@@WinkMartindaleGames Well To be honest, I thought you were a wee bit older. Don't get me wrong, very happy you are still on the green side of life. Thanks for posting up the videos.
The best part of the John Davidson question relating to Japanese Brides is Peter Marshall's smug grin after Davidson says, "On the hole I would say." It says that Marshall set Davidson up.
Actually, it was the show's writers. PM in his memoir said he only had the questions, not the gag answers----essentially the reverse of what the Squares had (an outline of the category they could be facing, a "joke" answer, and a "serious" (not necessarily correct) answer.)
I am soooo happy to see you back doing what you do so well! I grew up in L.A. (from the 1960s on). Your face and voice are a large part of my happy memories of the time. It is a delight to see, and hear, that your familiar friendly face, talent, professionalism and wonderful voice have not changed one bit. I am pleased to have the chance to Subscribe to your TH-cam channel and be counted among your fans. Because... I was and I remain a fan, sir. Thanks for all the great video posts. Let's see more with you as 'on camera talent', please. Sincerely, Bill Mills
@@RayNDeere I think George was uncomfortable sitting next to Florence after she said that. But I remember that part very well. And of course you can't forget Florence putting her head down in disbelief of what she had just said.

I'll never forget how the Mike Douglas show ended in the early 80's--despite having very good ratings--Mr. Douglas' production company (Group W)--decided they wanted to go after a younger demographic and essentially without any warning cancelled his show and replaced it with the "John Davidson Show"--Mr. Douglas was furious and essentially never spoke to John Davidson again--it was obviously a big mistake as Davidson's show only lasted about a year
Meanwhile, Peter Marshall knew that he set John Davidson (who would host the mid-to-late 80s version of Hollywood Squares) up with that question. That grin Peter has on his face tells us everything we need to know.
Thanks for taking a few to respond, Wink. I'm 52 and fondly remember game shows in the 70's (including Gambit). It infuriates me to see all these gossip shows, judge shows, and sleaze shows the air is saturated with these days. It's a shame we'll probably never see TV like that again.
Paul Lynde is so funny 😹😹😹
So quick-witted and still funny to watch to this day.
I'm not familiar with Lynde but I remember seeing him on reruns of Bewitched as uncle Author.
Arthur 🙂
6:20 "I'll go for the fairy"....you can see him thinking it over right before.....Wow
This was a great Era in Broadcast Television. It was BIG like the stars who were on it. Thanks for sharing.
Finally, someone had the wontons to post the ' loneliness ' answer. I've heard about it but never actually heard it until now.
Paul Lynde is the ABSOLUTE best!!! But I have to admit...I’ve watched this 100 times, & I laugh until I cry from start to finish
I laughed at work during lunch. People staring. Now they're on here laughing too. Thanks I needed that
OMG I just looked ol' Wink up. Surprised he is still alive at 88 years of age. Thanks Wink!
Why are you surprised, should I not be? ;)
@@WinkMartindaleGames Well To be honest, I thought you were a wee bit older. Don't get me wrong, very happy you are still on the green side of life. Thanks for posting up the videos.
Melissa Gilbert's reaction to Paul's dog answer. Priceless!!
Great quality clips. Like brand new!
The pounding meat one actually lasted 15 minutes because people couldn't stop laughing...that I want to see!
Steve Bello that one was too funny
Not sound, you'll need ear plugs and a pair of bricks 🧱.... 🐘......
it lasted longer, but the fairies joke had them laughing harder 🤣

Even funnier is that Davidson later hosted Squares
@@Nickrj3 Yes the 86-89 version with Joan Rivers being the center square
Marshałl didn’t because he initially got the question wrong, saying birds , not brides, not shown here because of editing.
Dear Abby
What shouldn’t I do in bed?
Point and laugh 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That slayed me! OMFG!
Love this….thank you……keep ‘em coming…..for sure…✨😘
They got way with a lot in seventies.
At 6 minutes 47 seconds Colin was so funny with the fairy question
"Oh, loneliness." The look on his face suggests he really means it or has been there.
and with Big Bird in the lower right corner, too 😏🤣
I noticed that the footage from 2:13 to 2:26 was from when the show had a special one-hour week from September 1975. I'd love to see the whole show!
Hey Winker, we ALL miss your dear friend Peter. Shame the two of you weren't back to back on NBC during your respective stints in LV

Wonderful, thank you for posting this! If you have any more, please post them. Beautiful quality! thanks. x
Love to watch out takes and bloopers from tv shows they can bed so funny some times Paul is funny always all the time 100 percent always !!
I never knew Mrs. Brady had it in her!
at least three times.....!
Loved how George Gobel just walked to the steps and had a smoke
@@RayNDeere I think George was uncomfortable sitting next to Florence after she said that. But I remember that part very well. And of course you can't forget Florence putting her head down in disbelief of what she had just said.
...well she was supposed to get a ceremonial set of keys to New York City, but then mayor John Lindsay had a better idea. True story folks.
Watch the Bob Goldthwait film "Shakes the Clown" - She plays a clown groupie

Was a great host, one of the last game show hosts of that generation
I'll never forget how the Mike Douglas show ended in the early 80's--despite having very good ratings--Mr. Douglas' production company (Group W)--decided they wanted to go after a younger demographic and essentially without any warning cancelled his show and replaced it with the "John Davidson Show"--Mr. Douglas was furious and essentially never spoke to John Davidson again--it was obviously a big mistake as Davidson's show only lasted about a year
But then John Davidson ended up hosting Hollywood Squares in the mid to late 80s.
I wish MeTV could acquire reruns of this cult classic. I mean, really, do they really need to air those westerns in the afternoons?
If they did, it would most likely be once a week and culled from what GSN ran years ago (mostly the nighttime syndie).
"I'll go for the fairy!!"
That pretty much goes without saying, Paul.
"On the whole, I would say..." he didn't see the faux pas til after.
Meanwhile, Peter Marshall knew that he set John Davidson (who would host the mid-to-late 80s version of Hollywood Squares) up with that question. That grin Peter has on his face tells us everything we need to know.
@@MrT8599 He just had the questions and the correct answers. His look was simply intuition.
This Show and The The Match Game Show, Are Both Guaranteed to Make You Laugh
Great Celebrity Stars ,Before They Became Big Stars, on Hollywood Squares ,and Match Game and Tattletales
New subbie. Your vids have such high quality and are sooo funny. Thanks for sharing! 👍
This show was the best
John Davidson gave the greatest non-sequitur in TV history.
THAT BITCH?!?! OMFG!!! xD
i'll go for the fairy - lol
“WHY THAT BITCH!” lol
I Can Remember Staying Home From School "Sick" ....Mrs. Brady....
I love John Davidson!
at the beginning i thought i was watching password plus
Paul looks completely wasted at 4:58.
John Davidson was great also. LOL
Where do theses questions came from I wonder..haha
Oh Florence 🤪💝
These are AMAZING!!
Sheer genius.
lol this is truly funny!
Just for Fun and Laughs, These Are Game Shows from The 1970s
Was the Japanese brides question from daytime?
Real cute.
All are hilarious.
5:02, LOL!
😂
A lot of these clips are from the daytime version. I thought they were wiped? Do they still exist??
From what I understand these were from a gag reel that was made back in the day...

Oh MRS BRADY
Of course Paul will go for the fairy.
Mrs Brady was a a naughty girl
Pretty soon this will be cancelled just like everything else. Enjoy it while you can.
Got it downloaded.
Still up. Just goes to show that it will *never* be canceled -- because it's genius comedy, ranking right up there with Lenny Bruce and George Carlin.
Haaaaaaa!!!!!
