Yes, I am sorry to say it is true. Bert was a wonderful person and a very good friend to my family. I will never forget him for as long as I live. I treasure the photo I have of us together at my dad's wedding. He was beautiful.
I saw this episode when it was first aired. I was on the floor, rolling around, crying, gasping for air! What a genius. I find it poignant that now his statement about coming out clean on network tv has an additional meaning.
She passed away six days before my fiancée who had a health issue similar to the lady. When that news story broke of the passing of Patty Duke I could see the color drain from my dearest's face because, I believe now, she somehow was foreseeing her own end. I truly did not suspect anything when I left to keep a dinner date with my daughter who was visiting for a brief period from out of town. I got the word from my intended stepson that "Mom had a heart attack!." (I can recall his tone of voice to this moment). When the next phone call came in I _knew_ what it meant before I answered. Sad, sad time it was.
What was Patty thinking? And then what's funnier is that she really didn't get for awhile that she had said "testimony". This is beyond hilarious. I miss really good game shows like this when it was more than just the game show -- but more like playing a game with your family and laughing constantly.
She actually gave a legitimate clue initially. She said "witness" but it was lost amid Bert's hijinks. I think she just was distracted and, since the password is "testimony" and that's the word most on her mind, that's what came out when she tried to give the clue a second time.
Rest in peace, dear Anna. This is also my favorite memory of Patty. So heartbroken. Hope she continues to give away the Password when she reunites with Bert in heaven...
I think that Rip Taylor was originally searching for either "epistle" or "epistolary." This is one of the funniest exchanges that I have seen. Thank you, Bert Convy, Patty Duke, and Rip Taylor. Requiscat in pace.
RIP, Rip. You made me laugh so much on TV and I laughed until my sides hurt when I saw your show in Vegas. You'll live on in videos like this one. @startrekkin58 thank you for this. I hadn't seen it.
most of the stars of the 60' and '70s are not with us..all except everyone listed as a regular on the Love Boat...from the captain to his wife in season 10 to doc are all alive and well
This was a hilarious clip - Patty was trying to be serious and it threw her off. She actually had a valid clue at first. She was a good sport about it. What surprised me was the actual Super Password.....considering what Patty Duke went through in the 70s and early 80s. She undiagnosed bipolar until 1982. She has since proven that bipolar disorder isn't such a bad thing when it's moderated. She turned it into a positive for herself and others.
I have a brother and a cousin who are bipolar and are handling it pretty well. Plus, I have Asperger Syndrome and like Patty Duke, I am trying to show the world that Asperger Syndrome is not something to be afraid of.
Powerranger6342 That's right! The diagnosis is only supposed to be for method of treatment, not a sentence. You learn about it and it empowers you. I have Social/Generalized Anxiety Disorder myself - I do know about Asperger's through my study. People freak out about that one, too. It's just anxiety! Everybody has it.
Something about classic gameshows where they left the funny in and made the gameshow fun to watch in today’s gameshows that would have been edited out for more gameplay. R.i.p Bert Patty duke and rip Taylor also if Bert convy would have been able to do match game it probably would of lasted until 93-94 season switching to cbs with family feud being canceled in 91
Speaking of Match Game '90, there's a clip of Rip and Fred Travelena on the panel. Fred affectionately mocks Rip, so he whips off his wig and whacks Fred with it. :)
Every game show has its "most talked-about moment". Password Plus had the "French" incident, The Price is Right had its "Yolanda" hour, and Super Password had this.
Any time Rip Taylor was in something, zaniness will surely follow in his wake. This whole thing was pure comedy gold. The creme de la crème of comedy chaos! The whole scenario goes completely downhill from there and the sheer insane hilarity is timeless. Especially when Patty revealed the word! The absolute zaniness! Appropriately enough the answer to the puzzle was Nuts! They certainly were nuts.
I was a little boy when I first saw Rip on TV and I said "This guy is NUTS!" and I've been a fan ever since. Thanks for all the laughs Rip and you look great with or without your rug.
Despite being what was perhaps the most hilarious moment in television game show history, the best part I find personally is that he stayed in character throughout. Notice how he treated the wig like another one of his props.
Rip is fantastic, and the late Bert Convy was such a fun talent as a host and occasional Actor as well. I miss the energy, escapist fun and irreverence of the old game shows like this. Now any new game show, as few as they are, feel too contrived, forced, over serious, and are not even 1/10 as fun as the old school of game shows. Then as now, we live in a ugly world, and game shows should be light escapist fare such as this.
@fardirass - and game show producers knew how to have fun and not stick to a timed format where something like this would be cut out in favor of more Depends ads.
What is funny to me here is that many times I've seen clips of Patty screaming at Bert for blowing the puzzle or giving away the word, and looky here, she isn't immune.

