Earl Holliman's Winner's Circle reaction is priceless! And I've always enjoyed the way he wished his civilian partners on "Pyramid" good luck, especially with a handshake. Very decent and genuine.

My favorite all-time game show. It required concentration and quiet, two things that are sorely lacking from today's game shows (with the exception of "Jeopardy!"). The Winner's Circle showcased some of the brightest players and celebrities (Earl Holliman, Shelley Smith, Nipsy Russell). Today, it's all hysteria and hype.
I loved those guys!! My other faves were Richard Klein (no better clue for "sacrificed" than "a Biblical lamb"), Jamie Farr, LeVar Burton, Vickie Lawrence, Charlie Siebert, Betty White, and a couple of others that I can see but can't remember their names! But when they were on it, they were on it!
@usanatv2007sentertainmentinc. Yes, the questions/answers are "good" (an argument can be made that the difficulty of the questions has also been reduced) but the MC is a joke. It's about as bad as Drew Carey leading "The Price Is Right".
@usanatv2007sentertainmentinc. Hell? Please. Barker is superior in every way. Drew should have stayed on his sitcom and/or "Whose Line..." He has virtually no charm that his predecessor had.
The Winner's Circle is the best bonus round in TV game shows. And on the $25k Pyramid, the celebrities, while they may not have been the biggest stars, were almost universally excellent players and had a true love for the game and were genuinely thrilled when their contestants won.
Earl Holliman Star of Western Films and best known for playing Police Sgt. Bill Crowley on Police Woman with Angie Dickinson He's AWESOME in the Winner's Circle God Bless This Man
Earl: Barbra Streisand's nose... Contestant: Things that are large... things that are obtrusive... Barbra would've popped her cork if she had seen this! 😂
Absolutely!! Whether a contestant screams like a schoolgirl, cries tears of joy, or picks the host up off of his feet in excitement, it should always be shown in full candor... ;-)
@@oldiesmusic76 As much as I love Bob, it was time for him to retire (and he's almost 100 now). But they should have picked someone to host who had a true love for TPIR and brought the same sense of tension and fun Bob did.
Especially since "stick out" means the same thing. She essentially got that right, but she didn't use the proper word. Luckily she kept going instead of trying something else.
@@guyfierimtwiwhoever was in the giving chair was allowed to move their head. You are correct they couldn’t do any other gestures. That’s why they had a strap for their hands. During their visually impaired week, the celebrity would say “uh-huh” for obvious reasons.
Earl is 93, nice to know some are still with us. Get rid of today’s host, ask some like Earl to play again. Hell, have the big winners from Dick Clarke’s time play again, with their Celebrities if still here. I switch from this to The Veggie Boys. They are 6th generation farmers in N.E. Pa. With a Farm Market-Truly field to table. We need to support our Farmers,please give them a look.
Holliman completely ran out of clues on the last category. She was dancing all around the word, and he was desperate for her to get it. Glad she finally did.
This game show is one of my favorites. Other game show favorites of mine include: *Wheel Of Fortune* (1980s - 1990s) *Jeopardy!* (1980s - 1990s) *Press Your Luck* (1980s) *Scrabble* (1980s) *The Price Is Right* (1980s - 1990s)
Hi...your close "Things That Protrude" was a category used in a $100,000 tournament win but wasn't the top category (was the $250 box). And the contestant name was Denise who ironically got into the tournament with the help of Earl Holliman
What was the technical messup which brought Kelly back during the last week of the $25k Pyramid's run (which she would end up as the all time winner on the daytime version)?
There is no way anybody on the recent versions of Pyramid could get "protrude." The celebrity wouldn't know what it means and neither would the contestant. The Dick Clark version of this show just attracted much more intelligent people all around.
Man..they REALLY reused answers A LOT. This is a case like Price is right where an avid viewer of the show would have an advantage from watching a lot. Protrude is a hard word to come up with, but if you watch enough, you would see that come up as an answer a couple times a season. So you might think of it.
The greatest TV word game bar none. Betty White as much as she loved Password was in love with Pyramid.

I agree. His excitement for the guest is overwhelming. Great guy.
He has great hair and a great laugh

Two years later, Jeopardy has been watered down for sure. It's a sad time to actually learn.

Earl Holliman was always wonderful a real NICE guy
Fabulous game show. And Dick Clark was perfection too. It was nice to see them holding hands before the game started. ❤️
he was hardly perfect, did you miss all the times he would SCREAM "hurry, hurry" when they were in the winner's circle

Still exciting decades later. What a creation. Best game show ever.
Definitely in the top five best 1970s game shows!

