Sal Mineo at 3:02 in the video "Would you like her zip code? I would" Sal is such a delight and so sweet! It's so sad that his life was cut short at such an early age.
This must have been taped at the studios of ABC-owned KGO-7 (they moved to a new facility closer to the waterfront in the 1980s, the old studio sat vacant for years and was recently converted to condos).
For those who wonder who those people stage left are: Merla Zellerbach is/was a journalist and mystery novelist in San Francisco. Paul Speegle was a journalist in San Francisco. Kathryn Ish was an actress and a member of the Committee comedy troupe, which moved from San Francisco to LA. Peter Bonerz, Howard Hesseman and Rob Reiner were also members of the Committee. And Scott Beach is/was an actor and voice-over talent who was a fellow member of the Committee with Ish. He was the original announcer on "The Newlywed Game" (perhaps Lange lobbied to Barris for him) but Chuck Barris felt his warmups were too intellectual and political and fired him for Johnny Jacobs.
I always loved "Oh My Word" Did you recognize the Theme from Don McNeill"s great radio morning show of the 30's, 40's and 50's "the Breakfast Club"? --Jim in Del Rey Oaks
This was so much fun I watched mainly because I knew but he Greco very well he and his then wife Dani were often at our home in Manhattan or guests at his performances at New York nightclubs. I also knew Sal Mineo less well and still lament his tragic and untimely death being murdered because he was homosexual. He was a brilliant actor and Buddy was an absolutely fantastic entertainer with a great voice.

Went to a taping when I was a teenager - 5 episodes in one day!
this is a fun little game show
Caspar Weinberger was also a panelist on this show, presumably during his time at Bechtel.
Never saw this show, since I grew up in San Diego. Fun one! Jim Lange was great as the host.
In the 1980s, Scott Beach became the announcer for the revival of "Oh My Word"(titled "Take My Word For It!").
I'm improving my Scrabble play with this show.
Jim Lange...RIP.
Ah, the predecessor to "Take My Word For It", oddly enough, taped in the same city, San Francisco.

RIP Merla Zellerbach
Of course, if this show were simply called "Oh My!", it would have probably been hosted by Dick Enberg! LOL
I never even heard of this show. Was this show local (San Francisco area) or national?
OK, so this is Balderdash, decades before the board game existed!
Didnt they retool this show in the 70s and called it "The Liars Club?" Seems very similar if I remember correctly.
