Name one thing Lawford accomplished besides being good looking, marrying a Kennedy, and being in the Rat Pack. I’m waiting. Even his Mother kept his educational curriculum at 1st grade level. 🙄
Yes his excellent playing and that irascible humour, especially when it was directed at poor Allen Ludden was always very entertaining. The shows when he was on it are my favourites.

It's great to see two of the best celebrity Password players ever playing in the Tournament of Champions in Carol Burnett and Peter Lawford. Lawford was one of the best male celebrity players of all time, helping a contestant win the Lightning Round in a record 12 seconds. It was a show that attracted many A-List celebrities such as Jimmy Stewart and Lucille Ball. A true classic.
I think it was everything everyone has mentioned here but for me also how Lawford’s quick take on tying the popping noise to Dr Reason A. Goodwin shooting himself was sheer brilliance made hilarious by Ludden’s endless, almost obsessive, references to Goodwin’s policing of the game’s rules about two word clues and hyphens - as if anyone cares! I know I was laughing at the vision of this stern prig shooting himself dead at the supposed enormity of some word rule broken in the lightening round! Priceless 😆
@@4seeableTV no indeed, that’s one of the ‘reasons’ Peter Lawford’s quick parrying of the bulb exploding into Dr Goodwin committing suicide caused me to erupt into helpless laughter 😂🤣 really one of the best comic moments in TV history.
My mom was on with John Astin (Addams Family) around this time but I don’t see it. Must be 1968. Can you PLEASE add those? It would be most appreciated. We had a group of about 6 of us that piled in the station wagon and sat in the audience. She was on 3 shows including Match Game and on Password several times with John Astin.
@King’s Kid Girl what about Eydie Gorme?! She was absolutely shameless! Allen was always calling her out and still overlooked about 80% of her gesturing. I say that and yet still find her appearances on Password enchanting, with her intelligence and bubbly enthusiasm. She would have been a great player even if she had never used a gesture. Still I remember Steve Lawrence becoming very grumpy in an episode where he played against that actress who starred in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. And it made think ‘Sir look to your wife’!
@@jamesmcinnis208 Pyramid was a more complex game show to create and set up A lot of thought and intelligence went into making the pyramid categories in the Big Money pyramid.
I've remember seeing Peter Lawford on other gameshows where his performance in the play was~ meh~ fair at best, but he was really surprisingly good at this game.
On that note Betty White was very good at this show but did not excel on other game shows She gave offbeat answers on Match Game. Arlene Francis was excellent on What's My Line but not as good on other Game Shows. It does not surprise me Peter was good at this word game. He knew his English and was born and raised in England. He was far from a dope.
@@m.e.d.7997 yes Arlene and some of the other panelists certainly figured out their guests’ line of work much faster than I would have been able to. But Password was one other show in which her intellect and verbal dexterity made her an excellent player.
@@alexrafe2590 i I must correct myself on Betty White She was as excellent on the 10,000 Pyrsmid as she was on Password. Just recently saw clips of shows with her. She won contestants a lot of money on that show.
I was looking for this comment. It seemed the light popped as soon as Peter gave the clue. I thought it was a broken buzzer to disqualify the clue. 🤷🏼♀️
I think when a participant blows it by accidentally giving away the word, especially if it’s the actual player and not the celebrity person, instead of throwing out the word, they should give the points to the other player.
I agree. This is a great show, but there are a lot of problems with the rules that seem to depend on people not testing them. In this case, why wouldn't someone just say the password if things weren't going well for them, if there were no penalty?
The light bulb blew when the good doctor was getting ready to press the buzzer. Lawford gave the clue of "hostess" on the password "host", which was a no-no.
If it were not a lightning round, Dr. Goodwin would have buzzed "host" because the password was within the clue. But the rules are lax during the lightning round because it's not a competitive situation.
I started to watch these after viewing Jimmy Fallon’s modern take on Password. I loved watching Password as a kid in the 1960’s. These are fun to watch, but I’m disappointed that they cheated plenty! (Gestures, using a form of the word {host/hostess}.) Peter Lawford’s reaction to the pop sound made me laugh out loud. I wonder if Dr. Reason A. Goodwin was attempting to disqualify the clue? He was too often silent, IMHO.

Not cheating in the Lightning Round. The boom was a light bulb blowing .
Things could be more lax back then. Society wasn't nearly as litigious. Today, the contestants would sue over anything. I wonder if that's why there are so relatively few game shows like this anymore.
OMG, just into the first 2 minutes of the game and I am *still* angered by the guest DeeDee saying "I dont really make much of a living. I'm a housewife." SO. Let's list all the various real *Jobs* that "housewife" actually includes. 😡 Then host says, ...part time job..." Grrrrŕr. Then Wow, the little housewife turns out to be quite smart too. Then, she just happens to be attractive too! Grrrrrrr....Then, the next guest: disappointment that she's an "unmarried stewardess." ! Again Grrrrrr. Sign of the times.... Carol B is lovely as usual!
@@marycook1644 Mostly great but I did see him lose his temper toward the end of his appearances. Peter played to win and he was so good himself I think stupid answers infuriated him.
Next to Betty White, Carol and Peter were my two favorite Password players. Both so sharp! Lol loved the guys reactions when the contestant goofed
I would add Elizabeth Montgomery to your list
Peter Lawford and Betty White the best players ever.
Rest In Peace, Allen Ludden, and Peter Lawford. Overdue condolences to the families for your loss. 😔💐💐
Peter Lawford's reaction to the blown lightbulb is priceles - the PERFECT Password comeback!
@Frank Stall *Bullshit!*
I laugh every time I watch that part 😂
@Ameri Color: Especially after Lawford had just given the clue "Hostess" for the word "Host" - like judging the validity of clues had become too much for the good doctor to bear!
That was one of the funniest things ever on Password!
Somebody should have chimed in, "Wait, fortunately he missed...!"
Carol Burnett was wonderful. Peter Lawford is probably one of the best Password players ever. His clues were brilliant.
He held the record for the lightening round at 12 seconds!