Credit to Rip, for "embarrassing" himself to take the embarrassment off of Patty. A clever, classy act
Definitely. He was a class act
I think he looked better without the toupee.
@@ochsj1971 he looked like any grandpa, instead of an odd man
he did an attention-seeking moment but for the right reasons and saved her from embarrassment
@@ochsj1971 I agree!
Rip Taylor looks like the guy from the Monopoly game without his wig on.
I totally agree
That silly old bitch! Lol
Rip Taylor reminds me of the guy that first greets Dorothy at the door when she arrives at the Emerald City.
And the munchkins too
Who rang that bell?
@@WastedPo yesssss
Rest in Peace, Rip Taylor. You were consistently comedy gold.
Rip Rip taylor
One of the funniest moments in game shows... and there was NOTHIN' wrong with Rip Taylor.
dylan plantenga Wayne Greene showed his bald head, & exposing that to me.
Rip Taylor looks so much better proudly exposing his bald head! He looks exactly like the mustachioed millionaire on the Monopoly game!
SO FUNNY 😂🤣 Rip Taylor was one-of-a-kind ; the most funny the most innovative comedian ever to grace a stage .
Rest in peace , great man❤️
So sad that these three legends are gone.
Make that 4, Patty Duke-Astin, Rip Taylor, Bert Convy and Gene Wood.
Yes, I am sorry to say it is true. Bert was a wonderful person and a very good friend to my family. I will never forget him for as long as I live. I treasure the photo I have of us together at my dad's wedding. He was beautiful.
What a lovely story. Everything I’ve read about him tells how wonderful a person he was. We truly, truly, truly lost him too soon.
I saw this episode when it was first aired. I was on the floor, rolling around, crying, gasping for air! What a genius. I find it poignant that now his statement about coming out clean on network tv has an additional meaning.
Oh wait, You're not fully clean unless you're Zest-Fully Clean.
Patty was so funny trying to be serious, Bert's laugh and of course Rip's hair raising moment, bring me here often for a good chuckle.
I heard that Rip Taylor just passed away. He was awesome. RIP Rip Taylor, you'll be missed.
Thats 2 words
Rip

RIP Patty Duke. This is what I remembered always about Patty Duke.
sean vogt and RIP and Bert

@@jacobskinner3522 That's exactly what happened.
It wasn’t the first time someone blurted out the password. Jack Parr did it twice in a row.
Rip Taylor was the man!! RIP to a legend.
RIP Rip Taylor. Thank you for the laughs Rip!
R.I.P Rip Taylor, Patty Duke and Bert Convy
R.I.P. Rip!!!! Thanks for the laughs and making this one of the greatest TV Gameshow Bloopers of all-time!!!
Rest in peace, dear Anna. This is also my favorite memory of Patty. So heartbroken. Hope she continues to give away the Password when she reunites with Bert in heaven...
Testimony, repent, omniscient, treason; lol...Just throwing out some random passwords for Patty to give away.
@@BlindLibrary If she doesn't give away the word, Bert will probably give away the puzzle...lol
@@BlindLibrary Not "WATER!! WATERRRR!!!" ?
Rip Taylor actually looked pretty awesome without the wig. He should have gone with that style for a while.
A living legend of laughter. Thank you Rip Taylor for making us laugh, cry, and laugh again.
R. I. P. to Rip. We miss you and love you. Thank you for all the great times that you gave us, and we'll see you soon. :)
I watch this clip periodically, as it never fails to bring me a laugh when I need it.
Rip Taylor on looking good without the toupee: “Well, thank you. There goes $13 shot.”
🤣🤣🤣
Rip Taylor is funny and has his own confetti

RIP Patty Duke (1946-2016)
This episode played yesterday on the Buzzer Network 😆
that's the definition of "a comedy of errors"
or FUBAR
Don't feel bad. Matchgame had its own definite share of comedy and beautiful errors at the right times.
THE most hilarious moment in "Super Password" history!
RIP Rip Taylor. Your over the top antics like this made for great TV.
Bert Convy, Patty Duke and now Rip Taylor are all no longer with us. R.I.P.
most of the stars of the 60' and '70s are not with us..all except everyone listed as a regular on the Love Boat...from the captain to his wife in season 10 to doc are all alive and well

1:31 "Testimony."
[EVERYTHING GOES INSANE ALL OF A SUDDEN]
😆LOL😆
@Brandon Taylor Exactly. Everyone went berserk all because... *"BERT BLEW IT!!!"* Wait, that's the wrong video...
Goodnight, sweet prince.

