Hullabaloo was the name of a theater in Hollywood. I read that in the mid-60s, it was named for a Los Angeles DJ, Dick Hull I believe. From the late 50s to the early 60s it was called the Moulin Rouge, and was home to the show "Queen For a Day" with Jack Bailey. It was later renamed the Aquarius Theater, where "Star Search" originated from in the 80s. I believe Chevy Chase did his short-lived talk show from there as well.
Whoa... Gordon Shumway, better known as ALF in the upper left. I came to this show back in 1986 BECAUSE it was a game show, but that Melmackian, with his ever-innovating presence was the reason I stayed glued to the show! He, besides Shadoe, was the Best! Square! EVAR!!!11 :D
Great Prize that has a secret square featuring a non-trip prize, wishing there will be Hollywood Squares episodes with John Davidson with a Secret Square prize that NOT includes Trips (I Wanna see one with furniture or kitchen appliances)
@VikutaaChyaaruzu - the best damn NBC President to ever run NBC! Too bad Brandon's not around anymore. If he was still alive and still running NBC, NBC would be kicking ass in the ratings, unlike how NBC is nowadays.
I barely watch NBC these days. There's hardly any good shows on TV, and the old stuff gets squished and sped up to make room for more commercials (hint: GSN does it a lot). "The Price Is Right", "Wheel of Fortune", and "Jeopardy!" are at least worth watching in my opinion.
If I do watch any NBC programming at all, then it's reruns of "Late Night with David Letterman" that aired on WWBT 12 Richmond.
@VikutaaChyaaruzu - or these days "Sunday Night Football." Used to watch "Deal or No Deal" in its 2 seasons (but grew tired of it due to its increasngly inane gimmicks) and "1 Vs. 100" w/ Bob Saget.
I'm no football fan (unlike my stereotypical beer-guzzling deadbeat dad who walked out on my mother over a year ago), but I do watch a few games every now and then.
NBC Nightly News with Gordon Shumway LOL...
