The Evolution Of The *Insert Money Value Here* Pyramid (1973 - 2022)

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

I Just Realized The Title Was Wrong (My Bad, It Was The Evolution Of The *Insert Money Value* Pyramid Here [1973 - 2022]). I Fixed It.

[@jamesgorski7551]

I think it aired in prime time.

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

it most likely did, i just didn't use those tho

[@erzaender]

what if it aired on buzzr?

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

Unless there's a method I'm unaware of, I don't think it's easy to record on a TV. Plus sadly I don't have Buzzr.

[@erzaender]

@@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now oh sorry

[@scoot1105]

I think you forgot that Bill Cullen also hosted the Pyramid. I think it was the 70's $25,000 version(1974 - 1979).

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

That's actually in my fail video (lol), i'll do the "alternate hosts" like daytime WOF and this. thanks for the info tho.

[@georgemaster9979]

@@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now That's the one that Buzzr should get, albeit owned by Sony.

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

Daytime WOF? (sorry for late reply, KZbin studios doesn't put new replies at the new comment thing)

[@GeorgeMaster-xg7lg]

A 1975 ep of Pyramid? Love it! After all I read that most of the 70s were destroyed or wiped.

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

Same thing happened to Fleming Jeopardy. Luckily, people saved some clips and posted them to yt. I linked the playlist with the full videos in the description.

[@jeannehall6546]

Bill Shatner switching back and forth in the chairs in the Winners Circle was yet another case of just how crazy he is! Having Bill Cullen and Lois Nettleton already seated at the top of the show was one of many ways of hiding the fact that Bill actually couldn’t walk! Seeing a very young Levar Burton was a treat- though I would have liked to have seen more of that show he was on with the blind contestants. I used to love Nathan Cook- he was so sweet! He passed away in 1988 of a severe reaction to penicillin- he was only 38 years old- so sad! Billy Chrystal’s record-setting Winners Circle round should have been shown- that record still stands (he cleared the board in 24 seconds!)! “The Pyramid” was also one of the last shows to be broadcast from New York (it later moved to California) until “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire”.

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

Wow, Wild William, poor bill, young berton, "Good Die Young" Nate, billy the winner, and NYC - CA. all very interesting facts. RIP to all the people that died, but thanks for the info!.

[@chrismc410]

Television City in Hollywood was and always will be Pyramid's true home. That's where it was born and lived the longest

[@chrismc410]

4:25. I thought the shaking trilon thing was done mostly on the $100K Pyramid

[@jeannehall6546]

Michael Dorn was on once. Seeing him without the Klingon makeup was a shock- he is drop-dead handsome in real life!

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

Yeah.

[@GCBlues45]

You forgot the $50,000 Pyramid hosted by Dick Clark that started the Tournament format. You also forgot the night time $25,000 hosted by Bill Cullen. You also forgot Dick Clark's $100,000 Pyramid.

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

I'll do a video in the future covering the evolution of those. thanks for the info though!

[@GeorgeMaster-xg7lg]

​@@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-NowThe 70s $25,000 show aired on WCBS,WNBC and WABC NYC.

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

Cool. Thanks for the info.

[@TheCharlesJLee1000]

I could remember the $25,000 bonus round/winner circle the lower tier was from $50, $100, $150. Second tier: $200 and $250, and top money tier $300 to the top of pyramid of $25,000.00 Pyramid. Under Donny Osmond era of Pyramid: $200, $200, $200. 2nd tier $300 $300 and top tier of pyramid of $500. But under the tournament of champions $100k format: $500, $1,000, $1,500. The second tier $2,000 and $2,500, and $5,000 towards the top of the pyramid of $100,000. The same as the nighttime Pyramid in Michael Strahan's era.

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

cool.

[@bluebear1985]

I still can't believe that Shatner played the winner's circle by himself, and still lost.😁

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

oof.

[@tomlemery8490]

It's amazing how much they used their hands and arms in the winner's circle back then.

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

They really freaked out!

[@devares2006]

It became illegal after the move to ABC.

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

@@devares2006 dang. That sucks. And that's one of the only good 60s episodes on yt.

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

Did you mean jeopardy? Cause when I saw ur comment earlier I thought it was from jeopardy. If not, what became illegal

[@tomlemery8490]

@@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now No, it's from Pyramid. You may notice how celebrities will use their hands less through the years when they reach the winner's circles. Dick is always reminding them not to use their hands.

[@misstee101]

Believe or not, I like Donny's version besides Strahan's version Oh heck I love em all

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

noice.

[@JayTemple]

Where did you get the 1975 clip? I haven't seen it before.

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

Look of the 10000 pyramid 1975. The should be the top video, but it's also linked in the playlist.

[@jaredjenkins4272]

@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now, I think that you forgot Junior Partner Pyramid and All Star Junior Partner Pyramid!

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

i didn't know about those, but, this is just for the base series, the one most people is familiar with. i may do a breakdown of the different versions of the show later.

[@GeorgeMaster-xg7lg]

Donny's version was the one I hated!

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

Yeah, the outlier in the history. IDK why they got rid of the number and changed the whole style of the show.

[@chrismc410]

Just simply saying "the Pyramid" would've sufficed.

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

In regards to what?

[@smittykins]

When did they enact the “No using your hands in the Winner’s Circle” rule?

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

tbh i have no idea, but there is a thread of comments talking about it on this video.

[@BetheasByteRELOADED]

​​@@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-NowI think that was instituted in 1983 during "The NEW $25,000 Pyramid"

@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now 2016.

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

2016 was the return of the show I recall. I think they transferred the rules over.

[@ColoradoOwl]

I liked the series from Dick Clark to John Davidson after that they completely dumbed it down kind of a reflection of how dumb we are getting as a "evolutionary species" Haven't watched it since 1991. Don't plan to either.

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

yea, people are a lot dumber then they were

[@judahdaneshtaol]

Love the bra-less 70s

[@BlackAndWhiteStudios2017-Now]

The 70s were good, yea.
