@@bettymiller1929 Yes, it was -- against Joyce Brothers. But the good doctor herself wasn't gonna let Revlon have the upper hand -- she beat the sponsor and the producers at their game, and won the top prize honestly.
She won by outsmarting them lol she read the book written by a boxing professional who wrote all the questions to ask her ...he basically played himself lol
They did not cheat on this show. That was the "21" show. They did give harder questions to contestants the producers did not like but no one on the Question was given the answers in advance.
I read about the scandals surrounding game shows during this time and what Joyce Brothers did was amazing I heard she became a leading expert in boxing and she was cleared of any wrongdoing when the investigations wrapped up. really incredible. also the man who knew the Bible so well was also remarkable I doubt even the most religious folks know the entire book by heart
she wasnt an expert she knew that the best way to get picked to be on the question was to have a knowledge about an area that the person should know nothing about so she chose boxing she had a photographic memory and read every book on boxing that was out there...she pretty much knew everything about every fight ever recorded she was never fed a single question or answer, but the sponsor hated her and they tried their best to trip her up
@@thewkovacs316 Well if she studied that hard and learned that much, doesn't that kind of make her an expert? An expert is just someone who knows a ton of stuff about something.
Gosh, thanks for uploading this. What a shame we cannot see Dr. Joyce Brothers' complete run. I had heard that the producers, Charles Revson in particular, did not want her to win. But even if she did not want to wear make up, the image of an attractive, fiercely intelligent young woman who kept her cool as she won the big prize should have been a fantastic selling point for their cosmetics.
So, as a relative of the contestant in question, I can tell you that this wasn't staged. He could recite the Bible chapter and verse on prompting, even the most obscure sections. That being said, in his next episode, he declined to go for the full prize.
This is an absolute gem!! Like a time capsule to a very different era in so many ways. It's so much more interesting than any gameshow I see today. Proper questions, no stupid long suspenseful pauses all the time, and it's not all staged. Not flashy, but educational and real. The adverts are absolutely hilarious as well!!! :D
@@michalskeens-shamblin5284 that's amazing I was going to do a random research into him. Anything you are willing to share over a comment for myself and others who stumble across this?
Reef I 100% agree with you- but I gotta day the questions the guy was asked weren’t soft balls. Hell -there’s no way I’d be able to just recite the Bible like that. Hers were harder but in general they were all harder then they would be now
@@rivvelmusic Actually no, that's not why it was hard. They didn't want her to win big, BUT it was because the sponsor, Revlon, and their head honcho Charles Revson didn't like her. If you've studied the quiz show scandals, you'll learn that the sponsors sometimes had a BIG say in who stayed and who didn't. Revlon didn't think Dr. Brothers represented what cosmetics were about. Fortunately, she was smarter than they realized and stumped them when she CORRECTLY answered trick questions. Another thing $64K Question did was test them in their categories by having them answer questions (on paper I presume?). The producers would then know what they knew and what they didn't. With Dr. Brothers they tried to throw a curveball at her by asking questions about referees instead of boxers, as seen on this ep. At this point the sponsor tried to "knock her off" and kept bugging the producers etc. to "get rid of her." BUT she outwitted them, and bc she did answer correctly, won the money. There were other girls & women who did win big on this show....Gloria Lockerman (a young spelling whiz), Myrtle Power (baseball expert), and a few others. The contestants never were in on the rigging on Question/Challenge. (They were on Twenty-One, though.) Does anyone know if Dr. Brothers was able to go all the way on $64K Question or Challenge?
The first referee question she answers with Arthur Donovan. His son was Baltimore Colts great Art Donovan. I worked for Art as a lifeguard at his country club. He told some great stories not only of his football days but of his father's tales of refereeing some of the best boxers of all time.
