Betsy was so lovely and such a doll to her fans. So dearly missed

[@lynnturman8157]

Why does she incessantly chatter while Allen is talking to the audience between clues? Irritating.

[@KristaBrewer-rq7mo]

@@lynnturman8157 Every time she's been on (but the last time inparticular), Allen has told her TWICE (that I'm aware of), to just provide the clue because of her constant talking. I could tell from other times she's been too and from what Allen says that he's not fond of her and yet he STILL keeps having her back :(

[@barnhorst1]

I was thrilled to find this old episode! That’s my mom partnered with Betsy starting at 9:04. Times have changed. Can’t believe when Betsy didn’t know the word HUDDLE she said, “Girls aren’t supposed to know that!”.

[@verity3616]

Were you the three year old she mentioned? Did your family watch this episode at home when it came out?

[@anglophils645]

I think she was just trying to be nice to your mom. Your mom was trying to give the clue of "Hut!" which the quarterback yells when he's ready for the ball, after the huddle. Your mom said "Hep!" which made no sense---she clearly was not a football fan. So Betsy said, "Well ladies aren't expected to know that".

[@elspethcoogan1499]

Frank Gifford was a dreamboat.

[@balconi89]

I LOVE Betsy!

[@tmmartinesq.6216]

24?

[@KristaBrewer-rq7mo]

Allen sure didn't (you could tell that clearly from ALL the episodes she's been on, but especially that LAST one. She kept talking and talking about nothing and he's even had to tell her two different times "Just provide the clue."

[@BillyAlabama]

Betsy was truly brilliant but always on the edge of zany. Her normal conversation sends me into gales of laughter. Such a delight!

[@KristaBrewer-rq7mo]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (ok)

[@kentetalman9008]

Would love to have seen Betsy in "South Pacific". She must have been great.

[@JJJBRICE]

People noting that only knowing Betsy Palmer from the Friday the 13th moviies is comparable to only knowing Betty White from the TV series The Golden Girls . The two ladies did many things before .

[@timothywills7709]

Frank Gifford on a roll!

[@NeighborofKT]

I always wondered what Betsy Palmer did…other than appear on game shows.

[@theresaholguin699]

KT's Neighbor Betsy was in the movies of Jason Voorhee. She played Jason's mother

[@NeighborofKT]

@@theresaholguin699 Betsy Palmer appeared on games shows way before that. I’m talking about when I was a kid in the 50s and 60s.

23:42 A reference to Y.A. Tittle, a bald football player.

[@XXthekingofyouXX]

Who would've guessed such a bubbly cutie like Betsy would give birth to Jason Vorhees.

[@JJJBRICE]

I have made comments on other You Tube videos how I feel about Betsy Palmer . Frank Giffords appearance on this show was surprising given the fact that he played in that tough and disapointing loss to the Chicago Bears in the NFL Championship game the week before on Dec 29 1963. Gifford scored the Giants only touchdown . Gifford also shows no sign of the brain injury , then unknown that effected many football players . Also another historical perspective Ms Kathy Lee was a nine year old little girl at this time .

[@lucyflorey9152]

Fuz for police was common later especially in police dramas and comedies...just a little early here

[@marycook1644]

I was surprised Allen had never heard the term before. I was born in 1954, l remember it being used when I was a kid. Especially with civil unrest then.

Like the show but too many commercials. Would rather watch What's my line which is commercial free.

[@sandy3482]

Frank Gifford is the only player in NFL history to make the pro bowl at 3 different positions, defense back. running back and wide receiver. He was a pretty good passer to, in his career he completed 29 passes 14 for TD's that that tom brady

[@faithfulforever6331]

Wow, I love Tom Nutt's haircut. It would look great even today.

[@balconi89]

It's interesting to hear the slang for cop. I wonder if that was a common thing on the show, for somebody trying to use slang and regionally it differed.

[@darkshadowman1266]

Pretty sure they meant the element.

[@ItsFazsha]

Why didn't they just say "penny"?

[@loissimmons6558]

"Fuzz" would become a derogatory term for police used by the Baby Boomers, only slightly nicer than "pigs".

[@calliopivogiatzis2235]

I wonder if the childrens'songwriter wrote any songs for "Sesame Street "

[@lynnturman8157]

Back then there were only 24 letters in the alphab.

[@faithfulforever6331]

Well I was in school in 1964 and I certainly learned 26 letters.

