Pepsi Cola Monopoly 1984

Host : Rick Dees

[@georgef551]

More than a decade later, Pepsi hosted an annual game show (3 times it aired) which to this day had the highest cash prize in TV history, $1 Billion.

"And this brand nnNNEEEWUuww car!"

Rick Dees dressing up with Steve Winwood's hair.

[@brunopiadista3338]

I wonder what would happen if the player landed on "Income Tax", "Luxury Tax", "Just Visiting" and "Free Parking"

[@stevenjordan3839]

He fails to mention go to jail as a possibility

[@tdelfino2509]

With the absurdity of this format and all of the tape glitches, not to mention the random Lorimar logo and slowly zooming in text during the intro, this whole thing is just slightly creepy 😬

[@Musicradio77Network]

The Lorimar logo isn’t creepy, but still calming.

[@crossface7770]

Rick fn Dees, i remember him on the radio for the top 40 countdowns on sundays

[@anenglishvillageforroberti2863]

10:04 - You landed on the hotel property. You lost!

[@MrKenichi22]

it’s like the monopoly game show before monopoly game show

[@drummingdanny84]

Six years before.

[@armorybrunotjr.3204]

I remember call-in game shows, dating back to "Dialing For Dollars".

[@PIXPromosMore]

Considering the 555 phone number, I'm honestly not sure if this was supposed to be a really long/bad comedy sketch or not.

[@marcpower4167]

a pilot maybe?

[@duanegunn611]

yeah I'm not sure but I think this really show it looks like one of those reality shows that they have after midnight lol

[@duanegunn611]

cause i don't remember the host did give the area code then the number

[@duanegunn611]

no, it was a pilot game those calls in for dollars game show they had at night or in wee hours lol cause i remember the board game

[@97channel]

I put my hands on the TV... stone cold.

[@Musicradio77Network]

0:00 is the Lorimar logo which were taken from “Dallas”, “Eight Is Enough”, and other shows.

[@JohnSmith-zw8vp]

The Artist Formerly Known As Rich Uncle Pennybags is running on the board backwards in the intro! Just like that NBC News intro from about this same time that had the Earth spinning the wrong way!!

[@Soxruleyanksdrool]

I couldn't play this because there's no car. And I'm always the car.

[@mikesaliba8920]

I'm having an extremely hard time deciphering if this is real or not

[@JSSTyger]

Kevin Bacon is a really good actor. It was cool to see Wilt Chamberlain too.

[@Football-Sidelines-NO]

Would this be some kind of pilot show?

[@paullarue2010]

Rick Dees was with KIIS FM.

[@MrKenichi22]

@17:30… So E.T. Drinks Pepsi when Mac drinks Coca-cola…

[@DBradshaw25]

They are giving away turkeys? Are they giving away Rick's jokes too in case they run out?

[@duanegunn611]

i don't remember seeing this on tv of course i was 9 or 10 years old

[@plushbatfan]

Another short lived game show. Whoa there cowboy!

[@anenglishvillageforroberti2863]

22:27 - It's GO TO JAIL....... OH NO.

[@DesmondShannon87]

First Land on a hotel and SPLAT! Pennybags gets pounded by an iron! Ouch!

[@DXKramer]

Well...this exists.

[@MrMatteNWk]

Johnny Olson cameo at 5:07! :)

[@austinl169]

The ABC-TV summer series was WAAAAAY BETTER.

[@marcomacias3960]

is that Charlie O Donnell announcing

[@andrewschroy6368]

Sounds like him to me! Coincidentally, he also announced the 1990 show with Mike Reilly as host.

[@duanegunn611]

@@andrewschroy6368 he did lots of shows as announce before he did wheel of fortune

[@LogoMan7777]

I could definitely tell this was a local show.

[@georgemaster9952]

Aha! No wonder I don't remember this.

16:41 Can you take *FIVE HUNDRED BUCKS!?!*

[@jerryharris876]

A failed pilot actually... 555 isn't a real phone number.

This was a sample test program. If fails completely. Not one to put on your resume.

Omg is this real or fake

[@VahanNisanian]

Produced by the same company who made the "Babble" Pilot. You know, come to think of it, did this company ever produce a game show that became a series?

[@jwgreek8606]

Nope

[@Sean-me4fv]

I’m assuming this is Maggie Speak, with a career as producer of Jeopardy, producer from Sony Pictures, contestant producer and contestant coordinator. Why is she a contestant on a show?

[@buchiklop110]

Likely a failed pilot.

[@jerryharris876]

It's a 555 number... aka a fake number.

[@duanegunn611]

@@jerryharris876 yeah it is a fake number but some states and cities are taking it now think lol but yeah but he did mention at the begin the state of Calif. at the beginging

[@andrewschroy6368]

Likely a run-through.

[@pnkflyd66]

Rick Dees nuts

[@cinnamonbeardstud]

I'm guessing this was a test or pilot?

[@duanegunn611]

I think so there was a similar game show in the late 89's till 1990

[@nextbarker2702]

Is this the only game show Rick Dees hosted?

[@duanegunn611]

you can check out www.wikipedia.org to find out more

[@louistenore2185]

was this before or after his stint on solid gold

[@andrewschroy6368]

(checks) Just months before his SG stint.

[@TDog14126]

Is this a comedy sketch?

[@Thompsonnw]

This was a phone in game show.

[@plushbatfan]

22:26 the "Go to Jail" is also out of the game too. The hotel is about the same as "go directly to jail."

[@jerryharris876]

It wasn't... 555 isn't a real number.

[@duanegunn611]

I remember I have seen them in the 1990s and 2000s but not in the '80s in Canada and the USA

Lame and as fake as this show seems to be, this show makes me feel cozy and safe!!!!!!!

[@theworldofron2712]

This was a complete farce. The callers all sounded the same and like actors. The pics were ridiculously staged.

[@garfieldsmith332]

Yep. it was a test promo sort of thing.

[@jerryharris876]

It was. 555 isn't a real phone number.

[@duanegunn611]

@@jerryharris876 so what did they do the actors in the show we're calling pretending to be contestants? I'm confused

[@CreightonRabs]

@@duanegunn611 This was likely a game show pilot in which the producers attempt to present the concept to either networks or syndicators. This is actually a common practice with new concept game shows.