FOR. SUPER PASSWORD 👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
Oh Rip
RIP my friend. Thank you!
R.I.P. Rip Taylor & Patty Duke
Talk about flipping his wig...LOL...Rip Taylor was hilarious!!!
That is freakin' hilarious!
Yes indeed, Rip was one of my favorite comedians.
I haven’t laughed that much in awhile. When she said the word I died
I grew up watching the Patty Duke Show, and I even bought her record "Don't just stand There" She's the best
Absolutely classic comedy gold. The moment that this episode went completely off the rails and descended into pure chaos.
1:34 "The perfect clue!" 😂😂
Patty Duke IS GORGEOUS!!!!!:):):):)
So's that girl she's playing with.
R.I.P. Rip Taylor
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️LOVE THIS SHOW. ESPECIALLY THIS HAPPY SHOW 😊
👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
"It's my show, I can do it if I want to!" Did Bert just kick over a chair after that?
A stool.
Thanks for this memory, Rip!
Every game show has its "most talked-about moment". Password Plus had the "French" incident, The Price is Right had its "Yolanda" hour, and Super Password had this.
You forgot the "September" incident on Family Feud.
@@BlueBomber47 And Karen Lesko on Match Game, and Aaron on Scrabble.
Talk about wigging out.
The "French incident" of Super Password.
Darrel Jones That was Password Plus. Tom Kennedy gave Dick Martin a talk, and Tom Kennedy almost tossed that puzzle out.
I know. My point is, THIS incident (the "Testimony" incident in the video above) was Super Password's equivalent.
This guy wuz that shiznit!
RIP Rip Taylor.
As an old soul person myself, i miss these celebrities 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this one had me dying laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rip Taylor...Hilarious!!!
Mr. W. Cue ball
R.I.P. Rip
1:46 lol
RIP Bert, Patty, and Rip.
Anytime I need a really good laugh, I play this video & I feel much better!
Thanks for another magical comedy moment Rip Taylor. RIP.
A great era of daytime TV that is GONE.
Rip Taylor 💕💕💕

Rest In Peace Rip, thanks for the laughs.
Rip Taylor always cracked me up. He was Carrot Top before there was a Carrot Top
Patty now Rip will be so missed.
So funny! I love how Bert ls cracking up
Yet TV executives continue to question why TV today is failing. What a world.
You're a real thrill at parties, aren't you?
The most hilarious moment on game show TV!
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Happy 75th Birthday Rip!!!
I've watched this a couple of times. Once Rip gets going you just have to hold on for the ride😂 If I'm not mistaken he did Hollywood Squares as well.
Lmfao. Pure gold. God bless them all. Rip looked so much better ♥️
That exposed the fact that Rip was bald
Rip is fantastic, and the late Bert Convy was such a fun talent as a host and occasional Actor as well. I miss the energy, escapist fun and irreverence of the old game shows like this.

Rip was a judge on the original Gong Show several times.
My dad worked that show for awhile too.
He looks like if Colin Mochrie had a moustache, without that wig
Makes me wonder if he was ever invited to be on even one session for Whose Line.
1:31 They used the "form of the word" sound effect first, instead of the "illegal clue" sound effect.
RIP Rip Taylor aka King of Confetti "Testimony" 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙃🤣
this scene is the best!
I love Patty Duke.
@OjaiRoy
"There goes Helen Keller again" lol, that was a nice reference to Patty Duke's Oscar winning role in "The Miracle Worker"
This is legendary
@fardirass - and game show producers knew how to have fun and not stick to a timed format where something like this would be cut out in favor of more Depends ads.
love how it was on backwards
RIP Rip :(
What is funny to me here is that many times I've seen clips of Patty screaming at Bert for blowing the puzzle or giving away the word, and looky here, she isn't immune.
Norm McDonald clips sent me here, this was pretty funny.
The puzzle was nuts which is what this is.
I totally remember this. I was dying laughing!
