Bob Denver from Gilligan's Island tries to guess the word his partner is giving a clue for, he says the word a 1,000 times on Gilligan's Island, so why can't he guess this one...
"Gilligan's Navy" as uttered by Allen would have given it to me. Then there's "captain" then "Gilligan" in succession as clues. Either way, this is a classic, and Bob's reaction when he finally realized it was priceless.
Darcy Brummett No, the dead giveaway would have been if he pretended to hit Bob Denver over the head with his invisible hat after he said Gilligan. lol I don't think names were illegal.
Love Bob Denver’s fashion look here, reminds me of the British musicians back then with his hair style and suit. I’m so used to him in his red shirt, white trousers and navy cap.
I wonder what Dwayne Hickman "Dobbie Gillis" would say had he seen this probably this..."Maynard how could you not know Skipper?" Then he'd say "It's hard work....WORK!!!" "Anyone who's seen Dobbie Gillis would get this"
That is answered at the end of the game when both Ludden and Denver make references to Gilligan through how many times he had to say that word in the past and Gilligan's trademarked yell "Skiiiiiiiper!!!!" (Gilligan's Island ended in 1967 and this appears to be in 1970's).
Correction: Bob Denver's first work as a mailman and he later coached physical education and taught mathematics at Corpus Christi School, a Roman Catholic elementary school in Pacific Palisades, California. He is a Loyola Marymount alumni.
Shows the innocence of America back then. Could anyone get away with a partner like Bob Denver's today? OMG, using the same clue "captain" three times (once by the opposing team) and then going back to "ship" for the second time. I think that is what was going through Bob's mind when he finally came up with "skipper" (covering his face with hand). Bob could only come out with "fool.........me", emphasis on "fool" with the second last answer.
@fatmanfiftythousand Go back to 1:25 and you will hear Alan Ludden say "What Navy were you in...Gilligan's Navy" an obvious clue in itself so the word should have been thrown out. The original TV series for GILLIGAN'S ISLAND ran from 1964 to 1967 (the movie sequels took place in the 70's and 80's). This episode of PASSWORD ALL-STARS aired in 1966 during Gilligan's run. Does that help?
@tryithere I think you're remark of "Now he is history" about Bob Denver is rude and thoughtless. The man is deceased, and he brought laughter to millions of people, and Bob Denver was a genius. RIP Bob.
The truth is Bob Denver was a very well read individual, and if I'm not mistaken he had a degree in History. True, the use of the password "Gilligannnn" probably would have gotten the answer of "Skipper".
Bob Denver was a very clever man. Skipper is kind of a hard word to try to give clues for. He got it when the other celebrity said "slipper." I loved the look on his face when he said "how many times did I say that?"
@TekelBrighteyes Rule was no proper names and that would've pretty much given it away flat out. It was harder because of Denver being there - Gilligan would be an easy connotation and therefore a potential cheat. True, the opponent may have made the connotation, but it still wouldn't have been as fair.
Wow, the host gave it away if you think about it when he said "Gilligan's Navy" at around 1:24. That was almost as blatant as at least a couple of Burt Convy's infamous moments. Thanks for the upload though.
Yes, I and 24 others who gave me a thumbs up agree that he's a comedic genius. Jack Benny was brilliant, and I loved him. Many people still watch Gilligan's Island, but not to many people watch The Jack Benny Show anymore, but I have some of his stuff on DVD's that I watch. Bob's timing and facial expressions were excellent. I didn't like his Maynard G. Krebs character, but Bob got stereotyped after playing Gilligan.
Can you imagine if Alan Hale was watching this, I'll bet he said "Gil;ligan!" and hit the TV with his cap.
If Alan Hale was in skipper mode, yes, I was reminded he was on 70’s beat the clock once.
Imagine if Alan was able to be on this show with Bob - on the same team.
Shouting “Gilligan” would have been the perfect clue.
Little buddy also.
@@CHARLESA-km5gz Little buddy is two words. Not allowed.
Bob Denver's expression when he finally realizes what it is... PRICELESS!
Funny stuff..Bob was awesome..sound alikes are the way to go though..one clue then next a sound alike
Bob Denver was an intelligent man. Bob was a Math High School teacher before he became a Hollywood star. May God bless him and rest in peace.
