❤️Richard Dawson and the Dallas Cowboys especially Charlie Waters and Tony Dorcett

[@wolfyhound]

I can just imagine the producers telling Dawson "We're going to have the Dallas cheerleaders on as a team, think that's okay?" and him just giggling uncontrollably for the next ten minutes.

+wolfyhound Host of family feud panelist on match game

[@wolfyhound]

Yeah! More Dawson is more goodness in life! I miss that man!

[@toddinthemiddle]

danny white is my all-time favorite cowboy. trippy to see how big he was here.

[@weeklydcc09]

I remember watching this as a teenager. I was so in awe of the Dallas Cowboys and their Cheerleaders. I'm even more in awe of them to this day. RIP Richard Dawson. You were the best host Family Feud ever had.

[@nickyviolaguitar]

Sure do miss Richard Dawson! He was my favorite Game show host growing up. Dallas had some superb players back then and the cheerleaders were all attractive. Football had class back in those days. Wish it was that way now!

[@nana820able]

Tom Landry was coach and he demanded respect and good behavior.

[@edwardmoore5325]

Yeah we're in the Jerry Jones era now band he should have kept Landry on for a few more years even as a advisor.now Jerry has wrecked the team and he's facing a paternity suit.rip Harvey Martin.writing this in March 2022.

[@nana820able]

@@edwardmoore5325 He's proof money can't buy class.

[@toddinthemiddle]

@@edwardmoore5325 dallas won 3 super bowls within 7 years of jerry buying the team. landry had to go...especially after how he did danny white.

[@WDRowlett]

I love Richard giving the "Hook 'em Horns" sign when he says, "see 'ya on the Feud".

[@wolfyhound]

I'm pretty sure that's the Deaf sign for "I love you" that he does in response to a little deaf girl who sent him a letter about how she watched him every day on TV.

[@lakebay972]

+WDRowlett The "Hook 'em Horns" sign is where the index and pinky fingers are spread out and the thumb is touching the middle and ring fingers. The sign language for "I love you" is where the index and pinky are straight up and the thumb is spread out. Richard is doing (or meaning to do) the latter.

[@crissrudd4554]

He was. He even revealed in an interview that he was inspired to do this after receiving a letter from a lady early in the shows run who had a deaf daughter who somehow miraculously would dance to the show's theme when the show came on.

[@oliviaandrade1483]

I was only 6 weeks old when this episode aired! Wow. I was raised a Dallas Cowboy fan. So, I only recognize Tony Dorsett, although I am sure my dad would surely tell me about the other great Cowboys here!

[@jonathonashikyan3885]

RIP Richard Dawson and Teri Richardson :(

[@6446kingukongugojira]

Don't Forget Harvey Martin.

[@dougbarrett619part2]

i love this ep im a big cowboys fan. rip richard

[@orbison]

This was one of the only All-Star FF specials where Richard dosen't wear a tuxedo.

[@landrykkb]

Awesome!I remember watching this at the time it aired.Mind you,I was only 7 then.

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

RIP Teri Richardson, Bless your soul. OMG Love LOVE Kim Kilway. SEE....AMERICA'S TEAM!!!!!

[@dougchan8161]

RIP Kim Kilway.

[@Ivoryman1986]

This aired on July 3, 1980 IIRC.

[@nickyviolaguitar]

Wow just about 41 Years ago

[@MelodyMaker151]

The Dallas cheerleaders and the Laker girls really changed how cheering and dancing was viewed in pop culture. Very interesting.

[@terryrodbourn2793]

Rest in peace.

[@georgemaster9952]

I would like to see the show where game show titles are the answers.

[@WDRowlett]

Back when the Dallas Cowboys had "class" aka "BJ" (Before Jerry Jones).

[@wizpro]

Riiiiiight!!!!!! #agree.com

[@trevorpanno5371]

Richard Dawson was also a panelist on “I’ve Got A Secret” which he did between “Hogan’s Heroes” and “Match Game.”

[@iceman6211]

The sister cheerleader looks good nice and CHOCOLATE

[@lastdays3148]

And her hair was real. Growing up as a little Melanin girl in the 1970s and a Teenager lady in the 1980s. I wanted to see more Melanin women on the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. My opinion only,but the women were more Feminine & Elegant in the 1970s and the earlier 1980s.

#AmericasTeam !!!!!

[@robertmorris8997]

Number 33, Tony D!

[@frankgifford207]

His son Anthony Dorsett who also played in the NFL appears at the end of the show

[@theothertroll]

Sad, the money they win wouldn't even cover the expenses for the charity's CEOs -

[@georgemaster9952]

So, Dawson caught a football (American).Not bad for an Englishman, considering football in Europe is soccer.

[@sqlcomp]

When football had class! They stood for the flag & respected the law! Nowadays a bunch of over grown thugs!

[@carolsanders3979]

Do agree with you.

[@TheScouser1234]

did he just say 'my fiance's here ??

[@elvinwance1768]

What are you telling me it's nvm

[@kbee]

1980. Is this "playoff" the first appearance of black people on the show? He kissed the white women on the mouth and kissed Terry Richardson on the cheek. Interesting.

[@Decetop]

No I don't think so. Although you have a point about the kissing.

[@livinmylife5182]

kbee Yeah ! I noticed that too... Wow !

[@michaelangst6078]

fuck off with your no research racist claims.. She was the one turning the cheek to him,. he was kissing black women since he started doing it on the show in late 1976

[@toddinthemiddle]

he had kissed other black women on the lips before this. it's up to the contestants.
