I love how so many of those Lizzie Borden clues seemed so easy, and in the end it didn't matter which ones they gave because Spoiler #1 had absolutely no name recognition when Alex gave the answer.
Gary Giardina was also a contestant on Jeopardy (another Alex Trebek hosted game show), in 1986; he was a five time champion and went on to become a semi-finalist in the tournament of champions on that show.
He was also a contestant on The NEW Tic Tac Dough with Wink Martindale, he appeared on the 2nd Season and he played 7 tie games against George Allen, even though he lost, he ended up with $1500 for those 6 ties and he was a whale of a competitor
On the Bob Hope question, the second clue that is shown is labeled as number 3 (6:30). Also, on the dare, it sounds like Alex says, "You have five seconds, Bob" instead of "You have five seconds, Bart."
I know that this may be a strange question, but THIS Double dare Version had NOTHING to do with the other Double Dare Game show which would be on the Nick Netwok starting in 86?????
I imagine this must have been a pretty demanding show for the technical directors -- they had to always be on the ball to make sure the sound in each contestant or spoiler's booth was turned on or off at the right time. Any mistake might have given an unfair advantage to one of the players.
This really is a pretty good television series. I wonder why it failed? It requires a fair amount of intelligence and luck, the prizes are reasonable, and it's suspenseful. Maybe in that period people were looking more for celebrity game shows like Match Game or common sense ones like Family Feud. Had Jeopardy been revived by then?
Well, sort of. IOW, two years after "DD" was cancelled, a short-lived redo of "Jeopardy" hosted again by Art Fleming premiered at about 11:00 AM Los Angeles time. It didn't last very long.

@@michaelglickman1300 I can't see Alex Trebek covered in Gak. Marc Summers barely managed it himself. He was known to be OCD. Would be funny though. It would've been interesting to see Alex Trebek on Nickelodeon in any of their game shows. He'd be perfect for Make the Grade. The Teen tournament for Jeopardy! was around in the late 80s Dick Clark would also be interesting to see. He already had done a version of the Pyramid for kids on ABC and CBS. It could have worked in the 80s and 90s, probably early 2000s.

If you want to see Alex Trebek ESPECIALLY warm & fuzzy, watch Classic Concentration -- "a Mark Goodson Television Production" from the late 1980s until about 1990 (remake of Concentration from the 1970s with Jack Narz).
Diane you didn't look hard enough. To the right of this video are at least 3 episodes that featured female contestants. granted males did dominate the contestant pool on this show.
Look at that hair on Alex!
Thanks for sharing the classics Buzzr!

Double dare was the best game show of all time

Yeah, he really gave George a (literal) run for his money!
this is a great game show

I would say it failed, because it was “high brow”, but was mostly pop culture crap questions. Not the right mix.
@@jaredbaratono897 You might be right, lowbrow daytime shows did better back then.
Gary Giardina was later on Tic Tac Dough, Child's Play, and Jeopardy!
Ah okay.
How did he do on each one?

Gary's Question: What are public toilets?
CARD SHARKS theme (same producer). pretty good show, unsuccessful.
+notgrillo collector/ gamer That's because this show's theme song would become the song associated with Card Sharks when it debuted on NBC in 1978.
+Alicia Chea Ironically, the tune's composer, Edd Kalehoff, also composed the theme to the other "Double Dare" on Nickelodeon.
I realized that

so many fremantlemedia logos on this channel
That's because Freemantle now owns the whole catalog of Mark Goodson / Bill Todman productions.
Seems kind of boring being shown the answer at the start, would be good if the tv audience could be trying to guess the answer as well.

Alex was so much better in his early career. Too serious and glum on Jeopardy.

is it just me, or why have NO women appeared on this game show? I just watched several episodes, circa 1976, 1977 and nary a female. . .WTF???

Hey, Diane! Here ya go! ruclips.net/video/qPChf5ap2Yg/видео.html
I'm fairly sure the very first episode had a female contestant if memory serves.
Did you even bother to look? Many of the episodes feature women.
there were women on the show.. they all just happened to dress as butch lesbians
