Give Tom a LOT of credit...it could not have been easy to fill Allen Ludden's shoes. On top of that, Ludden died during Kennedy's run on the show, which led to a very somber show on that taping.
The first clip features Wink Martindale & Gene Rayburn; second clip, I recognize Marcia Wallace, but not the other guy; last clip, I see Bill Anderson, but cannot put a name on the lady.
I don't like this part of the game, I prefer the simpler version and the lightning round. The reason is because its too easy to say the answer throughout this...as we see.
I never really thought about that. It makes sense considering both shows were on NBC, despite the fact that "High Rollers" was already cancelled by this time, I think.
The cross-studio fun DOES make sense. Especially since the next "Password" show on NBC, "Super Password," once used the four-note "Wheel of Fortune" category reveal stinger as a joke when Pat Sajak (whose quiz show taped across the hall) was one of the two celebrity panelists,.
RIP GENE RAYBURN

Tom certainly was a big enough man to poke fun at his brief slips. And it seems "dingbat" was not just Archie Bunker's favorite epithet. LOL

Dig the "High Rollers" drumroll at 1:13.

We did not hear a drumroll.

Listen closely after the crew member offstage yells the "Dragnet" dum-da-dum dum. A brief brrrap-bap on the drum.
davemock 3 years ago 2
It was loud and clear...

@BlackwoodCompany the drum beat heard there right before tom started laughing was the "board filling up" sound effect from High Rollers.

I think it was allowed because it was a name, otherwise we would have heard the illegal clue sound.

I like Tom Kennedy, but Allen Ludden in my opinion was better.
