This is the same Dick Curtis who played a game show host (of all things) on an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show where Laura discloses that Alan Brady is actually bald.
And the same Dick Curtis who was the voice of Motor Mouse in the Motor Mouse and Auto Cat cartoon segment of the 1969-1970 Hanna-Barbera Catanooga Cats cartoon series?
Yeah, "Johnny Patrick"- the "rat" who hosts "PAY AS YOU GO", and gets contestants to say embarrassing things about their families, friends and acquaintances. "Do you mean that Alan Brady is really *BALD???"* "No!"" "Then why does he wear a toupee?" "Well........" "That's it, ladies, the secret's out! She knows, and she SAID it!!! How about that, folks?" 😁
Given the "lovely wardrobe" chosen by the Fashion Expert, was the Queen really a winner after all? Queen for a day, but fashion victim for a years to come.
I know a lady who won on the old version of this show. Her son was born with a heart condition - they said he would not live for long. She did her best with him and he lived to be about 35 years old.
This revival of "QFAD" lasted but one season (1969-70) and the queen was determined by audience vote. The 1950s Jack Bailey version had an on-screen applause meter, whichever contestant received the most applause was declared queen.
Drag Queen for a Day was never green-lit by the network. It featured crossdressing husbands (complete with prom corsages) whining about their lives to a television audience. A missed opportunity, if you ask me.
Jack Bailey hosted the original "Queen For A Day" during the mid 1950s (1955-64). Art Linkletter hosted "People Are Funny" (1954-61) and his self-titled "House Party" (1952-69) .

The episode is one of my favorites. It is called Coast to Coast Big mouth. I thought the MC looked familiar.

OMG your right. Lol

I wonder what the then retired Jack Bailey sitting in his Beverly Hills home watching this " new version" of his old show thought about this ?
That is a good question...I'm curious about that as well. I enjoyed him.
🎥I used to watch this show all the time - while our Mom made grilled cheese for us for lunch!😮❤💯💥👍🤍!
What a horrible show! They could have granted the wishes of all of the poor girls with all the extra crap they loaded "Queen" Jody down with!!
The show does make you feel sorry for the contestants who are the "losers".
I remember when I was young, my mom wouldn't miss Queen For A Day every afternoon. It was hosted by Jack Bailey at that point.
Jack Bailey came from Hampton, Iowa, which is just down the road from where I live...

I would love to know what happened to these women after being on the show.
I found the first contestant…she died in 2020.
I remember Dick Curtis from "The Jonathan Winters Show" on CBS...

15 1/2 with a husband and baby and asking for a stove on television. Her parents must have been mortified!
I smell statutory rape.
I wonder if parents stepped up to help get a stove.

Pathetic show
You mean Alan Brady is BALD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't this the same guy who was the state trooper in the Blitz-Heinhardt commercials?!!
There was another version!?
I would run home from playing outside when this show came on.

Thanks as always for your rarities.
My pleasure!
I was just a little kiddo when this was on and I surely don't recall the idea behind the show.
Use to watch in 50 s. With art linkletter
