$100,000 Pyramid - Nathan Cook - "Hall of Fame Books"? 📚📖🤔
HTML-код

- Nathan Cook and the contestant are playing for $100,000.
I believe that the category "Things that are Enshrined" was shown on a previous episode that same tournament. I think Nathan gave the clue "Hall of Fame books" for the category, but the contestant didn't get the category.
Keefe, being smart and remembering this fact, gives Nathan the clue only he would know what the heck it meant - "Hall of Fame books" - and instantly gets "Things that are enshrined".
Almost adjacent to how Michael Larson remembered the patterns on Press Your Luck and won over $100,000 by avoiding the whammy. Maybe this incident spurred Bob Stewart to invest in a greater number of rotating categories!

Everybody is freaking out after the win. Meanwhile, Nathan Cook is the most chilled guy in the studio! 😂
Great moment! One of my personal favourite moments from classic Pyramid!
Nathan was one of the coolest dudes ever. RIP
It's sad that Nathan Cook died shortly after this victory, and he was only 38, but it's nice to remember him in this moment.
What? From what?
@@allprog He had a serious allergy to penicillin that he didn't know about. A terrible way to go, and at such a young age.
What on earth does his death have anything to do with this though? I think you just wanted to provide this trivia fact lol
@@jjs1990 I hate to break it to you, but people die sometimes. Despite appearances to the contrary, even Dick Clark didn't live forever.
agreed, his was a brilliant mind, lost too soon.
A fantastic win from a brilliant contestant to a glorious actor, just marvelous!!!!!
@1.55: You'd BETTER give that man a kiss! Great work, Nathan!
Gotta love it when the numbers on the pyramid dance
when i saw enshrined i was like, she lost. and when he said it my mouth literally dropped open.
*FACTS!*
Keefe gave the absolute perfect clue though. Nathan Cook had things that were enshrined on another episode, and Keefe remembered that and gave the Hall of Fame clue that only Nathan would know.
1:44 YES!!!
Usually when they win the $100k, they jump and go wild
Nathan probably thought she simply collapsed!
My favorite part of this win is how Nathan Cook just looks down and stares a moment after Keif falls to the ground
Oooooh, she kissed Nathan on his LIPS!!!😮
You don't get to see that, most to often !!!. It really is Amazing.😀👍
She gave him one across the lips. R.I.P.. Nathan
This $100K win is notable, in that Keefe Ferrandini (the lady who won) was the only one in the Clark era of the $100K Pyramid to do so from the giving chair instead of the receiving chair
Shaggy? Compartments? Enshrined? Robert Cook is a top Pyramid player forever for those 3 categories.
$100,000 is 1985 is about $290,000 in 2023 in the inflation calculator
Nathan Cook was quite good when it came to using proper names for a specific category in the winner’s circle.
To this day, i'm still wondering how he got that last category!! When i first saw this years ago, i was like: "YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!"
Great win!!
“Enshrined in the Hall of Fame.”
Ask any sports fan, they know that phrase.
Definitely a very tough one. However a little luck was involved. This was not the first time that subject was used. Nathan Cook (the actor receiving the clues) had actually seen the previous episode with that subject and admitted he had used it as a practice category for himself in preparation. So when she was giving the clues, enshrined clicked automatically because he realized it was being re-used. Nothing wrong with that, but as I said, some luck was involved because if Nathan hadn’t seen it previously he nay not have gotten it.
I believe this was the fastest tournament of them all, lasted only 1½ days
It was.
It was and it was also the only time a contestant won $100,000 when giving clues
She is the only contestant in the original version to win $100,000 by giving. Her whole getting into the tournament is almost just as amazing
Keefe Ferrandini was a *"Pyramid" BADASS.* Definitely numero uno in my top five list of greatest contestants the show ever had! 💯🤓🔺️
There's not many better contestants.