[@marycook1644]

@@faithfulforever6331 Obviously Betsy went to a different school !! 🌼

[@anglophils645]

(There are 26 letters in our alphabet, of course).

That's some rough camera work at 3:48

Was Feather Indigenous?

[@teeniebeenie8774]

password only lasted 3 and half years? seems like it could have run 4 ever.

[@stephenhowardjr8969]

No. This show has lasted for 62 years now on and off television in 6 different incarnations.

[@halfdome5705]

This was a prime-time episode. CBS aired Password on one weeknight for 3 years.

[@poetcomic1]

Frank Gifford was VERY good looking. Johnny Carson came home early and discovered his wife's 'shrine' to her love Frank Gifford and it ended their marriage.

[@waldolydecker8118]

Carson was already separated and his wife was living in a separate NYC Apt. Carson heard rumors about Gifford and when he knew his wife would not be home, he took his attorney ( Bushkin), and two armed pals (one with Mob ties), and the four of them BROKE into his wife's apt, discovering Gifford's clothes and belongings inside. Carson used the evidence in his divorce proceedings. Bushkin has written and told the story in interviews. This occurred shortly after Carson took over 'Tonight'....year 2 or 3. Carson's apartment break-in was similar to one conducted a decade earlier in 1954 California by Joe DiMaggio, his buddy Frank Sinatra, and their LA Sunset Strip thug associates who were trying to catch Marilyn Monroe in an LA apartment with a lover. Jealous ex-husband DiMaggio wanted revenge after his recent divorce and had hired a man to tail Monroe. In the dark of night, DiMaggio and his pals used a fire ax to chop down the apartment door where they were tipped Monroe with a lover, but the buffoons busted into the wrong apartment; that of 39 year old secretary Florence Kotz. The perps escaped and were not identified by Kotz in the dark of night, but they were outed by 'Confidential' magazine three years later when one of the perps snitched after DiMaggio refused to pay his henchmen because they gave him the wrong apartment number. Ms Kotz sued DiMaggio, Sinatra, and their co-defendants and settled out of court for a relatively small amount. Classy times.

[@KristaBrewer-rq7mo]

GREAT! look who's on :( I can tell from previous episodes (the last one, especially) when Allen has had to tell her, not once, but TWICE to "Just give the clue" that he doesn't care for her, and yet he CONTINUES to have her back :( She never SHUTS UP (although I'll admit, she wasn't nearly as annoying as she usually is)

[@loissimmons6558]

Frank Gifford's forecast for the Giants' 1964 season was understandably optimistic. After all, they had won three straight division titles and he was talking about his own team. But the Giants made some terrible moves in the off season (including trading away middle linebacker Sam Huff) and the team got old at other positions. The only reason to watch out for the Giants in 1964 was to see them falling from the top to the bottom of the division with a 2-10-2 record (far behind the sixth place Pittsburgh Steelers who were 5-9).

[@kevinvanmeter2264]

@Christopher Bingham 1964 Would be Gifford's last season with the Giants. He went into Broadcasting.

[@waldolydecker8118]

@Christopher Bingham - Gifford was making the standard politically correct comment about his team and teammates...what else is he suppose to say on national TV? A seasoned vet like him knew the real situation, without a doubt.

[@sandy3482]

but that terrible year wasn't Franks fault

[@kevinmadden1645]

Only three winning seasons in the next twenty. The incompetence of the Maras was in full display..

Betsy's funny and sweet, but she's not very good at Password.

[@KristaBrewer-rq7mo]

she's not funny and sweet either!

[@theresaholguin699]

I can't believe that Betsy got away with so much gesturing to her partner... In another show she was worse in cheating..

[@mysky]

Sometimes Betsy can be annoying.

[@BrooklynArch]

mysky, Too me she made the show more humorous and 'Lively' same with Allen too of-course!

[@kristabrewer9363]

Not only annoying, but I said before she was a bit ditzy..... (but she IS pretty)

[@teeniebeenie8774]

that voice !

[@elspethcoogan1499]

mysky Betsy brought a breath of fresh air to what could sometimes be a stale format.

[@waldolydecker8118]

Lets just be honest...she was good looking, but an annoying ditz on this show...always talking relative to the words at hand, which was unfair to those losing because her comments and gestures aided the loss - sometimes, 22:20 her comments across the table would even hurt her own partner. "You know she almost said it" Geez
