So sweet and pretty on her very small 4'10" 92 pound body frame! You'll FOREVER be in my heart sweet Jane!

[@GeeBee909]

Jane Powell is stone cold beautiful. I've seen a color photo of Jane at the opening day of Disneyland in 1958 sitting in front of the castle and she is breathtaking. Loved her in Athena

[@randysills4418]

Actually, Disneyland opened in 1955. I was there... ❤

[@lynettepalecek3141]

I remember watching Red Buttons in the 1972 movie "The Poseidon Adventure." The ship was named "The Poseidon" after the Greek god of the sea.

[@riveranormanf.8770]

Rest in Peace Jane Powell, died today at aged 92 years old.

[@marycook1644]

I had not heard. Thanks for telling me. Blessings from California. 🦋

[@petermaxwell2965]

Jane has the most beautiful eyes in the world ..

[@lynnturman8157]

Thanks!

[@donaldleroy6502]

I know we all have our personal preference, I can understand how you feel because my favorite is Lee Remick, but I cannot in good conscience say she or any beautiful woman has the prettiest eyes in the world, but I will agree that she's very fine, ✌

[@akrenwinkle]

@@donaldleroy6502 It's hard to recall any actress of Jane's era who didn't have blue eyes. Only Oliva de Havilland and Judy Garland come to mind. My mind, anyway.

[@litaaitkendecattaneo8916]

I enjoy so much this show in this days. Is a fresh air !

[@jimrick6632]

JANIE IS STILL WITH US AND SHE JUST TURNED 89...LOVED HER ALWAYS...

[@waldolydecker8118]

11:24 Red Buttons mentions Paul Whiteman, making it about the 6th or 7th time I've heard Whiteman's name mentioned randomly scanning these programs. Whiteman had a long career, but then so did many others...amazing that he would be on the tip of the tongue for so many different visitors to this program at least 10 of 15 years past his peak popularity. Good for him.

[@johnphillips5081]

My Great Aunt was Jane Powell's Personal Cosmotologist. My Father has been in her home, and my Mother hated her. I think she (my Mom) was extremely jealous of Jane.

[@kristenkaz3080]

With Jane Lowell’s looks, I would think ANY woman would be jealous of her. Although I’ve heard that she was a delightful individual.

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

Teens looked older then. That high school student looked about 30. I like how Jane mentioned Red Skelton, and Red Buttons asked, "Red who?" Jane took it completely seriously.

[@marycook1644]

Red Buttons must have been serious about not watching the program ! He needed alot of help on the ⚡️lighting round !! He just shouted the same word repeatedly. 🙉

[@magnificentfailure2390]

The mention of the movie, "Gay Purr-ee" sent me on a brief Google search and answered a lot of questions for me. I remember seeing Disney's "The Aristocats" one time at the drive-in with my family when I was a tot, but after having watched the VHS release of the movie, I always felt that there was a lot missing. Now it all falls together. My parents took us to a double-feature!

[@waldolydecker8118]

Red did an excellent job in Gay Puree -ee.....I seem to remember him and Robert Goulet singing a marvelous song about "Bubbles," regarding drinking champagne. Nice Arlen-Harburg score and Judy being Judy, of course.

[@user-ti7yt9vj2f]

Red is the first I've seen to call out anyone for using hand gestures and it happens all the time

[@doraphillips7098]

Red Buttons wouldn't even shake the guys hand.

[@elspethcoogan1499]

With these shows I used to take for granted the slick editing of the camera shots, which are pretty nifty!

[@karendeaton9297]

The show seemed a little tense where Red was concerned. His young partner was very sharp.

[@alanhumphrey4198]

The high school chick was a very good player for her age...

[@Keatonkg360]

RIP Jane Powell

[@teeniebeenie8774]

love jane!!!!! so pretty..

[@teeniebeenie8774]

alas, I never appreciated mr buttons.

[@errorsofmodernism9715]

Connie the cheerleader is setting off fire alarms

[@thomascrispin1228]

Looks like Ellen

[@allenlenz9412]

Paul Whiteman, in today's world Red Buttons would be cancelled the next day LOL

[@kenbrown438]

Red Buttons should have had a part in The Sopranos !!!!

[@magnificentfailure2390]

Red Buttons looked like Archie Andrews when he was trying to get "dimple" across.

[@HappyLife693]

Connie Gogzina looks almost exactly like comedian, Kate McKinnon.

[@jonathanashbeck3740]

Jack Clark sure had sense of humor

[@alanhumphrey4198]

I think "Chinese" is the clue he meant to give for lantern.

