Only the host, Jim Mckrell and Michelle Lee are still with us. Great show; it should of lasted longer but network daytime was very competitive back then.
Hi there, I know that Celebrity Sweepstakes NBC Daytime from 1974-1976 is nearly all episodes were destroyed, but I want to see them so badly, So I want you or someone to upload Celebrity Sweepstakes NBC Daytime from April 1,1974 to October 1,1976 with All Episodes in Full Episode not to mention the other websites about this on video at Google Drive, Mega or OneDrive site for me please.
Ralph Andrews also did a remote to an NBC affiliate in a surviving episode of IT TAKES TWO, where the show went to New Orleans' NBC affiliate WDSU-TV, though all the contestants were from New Orleans instead of just the one from San Antonio seen here.
In my opinion, a host of a game show shouldn't fold their arms on camera like Ralph Andrews did at the beginning. It's a sign of negativity and nervousness. I get the feeling that as the packager of this show, Mr. Andrews realized he was in some hot water being unable to pay the bills.
I was 13 yrs old and went to a taping of this show circa 1976. At break time I went down and asked for Buddy Hackett’s autobiography and he said NO! Not a nice person.
What a bizarre show which, aside from the occasional rolling of the dice, seemingly had very little to do with the actual board game. Given that this was a pilot, who wants to take a bet that the bonus game was "rigged" - in that the $100,000 was likely under all the letters (or the contestants were told which one to choose) and that the fact a yahtzee was obtained on their "second roll" almost seems like the editing was a bit terse - making me think that the "second roll" was reshot multiple times until they achieved the desired result.
I remember when DC botched the New Year's Eve countdown when he tried to go back on the year after having a stroke. I admire his persistence but he really was too old at that point and should have passed the baton to Ryan Seacrest completely that year.
@@megamanj2004X Who would end up becoming a semi-regular panelist on the show, as well as its announcer. I'll be honest and say Larry can act, do comedy, and sing, but he can't announce a game show. I felt like someone such as Johnny Gilbert would've been a better choice, but would he have wanted to travel between LA and NJ back then? He did announce a lot of shows around that time period...
@@andrewschroy6368 Or much less produce a decent enough lasting game show either, apparently since he associated himself with Gary Bernstein, a seemingly questionable producer since not only did Yahtzee ended up mired in controversy and problems but so did Anything for Money too.
