Super Password: AMAZING one clue puzzle guesses!

Can you guess the puzzle with only one clue?

[@stargate121]

Who is the fox who guessed "Cheers"?

[@chasrusso]

I loved how Bert Convy would get legitimately excited about those kind of wins.

[@VengefulKBM]

Amazingly, "A Chorus Line" was the first thing I thought of when I watched this just now.

[@harrypotteravenclaw]

Exactly, all about context.

[@Paulywint]

Too bad the contestant didn't get a bonus by guessing on the first clue.

[@bluebear1985]

I think "One" was from the Broadway show "A Chorus Line", which was a popular revival at the time. As for the other one, Gorgeous George was the name of a popular wrestler in the 50s and 60s.

[@Quartzquiz]

@ChrisZaney Revival nothing! The ORIGINAL Broadway production was still running when this episode was taped! The musical ran until 1990, and was at the time the longest running Broadway musical in history!

[@njboricuaparati]

Oh man you had every one except for the best of all time. The famous Dick Clark incident. The first clue was "youthful" and the contestant guessed Dick Clark and it happened to be the answer to the puzzle. That was classic. You gotta post that one!

[@bigweezey]

I love how that guy put out his finger to show that he was number one then

[@iscrmoal]

I"ve been listening to the sound track to " A Chourus line" all week and totally guessed it too! Favority Musical!

[@wmlfan9]

"One" is a famous song from a famous musical ("A Chorus Line"). If the contestant happens to be a Broadway fan, it's actually not a surprising answer.

[@charlesallan-ks6gq]

Could have been 3 dog night

[@bluebear1985]

There was one time where a contestant got two puzzles in a row on the first clue. First, he guessed "tobacco" from "chewing", and then on the next puzzle, his partner guessed "pizza" from "Italian".

[@bluebear1985]

There was one clip where "well" was the only clue, and Pat Sajak correctly guessed "Jack Benny". They had to take it back because they thought Bert said the clue too much like Jack Benny.

[@38ddkelly]

P-Sazz???

[@graperonto]

I thought that P-Sazz was the funniest. The celebrity saying "BEEEEA-UTIFUL!" was priceless.

[@bluebear1985]

I've seen that too. First he guessed "tobacco" when the only clue was "chewing". Right after that, his partner guessed "pizza" with the only clue being "Italian".

[@ghoohg551]

I guessed batman too hahahahaha

[@jstrahan2]

2:10 Only a woman or a gay man would get this one.

[@Here_Come_The_Sixers]

when he said zero I would have said uno

[@Tubewings]

Actually, Cheers had been a Top 10 hit for several years by the time that particular episode of "Super Password" aired. I'd say it had definitely caught on by that point.

[@supergamer7473]

@tryithere I wish you people would stop saying stuff like this. You KNOW it's NOT fixed, it's illegal and producers go through a lot to make sure of it.

[@graperonto]

My favourite memory of a one clue puzzle... Jamie Farr had "SINGER" as his only clue. And he guessed "SEWING MACHINE" and that was the correct answer! I think that was in the Password Plus days with Allen Ludden. Anyone else remember that one?

[@TehJew22]

Wow! :D

[@darrinbaker00]

Did Bert Convy have the best White Guy Afro ever, or did Bert Convy have the best White Guy Afro ever?

[@charlesallan-ks6gq]

Who was Alex Trebek, Bob Ross ,or Don Henley

[@barber215]

@ChrisZaney yeah, ur right. i compared them. but it does kinda look like him though. or at least it did haha

[@SirTragain]

How the hell did she get Cheers from "Long" with a clue of Short???

[@muscled57]

I think her name was Tonya Crowe who played Donna Mills daughter Olivia on Knots Landing.

[@LuisHernandez-hw7dj]

One......Is it Metallica?

[@PalCatIN]

@ChrisZaney Yeah, the first time I saw this clip, I thought the same thing he did. It's the only thing that came to my mind. Anyone who knows that show would think that. :)

[@disneydanny2]

@ChrisZaney yeah that's right up there w/ another video i've seen where one team got the first 2 puzzles in a game w/ only one guess i'm surprised that's not in this video

[@burr1aj]

if they use this format in the new MDP you should get a cash bonus for doing that.

[@disneydanny2]

@ChrisZaney actually the original production was still playiong at that time.

[@barber215]

@ChrisZaney i kinda thought no. but it kinda does look like him at first

[@jehobden]

You are correct. She just appeared that one week in 1988.

[@stargate121]

Does that dude in the striped shirt look like Ozzy, or what?

[@antster1983]

Shelley Long played Diane Chambers in Cheers. :o)

[@namk19]

@CraigFoye80 not strange. best name ever!

[@DarthTaz]

POW could be a prisoner of war and refer to any war / war camp

[@supersaver87]

From Shelly Long. She was on Cheers for the early seasons.

[@zacheryalderton826]

NBC

[@tryithere]

Half the time I thought this game was fixed

[@TamalaHaleCena]

wow, i could have never guessed any of it.

[@Tubewings]

My guess would be eighteen.

[@sshuffield70]

@darrinbaker00 Actually, on that I say Trebek.

