20:12- 20:36: Kitty's question about the clown's nose was hilarious, you could tell it was set up for a punch line and #1 nailed it perfectly. Kitty- "#2, what is your nose made out of? #2- Plastic, Kitty, How does it stay on #3? #3, by glue, Kitty- #1, how do you get it off? #1, pull. That was classic, I was cracking up.
That was a nice touch at the end of the show. It was probably Bud's idea. Roy Campanella was the HOF catcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Tremendous power hitter. Thanks for the video.
I’m glad you included the ending with the Christmas presents being given out to the kids by the panelists. Really thoughtful of the network to do that.
I wish they bring back Xmas cheer like this on TV shows. Now you can't say anything nowadays without pissing someone off and getting sued. Shameful and sad
@11:18 Tom mentions "Thigpen," who most likely is not Earl, but Ed Thigpen, legendary drummer for the equally legendary Oscar Peterson. (He says "Earl" during voting, whom I haven't heard of, but there very may well be one.) My grandfather was friends with Ed and I've had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Thigpen and seeing him play drums. Such a wonderful episode!
Peter Keepnews, #2 in the first game, became a jazz critic and record producer, and is still active as such. I have a Barry Miles album at home, but he doesn't play drums like he did on this show on it. Also, it's Ed Thigpen, not "Earl."
Come to think of it, Barry doesn't play drums on the album I mentioned below. He plays piano only on this album (recorded in 1971), but the drummer he uses (Silverlight) was only 14 years old at the time.
Salem got to hang on to about 1800 cigarettes this time!!! BTW, they're forever going on about freshness and springtime when cigs actually rob us all of enjoying the air around us when they're lit...! LOL
I think smokers are the most insensitive people around! They spew their filthy habit all over by blowing their condemned smoke into other's space, then discard the butts where ever (,that is called littering)Sure wish , for their sales would quit!
Why in the WORLD would they advertise cigarettes on a show with nobody but kids? All 12 contestants were kids (and I ANY show with kids on it is great). And Bud passing out Christmas gifts to the kids at the end was a nice touch too
That's actually my grandpa as 'Tic' Pindar. He's still alive and told me about this episode and that he had a crush on the girl clown at the podium.
So cool! Does he remember which girl he had the crush on? (My guess is #1).
I won't lie. I teared up when they handed out presents. What SWEET episode with 9 darling children.... (And I typically loathe kids.)
Oh, come on. They are delicious.

Unstomachable, halfway in and I hurled twice, literally. With respect

How awesome was that? I loved this show and the gift-giving was a great touch!
This episode, with all of the kids, was extremely entertaining! I wonder if clown #1 became a comedienne! All of the kids were very charming.
I hope their not passing out salem cartons as Xmas presents to the kids.lol
@@trob1781 No, they were all home versions of To Tell The Truth 🙄

It’s even worse now than when you posted. So sad.

I get goosebumps just reading the name Oscar Peterson. The man was incredible. What an honor to have been his drummer.
One of the best episodes
What a wonderful idea for a Christmas show ... children as guests topped off with gifts for them
How lovely to give everyone Christmas presents!
By the following week, Gene Rayburn began his 7 year run as host of The Match Game on NBC which ran until Sept 26, 1969
“Pull!” Hilarious!! Lol.
I wonder what they received as presents. It would have been nice to have seen what they got.
Probably the To Tell The Truth boardgame.
I loved this episode! But oh my gosh, Tom just disappeared at the end!
You're right. He had somewhere to go. That's funny!!!
@@sheila174 A performance of Mary Mary, no doubt.
Bud kept acting very impatiently in this episode.

In his bio, Silverlight was his brother.
Barry was also a band leader and composer.
@@sbalman Yep, Barry's name was Silverlight. He spent years as Roberta Flack's musical director. Quite an impressive resume.
I must be getting old, the contestants seem to be getting younger.
It would have been cute if the clown - instead of saying 'pull', reached out and did the 'I've got your nose' hand gesture.
Gene says "The Match Game" starts "a week from today." Who would schedule a show to debut on New Year's Eve?
4 o'clock in the afternoon really wouldn't interfere with any New Years Eve activity.
Only CBS

@@janeiwasduncan8463 I am so glad so many places now are smoke-free. It seems like as non-smokers always got the smoke in our face.

It's called a contract and the show is not aimed at children .
Boy #3 in Game #1
Teen #1 in Game #2
Girl #2 in Game #3
If only that last round had been in colour!
“How do you get it off?”
“PULL!”
The shows best answer ever from the loveliest contestant ever!
Campanella Jr. looks exactly like his dad.
spitting image.
3 for 3. Hoorah!
They gave them boxes of Salem cigarettes.
They edited out the part where all three young men raised heck because they weren't gifted the carton of Salem's......
Gene Rayburn was one strange looking dude.
hey kids, study math and science, creepy a.. clowns area fading out soon
I lost my lunch , twice, during this ep
My least favorite episode, incredibly inane and unbearably grating, with respect
Really? I didn't see what was grating necessarily. I'll take this episode over any of the Orson Bean ones and his unfunny time-wasting.
@@AndrewMacLaine Glad YOU thought so. ANY show with kids on it is great
Barry Miles had quite a career as well as attending Princeton. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Miles_(musician)