Then he's my kind of guy because I LOVE math!!!! :) :) :) :)
Carole Welles, who was starring in the CBS series (66-67) Pistols and Petticoats at the time..This is on the Password DVD set recently out..
"Gilligan's Navy" as uttered by Allen would have given it to me. Then there's "captain" then "Gilligan" in succession as clues. Either way, this is a classic, and Bob's reaction when he finally realized it was priceless.
I would have looked at Bob Denver, puffed myself up to look angry, and said "GILLIGAN!!!" He probably would have looked at me and said "....Skipper?"
None of the clue-givers thought to say, "Gilligan"?
I was thinking, "For Pete's sake, somebody say Gilligan!"
That's what I was thinking. He should have said "Gilligan" to Bob Denver with the inflection that the Skipper would use.
lol That would've been a dead giveaway! Were proper names allowed on Password?
Darcy Brummett No, the dead giveaway would have been if he pretended to hit Bob Denver over the head with his invisible hat after he said Gilligan. lol
I don't think names were illegal.
Darcy Brummett The other contestant said, "McHail." Proper names were fine.
Even this has flown under the radar for me. It's true that I never saw Bob Denver's personal life.
If i were Alan Hale Jr i wouldn't let Bob Denver live this down!
Love Bob Denver’s fashion look here, reminds me of the British musicians back then with his hair style and suit. I’m so used to him in his red shirt, white trousers and navy cap.
OMG the look on Bob's face!
Love the look on his face when he finally gets it. :)
Give us the hat, Skipper! *Clunks Bob*
I wonder what Dwayne Hickman "Dobbie Gillis" would say had he seen this probably this..."Maynard how could you not know Skipper?"
Then he'd say "It's hard work....WORK!!!" "Anyone who's seen Dobbie Gillis would get this"
I wonder if he could have pretended to smack him with his hat and growl "Gilligan!"
I meant use it twice, say "little" once, then next time, "buddy"... But yours is a really good one too!
He should've said "Little buddy" then he would've known who says that.. Skipper..lol.
C'mon, Bob. It was a "gimmie".
RIP Bob
Robert Osbourne Denver (January 9, 1935 - September 2, 2005)
@Beautifulmusiclistnr LOL Bob Denver a genius, sure you don't mean John Denver? Maybe even Denver Pyle?
That is answered at the end of the game when both Ludden and Denver make references to Gilligan through how many times he had to say that word in the past and Gilligan's trademarked yell "Skiiiiiiiper!!!!" (Gilligan's Island ended in 1967 and this appears to be in 1970's).
SMOKIN HOT BLOND AND SMOKIN DOPE GILAGAN
t's easy when you aren't playing. Personally, I would have thought that Minnow would have been a good clue.
Yep Bob’s Gilligan’s catchphrase! if only Alan Hale Jr 👮♂️🫡made an cameo appear with his lil buddy would been a epic surprise💔👍 Rip too both
Her name is Carol Wells, and she did a 1960's tv show.
Correction: Bob Denver's first work as a mailman and he later coached physical education and taught mathematics at Corpus Christi School, a Roman Catholic elementary school in Pacific Palisades, California. He is a Loyola Marymount alumni.
I wonder how baked Bob Denver was...

@avdiz Yes that blonde lady is out of this world!
here on Gilligan's Navy
Thats why BD was Gilligan and not the Skipper.
I never realized that the skippers real last name was Hale and there was McHales Navy in the 60's. He was skipper on the wrong show.
R.I.P. Gilligan!
lol and on Gilligan's Island he says Skipper so much!
When you watching it on TV you could probably think of anything and everything but when you are on the show things happen because it's so much on you
A good clue: Jonas..
oh wow the host was such a serious authoritarian!
the host is Allen Ludden and he was married to Betty White
After the first clue, the only clue Bob needs is "Alan"
@fatmanfiftythousand Go back to 1:25 and you will hear Alan Ludden say "What Navy were you in...Gilligan's Navy" an obvious clue in itself so the word should have been thrown out.

Does that help?
You would get zapped because it's TWO WORDS!
haha gilligan looks soo smart with a suit!
Yeah, poor Bob is like "Boy, did I just Gilligan that one!"
