In the late 70's, McLean lived in these great apartments PEYTON HALL, on Hollywood Blvd and Fuller. I lived there too ( #PeterChaconas, #LateMrPeteShow) at the same time as did #RichardGuthrie ( #Days of our Lives) & #TimothyPatrickMurphy (Dallas, Search for Tomorrow). Also #DaveFleischer of Popeye fame.. His daughter Jennifer would visit and we'd see her out by the pool. Seeing her today 6/21/2023, was the first time in about 45 years! I remember going to our laundry room and pulling McLean's clothes out of the dryer & folding them when I put mine in.. It was a GREAT place to live
4:50 Interesting that Didi Carr would make reference on air to a blooper that happened 4 years ago that no one in the audience would have known about, and that she probably just learned about (from Richard?). What was her point? Or maybe she thought the audience knew about the blooper? Gene handled the moment well. I'm sure the audience at the time was baffled as to what that exchange was.
The time Gene meant to compliment a contestant's "dimples" but said another, rather embarrassing word instead, was an infamous MG event, one that has been mentioned on the show several times already. I think a lot of regular viewers would have known exactly what she was referring to.
H/H match update: ... ~~~Today's action: Gene starts the show off with a little fashion show. He's still proud of his vest, the material for which came from mainland China. McLean and Richard seem comically less enthused by it... Well, once again a champion is defeated for failing to give a classic MG response ("boobed" this time). She'd won a single game, but scored a H/H match with McLean for a total of $5,600. *Today's audience match question: "Spot________"* (My thoughts: Remover, On, the Differences) The celebs: Richard (Light), Betty (Remover), Charles (Check) The choice: Light (not the audience favorite) The answers: Light, Check, Remover - The panel had them all today!

McLean has had two attempts with one match. Didi Carr hasn't yet played a head-to-head question. *Today's H/H question: "_______Lawrence"* (Well, considering Vicki Lawrence was just on two weeks earlier - episodes 1241-1245 - and she sat right next to Richard, I have to think that her name might come to his mind.) Our new champion smiles and nods after hearing the question. Richard quickly finishes his answer, pausing to look toward Betty as he files his card. But our champ has a different thought: "Steve." The audience likes it: their response is an 8 or 9 on the positivity scale. Poor Vicki. No respect at all today. But at least the contestant wins! "Steve" is what Richard wrote.

This is very strange, because on the first question both of those girls had answered and gotten six correct responses! Love the vest that Jean is wearing very classy! It goes perfect with his tuxedo.
Has anyone else noticed the lieutenant was NOT amused with Charles? Madeline is so sweet, I don't think she was happy about didi commenting on her dimples
What's interesting is Google does not list Jennifer Stevenson under his children, only his son Jeff MacGregor. And his son only list McLean as a parent, no mother listed.
Baseball players Mickey Mantle, Willie Stargell and Johnny Bench as well as Lieutenant Commander Ernest Evans, the skipper of the USS Johnston (DD419) are all from Oklahoma.
McLean Stevenson’s biggest career blunder - leaving M*A*S*H. His shows after that…bombed. His daughter rocking the Star Wars shirt….cool! Ahhh the 70s.
That Vest could be used as LIBERACE"S PLACE MAT..LOL!! McLean would have made a Great Regular on the show. OH WQW,,, I;ve only been watching for nearly 3 hours. Time flies when your havin'''' fun!!
I'm sure Gene was very proud of that vest. He told the story of traveling to China many times. It was a big deal in the early 70's. He looks like he could've been a dealer at a casino.
Poor McLean, forever trudging through an endless parade of failed sitcoms. You don't leave something as excellent as MASH expecting to become a huge star like he did, sitcom Karma is a cruel mistress! ;)
Here's my take on that, if your present contract is up and you don't wish to renew there could be lots of reasons to say adios. Bottom line if your unhappy with your job it's not worth ANY amount of money to stay on
For the audience match you always go with the answer that gets the most applause from the audience, but they go with Richard, even if his answer gets no applause, because he's King Richard and is never wrong....except all the times he is. So the idiot contestant this time chooses his answer and only gets the $100 answer when if she chose the one that got the most applause she could have gotten the $500 answer and played for $5000 instead of $1000. I'll be glad when he's gone from the show. People will probably still call on him even when he's not there!

I'm so happy McLean came back. He's my all time favorite panelist. Cracks me up.
Per the Title, which is WRONG 🙄:
$1,000 with Richard!
The title has a question mark. Meaning Did she win $2,000?
This is very strange, because on the first question both of those girls had answered and gotten six correct responses! Love the vest that Jean is wearing very classy! It goes perfect with his tuxedo.
I actually thought of "Spot REMOVER"! 😏
Has anyone else noticed the lieutenant was NOT amused with Charles? Madeline is so sweet, I don't think she was happy about didi commenting on her dimples
Hahaha abount that lieutenant! His face didn't budge!
He didn't look amused. No sense of humor. I love Charles.
What's interesting is Google does not list Jennifer Stevenson under his children, only his son Jeff MacGregor. And his son only list McLean as a parent, no mother listed.
McKlean was perfect in MASH never knew why he would leave that perfection. Never did do anything else.
McKlean was jealous of Alan Alda and Alan was the star of the show
He thought he had a shot at The Tonight Show, as Johnny was contemplating quitting.
I love when the star wheel lands on Richard, defeating the entire purpose of the star wheel.
It won't for very much longer.

HAHAHAHA 🙄🙄
@@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687And the end of the show starts at that very moment. Brett is never heard from again. Happy?
I can't decide if getting the spoilers in the video title wrong is better or worse.

That was the best answer! Bernie the super salesman sold birth control pills to the Pope! (applause, applause, applause)

I know it was a different time nearly a half century ago, but I find it cringey every time Gene asks "What do you do, if anything?"
Roger looks like a young Dan Rather.

I can’t stand McLean Stevenson. He’s out for attention and won’t shut up.
Spotify....😁😁
Are you KIDDING me!!!!!
Charles was right. The wheel IS rigged :(
The nuts are posting conspiracy theories.
McLean: been out of work for three years, HMMMMM who`s fault is that Col. Blake!
They killed him off in a helicopter crash. Col. Blake was not coming back.
They made nine episodes of McLean's show _In the Beginning_. Only five of them aired.
He never found a vehicle after MASH.
first Q takes forever
McLean doing the game show version of calling out the wrong name in bed?
I assumed it was on purpose until he didn't do it again while apologizing.
I've seen guests on late night talk shows, call the host the wrong name, forgetting where they are.

I have to respectfully disagree. Go with your gut.
ROFL! Marc strikes again! ;0)
Gene said that he would have a face lift when the time came but that's how Joan Rivers died.
Did he really say that?
@@pencils812he said it in this show!
Pope Paul VI passed away later this year
Is it just the context, or are you suggesting that he overdosed on you know what?
Died August 6, 1978, less than a month after the show aired.
And what's the point?
McLean is dressed like Tintin.
