My late father once rode an elevator in Atlanta with Carol Channing and some of her staff. He always thought that was his "brush with greatness" like Letterman used to have on his show.
Carol Channing was delightful-what a smile.
Carol plays this game well. She's quick.
Carol is adorable.
Thanks for this great post! Great classic game of Password...and I love Carol Channing's intonation and facial expression when she rendered her clue for the word "Wicked" 18:28
Hugh is soooo handsome!
Hugh is a American hero
Allen Ludden and Betty White were still engaged during this airing.
Love Carol and Hugh
I had forgotten how intense this show could be. Totally enjoyed it again.
I've never seen young Carol Channing before, she played well
Carol Channing is what the entertainment world is lacking today: someone unique and distinctive. All the females today on TV and in movies are interchangeable and dull.
That comment says more about you than about today's females.
@@parsonj39 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
5:12:
Carol: 'HO!'
I know it had a different meaning back then, but I cracked up when Carol said this.
Hugh trying to make the move
hugh is fun and georgous.
Murray is scaring me
Hugh O'Brien had those dimples and everyone made fun of them.
I saw video of Hugh not too many years before he passed, he really let himself go after being in such great shape early in life and during his performing years...so sad. I think for years he had the record of being the youngest Marine drill instructor in the U. S.
this seems before channing went 24/7 with her babydoll bimbo act...offstage she so different, real nice wise lady: relaxed
Murray liked to shake his head!
Did he have some kind of condition??
@@alanhumphrey4198 maybe…
Hugh O'Brian was the most handsome man on TV at that time. Well, this teen aged girl thought so.
So did this teenaged boy.
There is also PIttsburg California, if anyone cares.
Pittsburg Kansas also, Pa Pittsburgh ends with an H, if anyone cares ;)
At 11:18 Allan Ludden handed the clues to the wrong contestants. They should have rotated from the previous game.
Never had Noticed this before, but Hugh (kinda ,slightly) resembles Rod Taylor on occassion..
🤔 O.o
now you would say internet for explorer.
How did Hugh get “Popcorn” from the clue “Peanuts”?
It was a common snack back then….see Cracker Jacks
I was wondering the same, but the Crackerjacks jingle was probably pretty well known at the time.
"She's not married if she's a stewardess."
They have had black contestants from time to time! But, I know, not enough!
I don't LIKE it on EVERY episode when Allen says' "Ya better move on." I'm glad they didn't LISTEN to him; otherwise he would have lost 50 dollars!
the young guy likes to shake his head a lot |!!lol
Some of those contestants seemed a bit goofy.
I heard Carol Channing was biracial RIP
Her grandfather 1/2 black and she was part Jewish as well - she was just delighted and said "Part black, part Jewish...no wonder I made it in show business' Mae West was biracial but for her it was The Big Secret..
@@poetcomic1- I would have never guessed either woman was biracial.
Why doesn't the show ever display Black contestants?
Most of the integration you see in today's American media did not begin to happen to any significant degree until after two seminal events: the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1968 assassination of ML King. Before these two events black American citizens were widely restricted by both law and practice from full participation in most of American society - TV show audiences, TV contestants, schools, housing, jobs, patronage in hotels, restaurants, lunch counters, department stores, hospitals, etc, etc - this was the legacy of racism and Jim Crow that goes back to the founding fathers original amoral policies. The 1970's - literally 200 years AFTER the nation's 1776 founding - was the first decade where the Constitution and Bill of Rights actually began being applied more broadly to also include more of America's non-caucasian citizens.
This is why on this 1963 Password TV program you rarely if ever saw any black citizens as contestants or audience members. The policy of the day was exclusion...a gentleman's agreement between the programs and their heavily influential advertising sponsors. Corporate sponsors were major hurdles to black inclusion and participation, extending into television commercials and print ads, which excluded blacks. When million-selling superstar Nat King Cole merited a Television show in 1956, corporate sponsors united in refusing to sponsor the NBC show, forcing it off the air in its first year, despite high viewership and rave reviews.
When you engage American society before the 1970's, you have to understand that the laws and practices were very different, even if some of the attitudes remain the same.
"Display" them???
Carol Channing was very proud of her black heritage, so, you have one "on display" right here.
@@johnfd0210 - Technicality only. Carol Channing was indeed proud of her black heritage, but her black heritage was not known outside intimate circles and never publicized by the media, if it even knew - Channing was always given full white recognition, rights, access, and privileges by the powers-to-be during her career. So in "displaying" Carol Channing here, the show was not "displaying" anyone other than the standard fare.
BTW, Channing only opened up publicly about her black heritage in 2002, when she was 80 years old - after all her major achievements had been accomplished, and federal and state governments had revised or abolished their decades of codified discriminatory laws and practices.
Because not many applied to be on the show.
