I love the look Carol would give when she would figure out a word or when her partner did. She looks so innocent and enthralled. I cannot exactly pinpoint what it is exactly. I just love it. She acted very childlike, I guess.
Carol's second partner was hopeless, especially guessing the clues for Frantic. Carol was giving a hysterical performance for each of her clues for that word and then Alan King gives his partner the clue “Channing” who guesses it correctly. That was classic!
After watching a handful of celebrities play password for a few days, you can sure tell the 2-3 that if not for their celebrity job, would certainly go hungry on the streets. I realize the stress of the game and all but there were a couple that were just plain stupid. On the other hand, there were also some celebrities that surprised me with their broad knowledge and keen insights.
Sinatra wouldn't have been caught dead on a game show except "What's My Line?" but it would have been a hoot if he had been on this show and given the word "tomato." His clues: "Girl." "Woman." "Female." "Broad." "Dame."

Childlike is very much on point.
Carols hair is a mess
Carol Channing was one of the funniest guest stars on Password bar none!
No, that's reserved for Lucy and Gary
For "Cork" I was thinking of the synonym "Stopper"
I absolutely love Carol Channing

Frantic! Carol Channing! Ha!
Alan King's "come on down..." sounded like it foreshadowed The Price Is Right (Bob Barker, not Bill Cullen).
I love Alan King!! Kinda silly, but he always said "Watch the eyes"...
It’s funny to think that my grandma possibly sat on her plastic covered sofa and chuckled at this like I just did
After Carol gives the clue "poetic" for "romance" at about 14:05 there is an edit and back to Alan King.
I wonder what gives?
It made the audience laugh, no doubt. For CBS standards and practices back then a good guess is that she said "sex" or "intercourse."
Bless her heart, Carol's ditzy schtick wasn't just a schtick.
and you know this, how?

For frantic, I said firstly what won it, but whilst pulling (what hair I have left)!! Pity I don’t win $ on these old shows.
OMG oven and child were easy!!
Idents:
Formation (5 seconds)
Formation (10 seconds; partial)
Why was it necessary for Channing to insult the Florida park public relations man?
Ding dong. Looks like the birds flew out of the cuckoo nest.

Allen Ludden and contestants Ralph Hager and Walt McGuire: Separated at birth?
I think Natasha Lyon could make a good Carol Channing
For "wrestler", I think the clue "sumo..." could've gotten it in one turn.
Tomato is a fruit all seeded plants are..
What's with her hair?
The 60's. 🤣
Really though, at the end she says it is for the show "Hello Dolly" she was going to after the game. And the setting was from the 1890s.
The 60s, barbituates, alcohol and sex.
Carol Channing and her purposely ridiculous hair, bug me.
Are you a working girl ?
Innocence lost
SO...is she really African American?
Dead
Poor Carol Channing. Might be the worst player they have had. What a ding dong. Her team mates weren’t so great either.
Yeah, but she's still 10x better than Betsy Palmer!
Allen king wasn’t very good at the last lightning round! He should have said, letter and she would have got it!
Alan King is great. Carol Channing is irritating.
WOW! Carol was HORRIBLE in that first lightening round
Do you mean that she got darker?
Biographical.lol
