Hollywood Squares - Jokes Running Away, and Gilbert's Four Answers in a Row

From Season 1 of "Hollywood Squares," this montage of clips chronicles the "jokes running away" bits from the Ken/Catherine episode, as well as the first time Gilbert couldn't get a correct answer to win the first round! (This is not "YOU FOOL!," but it's just as funny!)
Celebrities featured here include Whoopi, Bruce Vilanch, Gilbert Gottfried, Jimmie JJ Walker, and Gary Burghoff.

[@cinekodakexp]

At one point during the YOU FOOL episode, Tom breaks away from his question and says to Gilbert "This happened first season too, didn't it?" This was the segment he was referring to.

[@ThunderFist1978]

Thank goodness it always happened with Gilbert!

[@andytay5507]

Been wondering about that til now.

[@kurtbarlow9402]

Gilbert yelled "you fool" so loud that he was picked up by a second mic in the studio. It's pretty clear during the second and third ones, after that the other celebs start chiming in

[@AuronArchangel0]

That’s exactly what it is, sir!

[@CelebrityHeart]

"The punch lines work, the set ups are all wrong" lol. I'm going to miss Gilbert

[@ArtbyL763]

I was thinking I hope they bring him back for the new Hollywood Squares. He was the best. I just realized he passed😢

[@SupermarketSweep777]

"I'll disagree." "Thank God. Golf clubs."

[@elissagordon3206]

Thanks, I couldn't hear the actual answer.

[@SometimesCreator]

a rare exchange, to be sure.

[@ChazWalsh]

Gilberts always so convincing with his answers, I love it xD

[@Lyrtsch]

I love love love it when funny people accept how bad they're bombing - and then revel in it. I don't remember seeing GG crack up like that anywhere else.

[@jackwhitbread4583]

Then you clearly haven't watched Gilbert cracking up over the prank phone calls where people use his voice to fk with ppl

[@thehistoryvideogameandgame4730]

This is hilarious, I love seeing everyone falling apart from laughter

[@joshjacobs1503]

R.I.P. Gilbert Jeremy Gottfried. Another Hollywood Squares zinger I loved from him was the following: TOM: Gilbert, where do most birds prefer to make their nests? GILBERT: Inside Bruce Vilanch's beard!!!

[@technospyform1578]

That reminds me of a different one involving Bruce's beard as a zinger... Tom: Gilbert, birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it - do what? Gilbert: They live in Bruce Vilanch's beard

[@chris.twentyeightt]

Thank god this was the time BEFORE the “You Fool” even aired.

You know you are funny when the entire panel, filled with comedians, are busting out in laughter.

LMFAO 🤣🤣😂. Oh my gosh I haven't laughed like this in a long time. OH my gosh. RIP to a great comedian.

Tom was an excellent straight man. I'd love another reboot of this. It has to include Tom as the host.

[@bigw8549]

I agree. He was my favorite Hollywood Squares host. Please bring this game back on television.

This video was missing for so long. I only just noticed last month that it was back. Now, if only someone would re-upload the Whose Line video of Drew Carey playing Foreign Film Dub with Sid Caesar, all will be right again!

The sound effects seem to be high pitched sounding, when you get a square and when your score display lights up.

This was classic 📺 week on Hollywood ⬛ s. I see Steve Landensberg, Gary Burghoff, Jimmie Walker, and John Forsythe. Who is the other woman with Bruce Vilanch, Whoopi, Caroline Rhea and Gilbert Gottfried?

Pat Crowley from Please Don't Eat The Daisies to complete this episode's guest, aired May 28, 1999 and the code is #1140.

I can't find the one where he made a crack about Brando that had everybody in tears. Does anybody know what episode that was?

[@technospyform1578]

How does the joke go?

[@mysticgirl916]

I think Tom's mentioned this many times. Gilbert was asked along the lines of which species had the largest eyes, and Gilbert said "Marlon Brando at a buffet"

[@nvd2ceb4]

@@mysticgirl916 That's it! I just wish I could find that episode.

[@MrMatteNWk]

Nowadays on his podcast, it's "Richard Pryor once fucked Marlon Brando..."

[@megamanj2004X]

Was this the same moment that Tom mentioned in some interviews that got Whoopi a no-so-friendly letter from Marlon Brando himself? I ask because Peter Marshall, the OG host of Hollywood Squares once mentioned that he received a not-so friendly letter from John Wayne himself after one of the questions about John Wayne and his kids came up and one of the celebs joked and said “They stand at attention and say ‘YES SIR!”

[@AC3handle]

okay, hold it hold it hold it holdit. How does the cops out there dressed as construction workers even work? So yeah, they're out there, and they can SEE when someone is speeding, but are they POINTing a radar gun AT them? Because if they're just...OUT there, visually watching cars, and they don't have something recording the person speeding, how's that shit gonna hold up in court?

[@andytay5507]

Perhaps it's automated, like those signs just prior to construction site these days.

[@devindoughty6993]

Perhaps they find a way to disguise the radar, so they don't notice it. You never really know.

[@andytay5507]

SO MUCH funnier: Cops are NAKED in first GG joke. How did he miss that one?
