Unfortunately, I don't. I hope some will turn up somewhere, however unlikely that may be. Two ABC primetime episodes of TPIR from 1964 are on the way, as soon as they finish uploading.
Bill had polio in one of his legs and the cameras were careful not to show his noticeable limp. I didn't know this until I attended a live taping of a short lived show Bill hosted called Winning Streak taped at 30 Rock in NYC's NBC studios. Bill was earning $300k a year in 1958 when he hosted TPIR. R.I.P. Bill
I was 2 yrs old when this aired. I remember my mother watching this show as I grew up, and then in turn, I did, and now lol, my daughter does now 😊
I forgot he was a host!
He was funny!
A new Daytime TPIR from NBC other than 1957! Let me know if you have any kinescopes of The Match Game from the 60s.

@SPNKr16 Don't forget working alongside Art Fleming on the original JEOPARDY!
The Voice of NBC…Don Pardo
Contestants on the Cullen-era TPIR were well-behaved and well-dressed.
I had almost completely forgotten about Sandran "miracle vinyl floor coverings!"
This a rare treat: Bill Cullen's era. A few years later, Jeopardy!s' own, Johnny Gilbert would not only announce but substitute host at least once

Sam Levenson was a well-known comedian in the 50s and 60s. Other guest hosts on the Cullen-era TPIR included Jack Clark, Jack Narz and Arlene Francis.
Stay tune for Truth Or Consequences next over most of these stations with Bob Barker who 14 years later would become host of TPIR
Boy, the times they have a changed! Back then it was a woman's dream to own a coat of dead animal fur, today, they're repulsed by it.
