There could be a compilation of Orson saying "belly button" as an answer or totally out of context. He loves that word! Lol. He's such a clever weirdo. I adore him-he never disappoints on this show.
Agreed, I feel like that's what the writers probably had in mind when they wrote the question but most of the panel didn't quite make the connection that was intended.
The funny thing is that the contestant's answer of RD wasn't a great answer at that moment, but now RD is so well known for hosting FF that the contestant's answer would have been near perfect just two years later.
The Encino motel joke got old a long time ago, Brett! I don't think AJ meant any offense Richard! It's always a hard question when they use one of the celebrities in the question.
Heartbreak Hotel was a movie, and a song, and the actual motel in Memphis at Graceland. But it’s actually across the street from Graceland, along with Elvis’s Jets. And also with all the gift shops and restaurants there.
HEARTBREAK HOTEL, I used to live in Memphis, and so many fans used to go there disappointed because they could not get a room at the heartbreak hotel. They were so busy.
@@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687 Get over yourself. Brett was an obnoxious old hag that did nothing to enhance the show. And what would you know about friendship? Can't imagine you have many if you act anything like Brett.

Now in the military, they have stress cards! If they feel like they’re too stressed out, they can pull their card out go to their command, and they will put somebody in their place! That is ridiculous! Because before it was really hard and it was really tough to be in the military in those days
"Coffin" wasn't a bad answer at all. It might even have been a better answer than "corpse." If you saw someone with a dead body in the back of their car, you'd probably assume they're a murderer, not an undertaker.
THANK YOU!!! I don't know why they thought dead body was a good answer. The question should have been... "My blind date must be a murderer since he's riding around with a blank is his back seat". Besides, don't they always put corpses in the trunk?
I know it's a different era and all, but no one thought that it'd be worse if Betty was married to Brett? :) No offense of course, I love them both, but we know Brett could be catty with her. ;)
My guess is that she wanted to look amazing for her appearance on TV and paid some stylist a lot of money for something glamorous. Alas, she chose... poorly.

Yeah, that goofy Richard Dawson answer to the Betty White question was dumb. But Richard handled it with...either grace for giving him hope that he would win...or shade for giving him hope that he was gonna win...lol.

Betty looks fantastic.

Richard's answer to "it could be worse, I could be married to..." was perfect!

Yep. My answer was Bob Barker.

Orson Bean, RIP !!!
He was hit by a car in Venice Beach a couple days ago. (Feb. 7th 2020)
Two cars
😓 I just watched the Dick Cavett interview of Orson talking about living in a commune in Australia.

Brett's comment about Betty's clothes backfired on her when Betty ended up getting a lot of attention from Gene to model her outfit
@ 7:29 I wish someone would have said Jack Klugman on the Betty White question!!
yes! that was my thought, just to get back at Brett.
@@vivianhamilton616 get over yourself Brett, Jack, Betty and Allen were all very close best friends.

I love that they were allowed to use the term midget back then, besides I think the term dwarf sounds alot worse

Sheila's wig needs a show of its own.
I wonder if she wore that while she worked as a line officer in the navy.
Now in the military, they have stress cards! If they feel like they’re too stressed out, they can pull their card out go to their command, and they will put somebody in their place! That is ridiculous! Because before it was really hard and it was really tough to be in the military in those days
17:41 -- In the mid-seventies, Brett has never heard of "Heartbreak Hotel." An accomplishment of a sort.
I watched these in my teens and did think they were a bit old-fashioned at the time. What a trip down memory lane, thanks for the uploads!
All she seems to know is Ethel Merman songs.
Brett was an idiot. She tried to make up for it by cackling and being obnoxious.
Golf course is an excellent answer. It’s better than just golf ball.
Kinda surprised nobody said "Standing Orders"
She has thick , beautiful hair, But she put so much hairspray in it, turned it into a helmet.
Mmm heartbreak hotel?
Air date: March 17, 1976 🍀
"Coffin" wasn't a bad answer at all. It might even have been a better answer than "corpse." If you saw someone with a dead body in the back of their car, you'd probably assume they're a murderer, not an undertaker.
How many back seats can accommodate a coffin ?
THANK YOU!!! I don't know why they thought dead body was a good answer. The question should have been...
"My blind date must be a murderer since he's riding around with a blank is his back seat". Besides, don't they always put corpses in the trunk?
What's with the hair???
Looks kinda like a wig - maybe on backwards?
I said coffin. Now anything the celebrity say is just fine!
before i saw my own SHADOW
standing TALL
Heart break of seriasis...cerryesis...hell, I can't spell it either!
Can't believe the leut. said course instead of ball. Ho Hum.

I know it's a different era and all, but no one thought that it'd be worse if Betty was married to Brett? :) No offense of course, I love them both, but we know Brett could be catty with her. ;)
no, Her husband! and yes she is a little chatty. that's why I was so glad when Gene told her to" speak when spoken to". in a nice way of course.
@@vivianhamilton616 you do know that Brett and Gene were best friends don't you and this is all in fun.
My first thought was Brett, as well. That would be the worst person in the world to be married to. Poor Jack Klugman.

@@kristabrewer6736I think an adulter and a two timer are the same thing. You have proof of course? Otherwise you just gossiping old lady.
Brett really had diarrhea of the mouth on this episode. Was she really a drunk with kids,?
Looking at this show by today's standards, there are about 5 to 6 instances of sexual harassment every show.
Message to all the dingbats in the comments . It's a wig . Most military personnel have no fuss buzz haircuts :)
I can tell that it's a wig. But I didn't know that the women in the military had to wear buzz cuts.
@@pencils812 I doubt they shaved their heads back then, but I've heard ANYTHING goes these days
Sheila was SO cute, especially when she smiled, BUT that hair??? I do not remember that style at all.
My guess is that she wanted to look amazing for her appearance on TV and paid some stylist a lot of money for something glamorous. Alas, she chose... poorly.
It's a wig
Wouldn't know Pat Delany if she fell on me (still waiting )
