- Two episodes of the Hot Potato game show, hosted by Bill Cullen in 1984, with a team of three newspaper reporters beating teams with 411 operators, auctioneers and artists. They are the last episodes following this format; teams changed to two celebrities and one contestant after that.
soooooooo many other episodes of Hot Potato on UA-cam have horrible quality. This is amazing. Thank you so much for this I LOVE this show
Hot Potato was skating on thin ice in the ratings around this time, and this was Bill's last NBC game show he hosted!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been looking for the final episodes of regular Hot Potato every where but couldn't find them.
One of the most underrated game shows ever shown on the Peacock Network.
Hosted by the late, great Bill Cullen.
thanks for uploading this.
It's a shame _Hot Potato_ went downhill after this...
April 19 and 20, 1984
omg I have laughed and laughed! Thank you for this!
You have to appreciate how Bill just flew through the last three questions in the show, to ensure the game could be resolved and someone won $1,000 before time ran out. Additionally, the Reporters ended the show and the original format on a high note by winning the bonus game one last time and winning the final 7 Straight Jackpot.
You're right. Bill Cullen was a class act. I wish we could have gone on playing, but because they changed the format, we couldn't.
@@katkit3815 They could have allowed one of the players to continue their run as champion, which Barry and Enright did when PLay the Percentages switched from a format with married couples playing to one with solo contestants playing.
If only they hadn't changed the format, I might be a millionaire (but only because of my colleagues).
Amen!
@@katkit3815 I remember my grandmother watched Bill host The Price Is Right in the 50s and 60s. Live back then too, and one time an elephant ran across the stage and decided to relive itself, Bill, as only he could, said "Be sure to tune in next week when The Price is Right offers equal time to the Democratic party." while my grandmother was laughing at the elephant for defecating. 😄
This show could've had 5 years. As always, Dan Enright killed it with the celebrity segment.
And we could have kept on winning!
NBC having the show at Noon EST didn't help. NBC then decided to keep Super Password in that slot for 4.5 years because it was felt, after going through four game shows and two sitcom reruns between Jan 1983-Sep 1984, they couldn't find anything better to put in that time slot.
I think three because of the stiff competition on daytime. That would put us up to June '87 when USA acquired the syndication rights.
@@drummingdanny84 CBN aired Hot Potato from Fall 1984-Summer 1985 or so. The week with Vanessa Wiliams on a team of Miss AMericas did not air on CBN because of the controversy forcing her to relinquish her crown, but her music career started in the late 80s around the time USA was airing HP in reruns.
@@drummingdanny84 Hot Potato was in the Noon EST time slot and didn't clear a third to a half of the NBC stations, and would have been up against local newscasts, syndicated programming, or Family Feud on the ABC stations that aired it in its Noon time slot at the time(but Feud's ratings were starting to erode by then)
You had the best Hair of the group.
i love this show.
This was Bill's last network daytime game show. His first was Winner Take All on this network 32 years earlier.
After years of smoking, Bill Cullen died of lung cancer in 1990.

Final bonus game before the switch to the Celebrity shows.
Way to go - good table topic question that lead to a fun You-Tube.
They should never have gone to celebrity...
That's what hurt BULLSEYE
At least there was still one contestant on each team. Perhaps Jack Barry dying on a tape day when they did the celeb format week with Milton Berle didn't help matters.
Bill Cullen died of lung cancer in 1990 after years of cigarette smoking.
I've never seen anyone stop in the bonus round. They always go for broke.
I'm guessing the last berry jam unanswered was Lingonberry.
Or cranberry.
nice
I always loved this game show. If this was revived, it would have to be up to Sony Pictures Television. Who would be the ideal host?
It is better than how GSN plastered the ending logo with CTT. That makes no sense
Sony Pictures Television had acquired the rights to Barry & Enright Productions, Merv Griffin Enterprises, Heatter-Quigley Productions, & Pyramid.

No pressure, Kate.
the reporters the auctioneers and the artists were the last teams to compete on the all players format of hot potato and april 20th 1984 was the last day of the all players format of hot potato.
Are you telling me these are the last two episodes of Hot Potato before switching to Celebrity Hot Potato?
The 80's version of America Says, amirite??
Somewhat because of the teams and the seven answers based on polls. But this was more innovative because of the rigor.
