- When two technical issues happen within a 45-second time frame, Alex Trebek goes to the Bob Barker Book of Game Show Prizes and does what he thinks is best for his contestant.
Wow, now that was some Classic Concentration! He handles it so smooth even though the operators are mumbling in the background.

DO YOU THINK
I think they had to stop tape a couple of times - listen for the change in audio levels just after 1:25 for instance.
@@brendanrichards4056 I could hear Gene and the other guys in the back saying "stop".
"Those responsible got their cheeks busted and their wigs split for all to see"
YA THINK?!
Not only he hosted Jeopardy, he also did classic concentration and was a spokesperson of Colonial Penn RIP Alex
There was a short stretch during classic concentration he also hosted to tell the truth: 3 shows at the same time. 😮
I sure hope Ken Jennings will be the new permanent host for Jeopardy sometime after season 38 ends.
What about Buzzy Cohen? And Mayim Bialik?
@@anniegao9105 Get Buzzy to host Celebrity Jeopardy! Not Mayim! Mayim is like my least favorite. To me, she's not that good at hosting Jeopardy due to her slow answering. I like Ken better at regular Jeopardy while Buzzy would be a perfect fit for Celebrity Jeopardy.

I just saw it today and that was a good game. 😀👍
"Due to a production problem, this program was edited."
That's putting it lightly. ;)
I'm just thankful that Buzzr doesn't edit the closing credits like another game show network does

@@nintendonerdsvideos4727 They didn't have to do too much of that. Around late 1987, NBC stopped doing fee plugs at the end of their game shows. Instead, they just mentioned a prize some contestants would receive just before they did the closing of that respective episode.
I wonder where this ranks in the glitchiest bonus games in the history of the show.
Probably in there somewhere with Marla Law's technical bonus win.
Oh yeah, that right
This was running on a 1980s computer enough said
Also TV sets back in the day because of the crummy video cameras that required a crazy amount of lighting we're also uncomfortably hot and here's hoping the computer that ran the bonus game was far away from the set in a nice cool location
Another thing I've always wondered is if they ever had any major problems with the complex computer system that was required to run the Press Your Luck Big board as it wasn't just the cursor on the computer but also the computer or computers that changed the prizes and money displayed on the individual screens
But you have to give these game shows credit for daring to use what was state-of-the-art technology back in the day
periodically some of the slides would not show up, like it would be a dark spot on the board, but the "selector" on the board that jumps around I haven't seen any real problems with that. There were a few other bloopers on the set such as the "spins" sign breaking, and one contestant breaking the button to stop the board.
That was some terrible luck by those operating the board and the clock, but good luck to the contestant for winning that truck.

$9,100 is nothing to sneeze at.
@@NickCMedia Actually CC Charade had been valued at about $10,000.

Small difference.
One thing I've always wondered is how Trebek talked Mark Goodson and Merv Griffin into letting him host this? Obviously Mark Goodson Productions and Merv Griffin Enterprises were rival companies. In most jobs, huge conflict of interest.
No real conflicts here, Jeopardy was airing at night, Classic Concentration was during the day. Unless Alex signed some sort of exclusive deal with either then he would be free to do that. The networks might have an issue with it.
For instance, Back when Bob Barker was about to retire they actually approached Tom Bergeron at first he didn't think he could because he was doing dancing with the stars on ABC, but turns out they only locked him up for prime time. Regardless, he turned it down because of scheduling concerns.
0:22 You can barely hear what sounds like one of the producers shouting something. Probably the computer malfunction and to stop the game.
Here I was thinking she was trying to win the Taurus
LULZ! Do you think Captain Midnight or even Michael Larson was sitting behind the computers that ran the bonus round?! 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
On top of that, the "winning" cue sounded like it started from the wrong place (it usually does 😂).
A case of everything that can go wrong, did go wrong.
Lucky
If this show had a reboot, it would've aired on the Game Show Network.
nope it would air on Buzzr, they purchased the tights to "Classic Concentration" and own the rights to all Mark Goodson shows. can anyone confirm/deny if that includes the Marl Goodson-Bill Todman library of shows as well?
@@disneydanny2 🤔
@@disneydanny2 Specifically, Fremantle owns it.
There was actually 15 seconds
What was the name of the Jeep she won?
Jeep Comanche. Quite rare to find and they go for pretty good money if you can find one in decent shape.
I BELIEVE alison was also on the hollywood game in 1992.
how did she qualify for the tournamenr of champions, (This was NOT an official win.)
Jeep was an American Motors brand.
If after 1987, it was and still is a Chrysler brand

Hi,
Didnt get the gist ?
Can anyone explain ?
The contestant is required to match pairs of car names on the board, within the time frame that is set on the clock. Normally base time is 35 seconds, but it grows by 5 seconds each time a car isn't won. But because of a technical hiccup with the board system, an incorrect match was accepted screwing up the bonus game. So they let her have two choices continue as is, they fix the error and give her 5 extra seconds of time on the clock. Or she starts with a new bonus board and full time again, she chose the 5 extra seconds and continued as normal. But the thing is, the timer is manually armed, and it didn't start when her first resuming pick happened. But here their backup clock kicked in and was at 12 seconds once they said stop, after noticing the main one broke. So they opted since the bonus game failed twice, to give her the last matching car that was up on the board due to this happening two times. Though most of the time the bonus game rarely fails like this, it's only ever hiccuped twice on a contestant.
They've had operator error more than twice, usually opening the wrong door. When that happens, they stop, close the wrong door, open the correct door, add 5 seconds because of the rhythm you get into when playing, and start again with the next call.
I assume they offered the brand new game because of the stop down which could have caused the memory to go, and had that been chosen, we'd never know this had specifically happened.
@@c3po626 Actually at No.15 had been Jeep Comanche.
She called 14 and 3, they didn't match and they credited her with a match.
@@c3po62612 seconds left, very likely she would have gotten that match anyway.
