PASSWORD 1966-12-05 Carol Burnett & Roger Smith

[@randysills4418]

A few weeks after this, Carol and her husband told CBS that Carol wanted to exercise her option to do a variety show. The executives said that was a man's game and were not very interested, but Carol got her way. CBS thought that it would run for a few months...but it ran for twelve seasons and was a classic too!

[@michaelmcgee8543]

c.b.s obviously had forgotten about Dinah shore. She was the first woman singer to have her own variety show on n.b.c.

[@randysills4418]

Well, Carol Burnett concentrated on sketch variety and Dinah Shore concentrated on musical variety so they were different that way...

[@patrickd.3681]

@@michaelmcgee8543 maybe they chose to ignore that fact. Either way, Carol ultimately pushed through.

[@valeriegriner5644]

Carol Burnett is a phenomenal player...love to watch her!

SHE CHEATS TOO MUCH...

This is one of the funniest shows lol. Carol is so funny. Can see her progression to a funny lady over the years.

[@marioPop76]

Wheeee! Carol Burnett's back!

[@stormeliz7406]

This is so much fun to see again! We have an old password game!

[@dinahleeloo]

I love Carol Burnett and I love Password!

[@janeiwasduncan8463]

Did you notice the "ear tug" Carol gave??

[@yadirasotelo6377]

I read it was a way of communicating with her grandmother.

[@lisabenneett4735]

We had the home game version of Password, and we all played together as a family. The good old days.

[@waynebrewer8908]

Carol is so delightful and refreshing.

[@joenathan6478]

Carols face kills me on 16:11 😂 😂

[@marycook1644]

That is so adorable that Carol’s daughter and Dolly’s sons birthday are on the same day as the episode !! ✂️🖍🎂🍭

[@kevin6667]

My band got to open for Carol’s daughter’s band once. rip Carrie

[@lawsonj39]

Sometimes you see a "civilian" contestant you wish were a regular on the show. I felt that way about Dolly: excellent player.

[@johnfd0210]

Yes! I was going to comment, she should have had her own show!

[@michaelmcgee8543]

Love this show

[@shaunna28]

What a treat! The OG "Password"! 😍

[@theresaholguin699]

Fun show ❤

[@RepentfollowJesus]

They really allowed a lot of body language for clues during this season.

[@edmundpower1250]

Just Carol, she always cheated

[@johnphillips5081]

My oldest Nephew was born the day after this show.

[@lynnturman8157]

My cousin was born 19 years after this show.. She lives in Michigan. She's 5 foot 8 (I'm guessing. I'm 5' 11 & she's a few inches shorter than me. Or at least she was the last time I saw her in September of 2018. We had a family reunion. Her brother (whose also my cousin) is about the same height as she is

Never heard of Roger Smith? She pulls her ear to say hello to Grandmother that raised her!!

[@daisymay9203]

Honestly we synchronised ear tugged 👌🏻👂🏻🧡

[@diannemiller1895]

Roger's wife was Ann Margaret. Love Password. Might b fun game to purchase.

[@robinblankenship117]

Roger was a handsome man. He & Ann Margaret were a gorgeous couple.

[@KIRK976]

Finally a Password star I know Last week's Nancy Ames was unknown to many I asked!

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

I barely know who Roger Smith is. But he's damned good looking and a fine password player... and he's married to Ann-Margret. Who a couple they must have made.

[@sexymama1966]

She was on the show That Was The Week That Was and I think she did a guest role on The Name of the Game..I guess I'm one of the few who recognized her too.

[@sharksport01]

I love the way old women use to dress.

[@anglophils645]

Simple dresses are back in style. They really never went out of style, they're classic.

[@sharksport01]

I should have clarified, I meant the older women in the audience, the ones born in the 1800's.

[@buddybates3247]

I missed the Password for the day. 🤔

[@sdne1959]

. Coupla Questions: Does anybody know the name of the gentleman with the deep voice who "announced" all the Passwords ? And WHY did he say those Passwords with that kind of "mock whisper" ?? It's not like anyone was going to hear him in the studio audience, since that was obviously only being broadcast over the air (or, were those Passwords actually 'dropped in' in Post Production (i.e., after the fact?) ?? 🤔 .

[@hiyapal7719]

Carol gets by with *alot.* ... Like say sentences, instead of *one word,* like they're supposed to.

[@bach5150]

during the lightning round, they always let the stars get away with extra words...

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

The December 7 episode is missing. Too bad.

[@sheiladineen9483]

Charlie Brown?

[@malcolmmarshall5946]

Roger Smith was not being racist. If he'd imitated a German, Scottish or even Texas hillbilly accent, nobody would have said a word. Goodness gracious, the touchy feely, emotional owie snowflakes are getting irritating.

[@brachio1000]

When does he do the imitation?

[@jaymckenna9459]

Dolly was a tad rude. Roger was very polite about it. Of Course, he was probably having dinner with Ann-Margret that night.

[@cindyknudson2715]

How so?

[@randysills4418]

I think that Allen Ludden was a little bit hard of hearing...

[@sharksport01]

I like him but the way he comes out and flips his cord and just stands there for a second at the beginning is nauseating.

[@GilButler-b6m]

sadly $350 is still a lot of money lol

[@will8026]

This habit of Carol's to yell whenever she thinks she has the word should really be disallowed. It's very annoying and is designed to throw off the concentration of the other players. It's also very show-offie.

[@judykoeppelswas8231]

Lighten up 🎉

[@edmundpower1250]

Carol cheated more the more she appeared. It spoiled the game as she was great when she started. Nobody should be allowed back that often as they become too familiar and get away with everything. One funny thing though, when carols partner said he was a dentist watch how Carol hides her teeth 😂😂😂😂

[@jakespur6094]

Audience is as diverse as a carton of white eggs

[@vrinda5303]

So what? Are you saying that they didn't allow non-whites in the audience? Maybe, and this is just a longshot, black, Asians, and Hispanics weren't interested in this show. The audiences on modern game shows are no different.

[@tannawannavannabittannawan7138]

Jake Spur it’s disgusting and so is that racist, Rodger Smith.

​@@vrinda5303 legitimate observation. It was before the civil rights movement.

[@malcolmmarshall5946]

@@marytschida5756 Actually, 1966 was the very height of the Civil Rights movement. Congress passed the civil rights bill in 1964, the Voting Rights act in '65. Sadly, there were still violent race riots in Watts, Detroit, Newark NJ during this time. The civil rights movement began with Brown vs. Board of Education in 1954, then Rosa Parks refusing to stand on the bus in 1955, followed by the integration of Little Rock Central High in '57, the Woolworths lunch counter sit-ins of '60 and '61. Martin Luther King rose to national prominence during this time.