[@musichalloffame]

Clue: "How many clues you need to answer this puzzle" Answer: ONE! (yes, I know that can't be a clue but it's a joke)

[@smpage09]

does anyone else love that win music?

[@TheDancingCookie]

Brilliant guesses. That P-sazz guy is a hoot - and so cute!

[@MissAmber520]

LOL Marty's hair is priceless :)

[@Dodgerfn5]

I got "Batman" but not even close to any of the others, Wow!

[@landrykkb]

I can honestly say that I'd have never gotten Cheers out of Long nor A Chorus Line out of one because I never watched A Chorus Line & Long could mean any number of things.Cheers wasn't even a huge ratings sensaþion around the time this aired on NBC,although it was starting to catch on.

[@blozier2006]

Hmm, I'm a little curious about that one myself! Please do tell, whoever knows!

[@Branddenthepinkgoldpeachfan]

0:17 *$700* 2:15 *Yeah! $800*

[@CraigFoye80]

P-Sazz??? That's a strange name!

[@dagwood39]

@stargate121 I thought that to

[@disvids8754]

None can match Saturday : Chevy Chase Who's the last lady celeb? One : chorus line happened once more, but that wasn't the correct puzzle answer. It would be nice to know which episode came first

[@TommygunNG]

Last lady celeb was the late Anne Meara.

[@kidshady45]

His name is P-Sazz SWAG!

[@zacheryalderton826]

He had fun

[@paullarue2010]

Perfect!

[@eisaalhosani309]

Cheese

[@Quartzquiz]

Not even a revival. The original was STILL RUNNING on Broadway until 1990! Held the record for longest running Broadway show until CATS broke it (PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is the current record holder.)

[@HotbunsLalla]

i'm not too sure on the rules, so forgive me, but how on earth can u guess 'cheers' from 'long'? i don't understand the connection AT ALL, and when she answers she seems so confident.

[@Wupar]

The guys on the other side of the table must get pretty pissed at people who can pull off that sort of thing. XD

[@MountainHawkPYL]

I got 2/4: "Gorgeous" and "Pow"

[@darrinbaker00]

@sshuffield70 Nobody, black, white or otherwise, had a better Afro/porn 'stache combo than Alex Trebek.

[@WrestlingHeretic]

Yep. I also guessed Batman for Pow and A Chorus Line for One. Honest. But then, if you know in advance that they will be getting it on one clue, then your mind kind of goes to this question: "Okay, what is the only thing that 'Pow' could be that could be guessed in one guess? Well, I remember those POW moments on Batman." And "What can you get from 'One' by itself? Well, by itself, it's a song title." I didn't guess George or Cheers, however.

[@jpmackey1607]

How did they do that?!?! 😮

[@tvtimetravel]

Bert Convy was once a member of a 50's-60s singing group called The Cheers.

[@rangerdave1973]

Who's the actress on the first one?

[@Margann1987]

Tonya Crowe. She was on "Knots Landing."

[@CrunchyTofu]

Her mouth at 1:55!

[@bretstanley8931]

I must say, I've never heard of anyone named P-Sazz!

[@Padfoot934]

Wow didn't get that. Didn't even get 'long' from short. I'd have said tall...

[@barber215]

is the contestant in the last one Marty Jannetty??? it looks a lot like him.

[@DBR00]

I always loved the cue they played when a game was won.

[@DarthTaz]

The clue that was given to Betty was nocturnal... owl is a nocturnal

[@wschmrdr]

Marty... now THAT is a mullet!

[@eisaalhosani309]

Shot long yay

[@paullarue2010]

P-Sazz is a fantastic name.

[@tucsonia]

Ha! I got the Pow = Batman one.

[@bluebear1985]

There was one case where a player guessed it on one clue 2 puzzles in a row! First of all, he guessed "tobacco" with the only clue being "chewing". Secondly, he guessed "pizza" with his only clue being "Italian".

[@FountainOFun]

How did she think of "cheers" from only "long"?

[@Margann1987]

Shelley Long

[@lovec0]

WTF LUCKY GUESS!

[@paullarue2010]

I believe "Cheers" was on NBC.

[@paullarue2010]

"Super Password" was on NBC Daytime, and "Cheers" was also on NBC, but a Prime Time sitcom.

[@bluebear1985]

There was one case of two one-clue guesses in a row. For the first puzzle, with only "chewing" showing, the contestant correctly guessed "tobacco". On the next puzzle, his partner guessed "pizza" with only "Italian" showing.

[@DonellChester]

I do

[@Gmaspoiledbrat]

The Batman puzzle was easy. And A Chorus Line puzzle made sense like Burt said.

[@siminyazdani2652]

BERT. ,,,,,. YOU. BE HOST. ONLY

[@siminyazdani2652]

Wow. So fast. Answer

[@denelson83]

"Is it 'Westboro Baptist Church'?

[@siminyazdani2652]

SO. smarts.

[@blozier2006]

18

[@sgtforge21]

how do you get a chorus line out of one?

[@Tubewings]

"One" is the signature song of that particular musical.

[@WingsOfDay]

That's the greatest one word solve in Password history. "one" could have be ANYTHING and Chorus Line wasn't even out that year of show (or a revival).

[@jeffkilledjohnny]

The Batman was easy.!
