Watch the eye." GRRRRR I'm so SICK of him saying that on every single episode!!!
You say that for EVERY Burnett/King episode UA-cam has shown. We get it, okay?
Me too
Is it bad that I sometimes say that phrase when I'm playing "Password" with my family/friends?? Lol...
William Donut?
People would win so much money if players would use "opposite" or "synonym" for the second clue.
Alan King, Bar+western=saloon🙄
Also, yank! for jerk
🤣🤣🤣7:30
Bar room is two words
It’s a compound word. Acceptable.
@@randigerber1926 YES! Nice catch! 😊
Whats with the watch the eyes?weird
Allen could be a little rude to the celebrities.
Alan King seems creepy

Carol gave away too much of her private self with that passion act! Ugggggh😬😬
Her facial expressions reminded me of her on her show. In other words, it was typical of her at least on camera.

Please remember this was a different time period, when women didn't mind or found anything wrong with being a housewife.
I notice they usually ask the men if they are married and have children. That makes it seem like it was a bad thing for a man to be single according to your logic.
Many women today find nothing wrong with being a stay at home housewife and mom.
@@FigaroHeyI say. Are you, or were you at one time, a frustrated grammarian?
Never cared for Alan King. IMO he is the type of guy from High School days who would bully and fight with others just to be mean and for no reason. IMO he has a bad attitude.
