Arlo Hults was the "house musician" (organist) on Heatter-Quigley's syndicated "PDQ" at the time, 'therealjoebloggs'. I don't know if he was also a part of Rex Koury's combo on "YOU DON'T SAY!"...

This show was a poor man's "Password". In fact, "Password" producers Mark Goodson & Bill Todman tried to sue the creators of "You Don't Say". Part of the settlement of that motion was a revamping of "You Don't Say's" set, so that Tom Kennedy was no longer placed in the center, a la Allen Ludden on "Password". For my money, "Password" was infinitely superior in concept -- and easier to play. Pure word association. "You Don't Say" was awkward, forced, and rather dull, as a game.
Actually, 'gym', Nancy Dickerson appeared at 4:25pm(et), right after "THE MATCH GAME" [the announcer would billboard, "This is NBC News with Nancy Dickerson...reporting from Washington"].
Recordman, you're right. You just can't get really good celebrities on TV game shows anymore. These celebrities at least had talent.
Besides not having these "Who's my baby's daddy shows?, there were no shows that featured child molesters, deadbeant parents, drug addicts, and lie detector test shows back then. We need a return to the glory days of 60's TV, when all of us babyboomers were in our kids.
I remember Pat Carroll and Phyllis Diller playing on this & the original 'Match Game."
Also, in its earliest years, in between "YDS" and "MG" would be a five-minute newscast anchored by Nancy Dickerson (later Floyd Kalber), who was one of TV's first newswoman on camera, along with Liz Trotta. Of course Martha Rountree started on "Meet The Press" with Lawrence Spivak years before that, and on radio, where Pauline Frederick preceded them all.
Here's the scary part-from the start of the NBC Peacock to the start of the show, do you see the clarity of a show that came out in the fall of '66?! How did they get an old show that vivid?!
I don't know why, but I remember the bouncy xylophone opening music score and the chalk-like title card spelling out 'YDS' more than anything else. That was part of my TV-watching childhood, along with the classic, blooming NBC peacock. This is great stuff.
Nice to see this. TV is in such sorry shape today with nothing but crap on. I only watch sports anymore. Everything else I watch on dvd. Thanks for posting this. It was a good game show.
I coundn't wait to get home from school to watch this show which was a definite favorite of mine! I could relate to you watching this show escpecilally as a kid.
"This is Tom Kennedy reminding you...it's not what you say that counts -- it's what you DON'T say!" What great memories! And that music by Rex Khoury (performed live on the set, not pre-scored). Wonderful! I remember reading somewhere Jack Barry served as an uncredited creative consultant to "You Don't Say!" while still in exhile after the Quiz Show Scandals.
I can't believe that this is the first time I've ever seen Mel Torme with his original hair color! Tom looks awesome, as well! I don't remember this game show, but it seems like a cross between Pyramid & Password??
I remember "YOU DON'T SAY!" every afternoon at 3:30pm(et), with its LIVE percussive music score, although I didn't see it in color {my family didn't get a color set until early 1972}. This looks like a 1967 telecast, although I miss the "Contac" commercial at 1:22 (I know this was a "Master Copy" of that episode, sans commercials, darn it!!)...VERY RARE, as neither NBC nor producer Ralph Andrews saved virtaully the entire run of the show, either on tape or black & white "kinescope" film!!!!
Actually, this copy has the original commercials, including that Contac ad. I just left it out because I didn't think anybody would be interested. I was wrong, I guess. :-)
@fromthesidelines What I remember is that the music that would play after a contestant correctly guessed the name, being played live by the instrumentalist in-studio ("Arlo" was his name, I believe, and probably not Guthrie either), usually was a comic nod to the name; the one I really remember was "Quasimodo"/"Cheer, Cheer for Ol' Notre Dame!"
I believe Tom's podium was moved to the side of the game table as a result of a lawsuit from Goodson-Todman because YDS! too closely resembled Password (in the early YDS! eppy Adam posted, the podium is in the middle ala Password).
Thank you, Adam Nedeff! You're an angel! I've been waiting for things like this for years! Please send more videos! I don't care what they are, as long as they come from you! I trust you! I'm a game show fan too!

Also, we don't need all these courtroom shows that have real-life judges; at least, let's give these classic game shows a 21st century upgrade!
