This is the NBC network version from late 1977 which is dedicated to that legendary daredevil Evel Knievel...and no mention of that infamous baseball bat incident! Panelists are Jaye P Morgan, Pat Paulsen, and Pearl Bailey.

  • 9:26 - I believe the "nun" is perennial CBP announcer Johnny Jacobs.

    9:47 - And I'm almost positive that's bandleader Milton DeLugg as "Old Droole."

  • @TJOPootertoot She committed suicide.

  • So sad what later happened to Chuck's daughter.

  • The prize winner is Bobby Hill ! !

  • @BognarRegis I agree with you Bognar, the Gong Show could be very funny;I wonder what happened to the Gypsy Rose Lee kid also.

  • Thank you so much for posting this!  Talk about memories. I haven't seen the Gypsy Rose Lee kid in decades. This was essential afternoon viewing back in the day. :)

  • 1977 was not by any stretch of the imagination a kinder, simpler, gentler time. but culturally, the usa's tv-viewing public appears to have been much more broadminded.
