My dad (Lee Vines) was the announcer for this show.

[@minecraftingmom]

I love when he finds the passwords funny and laughs a little as he reads them.

Elizabeth Cember Sometimes Allen would narrow and look out of the corner of his eyes (an almost lecherous look) when he doubted the logic of an answer.

[@lynnturman8157]

Did he walk around whispering all the time?

sorry i wasn;t born yet when he was doing the shows but ive seen the eposides on GSN and Buzzer your dad did a great job

[@loissimmons6558]

When Betty said that she thought one word and said another, what a perfect opening for Allen to say "I know: for a year you meant to say yes, but said no!" (To Allen's marriage proposals)

What Betty White has seen in televisual evolution since she went from Radio to TV is phenomenal. Clumpy cables, heavy equipment, then color tv, video, live satellite feeds, dvd's, youtube & streaming on ones computer. She has watched all of that unfold.

What’s funny is that Betty and George Grizzard worked together years later on the Golden Girls. George played Blanch’s deceased husband George and George’s brother Jamie.

[@johnphillips5081]

I was only 10 years old at that time which seems to just be a few years ago. To think that Betty is almost 100 years old, and still looking good, and going strong 💪. How time flies!!!

[@pamhi7633]

Most people just saw Allen Ludden.Only saw him on Password. He did parts on other shows like Love boat. He died much to young.

[@XXthekingofyouXX]

Pam Hi - and Match Game! He was adorably out-of-place at times as it was more of Betty's crowd on that show.

[@BarbaraJohnson-dl1gf]

I agree with that 💯 👍 👌 😢😢

[@JF32304]

She was 45 here. She aged so beautifully! Goodness!

[@tonyhughes110]

Interesting to me that George Grizzard would later guest star on "The Golden Girls" on two different occasions, some 20 years later. He played Blanche's late husband George (who apparently faked his death, only to find out it's all in Blanche's dream) in one episode, and in another he played George's twin brother Jamie.

[@jolenaagapisou3803]

Tony Hughes - Yep, I remember both episodes - lol

[@VioletJoy]

Great observation. Very cool.

[@ttestates1]

He was in 2 great Twilight Zone episodes

[@WaltGekko]

And with my generation and those younger, he is best known for playing defense attorney Arthur Gold in the first few seasons of the original "Law & Order" on NBC.

[@tonyhughes110]

@@WaltGekko I also remember him in the role of the Governor (who shows up at the chaotic dinner party in the latter half of the film) in the Goldie Hawn/Chevy Chase/Charles Grodin flick "Seems Like Old Times." It's a small role but he's great in it. At one point in the dinner party there's absurd chaos going on all around him and he just sits there and says "notice how I remain calm? I do that because I'm the governor." He was a gem.

[@susanford2388]

What surprises me is Allen Ludden's wife of 18 years died of cancer in 1961 & he met Betty in that year & proposed the following year. Was he either unhappily married before or in a hurry to fill the gap his first wife had vacated.

Incidentally, *Allen Ludden* and *Betty White* were also married for *18* years, until his own death from cancer. She never remarried, saying that "when you've had the best, who needs the rest?"

[@VinMar-m6w]

@@susanford2388 She said this about those two previous marriages: "I've had two bad marriages, and I don't like to think of them as good mistakes. They were traumatizing to go through. But they did make me appreciate it when the perfect one came along."

[@bevn362]

Allen Ludden married Margaret McGloin on October 11, 1943. She died of cancer on October 30, 1961. They had a son, David, and two daughters, Martha and Sarah. Betty White and Allen met in 1961 on the set of his game show, Password, when she appeared as a guest. He proposed to Betty White at least twice before she accepted. In 1963, the couple tied the knot two years after meeting. Betty and Allen were married for 18 years until Ludden passed away from stomach cancer in 1981. Betty never remarried. When Anderson Cooper asked White in 2011 why she never remarried, she replied, "I had the love of my life. If you've had the best, who needs the rest?"

You know what I don't like about Betty? She's a good player, but I don't think I have EVER seen her say pass in the lightening round (I honestly think that if Allen never say, "Go the next word," she would go to the very end before saying it herself (even she she only had 100 points). I love Betty White, but that DOES drive me when she'd rather press on and try to get the word than win the game for the contestant

[@loissimmons6558]

It would destroy the game if the partners on a team learned that they knew the same foreign language and gave the translations as the clues. But in this episode, "achtung" is not a direct translation of attention, although it was used that way to get someone's attention (or at least that's what the movies and television shows portrayed). The direct translation of "achtung" is "danger".

[@sjb2471]

„Jein“ as the German say. “Attention” is the best generic translation of Achtung, from the verb “achten“ which means to pay attention. The best translation for danger is “Gefahr”, by the way.
