    Bud Collyer was a true man of faith, a class act and a real gentleman.

    Did Hunter ever write about his experience on this show? Very interesting to see him before he became a counterculture icon.

    Four years later, Hunter S. Thompson would write the book that made him famous the most: "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".

      Vahan Nisanian Yeah that definitely wouldn’t be TV friendly at the time and as a result the LSD questions are especially hilarious

    15:12 #1, Glen Jacobson, was the first husband of future "Price Is Right" hostess Janice Pennington. She was a member of The Models, which Jacobson talks about.

    I recently began studying kinescopes. I am beginning to see the difference between kinescopes of b&w videotaped shows and those of color shows. The date of the program helps. This is a kinescope of an episode of TTTT that originally aired in color.

      A very interesting course of study you have chosen! You must be a real film buff indeed.
      Perhaps even a camera person

    • @ChrisHansonCanada
      @ChrisHansonCanada Рік тому +1

      I, too, have noticed the difference. The same with the final color season of "What's My Line?" in 1966-67. The lighting looks different.

    The hell with Hunter.
    I’ll take Wendy Farrington!
    I’ve always thought “Hells Angels” was the best thing Thompson ever wrote.

    I recall about this time the Network Evening News carried a story the Hells Angels wanted to go to Vietnam as a Unit.

      Yes. They were not peaceniks. I remember being in a peace march in Providence, R.I. calling for an end to the war. One of the Hell's Angels popped out of a doorway and shouted as we passed by, "Why doncha join da ahmy?!"

    The 2nd game shows just how much society was changing. The subjects they talked about, the way they dressed, and all this talk about LSD. Completely different from what they talked about in the early years of the show. Far out, man, as the hippies would say.

    • @VahanNisanian
      @VahanNisanian 7 років тому +7

      Truth is, I'm more of a fan of the 1960's culture than I am of the 1950's culture. It's also a reason why my favorite episodes of "What's My Line?" were the 1960's ones.
      And just to clarify, I don't romanticize the likes of the Manson Family, just because I overall prefer the 60's to the 50's.

    • @alskndlaskndal
      @alskndlaskndal 7 років тому +3

      Yes, I enjoy seeing how these cultural changes are reflected even in a very mainstream show like TTTT. Interesting to see the fairly "square" panel encountering the counterculture.

    • @libertubey2199
      @libertubey2199 6 років тому

      @Executive Decision The office of the U.S. Presidency has been in decline since Woodrow Wilson. It is only in the last nearly 30 years that it started taking a nosedive. I dare say that each U.S. President since Wilson has a part of "The Agenda" that he had to carry out. There are consequences to pay if the office holder begins to rebel. I will not go into details into neither "The Agenda" nor which U.S. President suffered consequences for rebelling. The current office holder is carrying out the part of "The Agenda" that he is suppose to carry out, just like (assuming you are of a certain age) his six predecessors before him had to carry out their part.

    I guessed correctly on Hunter Thompson because if you got beat up by the Angels, why would you still wear a biker jacket and remind yourself you got you arse kicked? Judge Cannon, I missed completely lol. Also, at the end where the judges meet the guests, Hunter is already lighting up. I guess having Camel/Marlboro as the show sponsor helps ;)

      let's face it. All these shows are just venues arranged by publicists and agents for upcoming books, movies, plays, etc. The "panelists" are the typical B-listers of the time: like today, not the brightest bulbs in the pack

    • @ChrisHansonCanada

    • @Lampshade51
      @Lampshade51 6 років тому +3

      Pretty common in those days. Carson used to smoke all the time and -odds are -To Tell The Truth probably had a cigarette sponsor at one time.

    • @UberLummox
      @UberLummox 4 роки тому +1

      Yes it does, because this is a kinescopes version of a show origionally done in color.
      Not sure, but I think by '66 most shows were in color, and this is '67.

    hunter s thompson on "jesus freaks", "the are usually none too bright... or maybe stupid is a better way of saying it." he said he avoided them and tolerated them, "as long as they don't bother me." amen to that, then there's bud collyer…

    • @greydogmusic
      @greydogmusic 5 років тому +4

      tomitstube So what are you trying to get out? Bud was a Christian, he comes across as a person who is happy and enjoys what he does. You have a problem with him? I agree that the Jesus freaks in the 60s and early 70s probably were not too bright. And some of them may have been stupid. They were hippies. Unlike the educated religious people on the other side of the church auditorium.

    • @UberLummox
      @UberLummox 4 роки тому +1

      @@greydogmusic There sure were at least as many idiotic, dumb jesus freaks then, as now.
      Though I like what you say about Bud, your comments about '60s-'70s Jesus freaks and blaming them for being hippies is very short-sighted and judgmental. I'm not one of the "brave" keyboard warriors. I would have a conversation about this to you in person. Be Well ~
