Double Dare - February 1977

[@mattkowal90]

My mom's first job was at McDonalds at 16 that very year (although the show ended 5 months before she turned 16). If you ask her what contents make up a Big Mac, she can list it off without skipping a beat in 5 seconds.

RIP Alex Trebek 1940-2020😭🙏❤️🌷!!!!

[@ericsamuelson5656]

Alex Trebek & Gene Wood will later work together on Classic Concentration 10 years later.

[@AustinLaPlante]

February 23, 1977 is the air date.

[@mattkowal90]

On the last ever SPOILERS Round, the answer was MOZART and the girl stumped TWO of the spoilers. The first one got it on the first clue she gave them. Then the audience booed very loudly with Alex saying to him,"You deleted expletive." The spoiler's name was Dr. Ralph Doty. Just to be clear, you can catch Double Dare on BUZZR during the weekends.

[@juicyfartsofjimcornette1154]

No, dull Ilene only defeated Bradford Burns. Sharon Clarke was NEVER GIVEN A CHANCE TO ANSWER on that fourth clue! The only time I can think of when a spoiler gave a sign that they knew the answer off of the fourth clue, but didn't get to answer was Sally Wallace from the *Paul Simon* episode (#14). And who was Sally's partner that costed her $100? Bradford Burns!

At a 1970 party at New York's Peppermint Lounge, these were served to Chubby Checker, Mike Nichols and Katharine Hepburn. Worldwide it's an edible; but in New York City, its name has come to be a slang term used in high finance. It's a fairly good bet that Rodney Allen Rippy would never let himself be seen with one of these in public. Aside from the obvious, its ingredients include onion flakes, pickle slivers and cheese.

John Lyles was also on Card Sharks.

[@Jack21Spades]

YES! I was right! I did recognize him!

[@canbac21]

Love the first spoiler on the reveal. Spoiler 1 don't give a shit. Spoiler 1 don't care.

[@juicyfartsofjimcornette1154]

Dr. Leslie Lotion is always "hiding in the corner" for all his appearances.

[@grigorb.5221]

19:27 this is what GSN needs to do leave the ending unedited.

[@juicyfartsofjimcornette1154]

I hate networks that talk during the credits! Especially if a split screen is not involved! Also, if you pay attention very closely, the *split screen/talk during the credits* happens. The uploader just cuts it off as soon as it happens. PS - Thank goodness for Buzzr.

[@Rlotpir1972]

The music cues would be later used in NBC's "Card Sharks" in 1978-1981.

[@puppyshoes2]

That's right.

[@kissfanmac]

No sh!t

[@BlackwoodCompany]

That subject he has could have stumped all three spoilers.

[@juicyfartsofjimcornette1154]

We'll never know if Paul Kizzlook (sp?) and Caroline Cee knew it was the *Big Mac* since this show never gives remaining spoilers a chance to answer off of the fourth clue if their partner screws up.

[@wschmrdr]

Fee plugs AND credits?! WOW!

There was still a credit crunch.

Johnny O also announced (I believe he announced early episodes)

[@sshuffield70]

@animegal2686 NP. I think Gene's experience with Double Dare came in handy when he did Card Sharks. Both Gene and Johnny worked many shows, usually a couple at the same time.

[@imal25]

A Perfect Bonus Round With The Spoilers!

[@juicyfartsofjimcornette1154]

He had to use all four passes. The *Jimmy Connors* episode (#95) is the one with no passes being used. Of course, that one was a little "Dotto-ish" for my tastes, so this episode is better.

[@billybishop1997]

It doesn't air on GSN anymore.

[@juicyfartsofjimcornette1154]

And thank goodness Fremantle (Buzzr) got it away from Sony's incompetence (Game Show Network)!

[@winterjason81]

This is a real great episode of Double Dare that you posted. I am very sure that I saw this exact same episode on GSN a while back when they were still airing Double Dare. Nice to see a perfect spoilers round to top it all off just before the end. I really hope you can post quite a few more of these espiodes that are from 1977. I would certainly like to see the episode that comes either before or after this one too. Thanks.

[@juicyfartsofjimcornette1154]

This was NOT a perfect spoilers round! He had to use all four passes. The perfect spoiler round is the *Jimmy Connors* episode (#95), if you don't mind how "21-ish" (original episodes) it felt.

[@darreljones8645]

The only successful part of this show was the theme song, which was re-used for the bigger Jim Perry-hosted Card Sharks.

[@excuseyou77]

Johnny did the first several weeks, then Gene Wood took over.

[@kissfanmac]

Do you have an airdate for this?

@BlackwoodCompany I wonder how many perfect Spoliers round this show had? I other words, none of them got the right answer.

[@juicyfartsofjimcornette1154]

No, if spoilers WERE NEVER GIVEN A CHANCE TO ANSWER off of that fourth clue, then it's not perfect! Sally Wallace once got *Paul Simon* (episode #14) off of the fourth clue, but since her partner, Bradford Burns in booth 1 drew a blank, she was not given a chance to answer. She did a motion to notify Trebek that she knew it off of that clue.
