[dagdogg]

Didn't Felschergo on to produce Dawson "Family Feud" in the 1970's?

Jim Perry looks lllike a teenager here.

I have fond memories, as a child in the '60s, of being fascinated with Québec game show Cherchez Le Magot, airing on Télé-Métropole. (Now TVA) I loved it, but was too young to accurately remember it. Watching this clip, it became obvious that CLM was actually a French version of Money Makers. blanquepage, thank you for allowing me to finally learn the rules to CLM.

The game had an interesting conundrum: do you place numbers to maximize your award, even if they're on an already-populated line?

He looks kinda like Paul Simon at 0:46.

This was before Jim started hosting game shows in the US and Canada. He just started hosting the Miss Canada Pageant. The Canadian game shows he hosted were Definition and Headline Hunters

I once watched The Money Makers[The New Bingo At Home] in the New York metropolitan area on then Metromedia Television affiliate WNEW-TV/5 New York City when i was 12 years old!

So if you have a zero in your phone number like I do, you couldn't win?

[someguy23475]

@someguy23475 Have to take that back. I found my complete copy of this episode, and a zero pops up once.

Monty Hall hosted a show like this very early in his TV career called "Bingo At Home" for DuMont.

Jim Perry looks alot diffrent than what he looks like when he hosted Card Sharks and Sale of the Century.

[Nickle98499]

@edvideo1978 True, he did look a lot different then from when he hosted those two shows; however, oddly enough he sounds the same here as well as when he hosted Sale and Card Sharks; I guess his voice didn't change that much between 1969 and 1978(when Card Sharks debuted).

[NakedReporta]

@edvideo1978 It's the hair. Not only is he sporting the slick Vitalis look, but he's going prematurely grey. He had grey hair throughout most of the '70s as a Canadian TV personality (check him out hosting "Miss Canada 1973 Part 5. - Final Walk, Crowning Moment" at age 39), but dyed it back to brown just before getting the Card Sharks gig.

[BlackwoodCompany]

That was kind of unfair that the middle player won on one question.

[fatmanfiftythousand]

@BlackwoodCompany How?

[PRuss34]

How did you find this video and what year is this from?

[blanquepage]

It's from 1969. No comment on how or where it was found.

Even on this show, Jim Perry proves how excellent of a question reader he really is.