Alan Ludden kinda seems a bit irritable.
it would be really funny if the other side of the island was Mchale's Island. And the castaways was just near sighted (and partly deaf)
Boy , did Gilligan feel foolish
@tryithere I think you're remark of "Now he is history" about Bob Denver is rude and thoughtless. The man is deceased, and he brought laughter to millions of people, and Bob Denver was a genius. RIP Bob.
I have the entire episode on DVD. There were a lot of references to Bob Denver's career.
I think after the clue "ships" and then "captain" the next clue for Bob should have been "slang" or "informal".
"Jonas"...2nd clue "grumby'
The truth is Bob Denver was a very well read individual, and if I'm not mistaken he had a degree in History. True, the use of the password "Gilligannnn" probably would have gotten the answer of "Skipper".
Possibly because they used to tape 5 episodes all in the same day.
Guess he smoked too much pot!!!
Bob Denver was a very clever man. Skipper is kind of a hard word to try to give clues for. He got it when the other celebrity said "slipper." I loved the look on his face when he said "how many times did I say that?"
hind site im sure BUT those were the worst clues EVER...!!!!
Man, he really is Gilligan!
Little Buddy
This looks to be about 40 years ago.
My dad was the announcer on this show: "The password is..." Thanks for posting!
Jim Vines Presents... Your Dad did a great job!
Wow... what a cool legacy.. and a BRILLIANT talent!
Narrated by
Jack Clark Lee Vines Bern Bennett John Harlan
What an iconic voice your father had. Thanks for letting us know.
Mr. Denver didn't look baked at all, glad he finally got it!
@TekelBrighteyes Rule was no proper names and that would've pretty much given it away flat out. It was harder because of Denver being there - Gilligan would be an easy connotation and therefore a potential cheat. True, the opponent may have made the connotation, but it still wouldn't have been as fair.
Who's that gorgeous blonde Carol??
Stevie Ray Gilligan.
@Gnillob802 Because they didn't want to give the game away. Obviously if he had said Gilligan, the game would have been over in two seconds.
Clues - captain, navigator, chief sailor ???
little buddy!!
The reason why he couldn't get the word was because he was HIGH !! smoked a big fat joint before he came on the show.
Sensitive much
lol "We don't like sound alikes".
GILLIGAN!!!
Wow, the host gave it away if you think about it when he said "Gilligan's Navy" at around 1:24. That was almost as blatant as at least a couple of Burt Convy's infamous moments. Thanks for the upload though.
I that, had the guy giving the clue said "Captain" in the nasal drawl of either Mr or Mrs Howell, "Gilligan" would have gotten it right away!
Skiiiiiiiiipppppeeeeerrrrrrr!!!!!
wtf, guy gives the same two clues like 6 times.
I don't think Password allowed names to be used as clues.
@Beautifulmusiclistnr Now he is history.
That was the best! 🤣
I'm surprised the gentleman contestant didn't say "Milionaire", "Professor", or "Ginger" as ciues.
@hankklink
A pretty rock... but not as pretty as
MrsChristinaJoy! She's GORGEOUS! (And way smart, too!)
He should’ve said “ships” or “captain”
All he needed to tell Denver was 'Catchphrase'!
@Gnillob802 Except this is the 1960s.
Once again the short bus to Mensa leaves empty
Anybody know the name of the female celebrity? Her first name is Carol.
Yes, I and 24 others who gave me a thumbs up agree that he's a comedic genius. Jack Benny was brilliant, and I loved him. Many people still watch Gilligan's Island, but not to many people watch The Jack Benny Show anymore, but I have some of his stuff on DVD's that I watch. Bob's timing and facial expressions were excellent. I didn't like his Maynard G. Krebs character, but Bob got stereotyped after playing Gilligan.
Lousy clues given.
Surprised nobody said "minnow".
Easy clues: Professor, Ginger... he'd have figured out the pattern by then..
RIP Bob Denver..... i luv u!
Host is a dufus!! Too serious!!
Could someone count how many times Gilligan said Skipper
@Lisaann11 turn up the volume.
@silentsniperrr One-word clues only.
Was it just me, or was alan kind of being a dee oh you see h?
The contestants should have said Gillagan
@Lisaann11 Bob Denver was just as stupid as his character. But the other guy wasn't too bright with his clues, either.
who is that beautiful blonde?
