Hard to say. I’d think that the queen is Lucille Ball. Though Carol definitely should share the throne. 😊 The two of them together is just the greatest comedy ever.
@@julievanderleest I was thinking the same thing. Except that Carol Burnett and Lucille Ball would be in the same category. They're both the Queen of comedy (although I still prefer Vestal Goodman, who's the QUEEN of Gospel Music)!
@@KristaBrewer-rq7mo Vestal is certainly a legend but I admit, it’s hard to choose when it comes to gospel music. Sandy Patty is certainly up there. Put her with Larnell Harris and they bring the house down. There’s some mighty voices in the entire Homecoming group honestly. Nothing compares.
Absolutely love her! ❤ There was, a hoax in May that she died and I saw it on the computer. I was screaming, NO, NO, NO! I will cry a lot when she goes. She is such a talented, kind lady! ❤
Omg omg thank you so much for posting this episode .my whole life I've heard about my granny being on this show and after searching for years I finally got to see her on it made my day again thanks a mil

A few days after this broadcast, Carol Burnett sustained a neck injury in an NYC taxi. From Wikipedia's entry about "Fade Out - Fade In": "Burnett was sidelined due to a serious neck injury sustained in a taxi accident in July 1964. The production temporarily shut down for one week starting on July 27, 1964, then reopened with Betty Hutton in the lead. After recuperating, Burnett returned to the show, but left shortly afterwards to participate in The Entertainers, a television variety series her husband Joe Hamilton was producing for CBS. Burnett announced in October 1964 that she was leaving the show to have therapy, and the producers announced that they would try to find a replacement. Mitzie Welch went on for Burnett, but in November 1964 the producers announced that the show would close until Burnett was able to return.When the show's producers threatened a breach-of-contract lawsuit, Burnett returned on February 15, 1965. According to Steven Suskin, the show was then "a hard sell" and, also, during the hiatus, several other musicals had opened (Fiddler on the Roof and Golden Boy), and the show did not regain its momentum. Finally, the financial losses sustained during Burnett's two absences proved to be insurmountable, and the production closed.
I think Carol Burnett was looked upon a little disdainfully because of leaving the show to do The Entertainers (which was not a success) and she didn't go back to Broadway for decades.
I have loved Password and Allen Luden since I was old enough to watch and understand it. I was so excited when he and Betty White got married, they were a perfect couple.
Love how they ask the male contestant: "what do you do for a living?" . . . and the female contestant: "what does your husband do for a living?" A sign of the times.
Notice Allen King is smoking. I remember when they stopped advertising cigarettes. All the sudden there were none on tv or in magazines. Sure miss my Marlboro Man. I believe there were 3 of them. The first one passed away with lung cancer I think and maybe one of the others also. Carol had one of the best shows on. I have taped many of them.
I'm of the same era, our neighborhood had a huge billboard of the Marlboro-Man opposite of the main bus stop.. eventually most of the young people who did smoke cigarettes were smoking Marlboro's .
1:00 Carol talks about her Starring role in "Fade In Fade Out" on Broadway...a show the producers later sued her for breach of contract after she abruptly left the show to co-star in a short-lived TV variety show, "The Entertainers." The negative publicity from the legal fight destabilized the show's early strong momentum and its personnel roster, causing it to close, by all accounts, sooner than it would have. To a degree Burnett may have been following the example of co-star Tina Louise, who left the show three months earlier to work on CBS' 'Gilligan's Island." Her fifth appearance in a Broadway show would be Louise's last.
Haha! One of the funniest! I do feel like Michael was robbed a bit, though. Alan said five seconds and then suddenly the time was up. Carol was a huge distraction. She's too funny!
Before Carol gives the first clue for "snore", she tips the scales in her favor by asking about making a sound. It's so absurd--yet typical--that the players could "cheat" like this and get away with it. Allen may reprimand them, but they are never penalized, except for when they give a two-word clue.
Last night, I saw Sammy Davis Jr. And another black contestant, on a different episode; have forgotten who it was. My lousy memory.... I haven't watched Password a lot, yet, but I'm guessing that wasn't very common. (Edited to fix a typo)
Instead of asking the first female contestant, Gretchen, what keeps her busy (as he did the 2nd female) she is asked what her husband does?! SMH!! Even if she didn't have an outside job or studies, and she worked as a homemaker, she's a human being worth learning more about! This episode must have been at a time when women had no rights to apply for a loan without the signature of a father or husband.
That's not a misogynistic question at all. The contestants were pre-interviewed before the filming started & were asked about the more interesting aspects of their lives. She could have mentioned something she did, but she elected to talk about her husband's occupation instead. There's nothing wrong with that
so SICK of Allen with "watch those eyes" on EVERY episode he's on!!! and also Carol screems and on every episode she's on and she doesn't even SOUND like she means it, and she is VERY annoying. I like her as an actress and comedian, but she drives me NUTS on this show!
Gosh I love Carol
Carol Burnett IS THE QUEEN of Comedy!
she is angel from heaven...

