PASSWORD 1962-08-21 Rita Moreno & Bill Cullen

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

At lunch today my dad told the story (which I had never heard) of being on Password with Rita Moreno, as he's talking I'm googling and ask "might that have been August 21 of 1962" "possibly, why?" It was such a joy watching him re-watch himself from 61 years ago and it has been so great for us to be able to pass this clip around the family. Grateful that it was uploaded!

[@franksayre9011]

Smart guy.

[@zartamus]

please make a video and interview him for his point of view and more funny info and backstage! Greetings from Brazil

[@dianacastillo498]

He’s very good!!! One of the best I’ve seen!

[@thimbro7721]

Rita was adorable and still is. wish I could meet her.

[@watch2112]

She was 30 years old at that time.

[@ask4theupgrade359]

Born on 12/11/1931, Rita Moreno was 31 when she won her Oscar for “Westside Story” in early 1962. They announce her being an Academy Award winner at the top of this show, so she was at least 31+. She is also a very nice Puerto Rican lady.

[@puzzled_pelican3626]

Had the pleasure of meeting her at a west side story 55 year anniversary If i remember. She was very sweet signed extra autographs for my mom :)

Excellent episode with the lovely Rita Moreno. I like that the host bent the rules ever so slightly to allow both contestants to go away happy. This is how it ought to be.

[@donaldleroy6502]

Wow, Rita was a real cutie pie back when she was young ❤. Overall, another fabulous game

[@KCGeno]

Jack Clark did a good job as a sub host, although I do think he gave away too much information a few times. -- "Great clue!" -- That kind of thing. As for the winnings, it might not sound big now ... but $750 in 1962 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $7,370.79 today. Nice take for about 25 minute's worth of work!

[@gallowsradio]

Jack Clark was a very pleasant host...

[@karendeaton9297]

Jack Clark very personable.

[@voicetube]

In the lightning round for "Root" I think the obvious choice might be the first say "tree" then "bottom" (if the dude were to have said "trunk," then you follow up with the word "below" :-)

I wonder if Dave Brubeck was popular enough right around 1962 to say "Brubeck" (as a clue for Jazz).

[@dcasper8514]

I like that..

[@voicetube]

@@dcasper8514 Thanks!

[@rolandoe.diazolivom.d.4777]

"Take Five" was from 1961. There was a good chance he would have been a household name by then.

[@waldolydecker8118]

He was massively popular in '62, but then so was Duke "Ellington" who was even more widely known and accomplished in the jazz world - though neither probably would have helped the female contestant, who was given "music" and "Newport" and could only muster "cigarette."

I thought that Alan Ludden hardly miss any episodes of Password. Except when he was about passed away.

[@greglehmann7234]

A pretty 5'2" Dec.12 sweetie! Jack Clark hosted Password off and on and even was a panelist a few times.

[@RobertLofrano]

Rita was so beautiful here... Sigh..

[@voicetube]

For "Position" as a first clue I might've said in a slightly robotic manner "Orientation." I also did think of "Placement" but maybe it could've been said a little more "logically" or robotically.

[@jeffdon4]

I’m from Washington township!

[@voicetube]

In the lightning round for "Rudder" I'm wondering if he added the word "Flap" and then also maybe the word "Rear" - I suppose that might have done it?

[@PerkyDawn]

When your rule keeper writes dictionaries...

[@andydufresne5297]

The show really allowed quite a bit of clue-giver cheating. From hand motions -- like miming "plunging" a toilet, for example, not to mention the time when one celebrity tugged at her earlobe to indicate "sounds like" -- to head and eye movements to verbal crutches that added context to the secret word, the show played fast and loose with the rules. (And don't get me started on the times when the password was part of the clue but was still accepted, which isn't supposed to be allowed. Or when the clue word was a form of the password, but sometimes it was allowed and sometimes it wasn't.)

[@dalekelly7639]

Surprised about the poor lightning round with Bill Cullen. Went the wrong way with the passwords "root", "shoulder", and "shell".

[@janepiepes2243]

More Passwords !

[@voicetube]

For "Jazz" I might have used the same first clue (Music) but said it in a real cool jazzy way stretching out the "U" i.e. "Muuuuuuuuuusic!"

[@waldolydecker8118]

Nonsense...."music" is too broad...all needed to be said was "Ellington" "Dixieland" or some other specific jazz clue - although the female contestant was clueless on "jazz" so nothing probably would have helped her

[@voicetube]

@@waldolydecker8118 Yes,"nonsense" if not said in a jazzy way. "Ellington" would have prompted "duke" (or Jazz?) but "Dixieland" is excellent!

[@smadaf]

"Bicep" 'isn't a word'. The singular is "biceps".

Jack Clark

[@voicetube]

Although it did take me a little bit of time as an armchair quarterback from the 21st century watching this, LOL!… However for "Shell," I think two clues would've done it: First "Egg" (when the contestant most likely says something like "Scrambled" or "Hatch") the follow-up clue would be "Covering" (most likely he would have gotten it at that point). If not, I suppose clues like "Outer" and moving on to "Conch" might have done the trick. But again, I'm an "armchair Password quarterback" sitting here in the 21st century, basically in science-fiction land watching this on a flatscreen device with no CRT and much less radiation (than in 1960s-era television set)- really wild. Oh, probably the most science-fictiony thing I'm doing right now (and one of the reasons this comment is now so long) is that I'm using a speech-to-text program while speaking into a microphone...Talk about science-fictiony! :-)

How about Oil? For Shell company. That's what came into my head when shell was mentioned.

[@ambientrelaxingandhealingm7552]

@@JasmineSurrealVideos Good one! That could be really good because although maybe now we don't think of "Shell Oil" more likely "gas station") but back then I think the word "oil" was used more often when denoting a gasoline manufacturer, etc. (Shell Oil, Standard Oil, etc. :-)

[@kristabrewer9363]

Why do the keep saying that Bill Cullen is the star of the Price is Right? I didn't KNOW there was another host before Bob Barker

[@chrisparker7256]

Bill was the original host of The Price Is Right on NBC from 1956-65. Bob Barker was the host of The New Priceis Right (the dropped New after the 1st season) starting in 1972 on CBS. The original version was played much differently than Barker's TPIR. Even Barker's version evolved over the years since it started as a 30 minute show without a Showcase Showdown (the Big Wheel).

[@brookehanley3659]

I noticed Bill cheated not infrequently on other Passwords too. He was a fellow game show host. They gave him free passes on the cheating and never intervened.

[@smadaf]

From 12:09, that lightning round has the most painful string of clues I've seen. All the passwords might have been guessed as easily as "spank" (whip, child) if for "root" he had given stem, underground; for "shoulder", arm, upper; and, for "shell", turtle, protection.