He's AWESOME in the Winner's Circle
God Bless This Man
Wish this show was still on! Love it!
It is! *"The $100,000 Pyramid"* with Michael Strahan comes on ABC in the summer... Been back for about 5 years, now. 🙂
Love the hand straps to help remind the clue giver not to use gestures 🤣
This is my favorite game show of all time. And it's for moments like this.
Earl: Barbra Streisand's nose...
Contestant: Things that are large... things that are obtrusive...
Barbra would've popped her cork if she had seen this!
😂
Who wouldn't thunk It. Lol.😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
I thought Earl was gonna flip his chair at the end.
Heck I almost flipped out of MY chair when she said the answer 🤣🤣
Cannot believe she got Things That Protrude. Great clues Earl.
Just for the record, he says "a BRAT kid's tongue".
For just a sec I thought he said "Brad Pitt's Tongue" :)
@@ccie12933 funny!
That's what's missing from a lot of game shows today, taking a full minute to watch the winner's reaction. Yes, TPIR, I'm talking about you.
Absolutely!! Whether a contestant screams like a schoolgirl, cries tears of joy, or picks the host up off of his feet in excitement, it should always be shown in full candor... ;-)
Thanks to Drew Carey, things have gone downhill there. Bring back BOB!
@@oldiesmusic76 indeed. Bob would let them do their thing for about a minute before talking to them right before commercial.
@@oldiesmusic76 As much as I love Bob, it was time for him to retire (and he's almost 100 now). But they should have picked someone to host who had a true love for TPIR and brought the same sense of tension and fun Bob did.

1:37- Thought that lady was gonna have a heart attack
PROTRUDE? WOW, tough word
Especially since "stick out" means the same thing. She essentially got that right, but she didn't use the proper word. Luckily she kept going instead of trying something else.
A broken bone, a splitting headache,
@@SarahB1863 Why is he allowed to nod his head if you're banned from using gestures? If they got the clues right that's fine to confirm, but still...
@@guyfierimtwiwhoever was in the giving chair was allowed to move their head. You are correct they couldn’t do any other gestures. That’s why they had a strap for their hands. During their visually impaired week, the celebrity would say “uh-huh” for obvious reasons.

I'm sure Barbra Streisand didn't appreciate that.
Trina Dee Yep
Paul LaRue You know it!
Trina Dee I guess Earl Holloman mentioned that singer's nose. I wouldn't be saying that stuff.
To hell with her! And I’m pretty sure she’s mad at Howard Stern for saying her nose looks like a penis 😆
She nose it's her trademark
This is the first time I realized they have a band that goes over the clue giver's hands to remind them not to use them!
That last one was very hard, but he did so well on the other categories that he had enough time to get it.
Great clues!
Talk about a killer of a top box...
Babs is fuming!
Holliman completely ran out of clues on the last category. She was dancing all around the word, and he was desperate for her to get it. Glad she finally did.
That was wonderful!
Barbara Streisand Nose! LOL! GOD Bless Her.

05/31/24 - Earl Holliman still with us at 95 years old
That's the same word that Donna won $100,000 won with on the nighttime show in 1986.
Hi...your close "Things That Protrude" was a category used in a $100,000 tournament win but wasn't the top category (was the $250 box). And the contestant name was Denise who ironically got into the tournament with the help of Earl Holliman
For Things That Protrude, i would have said a sore thumb
Earl Holliman is 93 years old.
What was the technical messup which brought Kelly back during the last week of the $25k Pyramid's run (which she would end up as the all time winner on the daytime version)?
Amazing she won that - it's obvious with THINGS THAT PROTRUDE, Bob Stewart did not want that $25,000 won.
Amazing
There is no way anybody on the recent versions of Pyramid could get "protrude." The celebrity wouldn't know what it means and neither would the contestant. The Dick Clark version of this show just attracted much more intelligent people all around.
THAT PART
In the old days of the show, the celebrities gave the clues. These days, the contestant gives them.
Because celebrities today are dumb af.
Barbara streisand’s nose hahahhaa
1:29, $25,000!!
Columbia TriStar television and Bob Stewart productions
Respect...The dead.
Protrude is such a rately used word, that today very few people would guess it.
This wasn't a photo op for celebs, who needed to play well to win for their fans. Such a great social equalizer.
"rough" : third category of $25,000 board
"coarse": top category of $100,000 board
humourous Vulgarity
Is that the women who became the daytime Pyramid's biggest winner?
0:27
Is that Arsenio-style hooting?
Arsenio didnt start until 1989, so... lol
Love love love this show! I miss it. The remake is not as good by any means.
The Nighttime version never seen a $25,000 win, but the daytime show continued to have them.
i disagree nathan cook gave away 25,000 on the 100,000 pyramid i think their 3rd week on the air
@@mixon270 I mean the PM version stopped giving $25,000 after just prior to Traci's $100,000 win.
"Things that Protrude"??? Wow, Bob Stewart REALLY did not want them to win that one.
Because it's Christmas
BOOP! BOOP! BOOP! BOOP! Peace.
3 seconds left?
Poor Babs lol
Wow 3 seconds left.
PROTRUDE's a tough word, right Richard Hernandez?
You can tell she was trying to think of that word...
She deserved that money. I read a lot, and I didn't know the word protrude.
Man..they REALLY reused answers A LOT. This is a case like Price is right where an avid viewer of the show would have an advantage from watching a lot. Protrude is a hard word to come up with, but if you watch enough, you would see that come up as an answer a couple times a season. So you might think of it.
I can’t believe she came up with protrude. That was incredible
I’m surprised they didn’t accept when she said protrusive several seconds earlier. It’s a variation of the same word.
Hey guys, could you imagine if Earl Holliman gave away $100,000 on Pyramid?
No, not really.
Protrude is no fucking joke.
"Earl Holliman personally will answer all the mail from pregnant women and Barbra Streisand." ROFL
It's famous
Did he say 'a black kid's tongue?' For the protrude category ?
He said a BRAT KID'S TONGUE. Not a black kid. LOL
Brat is what he said
