This was the first episode of the original Hollywood Squares I had ever seen. I couldn’t believe GSN left in the peacock!! That was a huge bonus and very exciting to see.
I remember when GSN announced the showing of the Hollywood Squares. I called in sick from work that day just to see what was going to be on as no one knew what to expect. Luckily I had vcrs ready and taped everything they aired. It was exciting to see the 68 episodes
@@christopherangel6690GSN had a slew of NBC nighttime versions of “Hollywood Squares” and the rest of them were syndicated versions from the 1970’s. And what’s kinda sad, that there’s no NBC “Snake” logo at the very end on a GSN airing of “Hollywood Squares” nighttime version. This is why this show should’ve ended. ua-cam.com/video/_kGqiSJ6U14/v-deo.htmlsi=PsRMuQ_0ATwsK50T
As of 2022, Sally Field and Peter Marshall are the only surviving celebs from this episode. UPDATE (August 2024): Now there is only Sally. Rest in Peace, Peter Marshall.
Dieter Dengler was the subject of two Werner Herzog films, the documentary “Little Dieter Needs to Fly” and “Rescue Dawn” starring Christian Bale as Dengler.
Panelists: 1. Walter Matthau 2. Sally Field 3. Charlie Weaver 4. Zsa Zsa Gabor 5. Wally Cox 6. Nanette Fabray 7. Jan Murray 8. Sam Johnson 9. Buddy Hackett
This was obviously taped before the Republican National Convention in August, where Richard Nixon was nominated for President and announced the Governor of Maryland as his vice presidential running mate. This episode (starting at about 5:20) provides proof of how unknown that governor was before he received that nomination.
I really think what they ought to do when they bring back The Hollywood Squares next year--They should being back every single contestant who were on The original Squares with Peter Marshall as well as from the John Davidson & Tom Bergeron Squares (if some of them are still alive) to play for an all time super jackpot of $1,000,000!! IN FACT IT SHOULD BE NAMED THE $1,000,000 HOLLYWOOD SQUARES!! ("THIS IS NOT YOUR MOTHER,S & FATHER,S HOLLYWOOD SQUARES")
Airdate 22 March, 1968, Walter Matthau, Sally Field, Zha Zha Gabor, Van Johnson, Nanette Fabray, no Paul Lynde 😟 0:01 Gotta love the 1960s NBC color peacock bumper! 1:44 "The first man ever to escape from a communist prison camp". So no one ever escaped from Stalin's gulags? Actually Dieter Dengler (1938-2001) was born in Nazi Germany and his grandfather was against Schicky. He was taken prisoner in Laos in 1966, but escaped. A documentary by Werner Hertzog was made about him. He recovered back in the States and became a pilot for TWA and test pilot His game strategy here is a bad one: he just simply doesn't agree with any answers: he won one square, but lost all the rest. Obviously most of the celebrity squares after the joke answers give the correct one (which they are given beforehand); so if you don't know the answer it's much better to agree. Later in the show the celebrities realize his strategy and start giving deliberate wrong answers, so he wins some more squares. 19:16 Peter Marshall (who is still going strong at 96) just gave her the point and she didn't even say whether she agreed, he just assumed it
I saw a 60's episode where the question was, who wrote the music and who wrote the lyrics in the Lennon & McCartney songwriting team? And they had Lennon - lyrics and McCartney - music as the correct answer. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't start started the world in America till 1974-1975 When I was in around 19 Years old when I watch I don't understand till I understand I decided to become a Hobby of the world of Trivia Questions and Answers the rest is History
The late Buddy Hackett & Michael Landon had the most annoying laugh when they were on the show!!--I agree with thay!! Also RIP!! CONTESTANT DIETER DANGLER(1938-2001)
His real name was Cliff Arquette; he created the Charley Weaver character in the 1950s, and was often a guest on Tonight when Jack Paar hosted the show.
@@orbyfan how did he become a guest? Was he a comedian, actor, writer, a bit character on the show? Usually guests on talk shows are known for something.
@@PatrickForrest-pv4wv He was a veteran of radio, stage and screen before teaming up with someone named Dave Willock in the early '50s for the radio and TV show "Dave and Charley," where he originated the character. Paar first invited him to be a guest in 1957.
Does Buddy Hackett have no teeth? He's thinks he's gotta be notice in most every question. Or he wants to ridiculously drag the question out and make a bigger fool of himself! Not to mention him laughing at most everything! So annoying! The Lieutenant sitting in for the X, seems to disagree with every question asked! Losing out on most of them, because he disagreed with most of the stars answers!
I'm glad that these episodes of HS exist from the 60s.May they be around for generations to view.

Yea, all the Vaudeville Jewish comics are boring + irritating

They had no idea then that Sally Field would go on to be one of the greatest actors/actresses ever.
These earliest of shows are my favorites. It's also a bonus to see Sally Field and Buddy Hackett was cracking me up
Rest In Peace Peter Marshall
It’s not the Hollywood Squares to me without its undeniable star, Paul Lynde.

So odd not seeing Paul Lynde in this game
As a kid, I loved Buddy Hackett. As an adult, I loathe the man.
How did he ever become popular?
I agree completely.The guy is in obnoxious attention hog
Lol. ❤️😇
Miss O has the most ridiculous hairdo I’ve ever seen.
Such hairdos were common in those days.
That’s the 60’s.
Buddy Hackett's laugh was annoying.
@@ddmck1972 he was annoying, period.