[@pattydonohue5452]

Wow to think this was just shortly before JFK was tragically killed. One of the Worst days in American history to many people at that time. Still heartbreaking.

[@FigaroHey]

4:48 an audience member shouted 'Crime!'

[@ambientrelaxingandhealingm7552]

I was thinking for "Magnet" even as a 1st clue "Attractor…" As a side note, funny how "PULL" (or Puller) would have been better than "POLE" :-)

[@mhk3360]

The Cuban Missile Crisis was resolved that day. I think Red Buttons was referring to speech Kennedy made on 10/22.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

For "fudge," I would have said "chocolate" and then I would have said "bars."

[@donaldleroy6502]

Not familiar with anything Jane Powell is known for, but she seems very smart and 😎

[@dmnemaine]

Many MGM musicals of the 1940s and 50s. Her most famous role is Millie in "Seven Brides For Seven Brothers".

[@donaldleroy6502]

@@dmnemaine thanks for the info, but I will say THAT'S why I'm unfamiliar, not a musical fan, Merry 🎄 and 😊 New Year

[@dmnemaine]

@@donaldleroy6502 Kind of figured that.

[@kristenkaz3080]

“Seven Brides for Seven Brothers”, a musical put out in the 1950’s (I think). Her voice is STUNNING. Absolutely mind blowing & I’m not a big fan of musicals.

[@LifeOfJimbo]

4:46 did someone in the audience yell out the word lol

[@FigaroHey]

'Divinity' for 'fudge' would have done it right after 'chocolate.'

[@richrol58]

Board for Tough huh

[@FigaroHey]

The female contestant Connie Godzina... Her surname is Polish for 'Hour'. Poles have some strange surnames.

[@KristaBrewer-rq7mo]

Someone made a comment on the previous episode, and now I'M curious. Were there any black people on this show; Celebrity OR contestant?

[@LULOHANFYAH]

That was such a "blonde" response. While trying to get her to promote her latest project Allen asks Jane what she's been doing lately. She replies: "I um, well I went to the beauty parlor today." 🤦‍♂️😂😂😂

[@FigaroHey]

Or modesty?

[@LULOHANFYAH]

@@FigaroHey Nah, everyone knows they come on those shows with the purpose of promoting their projects. They have limited time to do that. There's no time to be coy.

[@richrol58]

She was aware of what she was saying I believe...

[@LULOHANFYAH]

@@richrol58 I highly doubt it. Back then they did not have as many tracks to promote projects. There was no social media. Network TV was a big deal then. Her producers were undoubtedly cringing.🥴

[@richrol58]

What was she promoting her beauty parlor??

[@m.e.d.7997]

Editorial was a really stupid clue on Janes part!

[@ambientrelaxingandhealingm7552]

Although you would've had a snicker (or outright laugh) from the audience at this word, however, it is a technical word for (and in fact an EXACT synonym for) chew ... and that would be "Masticate." It certainly wouldn't be appropriate for the next word to define to be "Lubricate." :-)

[@lynnturman8157]

I thought Red was gonna grab the guy by the throat and start shaking him. FUDGE YOU DUMMY!!!

[@jackanthony976]

Jane Powell's career had tanked by this time, which is why Allan probably asked her "What have you been doing lately? Jane Powell tanked her own career when she agreed to play Hedy Lamaar's daughter in the taudry B film "The Female Animal." The movie tanked Hedy Lamaar's film career as well.

[@jimrick6632]

NOT TRUE...SHE CONTINUED ON AND IS STILL ACTIVE...MUSICALS WENT OUT OF FASHION AROUND 1955 AND SHE WENT INTO LAS VEGAS, TV AND BROADWAY..PLUS MANY TV APPEARANCES...

[@teeniebeenie8774]

did she do hello dolly? would have been so good in it

[@fpinzow]

He often asked that question, even when he knew. It allowed them to speak about anything they were doing with some free advertising.

[@mkofftiger]

Regrettably, as a first soprano, her singing voice was less and less marketable as time went on...styles change. She's a talented lady with a magnetic personality.

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

Later in life, she married Dickie Moore, who was in the "Our Gang" short movies.

[@patcarter313]

Big time cheating, talking through clues, hand gestures. LOL

[@dmnemaine]

Password always had a pretty laid back feel to it. I think the only rule they were real sticklers about was the one word clue rule.

[@yadirasotelo6377]

Also a word within the word, such as, clue: editorial word:editor