This episode was absolutely delightful!!!
Peter Lawford was a man with class
Agreed. Sinatra and the Kennedys did him so wrong.
If he hadn't been a drunk, he'd have been wonderful
@@frigginirishloons Your comment says more about you than it does about Peter Lawford.
Funniest line in Game Show history: "Doctor Reason A. Goodwin just shot himself!"
Hilarious indeed. I almost peed myself from laughing.

wish they had that episode.
I can hardly believe I'm old enough to have seen this show live.

I have a feeling she was perfectly happy with the single life...😉

He was no dope and well educated.
That was so funny about what the stewardess said about marriage. Especially since her Password partner Peter was married four times !! 🦊
Awesome!!!
I love that he introduced Carol as "comedienne".
People refuse to use proper words like that anymore.
"HINT"
"Dr. Reason A. Goodwin, just shot himself" lol
I wonder if the stewardess ever got married? She seemed like a lot of fun. Like a young Anne Meara. Probably in her 80's now if she's still with us.

Carol Burnetts thing was distracting the opponent by saying 'OH' when it was their turn like she knew it.
I agree with his comment they pay attention to ALL the clues and add them up to make a correct guess.
Absolutly love Peter lawford, i really do❤
Just to put into perspective the seemingly low paying pay outs on this show, $700 in 1967 money (the first round payout) would be $5,262.72 today!
*No, it's still $700 just as always*
People do need to account for inflation
The days of the big added “hair pieces” lol. I remember that!
The greatest TV word game of all, created by Bob Stewart, who also created the other greatest TV word game, Pyramid.

@Sam Converse I don't think that matters, both are too close that they shouldn't be allowed.
well it wouldn't have counted in a regular game.
Debbie is a little bit like Doris Day. Well she wears the same hairstyle.
I've noticed that they are in studio 33 (which would be called as the bob barker studio today)
It might be 31, which was identical.
350 dollars was a lot of money back in 1967 ....
Wow 3 marriages in 6 yrs...and ahe can still laugh.. 😆
This was before Carol got her own tv show...
So funny
Interesting the transformation of Dee-dee from the day before...that's all I'll say--
Would love to see the august 65 show with frank sutton and dawn wells mentionef at 8:29
I would love to see Dawn Wells on Password. We have seen Gilligan and the Howells !! 🦜 🌴 🏖
It no longer exists. @@marycook1644

James Washington and Tres Long

Lawford gave the clue of "hostess" on the password "host", which was a no-no.
He should have pointed to Allen, instead .
Watching these, I seem to notice that the rules were hardly ever enforced in the Lightning Round. Just fun.
@@christopherdunne7848
Because you werent taking anything away from your opponent.
Storing was a good clue for warehouse, but sometimes I wonder why they say it like they do. How did that help in this case?
Alan’s hair needs it’s own segment it’s amazing
I’ll bet it’s fake. 😃
He loved that liver green jacket, so do i.
For "fossil", give either (A) "trilobite" or (B) "dinosaur" and "bone".
Relic for fossil
"Remnant" for fossil!
I don't see how they male contestant became a champion.
Did Carol say "facile" or "vessel" to get the correct answer "fossil"? Anyone know?
Neither. She said "fassel", which I don't think is a real word.
BAD PLACE to put a microphone ..👂
Burnett, Lawford, and Anka. OMG! I almost forgot Betty White!
If they zwould only see LA is today
Carol Burnett's still very much alive, and I'm sure she knows what L.A. is like today.
Why is he allowed to say "hostess" when the word the answer is in the clue?
If it were not a lightning round, Dr. Goodwin would have buzzed "host" because the password was within the clue. But the rules are lax during the lightning round because it's not a competitive situation.
He isn’t. They should have disqualified the word but the exploding bulb disoriented everyone.
I thought the exact same thing.
Impede for stall
Procastinate.
idle

You could tell he always deemed happy and in his element yes!

I wish Fallon was more like Peter Lawford than Robin Williams when playing Password.
👍 👍
Print. There is some kind of print on a fossil.
Allen definitely says too much sometimes. It can throw the player off. Shut up!
That's why he kept quiet on Password Plus. He said he was liable to give away solutions.
Did Debbie brown win on 5/24/67?
Whats with Allen's hair
What the heck is the stewardess wearing on her head? It looked like it was barely hanging on.

petrified + prehistoric for fossil.
"Hostess" as a clue for "host"? They played pretty lose with the rules.
only in the lightning round, I don't think it would have counted in regular play.

*Lawford should've said "My Career" as a clue for 'Fossil'*
That's two words, Gerry.
@@friedchickenicedtea *'Sarcasm' is not in your repertoire?*
Bookkeepers are not accountants
most clues given are derivatives' of the actual word.
I found Alan pretty cutting at times. He puts down Peter and Sammy sometimes, and it makes me uncomfortable.
I never liked when he said too much like if he thought someone gave an off beat clue. He would say “what did you say?
That was Sammy and Peters whole thing, teasing each other. Roasts were popular back then.
He could be obnoxious on certain episodes. Rolling his eyes on some people’s responses. Or he would say no , very loud ! 🙉
