5:34 Allen Ludden complained hear about having pain in his stomach area. He was diagnosed with stomach Cancer this year 1980 and then died the following year June 9, 1981... RIP
Walking dead 2nd time Allen has said that ,on match game in early seventies Allen said it again . He was ahead of his time and only if he knew,r.i.p Mr ludden.
Poor Allen saying he had pain in his stomach area when leaning forward makes me think he was already suffering from stomach cancer at this time and didn't know it.
He did know it, I think. He just didn't talk about it on air. I believe that he had just taken the month of April off while he had chemotherapy. Bill Cullen filled in as host, during the prior month of April.
This episode is from May 27, 1980 not August 1980. August would have changed the answer board in writing and also the flashing lights. A pick 1980 episode of Password Plus is definitely this one.
Unfortunately, there's no point in watching these anymore :(. The last 3 (or maybe even 4) times I was rootin' for the person to win, they move on to completely different episodes :(