@@jeffcolter2156 No the producers didn't give the contestants anything like that. They simply asked them a series of questions beforehand in their field of expertise, and then knew what they could and couldn't ask on TV. They also used this to manipulate when a contestant could be knocked off.
What a complete sham. Completely rigged game. This is a shining example of men trying to put women in a corner. There’s a reason why this was such a groundbreaking situation. Aside from humans trying to have dominance over each other.
Not all men are that bad though, and it's not like women are completely innocent either, it just sucks that men are much more open about thier gender inequality stuff, but still, the games show host is definitely a scam
Jack Hartford well done and accurately stated. You simply highlighted the overall fact this vid displays....an undeniable, proven demographic that far outweighs it's opposition. And you pointed out this irrefutable, decades old approach without casting a "bad" light directly onto "all" men, or boxing every female into a "completely innocent" category. Thank you. 👍
? Without having heard the story before, would her question seem unreasonably difficult compared to the bible guy's? She was going for 16 grand, the bible guy was going for 2. If his 2 grand question was "name one biblical mesopotamian king besides Nebuchadnezzar" and his 4 grand question was "name the 3 ways Samson fibbed about the source of his strength", then surely Brothers's 16 grand question to name the referees in 4 extremely famous boxing matches was not out of sorts for the difficulty curve for this programme. Admittedly, I've not seen any more 64,000 Question than this one clip, and yes, I did for most of my life conflate this show with Pyramid in my mind, so I could easily just be mistaken, or I could be just another closet misogynistic asshole
Correct, and it has been proven that the producers of this show purposely gave Dr. Brothers harder questions because they couldn’t stand the thought of a woman winning.
@@termeownatorWell, I've heard the producers specifically made questions harder for her (I mean, it stands to reason that if you chose questions relating to boxing, you'd expect questions related to boxers). But you can tell they didn't like her because the hostess slammed the door when she entered, compared to the history guy who lightly had the door closed on him and was even given credit for answering his question wrong (he said the 19th amendment was ratified in 1921, when it was actually 1920). I think that shows the bias here.
To me from Germany, what really sticks out is the total commercialization of the show. German TV was completely in public hands until the late 80s, so this stuff really only started in the 90s and it's still nowhere near this shameless.
This isn’t really different to the usual advertisements you get during breaks on a tv programme today. The difference is that they’re advertising in-program instead of showing pre-recorded advertisements.
@@thewkovacs316 King James is the only translation fit to use. The finest book ever written by committee. Much better than the "good news" texts that come from heaven knows where that try to simplify the bible for stupid people that can't grasp true english
For how much the producers tried to make it so that she would not win, I'm very surprised that all of the advertisements and sponsorships are geared towards women products.
This seems like something that would have aired during daytime television, which was more commonly watched by women (stay at home mothers etc.), so it’s only natural that advertisements were aimed at women.
@@stephaniemalette6953 This was the Number ONE show on television at the time. "Question" knocked "I Love Lucy", from the top of the heap. The show was so successful, NBC rushed "Twenty One" to air to counter punch, with popular contestants, who could stay on the show for months, instead of 5-6 weeks max. To capitalize on the new "stars" created, CBS greenlighted, "The $64,000 Challenge", to bring back popular winners, to continue dazzling audiences. Even though Revlon was the sponsor, the audience consisted of plenty of men, who likely controlled what the family watched on a given night in 1957.
I can't tell if your comment was just a quip or not. You may or may not know, but back in the olden days there were no fancy commercials like today. What you see here is accurate and authentic. Consumers didn't have to pay for service at all. The advertisers paid for shows to be on the air. That's why the host calls them sponsors. Of course TV's were super expensive for the average family since it was a new technology. 😊
The questions were difficult but it was done in the area that the contestant knew. I never watched this. I was asleep when it was on. In 1955 I was 2 years old.

