[@mollyquinn9120]

Rosemary such a classy lady and Sammy was so talented & charming. God Bless them both. ♡

[@janeiwasduncan8463]

I wonder if they preformed together?? What a great act that would have been!!

[@christinalw19]

Class, style, elegance. Please God, bring it back. 🙏🏼❤️❤️

[@danseabreeze1404]

Rosemary is such a sweetheart, you can tell she would defend her friend Sammy Davis in an instant!

[@cpete2976]

Would have loved to hear a brief duet with Sammy and Rosemary!! 🎵

[@warrenhoffman2006]

They could've done "Hey There", was a big hit for both of them.

Remember, Sammy was only seeing with his right eye since 1954...wonderful entertainer!!

The other day.

[@christophermorgan3261]

Just checked out Sammy's partner he did get his PHD in philosophy and is now a prof emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Washington(check their site), and has the required philosophical grizzled beard , but otherwise looks the same. He is a specialist in Aesthetics. Wow 50 years ago, thanks YT!

[@GiftSparks]

Thanks so much for finding this! I always wonder about the people- if they are still alive and what their stories are. In this particular episode I actually recognized Sheldon Hackney immediately! He was a Ph.D and the president of University of Pennsylvania when I was there. (He was Rosemary Clooney’s partner in the middle game). But they didn’t even ask him what he did! They just asked if he had a family.

[@wynnssecret8882]

Christopher Morgan.......When he mentioned getting a degree in philosophy I thought " What do you plan on doing with that degree"? Teach of course; but is there anything else you can do with a philosophy degree(???)

It almost seems as if it would have been more fair to split the 50 between both contestants when the celebrity gave away the word in the lightning round.

I love this game but some of the players don't say obvious clues.I would have said 'bread' for 'loaf', or 'meat' ,as in meatloaf.Sammy would have been a fun partner.Sammy is a singer, his partner should have said song for lyrics.

[@r.p.mcmurphy6623]

who cares???

[@lynnturman8157]

Have you noticed that whenever the celebrity accidentally says the actual word during the lightning round, Allen gives it to the contestant? If it was the celebrity, I would just say the five words immediately thus setting a new lighting round record of five seconds.

[@marycook1644]

You made me giggle !! 🦉

[@kurtmorris454]

yeah, why didn't I think of that?

[@voicetube]

After we had established that first clue for "Amnesia" (Forgetfulness) I think a shoe-in for getting it on the second clue would be if at 4:16 Davis had simply said the one word, "Diagnosis" (okay, maybe not a sure thing, however, I give it an 80% chance that the contestant would have gotten it).

[@kurtmorris454]

I thought after forgetfulness that temporary might have done it.

[@sharksport01]

Memorylessness.

[@voicetube]

For "Tempt" - even for a first clue, "Entice" could have worked (especially if said with a little bit of acting behind it). Also, "Entice" would offer less of a chance of an answer with the wrong form of the word (like temptation, etc.).

[@kurtmorris454]

I thought incentive.

[@2nd2nun1]

Contestants have to leave after only one round?

[@m.e.d.7997]

Always hated that

[@marycook1644]

I know ! It is sad when someone gets the booby prize of fifty bucks !! 🦇

[@r.p.mcmurphy6623]

You ought to be a detective!!!

[@voicetube]

Since they seem to allow at least small gestures, indeed (as it was used for a second clue) Davis could have cinched it again with a first clue by saying "Fraternityyyyy" and then gently gesturing toward the girls. End of story. I'd have given it an 85% chance of success.

[@voicetube]

At least after the first or second clue, for "Yarn" I probably would've said "String……" (with that undulating-sound deal they do :-)

[@m.e.d.7997]

They should let them go back to the word if time in the round

[@malcolmmarshall5946]

What year they invented color TV ? This is bad

[@keithhyttinen8275]

1958. Networks waited until 1965 to start using it in their new shows. The color TV sets were very expensive.

[@kentdean3882]

NTSC color TV went on the air in 1954, but it took the better part of a decade for the economy of scale to make the sets widely-affordable and for enough color content to appear to justtify the cost of the sets. ABC and CBS were also late to the party because they resisted paying a license fee to RCA. That logjam was reduced when Norelco (North American Philips) introduced their own NTSC cameras, with which (I think) early color episodes of Password were photographed.
