I think that it's amazing that all of these stars (not these two specifically, but in general) are "playing" for only up to $50-- nowadays, they would have to be paid thousands just to appear!

@DragonSporks Celebrity contestants did receive an appearance fee--not sure of the amount but IIRC it was in the few-hundred-dollar range.

( 7:57 ) cringe. and this was one of Hal Block's stock in trade, big wet kisses on very classy ladies. Gil Fates wrote in his book that the man planted big wet ones on the likes of Helen Hayes and Sister Kenny, among others -- and once referred to a pretty young nun in full Dominican habit as "You doll."

Hal Block is a freak

Personally, I think the rocket scientist looked cuter, and if you think that's sarcasm, watch the video.

None of the other panelists liked Hal Block. John Daly disliked him as well. Daly would occasionally refer to Dorothy, Arlene and Bennett by their first names, but Hal Block was always 'Mr. Block'. Look at Daly's expression at 8:09, undisguised disgust at Block's crude behavior.

5:20 John couldn't wait to have a "small conference" with her!

Hal Block should have never been part of this great show.
