@@WinkMartindaleGames Well To be honest, I thought you were a wee bit older. Don't get me wrong, very happy you are still on the green side of life. Thanks for posting up the videos.
I am soooo happy to see you back doing what you do so well! I grew up in L.A. (from the 1960s on). Your face and voice are a large part of my happy memories of the time. It is a delight to see, and hear, that your familiar friendly face, talent, professionalism and wonderful voice have not changed one bit. I am pleased to have the chance to Subscribe to your UA-cam channel and be counted among your fans. Because... I was and I remain a fan, sir. Thanks for all the great video posts. Let's see more with you as 'on camera talent', please. Sincerely, Bill Mills
The best part of the John Davidson question relating to Japanese Brides is Peter Marshall's smug grin after Davidson says, "On the hole I would say." It says that Marshall set Davidson up.
Actually, it was the show's writers. PM in his memoir said he only had the questions, not the gag answers----essentially the reverse of what the Squares had (an outline of the category they could be facing, a "joke" answer, and a "serious" (not necessarily correct) answer.)
Since the show staff held up cue cards with the joke answers on them, the writers deliberately set John up to give an embarrassing response. A practical joke.
@@RayNDeere I think George was uncomfortable sitting next to Florence after she said that. But I remember that part very well. And of course you can't forget Florence putting her head down in disbelief of what she had just said.
Meanwhile, Peter Marshall knew that he set John Davidson (who would host the mid-to-late 80s version of Hollywood Squares) up with that question. That grin Peter has on his face tells us everything we need to know.
I'll never forget how the Mike Douglas show ended in the early 80's--despite having very good ratings--Mr. Douglas' production company (Group W)--decided they wanted to go after a younger demographic and essentially without any warning cancelled his show and replaced it with the "John Davidson Show"--Mr. Douglas was furious and essentially never spoke to John Davidson again--it was obviously a big mistake as Davidson's show only lasted about a year
Thanks for taking a few to respond, Wink. I'm 52 and fondly remember game shows in the 70's (including Gambit). It infuriates me to see all these gossip shows, judge shows, and sleaze shows the air is saturated with these days. It's a shame we'll probably never see TV like that again.
Finally, someone had the wontons to post the ' loneliness ' answer. I've heard about it but never actually heard it until now.
Paul Lynde is so funny 😹😹😹
So quick-witted and still funny to watch to this day.
I'm not familiar with Lynde but I remember seeing him on reruns of Bewitched as uncle Author.
Arthur 🙂
Yes Paul was very witty but he also had his own gag writer, Bruce Vilanch.
I laughed at work during lunch. People staring. Now they're on here laughing too. Thanks I needed that
Melissa Gilbert's reaction to Paul's dog answer. Priceless!!
This was a great Era in Broadcast Television. It was BIG like the stars who were on it. Thanks for sharing.
Paul Lynde is the ABSOLUTE best!!! But I have to admit...I’ve watched this 100 times, & I laugh until I cry from start to finish
OMG I just looked ol' Wink up. Surprised he is still alive at 88 years of age. Thanks Wink!
Why are you surprised, should I not be? ;)

@@WinkMartindaleGamesYou are still a good looking guy! Watched you since I was a child.
Love this….thank you……keep ‘em coming…..for sure…✨😘
Great quality clips. Like brand new!
Hey Winker, we ALL miss your dear friend Peter. Shame the two of you weren't back to back on NBC during your respective stints in LV
6:20 "I'll go for the fairy"....you can see him thinking it over right before.....Wow

Love to watch out takes and bloopers from tv shows they can bed so funny some times Paul is funny always all the time 100 percent always !!
Wonderful, thank you for posting this! If you have any more, please post them. Beautiful quality! thanks. x
New subbie. Your vids have such high quality and are sooo funny. Thanks for sharing! 👍
"Oh, loneliness." The look on his face suggests he really means it or has been there.
and with Big Bird in the lower right corner, too 😏🤣
They got way with a lot in seventies.
RIP Peter Marshall
Was a great host, one of the last game show hosts of that generation
This show was the best
At 6 minutes 47 seconds Colin was so funny with the fairy question
I noticed that the footage from 2:13 to 2:26 was from when the show had a special one-hour week from September 1975. I'd love to see the whole show!
The pounding meat one actually lasted 15 minutes because people couldn't stop laughing...that I want to see!
Steve Bello that one was too funny
Not sound, you'll need ear plugs and a pair of bricks 🧱.... 🐘......
it lasted longer, but the fairies joke had them laughing harder 🤣
"I'll go for the fairy!!"
That pretty much goes without saying, Paul.

Even funnier is that Davidson later hosted Squares
@@Nickrj3 Yes the 86-89 version with Joan Rivers being the center square
Marshałl didn’t because he initially got the question wrong, saying birds , not brides, not shown here because of editing.
Since the show staff held up cue cards with the joke answers on them, the writers deliberately set John up to give an embarrassing response. A practical joke.
Dear Abby
What shouldn’t I do in bed?
Point and laugh 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That slayed me! OMFG!
These are AMAZING!!
This Show and The The Match Game Show, Are Both Guaranteed to Make You Laugh
I never knew Mrs. Brady had it in her!
at least three times.....!
Loved how George Gobel just walked to the steps and had a smoke
@@RayNDeere I think George was uncomfortable sitting next to Florence after she said that. But I remember that part very well. And of course you can't forget Florence putting her head down in disbelief of what she had just said.
...well she was supposed to get a ceremonial set of keys to New York City, but then mayor John Lindsay had a better idea. True story folks.
Watch the Bob Goldthwait film "Shakes the Clown" - She plays a clown groupie
I love John Davidson!
lol this is truly funny!
Sheer genius.
All are hilarious.
I wish MeTV could acquire reruns of this cult classic. I mean, really, do they really need to air those westerns in the afternoons?
If they did, it would most likely be once a week and culled from what GSN ran years ago (mostly the nighttime syndie).
Great Celebrity Stars ,Before They Became Big Stars, on Hollywood Squares ,and Match Game and Tattletales
John Davidson gave the greatest non-sequitur in TV history.
"On the whole, I would say..." he didn't see the faux pas til after.
Meanwhile, Peter Marshall knew that he set John Davidson (who would host the mid-to-late 80s version of Hollywood Squares) up with that question. That grin Peter has on his face tells us everything we need to know.
@@MrT8599 He just had the questions and the correct answers. His look was simply intuition.
I Can Remember Staying Home From School "Sick" ....Mrs. Brady....

But then John Davidson ended up hosting Hollywood Squares in the mid to late 80s.
Oh Florence 🤪💝
Real cute.
THAT BITCH?!?! OMFG!!! xD
i'll go for the fairy - lol
John Davidson was great also. LOL
at the beginning i thought i was watching password plus
“WHY THAT BITCH!” lol
Was the Japanese brides question from daytime?
Oh MRS BRADY
Where do theses questions came from I wonder..haha
A lot of these clips are from the daytime version. I thought they were wiped? Do they still exist??
From what I understand these were from a gag reel that was made back in the day...

Paul looks completely wasted at 4:58.
Just for Fun and Laughs, These Are Game Shows from The 1970s
Of course Paul will go for the fairy.
5:02, LOL!
Mrs Brady was a a naughty girl
😂
Haaaaaaa!!!!!
Pretty soon this will be cancelled just like everything else. Enjoy it while you can.
Got it downloaded.
Still up. Just goes to show that it will *never* be canceled -- because it's genius comedy, ranking right up there with Lenny Bruce and George Carlin.
