What's eerie is that she died in the same bed in a flat in London owned by fellow singer/songwriter friend Harry Nilsson where The Who's drummer Keith Moon would die in 1978, although he accidentally ODed, which surprised no one as he was a hardcore substance abuser. But poor Cass had heart disease, in part due to crash diets, and was not thought to have been of the "live fast, die young" mentality.
I'll say it was a good week. Mama Cass ("Dream A Little Dream For Me") Elliott, married couple (at the time) Brett and Jack, the classy Bill Cullen and Loretta Swit...oh, and did I mention Richard (who was on every episode until they changed the set, brought in the Star Wheel, and "Family Feud" became the big hit it was). :)
@@SandySaunders9142 He shouldn't have had to. I know she was known for being outrageous. but she should have known better than to make deliberately hurtful jokes.
I was very surprised when Richard Dawson made one, because he clearly liked her and was usually such a charmer. It just slipped out, I guess, and he apologized to her right away. I think he said to the audience something like "If you don't [stop booing her?], she'll come and sit on the front row."
Not always - it depends on who's on the panel and how drunk and/or slap-happy they are that day. Oftentimes they'll try to think of what the contestant would say based on what little they've gleaned about his or her personality or from previous responses.
@@sdlively27It was the '70s-drinking was more acceptable, and I think that the party atmosphere was encouraged by the show's producers. All of the articles I've read said that Richard-along with many of the other panelists-drank on the show (mainly backstage) but he never lost control and was so brilliant that he always had his wits about him, and what a wit he was! Such a sharp and sexy fella. A cherished TV legend and an admirable individual (a Civil Rights activist in the 1960s for one thing). If I drank, I'd propose a toast.😉🥂
Supposedly Bill Cullen had polio and when he hosted various game shows, he wouldn't walk to the podium or whatever, he was always sitting when the show began, but he was a very pleasant guy and a really good host.
I don't think Bill Cullen was at all ashamed of his limp when he walked. It was the game show and network producers who were, worried about making Bill look bad.
Probably a bit of both. While they separated shortly after this, Brett was always like this to other panelists. It was her schtick. Jack and Brett apparently loved each other even after separation; according to their son, they just couldn't live together.
MOMMA CASS WAS A INSPIRATION OF LIFE SHE DIED WAY TOO YOUNG CHOCKDED ON A HAM SAMMICH CAUSING HER TO HAVE A MASSIVE ❤ ATTACK REST IN PEACE 🙏 MOMMA CASS
Mama Cass was always pretty cool and she had a great sense of humor, she is most definitely a hippie. Hard to believe she died 40 years ago, she looked pretty good there. Jack and Brett split up after being married, but Jack never divorced her and never married again after breaking up with her. Brett passed away first too
I've heard of them, the thing is, a person can gain more weight being a vegetarian than being a meat eater. Things like bread, pasta, potatoes and rice have more calories than chicken or fish.
suzycreamcheesez Actually... all grains and root vegetables are starches. Oddly, I still can't believe that starches are harder to process into glucose than animal fats.
Shar Crum BECAUSE WE WERE NOT DEMOCRAT AND LIBERAL ASSHOLES THEN WHICH WAS THE BEST TIME NOW EVERYONE IS A ASSHOLE LIBERAL OH DONT SAY FAT, DONT SAY GAY, DONT SAY BOY OR GIRL.
No, "Mama" was a reference to the group she was in, "The Mamas and The Papas", not a reference to her weight. But she disliked it because she had become a soloist.
Goldstein-Osborn, round 1, question A: "Clark would never let him live it down: SUPERMAN UNDERPANTS." (Bzzt!) Round 2, question B (which, if memory serves, I ought to lay out, but that would make most of the rest of this episode impossible, so let's assume that I was in Cass's position last episode and then changed for some reason): "I don't know how he did it, but out of his FIREPLACE." (Bzzt!) Question A: "I never saw the show, so I played it safe and said a BEAR TRAP." (Bzzt!) First tie-breaker, question B: "And he never trusted Stuart again. PREGNANT!" (Ding!) Question A: "But of course everyone's heard the rumor in the reeds, how he's PART DONKEY." (Bzzt!) "You know, like Midas? His ears?… Oh, never mind."

