Pete was really in his element playing Password.

[@jillv4006]

Next to Betty White, Carol and Peter were my two favorite Password players. Both so sharp! Lol loved the guys reactions when the contestant goofed

[@dann-oh3ow]

I would add Elizabeth Montgomery to your list

[@robertfahr2420]

Peter Lawford and Betty White the best players ever.

Carol Burnett was wonderful. Peter Lawford is probably one of the best Password players ever. His clues were brilliant.

[@randysills4418]

He held the record for the lightening round at 12 seconds!

[@christinalw19]

Name one thing Lawford accomplished besides being good looking, marrying a Kennedy, and being in the Rat Pack. I’m waiting. Even his Mother kept his educational curriculum at 1st grade level. 🙄

[@alexrafe2590]

Yes his excellent playing and that irascible humour, especially when it was directed at poor Allen Ludden was always very entertaining. The shows when he was on it are my favourites.

@@frigginirishloons Your comment says more about you than it does about Peter Lawford.

[@alexrafe2590]

I think it was everything everyone has mentioned here but for me also how Lawford’s quick take on tying the popping noise to Dr Reason A. Goodwin shooting himself was sheer brilliance made hilarious by Ludden’s endless, almost obsessive, references to Goodwin’s policing of the game’s rules about two word clues and hyphens - as if anyone cares! I know I was laughing at the vision of this stern prig shooting himself dead at the supposed enormity of some word rule broken in the lightening round! Priceless 😆

[@alexrafe2590]

@@4seeableTV no indeed, that’s one of the ‘reasons’ Peter Lawford’s quick parrying of the bulb exploding into Dr Goodwin committing suicide caused me to erupt into helpless laughter 😂🤣 really one of the best comic moments in TV history.

[@howtube61]

It's great to see two of the best celebrity Password players ever playing in the Tournament of Champions in Carol Burnett and Peter Lawford. Lawford was one of the best male celebrity players of all time, helping a contestant win the Lightning Round in a record 12 seconds. It was a show that attracted many A-List celebrities such as Jimmy Stewart and Lucille Ball. A true classic.

[@frigginirishloons]

Barbara Eden, Elizabeth Montgomery and Betty White were pretty good too

I wonder if the stewardess ever got married? She seemed like a lot of fun. Like a young Anne Meara. Probably in her 80's now if she's still with us.

[@yadirasotelo6377]

I agree with his comment they pay attention to ALL the clues and add them up to make a correct guess.

[@pikemeredith5604]

Debbie is a little bit like Doris Day. Well she wears the same hairstyle.

[@johnsarkissian5519]

I think when a participant blows it by accidentally giving away the word, especially if it’s the actual player and not the celebrity person, instead of throwing out the word, they should give the points to the other player.

[@kingskidgirl2]

Carol got away with gesturing all the time! 🤣😂🤣😂 But that's ok - she's awesome!

[@alexrafe2590]

@King’s Kid Girl what about Eydie Gorme?! She was absolutely shameless! Allen was always calling her out and still overlooked about 80% of her gesturing. I say that and yet still find her appearances on Password enchanting, with her intelligence and bubbly enthusiasm. She would have been a great player even if she had never used a gesture. Still I remember Steve Lawrence becoming very grumpy in an episode where he played against that actress who starred in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. And it made think ‘Sir look to your wife’!

[@kurtmorris454]

Carol Burnetts thing was distracting the opponent by saying 'OH' when it was their turn like she knew it.

[@MrPanzerblitz]

Just to put into perspective the seemingly low paying pay outs on this show, $700 in 1967 money (the first round payout) would be $5,262.72 today!

People do need to account for inflation

[@sailorbychoice1]

I've remember seeing Peter Lawford on other gameshows where his performance in the play was~ meh~ fair at best, but he was really surprisingly good at this game.

[@m.e.d.7997]

On that note Betty White was very good at this show but did not excel on other game shows She gave offbeat answers on Match Game. Arlene Francis was excellent on What's My Line but not as good on other Game Shows. It does not surprise me Peter was good at this word game. He knew his English and was born and raised in England. He was far from a dope.

[@alexrafe2590]

@@m.e.d.7997 yes Arlene and some of the other panelists certainly figured out their guests’ line of work much faster than I would have been able to. But Password was one other show in which her intellect and verbal dexterity made her an excellent player.

[@weatherboi]

Wonder why they allowed the clue "Hostess" for the word "Host"? Isn't that part of the word?

[@janew1720]

I was looking for this comment. It seemed the light popped as soon as Peter gave the clue. I thought it was a broken buzzer to disqualify the clue. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@mid.west2]

I was also wondering why "hostess" was allowed as a clue for "host." In another episode, they say that the word that is a clue cannot be contained within the actual word, so technically, "hostess" isn't contained within "host" since the "ess" part is missing.

[@weatherboi]

@@mid.west2 I don't think that matters, both are too close that they shouldn't be allowed.

[@kurtmorris454]

well it wouldn't have counted in a regular game.

My mom was on with John Astin (Addams Family) around this time but I don’t see it. Must be 1968. Can you PLEASE add those? It would be most appreciated.

Why is he allowed to say "hostess" when the word the answer is in the clue?

[@kokoken1]

If it were not a lightning round, Dr. Goodwin would have buzzed "host" because the password was within the clue. But the rules are lax during the lightning round because it's not a competitive situation.

[@randigerber1926]

I started to watch these after viewing Jimmy Fallon’s modern take on Password. I loved watching Password as a kid in the 1960’s. These are fun to watch, but I’m disappointed that they cheated plenty! (Gestures, using a form of the word {host/hostess}.) Peter Lawford’s reaction to the pop sound made me laugh out loud. I wonder if Dr. Reason A. Goodwin was attempting to disqualify the clue? He was too often silent, IMHO.

Not cheating in the Lightning Round. The boom was a light bulb blowing .

[@TommygunNG]

Things could be more lax back then. Society wasn't nearly as litigious. Today, the contestants would sue over anything. I wonder if that's why there are so relatively few game shows like this anymore.