Greatest Pyramid win of all time. Shaggy > Compartments > Enshrined.
The clue "Hall of Fame books" wasn't ipso facto illegal, whatever else was going on. The earliest book enshrined in the Science Fiction Hall of Fame ("A Martian Odyssey" by Stanley Weinbaum) was written in 1929 and enshrined in 1970. Enshrining books in the Hall of Fame at writers' conventions is something which actually happens. No one was doing anything actually wrong. I guess Keif was just grasping at straws at this point.
If she didn't correct herself and append "books," she would have been zapped. A "Hall of Fame" is, itself, a shrine, not something that _is_ enshrined. And by those rules, the "Hall of Fame" clue would go around the category and be zapped. Books made it legal.
@@NJAD0 Yeah, that is absolutely correct.
The thing is that was NOT the first time enshrined was used. Nathan Cook admitted that it was a subject he had thought about before this happened, so when she started giving those clues he realized they reused the subject.
NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. If you watch several episodes you will see several subjects are used more than once.
Exactly for instance in the 1st and 4th tournament win the category things in San Francisco was used in both tournaments
@@peterkrahn2224
Agreed. I think they also used things in Washington DC a couple times.
A wrong or bad clue is not an illegal clue. A clue giver could be mistaken about some thing - liked existence of a book Hall of Fame - and still give a legal clue from that perspective. If such a Hall of Fame were to exist - and someone else coming here suggests one does - then such an item would indeed be “enshrined.”
Ask for the opportunistic adding of “books,” there was another case, where a judge held off buzzing a clue giver, as if waiting for the clue giver to “finish” a clue.
There was a case for the category "Reference Books," and the clue giver said, "Law library." It was, indeed, confirmed by Dick that the judge gave her a couple of seconds to "finish" the clue with "materials" or anything of the sort before buzzing her. As it stood, a law library is not a reference book, and that clue could be seen a way of getting the recipient to say "Reference" without listing a book, or material, as it were. The judges were strict on that. The clue giver should've said "thesaurus, encyclopedia, dictionary, atlas."
Let's be honest. "Enshrine" is a very difficult word to get the recipient to say, as things that a clue giver lists for that category would also fit its synonyms. The thing is that you don't enshrine a shrine. The "Hall of Fame books" was the perfect escape clue. A "book 'Hall of Fame'" might be an iffy one for the same reason "Panty Dorm" was buzzed for "Things that are Raided": a nonexistent term to get the recipient to say "raided". Plus, the game deals with sounds. (FYI books titled "Hall of Fame" did exist in beginning in 1977, but we have the power of Google now; the judges didn't have Google in 1988)
@@NJAD0This was the hardest $100k BY FAR. Shaggy? Compartments? Enshrined? Madness.
There was another tournament win where the top box was “things that are bound.”
AfterDC said “HURRY” with four seconds left, she came up with “old fashioned Japanese women’s feet.”
Truth is, foot binding was a Chinese practice, not Japanese.
No buzzer, and somehow the contestant got it.
Shelly Smith was the only celebrity to win the tournament twice.
How long after this did he pass? Very intelligent man.
The original air date for this episode was January 19, 1988. Cook passed away that June, on June 11th. So, the answer to your question is just a bit less than five months later.
What he died of
1:54 There was a time -- not that long before this episode aired in the 1980s -- in which American TV wouldn't even allow a white woman *on stage* with a black man, let alone kissing!
A hall of fame inductee...
Keefe might have been the greatest classic pyramid contestant ever.
Hall of Fame books? Hey, whatever works.
Reese done good!
Whos the woman next to nathan
Why did Keefe fell off the chair and on her knees hugged Nathan Cook
Because she was in shock that she had just won $100,000.
The contestant has always had the option to give or receive. 99% of the time the contestants choose to receive, but this time she chose to give.
“Enshrined”?
Are you kidding me?
8 seconds to spare
That category did pop up before, but I don't think they'd use the same category twice in the same tourney week
If someone else out there has more episodes of this week and shares them, we could verify 😜
I recall reading about how they used the same category in the last week when Nathan was on, and he used the clue "hall of fame books" to describe it
@@JsClassicTV this tournament only lasted two days so if it came up twice in the same tournament thatd be kind of foolish on the shows part
He got it!!
Did they win the $10,000 on the second half of this show?

unfortunately they did not, the contestant gave an illegal clue while giving the clues in the winner's circle.
@@JsClassicTV he gave a synonym on the fourth category. I apparently gave the same clue too.
First trip to the Winners Circle was for $10,000. If they won twice in the same show, return to WC would be for $100k.
@@eddiebell9963 I know that.
If the $100k was on in the first half of a show, the second half was played for $10k.
Women were really beautiful and much more so in 1985 than today in August 2023.
Ummm... This is from '88.
The only $100,000 win from the Clark era not available is #11.
