The Hope Lange connection here. Charles Nelson Reilly co-starred with her in The Ghost & Mrs Muir as he held the card "Welcome Mrs Muir". Hope Lange was an assistant when Gene Rayburn hosted The Sky's the Limit on WRCA-TV in the mid 50s.
Happy Birthday!! Be on the lookout for the other episodes from this same week. I was able to upload 2 today. I should have the other 3 up later in the week.
That was such a crock. The panel didn't give one good answer and neither did the audience that gave those stupid answers. What about "The San Francisco Treat"? "The San Francisco Giants"? "The San Francisco 49er's"? Come on! The San Francisco Bay and Bay Bridge? I call bullshit. Their audience polls are as skewed as political polls.
The cast of M*A*S*H didn't much care for him either. They called him "The Bulldog" and were happy to see him go. He's a lot like Brett Somers, a very abrasive person that tries too hard to be funny.
SEXXXY PATTI DEUTSCH 🙋 and [ Hometown Pittsburgh Native ] .... CHANGED IT UP HERE ON THIS EPISODE, FROM: ( UPPER FRONTALS ) TO ( CHESTAL AREA ) Hahah ! .....
The object of the celebrities is to match the contestants and vice versa. But these people's egos are so gimungous they need to get the big laughs, fuck the contestant.
I realize that this was a totally different long ago era...however, Gene's "tradition" of greeting new female celebrity panelists by taking out his Binaca breath spray and kissing them on the lips comes across as disrespectful at best, assaultive at worst. I wonder how many of those women went along with the "tradition" but inside their minds they were really uncomfortable, even disgusted? And Gene's wife, I wonder how she felt about it.
