Union card, ha ha. Nothing from a guild, sorry. But we'll let it go because it makes the show. If you would give those guys in the props department a raise, these things wouldn't happen so much, eh? IATSE rules!
In another episode, Gene noticed there was something wrong with one of the panellists' microphones, so he asked someone backstage to get him a screwdriver to fix it. He seemed to do a pretty good job with it.
I never watch recent game shows because they're too serious and filled with tension. They're all dark with intimidating music. It's a GAME and it's a SHOW. It's not supposed to give you a panic attack.
These little mess-ups are exactly what I love about seventies game shows. It's funny, and it's like, no pressure. Everyone laughs and everyone moves on.
Wow.. Gene came from an age in broadcasting where you had to know everything from writing to producing to engineering. And, he could still be hilarious.
you want A bye! hilarious :)

What did Richard say there towards the end?

I think he said, "This is a triple A (AAA) question?"

@ericandy88 No, he said "This is a Tripoli question" (a reference to an earlier gag in that episode).

I agree with you, ericandy.
I never watch recent game shows because they're too serious and filled with tension. They're all dark with intimidating music. It's a GAME and it's a SHOW. It's not supposed to give you a panic attack.

This is proof why game shows are too damn serious these days. Today, they definitely would stop tape & the viewers would never see mistakes like this.
How come game shows these days have to look & move so perfectly? So mechanical & lifeless!
