They weren't even MARRIED yet. Nor did they even MEET until she came on Password. I knew it already, but to make others happy (cause I've seen someone else say that), I Googled it again. So no, I highly doubt that he was saying that to his future mother-in-law since he didn't even KNOW here
Very cool to see this featuring Steve Lawrence DURING his song, "Go Away Little Girl," an enchanting song I've ALWAYS loved(!); & he's been blessed with that great voice which helped take it to #1!
I think Florence is one of the best players, she's quick, smart and plays sensibly, I'd rank her with Carol Burnett and Anthony Perkins as the best three. Wouldn't it have been good to see those three play a special password show? BTW I love the way women dressed in this era, smart, classy and chic but not too elaborate or overdone, or stiff. I loved Florence's simple updo and dress.
The really funny part of this clip occurs at about 17:00, when Florence Henderson had to get her partner to say, "bunch." Had this show been a few years later, the ideal clue would've been "Brady" ("Brady Bunch" being the title of the series Florence Henderson starred on).
Notice how Mister Allen Ludden snubbed Bossa-Nova, at 06:42 (... that Bossa-Nova thing...) Little did Mr. Ludden know that (besides Eydie Gormé's "Blame it on the Bossa-Nova"): 01. Three months down the road, Ruby and The Romantics would reach Billboard's Hot 100 Number One spot, with their syncopated, Bossa-Nova rendition of "Our Day Will Come", and; 02. The following year (1964), this musical genre would take the United States by storm, with Stan-Getz/Astrud-Gilberto, and "The Girl from Ipanema".
Florence Henderson 1934-2016 And since Steve Lawrence and his teammate never got to the 5th word when time ran out, it's probably why it wasn't revealed in this instance after that Lightning Round ended.
I find it interesting that when words like “bikini,” and “pajamas” come up as Passwords, no one uses “swimwear,” or “sleepwear” as clues. I can only assume that these are new terms that were not in use in this era.

We lost Steve on March 7, 2024. He was incredible singer, actor. He and Eydie stayed married till her death 2013. What a loss!!!.
Steve Lawrence was always so humble about himself. He was always so proud about Eydie too.
I have to say both Allen and Steve looked at Gail. She was pretty reminded me of Eydie.
I believe that Allen greeted his mother-in-law, who was in the audience, with "Hi, Doll!" It happened frequently; so sweet!
His FUTURE mother-in-law, as Allen and Betty weren't married yet. They married in June 1963.
They weren't even MARRIED yet. Nor did they even MEET until she came on Password. I knew it already, but to make others happy (cause I've seen someone else say that), I Googled it again. So no, I highly doubt that he was saying that to his future mother-in-law since he didn't even KNOW here
I really enjoy watching this game.
And I do have to say, Steve Lawrence is pretty cute
Very cool to see this featuring Steve Lawrence DURING his song, "Go Away Little Girl," an enchanting song I've ALWAYS loved(!); & he's been blessed with that great voice which helped take it to #1!
How times have changed. A song about a man trying to resist his attraction to a younger girl. That would not fly today.

I have always hated when the stars laughed and wasted time at the contestants expense especially during the lightning round
Betty White was my favorite...fantastic Password player!
The contestant Barbara won $500 after the 2nd lightning round. So given inflation, that $500 in 1963 would be worth $4, 054.67 today.

I was thinking about that.
Thanks for the keen observation,

@@joeambrose3260 You're certainly snide and unpleasant.
@@karendeaton9297and accurate.
Mrs. Brady! ❤
We know that Florence Henderson will become Carol Brady, on the Brady Bunch. She does not know that when this show aired.
Notice how Mister Allen Ludden snubbed Bossa-Nova, at 06:42 (... that Bossa-Nova thing...)
Little did Mr. Ludden know that (besides Eydie Gormé's "Blame it on the Bossa-Nova"):
01. Three months down the road, Ruby and The Romantics would reach Billboard's Hot 100 Number One spot, with their syncopated, Bossa-Nova rendition of "Our Day Will Come", and;

I always found Allen Ludden a condescending chauvanist.