Just so you know, back in the olden days there was no color tv. No commercials either. What you see here is accurate and authentic. Consumers didn't have to pay for service at all.

Here is the $64,000 (multi-part) Question Dr. Joyce Brothers answered correctly. What were the gloves of Roman gladiators in the Coliseum called? Who was the first scientific boxer, heavyweight champion of England in 1791? What was the name of the heavyweight champion of England who taught a famous poet the art of boxing? Who wrote the famous essay 'The Fight' after having seen Bill Neat defeat Tom Hickman for the English heavyweight title in 1821, and what was Hickman's nickname? What was the full name of the Marquis of Queensberry, who set up the Queensberry rules? In 1933, Primo Carnera defended the world heavyweight title abroad. Who was his opponent, and where did they meet? How many times did Jack Dempsey floor Luis Firpo in their famous fight in New York? How long did the fight last, within 30 seconds? The Answers 1. Cestus 2. Daniel Mendoza 3. John “Gentleman” Jackson (The poet was Lord Byron) 4. William Hazlitt / Hickman’s nickname: “Gaslight” 5. John Sholto Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry (John Graham Chambers of the British Amateur Athletic Club, actually wrote the rules) 6. Paulino Uzcudon / Rome 7. 9 Knockdowns / three minutes and 57 seconds
So audiences couldn't give him the answers. Charles Ingram protection in theory. In practice the whole show was rigged by Revlon anyway so whether he was one of the people who were given the specific answers beforehand I don't know...maybe that was another show I'm conflating with the plan to block Joyce here
Wow. Some of the comments on this thread. She’s a smart person and obviously follows sports. She knew the answer. I’d have had to walk right out of that booth. I never follow sports.
Not quite, she had no pre-existing interest in boxing. The game was rigged for or against contestants, it was part of the game show scandals which led to federal laws regulating them. The sponsors were the ones in charge during this era, and the Revlon rep hated her for not wearing full makeup and acting lady-like and wanted her off, so they saddled her with boxing and tried to make it so she'd lose right away. She won 64k studying the boxing materials intensely to spite them, nearly 750,000 today.
I love that every "question" is really a string of 2-4 questions.
Like the question in Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield. "I only have one question for you...broken into 38 parts, 24 subsections,....."

hi everyone from reddit
No need to stalk me
They do be in the mines tho o.o
The miner at the beginning was very articulate when speaking. One wonders about the education system back in the day. I've met more skilled and probably instructed people that talk like confused primates and have a hard time being logical and restrained.

Is there any way to color this video ? Just wondering :)
ali plevneli - Have you been watching color TV since you were
a small kid? The first 30 years of my life, I saw black and white TV ONLY, only. Could you adjust to that?
Always. I'm sure you could do it if you want to. Just get the right software and you're off and running! You'll have to do some research on it, but I'm sure you can find the right one for you.
Just so you know, back in the olden days there was no color tv. No commercials either. What you see here is accurate and authentic. Consumers didn't have to pay for service at all. The advertisers paid for shows to be on the air. That's why the host calls them sponsors. Of course TV's were super expensive for the average family since it was a new technology.
If you're interested, also look up how broadcasting worked and all the different antennas used. This was WAY before there were satellites!
Just a little fun part of history to think about! 😁
@@bobbyfrancis8957 ofc since 1989 🤣

Bit harsh..
End
So weird to see that most of these people are probably dead by now
Futruraaaaaammmmmmaaaa!
Why did he have to go into the booth?
So audiences couldn't give him the answers. Charles Ingram protection in theory. In practice the whole show was rigged by Revlon anyway so whether he was one of the people who were given the specific answers beforehand I don't know...maybe that was another show I'm conflating with the plan to block Joyce here
Wow. Some of the comments on this thread. She’s a smart person and obviously follows sports. She knew the answer. I’d have had to walk right out of that booth. I never follow sports.
Not quite, she had no pre-existing interest in boxing. The game was rigged for or against contestants, it was part of the game show scandals which led to federal laws regulating them. The sponsors were the ones in charge during this era, and the Revlon rep hated her for not wearing full makeup and acting lady-like and wanted her off, so they saddled her with boxing and tried to make it so she'd lose right away. She won 64k studying the boxing materials intensely to spite them, nearly 750,000 today.