Super Match, part 1: DITCH
Jack was Brett's husband and was rumoured to have begged for her to be a regular from the show's origin because he wanted to get her out of the house...They were a good fit as far as being smokers, that's for sure.
I always loved this show..but you know damn well they knew what questions would be used and mama cass would be on the show...I never heard a fat question before but now when shes guest starring,you know she had a lump in her throat...she had feelings...this was cruel and pure Hollywood! SMH!
+Jackie Phillips Good Point! I remember hearing the word "pregnant" on the show "Family" from Kristy McNichol, and I remember my mother made a "stir" about the word, and this would have been in about 1975. So, I think they were already saying the word by the early 70's, but that's a good point though!
Beautifulmusiclistnr I remember hearing the word pregnant in 1965 on Bewitched. As a matter of fact it was used frequent,y. Because Elizabeth Montgomery’s pregnancy was written into the show.
That is a myth. She was on a stringent weight loss regimen, fasting 4 days/week, and died of heart failure or heart attack. There was a sandwich by her bed, but that was not a cause.
Xander Taylor your wrong that choking on a sand which was her cause and they say heart attack because they don't want you to think she was fat and they say heart attack instead of choking
"They don't want you to think she was fat"? Anyone taking a passing glance at her can tell she's fat. Lots of people are fat --- what's the big deal? And BTW --- thin people can choke on a sandwich too.

Cash Elliot was so talented, intelligent and a really good spirit. Her life was cut way too short.
Cass Elliott is the best. She's one of the people I wish I had met in life.
Cass was really good at the game. Fun to have around.
she was better than the other panelists
Mama Cass, Hot Lips Houlihan, Oscar Madison and Killian all on the same game show panel. Gotta love the '70s.
In July 1974 Cass was on the Mike Douglas Show and hauntingly ,she stated that she would be turning 33 in September
She was an amazing singer and the brains behind most of the groups she was in - such a loss!
Cass is So Smart ! Love Her Humour 💖
My new favourite show.........MATCH GAME 1973.
Mama Cass Elliott is the only MG panelist in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
california dreamin..the mamas an d the papa's right?
Cass And George Elliot
I love Cass! Fantastic lady.
Only had about a year more to live. So sad.
Good ol' Mama Cass
Tube4life679 so sad that she didnt' live 12 months after this show :'(
Love her
Thank you so much for leaving the advertisements in tact. The Texas Instruments calculator was the funniest thing of all.
Hard to believe Cass would pass almost a year to the day later
People kept saying Cass choked on a sandwich, but her death was a heart attack, she was only 33 when she died a year after this was shown.
What's eerie is that she died in the same bed in a flat in London owned by fellow singer/songwriter friend Harry Nilsson where The Who's drummer Keith Moon would die in 1978, although he accidentally ODed, which surprised no one as he was a hardcore substance abuser. But poor Cass had heart disease, in part due to crash diets, and was not thought to have been of the "live fast, die young" mentality.
@@annika_panicka Keith Moon was actually 32 when he died, as was Cass Elliot. A very strange set of coincidences.
annika Keith Moon died from an overdose of Heminevrin a drug used to aid his withdrawal from alcohol. He was an alcoholic and not a known drug addict.
tjfSIM “Chills
She was 32! It was told out of jealousy and evil !!!!! This was cleared up about a year after her passing FYI. !
I'll say it was a good week. Mama Cass ("Dream A Little Dream For Me") Elliott, married couple (at the time) Brett and Jack, the classy Bill Cullen and Loretta Swit...oh, and did I mention Richard (who was on every episode until they changed the set, brought in the Star Wheel, and "Family Feud" became the big hit it was). :)
Jack and Brett never divorced, She died in 07 at her and Jack's home in Connecticut www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/brett-somers-obituary?pid=178148241
I love how Gene subtly cautioned the panel to not do fat lady jokes out of respect for Cass.
You mean Gene subtly cautioned Brett!
@@SandySaunders9142 He shouldn't have had to. I know she was known for being outrageous. but she should have known better than to make deliberately hurtful jokes.
he didn't want to take that chance!
Brett is very annoying. I did not like her sense of humor at all.
I was very surprised when Richard Dawson made one, because he clearly liked her and was usually such a charmer. It just slipped out, I guess, and he apologized to her right away. I think he said to the audience something like "If you don't [stop booing her?], she'll come and sit on the front row."
Per Wikipedia, "Four years later, The Who's drummer Keith Moon died in the same flat at the same age." as Cass Elliott. Spooky.
Cass Elliott was marvelous, so warm and exuberant.
Good ole day's of television in America ♡♡♡
Love it that you left the commercials in. Awesome! Those who don't like them can just skip them.
E
This is so funny even in 2020! 🤣❤️❤️
I like how they treat the contestants like a necessary evil rather than the focus of the game.
happens way too often and I do not like it
?