Steve Byrd and
Florence Henderson is a pretty lady
Thanks!
Quite a natural beauty.
Not bad, but she's no Totie Fields
That hair-do was a hair-dont.
Whenever it showed Allen Ludden in closeup, his strong glasses made him look Chinese.
I was 2 years old at that time!
I believe you. Now what ?
Almost 6 myself at the time. A fun show for kids. Even in black and white.
Great.
How foretelling that Florence got the word "Bunch" given the show she would eventually star in.
No shit, Sherlock
@@joeambrose3260 Go away, you unpleasant little man.
Idents:
Casino (5 seconds)
Formation (6 seconds; partial)
It's too bad the show wouldn't come out for another 6 years, but Florence would have gotten Bunch with the clue, "Brady".
Weren't there supposed to be 5 words in the first lightning round. I only counted 4. Usually they show the 5th word as well. Thoughts?
I thought that she didn't get "mail". She went all the way around it. But they gave her credit for all 5 words.
Florence does look pregnant
There were only four clues, because they never made it to the fifth before the minute was up.
Wouldn't it be wild if steve said brady for a clue for bunch?? 6 years before that show even existed.
Allen don't tell Florence not to get angry. When your partner keeps overlooking the right answer to obvious clues you have a right to get mad.
That Barbara used a lot of gestures
So do Allen's children get along with Betty White
The dictionary doctor wasn't really needed for bad clues, as seen in later years of Password.
Now , I thought for SURE Florence Henderson would say Brady for Bunch!
She wasn’t a time traveler.
This was before that show
I find it interesting that when words like “bikini,” and “pajamas” come up as Passwords, no one uses “swimwear,” or “sleepwear” as clues. I can only assume that these are new terms that were not in use in this era.
I'm pretty sure the word swimsuit was around then. That's what I thought they would say. Maybe they thought it was two words, like bathing suit.
Yes I was thinking swimsuit, I suppose when you are under pressure something more obvious may slip the net. I thought atoll as well.
Their clues were from a hit song at the time. Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polkadot Bikini.
Didn't expect "bolt" to be so hard.
Women were known to be "expecting", never "pregnant".
I got smacked for saying pregnant. And i was talking about the neighbors dog.
Was this in NY ?
At that time yes.
No, Moscow
@@sst568 You're a riot, Mr Bill. You belong on the stage, the one to Albuquerque
In 1963, practically all tv game shows eminated from New York City.
Wait was that Bob Mackey?
8:35 Barbara is in the throes of ecstasy
clues for bikini: swimwear, female, beach
I know swimwear is never given. This has been a password more than once on this show.
Nobody ever gets the word "peach." Being from Georgia, I find this VERY strange! They could say...'fuzz' for the clue!
That look like a fake audience shot at the beginning.
Swimsuit !!!!!!!
Right or swimwear!! I thought right away! I thought, was that word not heard back then??
Island
@@m.e.d.7997 It was. On YBYL
Groucho asked a model " Were you born in that swimsuit or was it painted on ?"
@@sst568 ...maybe it would’ve been considered two words instead of one. It’s a compound word and not truly one word clue...it’s...🙂
After Florence said train, Steve shoulda said passenger
Steve's contestant Barbara didn't know what a rodent was😮
Funny when I saw bunch I wanted to say Brady lol
This episode was in 1963. The Brady Bunch didn't premiere until 1969.
Swimsuit for bikini
What a stupidly designed set: people frequently roll backward off the dais.
Only once.
Enjoyable game
Cringe for Steve's first lightning round. His clues were as dumb as a bag of rocks. Feel for his partner.
:’(
Why do we have to sit through that ANNOYING GSN garbage at the beginning?
The game is rigged. Her clue was "basement," and he implausibly answered "bargain." No way.
A bargain basement was a feature of many department stores. Don't judge a show as rigged, because of your own ignorance.
