Even though The Object Is lasted only 13 weeks, it showed that Dick Clark was an outstanding host. But the best was yet to come when he took over Missing Links from Ed McMahon after the show moved from NBC to ABC and had bigger success when The $10,000 Pyramid in 1973. It kept him in the public eye after the network cut American Bandstand to only once a week.
Stubby Kaye emceed a children's game show in "Shenanigans". The Ocean Spray cranberry juice spot is v'o'ed by Mandel Kramer. This show is a cross between the classic games "Password" and "You Don't Say". The end game resembles the 1950s classic game "Two For The Money" (1952-56).
Besides, Rice-A-Roni was one of "AMERICAN BANDSTAND's" rotating sponsors in the late '50s. Dick Clark remembered someone from the ad agency representing Golden Grain (the makers of Rice-A-Roni) bringing a pot of it to the studio so Dick could do a live commercial, and "taste it". Afterwards, he offered it to the kids, and they gobbled it all up.
Perhaps Dick Clark wanted copies of every show he ever made? Other than the Bandstand run from Philly, where only a very few episodes survived, I think this might be true. Most of his Beechnut Saturday night shows survived. I'm guessing all of the LA episodes of Bandstand survived. And now that dear ol' Dick is dead, the legal beagles at dcp have better things to do than have tired old 50 year ancient kinnies pulled off of TH-cam.
Comparing this episode to the other posted episode from 3/6/64, it seems that the format changed in the last month to reduce number of contestants & celebrities from 3 to 2. I think the ABC show that Stubby Kaye was signed to host was the Saturday morning kids game show Shenanigans.

The next Monday Dick Clark took over the Goodson-Todman game show MISSING LINKS, which NBC cancelled the next day. NBC had it in color hosted by Ed McMahon. NBC replaced it that same Monday with a 10-year hit which has run close to 40 years now in syndication: JEOPARDY!

According to some sites, 1964 $1.00 would be equal to $9.33 in 2022. So $45,000 in 1964 would be $419,850. From that perspective producers couldn’t properly be described as tightwads, IMO.
If you look CLOSE, you will notice that I did not say $45,000. I said $45.00, as in just FORTY-FIVE DOLLARS. Learn how to read before you reply.@@gwenniegirl50
@@davidbrown-xk8zl thanks pointing out my error. I stand corrected. I didn’t have my reading specs nearby. Still, that $45.00 would be $419.85 in 2022. Again, not a paltry sum.

Mandel Kramer is the announcer in the Ocean Spray ad.
Fab Rare Gem!
Thanks so much!
Dig The Concept of The Show!
It also reminds me a bit of "You Don't Say!"

These "objects" make me feel so young!
I have never seen this show before or heard of it.
Could this have been the first references, or one of the first, to Rice a Roni on a game show.
26:35 Legendary announcer John Harlan.
The announcer is ABC staff announcer Mike Laurence, not John Harlan
Wow! A 60s game show with sponsored products that are still around today! lol
Zack...Rice-A-Roni had been on the market since 1958

Joan Caulfield & Stubby Kaye are the guest celebrities. Mike Laurence is the announcer.

From what I've been told, the format changed on March 16, so it was really only around for two weeks.
LOVED Shenanigans!!!
How does Nola feel about her name becoming an acronym for a city?
What are the rules for clues? This seems like only a slight variation on password.
Who is Ben Terpin?

Dick Clark hosted a few game shows, like "$25,000 Pyramid".

He hosted the $10,000 when it was CBS then ABC picked up the show and increased it to $20,000 until they cancel in 1980.
Dick Clark hosted this show and "The $25,000 Pyramid".
This must have been a precursor to PASSWORD.
I was just thinking the same thing.
Definitely AFTER Password - that began in 61
Is this the only game show Dick before his legendary Pyramid in 1973?
This and "Missing Links" are the lone games Dick Clark hosted between "American Bandstand" and the "$10,000 Pyramid".
