Tic Tac Dough (1958)--Win Elliot's primetime version opening

[allenehrl]

Wynn Elliot was awesome. He had the most electrifying voice ever. Anyone who heard Wynn's broadcasts of NY Rangers' games in the 1950s and 60s heard the most electrifying sports announcer ever. His signature announcing tag line was "lines it up shoots, beautiful save, the rebound, score!!!!! You had to hear it to appreciate how great a voice he had.

The Original Tic Tac Dough did not have the Bonus Round with the Dragon. The Dragon came when Tic Tac Dough came back in 1978.

This was the next-to-last telecast of the series (December 22, 1958, not "1959"), originally in color. After this, Elliot emceed no further game shows, becoming a sportscaster instead, best known for his Saturday afternoon "RACE OF THE WEEK" broadcasts (for Schaefer Beer) in New York during the '60s, finishing his career with his daily "SPORTS CENTRAL, USA" broadcasts on the CBS Radio Network.

You Know I Don't Remember Tic Tac Dough (1950's Version) With Win Elliot.

The 1950s must have been a pretty good decade for tympanists in New York.

Win Elliot, during the 1960's and '70s, was an anchor and occasional play-by-play commentator for CBS Radio Sports. It's nice to see this unsung, yet talented, broadcaster, hosting a game show that ended up being tied in with the "Quiz Show Scandals."

And while I'm not one for coincidences, you got to enjoy the one about the contestant named "Dick Clark" [sp].

@byrd56 My earliest recollection of Win Elliott when I was a toddler (of all ages) was him was a commentator for a 5-minute weekly (usually on Saturday Afternoons) thoroughbred horse racing program on CBS-TV from the Aqueduct Race Track in Queens, New York called "The Race Of The Week".

@byrd56 yes, I heard that name, and was thinking: "the host of the American Bandstand..?" Of course, this was 14 years before any of the Pyramids, so I was waiting for him to speak..

NO, THAT'S NOT WHO I THOUGHT IT WAS...