...and then they went home. 😆
I wonder if Brett and Jack klugman really are tired of each other or if this is just schtick

Yay, Antoinette! i want her to get the five grand.
R.I.P Mama Cass Elliot. You were loved and you are missed.
RIP Mama Cass even in the afterlife no one is getting fat except Mama Cass.

8:35-8:51 = The funniest moment for me. "No I won't do Chester again" lol I think Gene was making fun of Paul Lynde. Funny Stuff
Jason Francis it was not funny at all
@@spectrumlocalb191 Gene was doing Paul Lynde. It was funny.
This game show was done in the UK and was called Blankety Blank

My answer to the first question.
Batman: Please Robin, don't ever tell anyone I wear Grandma's panties.
Ha! Good one!
+MsTexas73 How about Batman was wearing Batgirl's underwear?
Walter Schivo Ooh, that's real good!!
I said a girdle
Too bad all but Loretta passed. They were great.
She is still alive she is 82 years
mama cass died of a heart attack less than a year after this..not choking on a ham sandwich like the horrible media said..
Mama Cass was always pretty cool and she had a great sense of humor, she is most definitely a hippie. Hard to believe she died 40 years ago, she looked pretty good there. Jack and Brett split up after being married, but Jack never divorced her and never married again after breaking up with her. Brett passed away first too
If Cass was a TRUE hippie, her changed eating habit would have shown on her body. Have you ever seen a fat vegetarian?
I've heard of them, the thing is, a person can gain more weight being a vegetarian than being a meat eater. Things like bread, pasta, potatoes and rice have more calories than chicken or fish.
Glenn Marshall bread and pasta are vegetables? rice and potatoes are starches.
suzycreamcheesez
Actually... all grains and root vegetables are starches. Oddly, I still can't believe that starches are harder to process into glucose than animal fats.
yes
How many times sit Cass Elliot on the panel ?
"everybody plays the game except Mama Cass"...do do do do do do do....(flute solo).
Good catch!
Antoinette Osborne is VERY cute!
Everything Cass appears in the host HAS to drop the word fat in one way or another.
This was really not nice.
The only panelist still alive is Loretta Swit.
I know, you are right---it is sad.....
Peter DiGaudio facts
She and Lee Merriweather would be in their 80s by now.
I can't believe they did a fat lady joke when Cass Elliott was on!

Everyone is so judgmental these days...
And don’t even know one another...(so much hate 🥴)
Last of days are “HERE “‼️🇺🇸🕳
I remember seeing her on many shows. There were ALWAYS fat jokes, and she was expected to just laugh along with them. Very sad.
The deputy on gunsmoke was actually named Festus not Chester
Wasn't Chester before Festus ?
Chester played the first 10 years before Fetus came along.
where is Gene's microphone.
rkteck1964 good prop for him!
Gene with the lapel mic !
By this time Cass Elliot had dropped Mamma. It was a reference to her weight. It's disrespectful to include that in the title IMHO.
No, "Mama" was a reference to the group she was in, "The Mamas and The Papas", not a reference to her weight. But she disliked it because she had become a soloist.
