I wish they would have done this format more often. Would have been nice to give the champion a bonus!

[@lorelcoyote1808]

Ludden is really sharp, to realize so quickly that the doctor heard salami as Salome.

[@maxdecphoenix]

He's also really sharp in that he legitimately remembered virtually all the guests names, occupations and hometowns. Rarely was it, but I've seen him catch himself saying the wrong town or name and apologize to the guest. Like he REAAALLY tried to remember that stuff and be sincere, it wasn't just fluff in the first few seconds of the show. I don't think after hundreds of episodes and thousands of guests i could give that much of a shit about another face or even be able to remember it for 3 seconds, but Allen really seems to have. And his ability to just be cordial and sincere to everyone was palpable. I've never seen anyone so amiable. Not even Sajak or Trebek.

[@infonut]

@@maxdecphoenix I agree. He took the game and time VERY seriously because he wanted those people to win as much as they could. And yet... I CAN'T STAND his demeanor when he cuts guests off. I know it's for a good and honest reason but he can be extremely rude sometimes. I always interpreted it as not letting any guest try and steal his thunder on HIS show. But that's just the bitch in me I suppose because, honeslly, I still think he was the best host. Maybe SOME celebrities just shouldn't play game shows.

[@marycook1644]

This is a very fun game !! I don’t why they didn’t say rocket 🚀 for launch ! Especially with the good Dr.

[@infonut]

You can tell Steve was off his game here. He had something on his mind because you could see the effort in concentration he was exhibiting. He did get in a good Steve Allen zinger with "it's just another case of a stuck window". Jayne was not very good but a delight. I love these two.

[@lenobrien2005]

The talent and the stars that are guests on this show and others like it , the stars didn't think they were above it they were wholesome people back then

[@infonut]

Yes. VERY down-to-earth and approachable.

[@scotnick59]

Steve was a genius = literally.

[@sharksport01]

Opposites attract.

[@danieldawg100]

I agree about Allen Ludden constantly warning Jayne Meadows about her using hand gestures.But truth be told,all the contestants,before this particular episode and continuing episodes knew that there were NO consequences for breaking the game rules.

[@lynnturman8157]

Except for shaming on the internet 50 years later

[@rockyjordy3271]

Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost the account password. I love any help you can give me!

[@rockyjordy3271]

@Bjorn Wilder thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@rockyjordy3271]

@Bjorn Wilder it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you saved my account !

[@bjornwilder2073]

@Rocky Jordy Glad I could help =)

[@voicetube]

Although under pressure I don't know if I would think of it, but for "beetle" certainly after a couple clues, I would have started to name the boys… (Probably "Ringo" first and then maybe "Paul" etc.)

[@maryeckerberg8041]

Alan Ludden's expressions are priceless.

[@sparkleplenty5829]

Love watching these Password videos, thank you! I find some of the comments so interesting, mainly because many people criticize the clues given by contestants and celebrities based on TODAY, not based on the mid-60s! Something I find fascinating is that the players and Allen Ludden all speak correct (American) English. The pronunciation is more precise than today generally and the overuse of the word "like" - as seen and heard today - is non-existent!

[@RobotWillie]

First time I have heard that name for a tuba myself, I would have been lost like Jayne.

[@lynnturman8157]

A sousaphone is a type of tuba that was invented for marching bands. Tubas are too heavy to carry around while you're marching so they invented the sousaphone. The tubing goes over your shoulder making it much lighter.

[@verity3616]

Sousa is famous for 'stars and stripes forever.' He wrote tons of marches and wanted the tuba to be featured so the portable version of the instrument was invented for him. I think the good doctor was hoping the clue of 'Sousa' in the name would give it away as tuba even if someone wasn't familiar with the term sousaphone. But even for the 60's that's sort of a 'band kid' clue.

[@lindaroper2654]

Jane was told to watch the hands more than anyone I know . She should of respected what ludden told her. I wouldn't of had her back

[@nancyhowell4505]

I saw some show a loong time ago, that made someone sit on his/her hands when their turn came. Some corrected themselves by crossing their arms. I don't remember if there was a penalty or not. Moving her hands and fingers around can be distracting to her partner also.

[@Ed3737]

Poor Steve seems to have had his hands full.

[@lindaroper2654]

Jane needed to save her acting for stage lol

[@voicetube]

I was thinking maybe "Pumpernickel" might have been a fair clue somewhere in there for "Rye."