I love carol she’s got the balance of class and goofiness it makes me comfy to be a tomboy 😌😅 she’s a legend 👂🏻👌🏻🧡
Carol was loud, mugging faces and laughs louder than anyone ever.... and she is adorable.
Absolutely love her! ❤ There was, a hoax in May that she died and I saw it on the computer. I was screaming, NO, NO, NO! I will cry a lot when she goes. She is such a talented, kind lady! ❤
Allen Ludden smooth host like John Daily and Bert Collier for those of us older folks.
Bert Collier?? You mean Bert CONVEY or BUD Collier
Nice catch Krista yes I did mean Bud Collier.
Carol's scream when she realizes the answer is "Fade" makes me burst out laughing, no matter how many times I watch.
I love it when the announcer can't talk without laughing
I saw "Fade Out-Fade In." I loved it and absolutely adored Carol Burnett then. So talented, so unassuming, and so genuine.
I think that Tina Louise was in that?
@@randysills4418 Yes, but the show was all Burnett, at least for me.
These were days!!!So much fun😊I am LMAO 😂😂😂😂
Omg omg thank you so much for posting this episode .my whole life I've heard about my granny being on this show and after searching for years I finally got to see her on it made my day again thanks a mil
Congratulations, lisalovely. I hope it was worth the wait.
lisalovely lady Congratulations! Which one is your granny?
I like the episodes with Carol Burnette and Alan King he's having fun 😀
well, one out the two isn't bad
Both Carol Burnett and Alan King were hilarious in this episode. They make the show a lot of fun to watch!! 😅👍
BURNETT WAS KILLING ME TOO!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
I love these shows! Nothing like it on TV these days.
I think game shows were so much more fun when there was less money involved. The players and celebs are just having a great time.
Money went farther then.
Ain't that the truth! 💖🥰
Interestingly it’s more than is thought. $1 in 1964 is today worth $8.85, adjusting for inflation, or nearly $4,500 if they won the $500 prize.
Goodness this is hilarious. I would have watched this show every night if I existed then.😂😂
It wasn't the best played game, but this was oh so fun to watch. When you get two comedians on the show it can be hilarious.
This show is hilarious today😅. The rivalry is so funny but good natured!
This beats any modern day game show since who wants to be a millionaire.
Wonder why Alan King wasn't on the Carol Burnett show more often. They were hilarious together.
Probably because he couldn't go a half hour without feeding his nicotine addiction.

Oh my gosh thank you! I saw this episode a couple years ago and I've been trying to find this one since then. You made my day!
Again So funny😊
alan is so suave, he makes smoking look good , lol
he was soo good on ed sullivan
They had clean fun. Need that now in 2022
Define "clean fun".
I have loved Password and Allen Luden since I was old enough to watch and understand it. I was so excited when he and Betty White got married, they were a perfect couple.
Cant believe Alan is smoking DURING the show! WoW!!🚬
Love how they ask the male contestant: "what do you do for a living?" . . . and the female contestant: "what does your husband do for a living?" A sign of the times.
Sometimes he would ask if the woman had a job
Carol makes me laugh purely with her eyes 😅 ah the frustration when they don’t guess correctly
Hello, I discovered password on TH-cam, and it's a good American television game from 60s and also discover Carol Burnette and Alan King.
And you identify with which country?
@@RingsLoreMaster Hello, I from Belgium
Now these games make me laugh😅💚💚👍