[@allenlenz9412]

I never knew that Jane Meadows and Steve Allen wow

[@voicetube]

I'm surprised nobody use the word "Rocket" for "Launch" - certainly could have done it for the second clue. Of course rocket launches were maybe not quite yet (normally) televised, I suppose, in 1965.

[@voicetube]

For "Beetle" he might have tried, "British" and "Lads" (along with Sullivan and maybe the word "show")

[@4monkeystyle]

Volkswagen

[@voicetube]

@@4monkeystyle PERFECT! Although not as a first clue… Is the answer would clearly be something like "car" or "automobile". But along with other clues, perfecto for that time period!

[@lynnturman8157]

It always confuses the contestants when you combine different meanings with your clues. Especially during a lightning round.

[@voicetube]

@@lynnturman8157 this is true; sometimes you have to resort to that (when they are not getting it with the easier clues).

[@keithhyttinen8275]

"Ringo" ....."Bug"....

[@mikieanthony777]

Luden was a lil mean to Jane. He never went after the men like that

[@voicetube]

I think during that last lightning round, after the contestant said "Pane" if Allan had repeated that word as the next clue, I think that would have done it. Hard to say though. He did give some very good clues.

[@m.e.d.7997]

Jayne does look pretty here

[@karendeaton9297]

Jane does what Jane wants to do.

[@m.e.d.7997]

Perfect description of her! Had a mind of her own

[@kurtmorris454]

villain is an easy 1 word clue. HEROOOW

[@voicetube]

After "Take off" why didn't Allen say "Rocket" (that would have done it I think)

[@randysills4418]

Or missle...

[@voicetube]

@@randysills4418 good one!

[@m.e.d.7997]

@Christopher Bingham Or lift

[@lindaroper2654]

It almost makes me not want to watch this cause of Jane. She'd point over to the other team for her person to guess the word.

[@michellepost1016]

I agree with the remark of Daniel Benson.So many of those stars do gestures, but Audrey Meadows is worse about it.She acts like she can't think of clues for any words.I always liked Steve Allen, and thought he was cute.He is also funny.

[@kenbrown438]

Is Jayne wearing a hair wig !!!!????

[@tarbert363]

Jayne Meadows was as big a pain in the ass as was Carol Burnett and Betsy Palmer for never shutting up when only allowed to give a one-word clue. Three real prima donnas who always wanted to be the centre of attention. Jayne's husband Steve Allen looked to be mortified and when Jayne looked over at him on a few occasions he never looked at her out of frustration. Even the lovely Alan Ludden was exasperated with her incessant yapping.

[@jacquelinebell6201]

How did Steve get away with Benny Goodman lol

[@nancyhowell4505]

Bug + Ringo = beetle Add other names as necessary. 🤷‍♀️

[@kristabrewer9363]

I am SO glad Steve won every game. I am so SICK of Jane Meadows! Alan has told her WAY too many times about her hands and she STILL does it!

[@audreymai2773]

You are sick of her? She is dead, ya know? Have some respect.

[@waldolydecker8118]

@@audreymai2773 - maybe she's dead too - from the neck up

It's too bad to hate on her with that smiling face. . Well - I'm sorry hand movements (seemingly) repulse you and thirteen (or twelve) others.. ...😬😬🤔😬😬😬 Everyone "Does" them; I know I do them, if i had to guess I'd wager you do too.. ...😐😬😬😬🤔😐😐 Jayne and her Younger Sister Audrey are Sorely Missed.

Doubt she came back

Lois was a cute girl

[@fineneighborhood]

The rules obviously don't apply to Jayne Meadows. She must have been a handful growing up.

[@byte01010101me]

She even came up with a new way of cheating I hadn't seen before. 19:04 She utters the beginnings of 3 different words while watching her teammate's face for a positive response - "cooorr.....barrrr.....criiii...." The 1st 2 i guess were corn and barley...I can't guess the 3rd.

[@m.e.d.7997]

[@nelsonricardo3729]

You’re thinking Scotch Plains maybe.

[@waldolydecker8118]

Nope, been in New York since its incorporation

[@kentetalman9008]

It's in Westchester County, north of NYC.

[@Charlotte-wp9rf]

[@kenbrown438]

Beatles is spelled "B E A T L E" !!!! Not , beetle !!!!

[@jools01]

so, what? they never asked them to spell it. More people would get beetle if you said things relating to the band than the insect

[@rossdelain1645]

Beatles counts as a specific person, when they select words for the Lightning Round they stick to Adjectives or Nouns and Beetle counts as a Noun.

[@elliebellie7816]

Jayne is so annoying. Always "on".