Carol was talking about Jack Cassidy❤❤❤
omg you know it's old when smoking was allowed in the studio! I noticed Alan King had a cigarette in his hand there.
Even well into the 70s...Charles Nelson Reilly often had a cigarette, pipe or cigar on Match Game
Johnny Carson smoked on the set during his shows, he had it hidden behind his desk and would sneak puffs when the camera was pointed at the guest.
Garry Moore was smoking on Password
By your reaction to people smoking on TV, you're definitely younger than a baby-boomer! LOL
Yes. What a criminal.
Holy smoking on the show
On "bayonet," I think "rifle" would be a better clue than "gun." No one said that.
two comedians, a banker and a college student. I doubt they're the 'know the difference between rifle/gun" crowd.
Marilyn is a beautiful and smart girl!
Those were the days when one could smoke on TV during the games. LOL
Allen asks "Gretchen, what does your husband do?" No questions about her.
I love how the host asks the contestant about her husband and not about herself. Like she couldn't be interesting enough.
Just be glad he let her out of the kitchen.
The contestants had been pre-interviewed. Allen asked them about the more interesting aspects of their lives.
This is the first I've seen smoking ON the show, not just advertised.
7:30 = "Peekahboo"
🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😄🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂

Wow!! They let him smoke on the game show!! Really old
the 14:31 moment is hilarious 🌋
Haha! One of the funniest! I do feel like Michael was robbed a bit, though. Alan said five seconds and then suddenly the time was up. Carol was a huge distraction. She's too funny!
Alan King is definitely running that "Watch The Eyes" gag right into the ground. I consider myself lenient, but even I'm getting tired of it!
I noticed during the word bayonet the male contestant said watch the eyes to Allen ! Very funny. 🐼
Carol's first partner wasn't too pleased with her, especially at the 7:06 mark.
I wish they would bring Password back but who to host?,
Anyone but Jimmy Fallon
What is the connection between Carole Burnett and FADE"?
At that time she was starring in a musical called Fade Out, Fade In
Allen explained it. You're not paying attention.
The contestant looked pissed when Carol did not get ‘Skunk’

This was during the Vietnam War, never heard of b ayonet
Alan King is SMOKING! = wowie
Michael oppenheim. The future Costanza
😂😂
Hey carol burnett said Newport News va
My uncle was stationed there...
I live across the water of Newport News va I'm from Norfolk va
I always liked this version better than Password Plus, which was lame and dumbed down from this.
It's easy as an armchair quarterback in 2019, LOL but for "Tongue" how about "… Taster…"
Amazing they could smoke on the game show.
He asked the wife what does your husband do hahaha
Pretty standard for that era
"What does your husband do?"
It’s hard to understand Carol Burnetts , partner that has the head been on.
Unfortunately, you probably never saw a black person on the show.
A black star(can't remember who) but I haven't seen a black contestant yet( just started watching).
Last night, I saw Sammy Davis Jr. And another black contestant, on a different episode; have forgotten who it was. My lousy memory.... I haven't watched Password a lot, yet, but I'm guessing that wasn't very common. (Edited to fix a typo)
Sure, I"ve seen a few. Keep watching.
Sidney Porter played
Art Vandalay, importer/exporter
BAYONET- Historical 🤣😂🤣
I hate that they let him smoke during the game
Why does Allen always look lost when he comes out on stage?
is anybody else sick and tired of "watch the eyes"?

Carol's wearing a hair wig !!!!
🤣🤣😂😂
Hes smoking 🚬 too
His smoking seems so strange. Really that addicted he can go 30 min without.
Oh my God. He says to her what does your husband do.
Carol is a lot funnier than Alan
I adore alan though!
yeah that's the general opinion
Alan was successful because he was Jewish. The Jews ran Hollywood back then. All male comedians were Jewish
@@Mark-sj3xb Jews are smart too.
@@Mark-sj3xb oh good grief. Be careful, your anti semitic is showing.
“What does your husband do?”
🤦🏻♂️
King was a bit dense

In some odd way Alan Ladd carries himself like Trump except for I like Alan better. LOL

Alan likes to cheat.
