Darlette Yee (not sure if I'm spelling the first name correctly) I never met. However, her mother was a teacher at Dahlia Heights Elementary School in the Eagle Rock suburb of Los Angeles, where I attended from 1977 to 1980. When I told Mrs. Yee I saw her on Joker! Joker! Joker! she was as nice as could be. Darlette attended another school. My neighbor across the street, who was 11 years younger, had Mrs. Yee for kindergarten.
As far as I know, not many episodes of Joker! Joker! Joker! are known to survive. Much less, in such great condition! What was Jack Barry like to meet?
Jack Berry was great, the only thing I remember when he came over to talk to me after the show was that he would ask me a question, but wouldnt really listen, like he was pre-occupied and just asked the questions as formality. Dont remember much of anything else.
I would have loved to have been on this, as I was 10 years old in 1978, and I've always loved anything Jack Barry and Dan Enright produced. Unfortunately, to my knowledge, the syndicated Joker's Wild didn't air in the market I grew up in (Springfield, MO), although if atmospheric conditions were just right, we could, on occasion, pick it up on channel 11 out of St. Louis, where it aired at 9:00 PM every weeknight (yes, I grew up out in the sticks).
Ishan, watching your game, you should've played a bit more aggressively with the subjects you knew. Your deciding to play for lower stakes may have been safer, but it allowed your opponent to catch up and overtake you. Was that strategy intentional?
@@Ishanamin Indeed. Of course, I must give you the benefit of the doubt. You were young, foolish, naive, possibly nervous. At least you got your color TV that you wanted, $1,225 in cash (a lot for a kid your age), all those other things for your room, and $500 for your education. What happened to the cash and the color TV?
That would be a fantastic treat,but actually,Mr.Snoop Dogg is doing the Joker's Wild on TBS,and this is in my opinion is going to be complete success.THE JOKER'S WILD is one of the greatest game shows ever on TV.
@@Rlotpir1972 Correction.Snoop Dogg's version didn't fail.In fact,I even saw some shows and he did a terrific job as it's host.They should bring him back to host the Joker's Wild again.I like that awesome magic box and that "Slang that Thang".He looked awesome as a Joker,but I hate that meaner,uglier looking devil.Mr.Snoop Dogg,don't let the critics say it failed ,because they don't know great talent and you sir have excellent knowledge, talent,ability and showmanship.They're crazy.
@@Rlotpir1972 They didn't have a problem when it was on TBS.Also,you're forgetting that Mr.Snoop Dogg is one of the many talented,amazing game show hosts ever,awesome athlete and would make a fantastic deejay at parties.His version of The Joker's Wild was not a failure,he did the absolute best job possible.I enjoyed it ,whether it's too much hip hop or not,the show should stay on TV (TBS,MTV,really doesn't make a difference as long as it NEVER gets taken off the air.
Ishan, I am curious (because I grew up watching Barry and Enright shows), did the producers tell you to look into the camera, act surprised, and smile a lot? Did they also tell you to shake hands with your opponent a lot? All contestants on Barry and Enright shows seemed to do this, whereas contestants on other shows did not always do it with producers like Goodson-Todman, etc. Merely a curiosity on my part. I would have been two years old when this came out, and I still probably watched it. Thanks for sharing this clip.
Yes we were told to greet the opposite player during rehearsal in backstage. I don’t remember being told to look into the camera but I do recall the statement of stating focused on Jack Berry and don’t look into the audience during the game. The lights were so bright on the stage. You really couldn’t see the audience anyway.
@@Ishanamin Thanks for the reply. On the regular Joker's Wild during the bonus game, Charlie O'Donnell (or whoever the announcer was) would describe the prize package, and the contestant would keep their eyes squarely focused on the camera as if their reactions were for the camera alone. But I can see they did not do it that way for the bonus round on this version (Joker, Joker, Joker), so this did not apply to you. Glad you had fun. I was once on a game show (TPIR) back in 1997. You never forget it.
They totally should. I'm sure finding these people wouldn't be too hard with Facebook and LinkedIn and do an adult version or do their kids now.... I was trying to find the kids I played but I wasn't sure of their actual last name spellings..."Darlette Yei" / "Guy Berlliner" / "Mathew Browne"
Yes, I couldn't remember the exact year.... I recall I was in 3rd grade.....and you're correct this is a rerun that aired on GSN. We didn't record it in the 70's as we didn't have a VCR.
And you know what, the first time GSN reran this, during the Dark Period, they left in the fee plugs, but after that, the fee plugs were totally chopped off, mainly is because of the "jokes" that were very annoyed. I wonder if Juvenile Jury gotten this same treatment as well.
When this aired I was the same age as these kids who are competing. So very smart youngsters. The only complaint I have about this is that idiot that’s a game show network keep sticking in there and making lame comments and jokes. It really takes away from the episode. I’m not sure what the people at the game show network was really thinking.
@Briguy52748 Still the comments that are inserted are pointless and I do not add to the episode. As I stated in my original, they actually take away from it.
Well, the original airing didn’t have that annoying guy. When this originally aired in 1978, my family didn’t own a VCR so my dad had the recording outsourced to an outside agency because they owned a VCR. It was only years later that we got a VCR and we put the tape in and it was blank!!! We were all dumbfounded. We pay a company $500 per episode to record it, and they gave us a blank tape, never recorded. so move forward 20+ years and I find out that GSN, (Game Show Network) is airing JJJ at like 5 AM on Saturdays so I would wake up every Saturday at 4:30 AM - get my blank tape and VCR ready for recording if I see that I'm on that episode. My finger was ready to press record if I was on that episode, if I wasn’t, I went back to bed. Finally one weekend, after like waking up every Saturday for three months, I found out that I’ll be on the following weekend because I recognized the kid I played in my first session, (the kid with the nanny) so when I finally recorded it GSN had all these annoying comedic overlays and yes, that annoying guy coming in. So in a nutshell, the original airing didnt have it but the one from the late 90's did.
With a mother AND a father being doctors, you'd think they'd work on his tongue to clear up his lithp. Whoever added the stupid comments off to the side of the screen should be castrated.
I wonder when it occurred to someone that Satan might not be a good mascot for a TV show? Also giving a 12 year old white kid the "new" Lou Rawls hit album is almost as bad as Satan Worship!
I used to love this show when I was a kid!
I love this show I wish I could bring it back
Yosemite Sam!!!, great video, thank you

You did a great job. I think they should have taken "dish" for the correct answer.
Jack Barry had a gift for talking with children.
If you remember Juvenile Jury, Jack has done this a long time
He had a children's show in Canada at one point, and it was pretty good.
Boy, those kids were terrific!
Terrified; just like card sharks
The show should've been called "The 'Kids' Joker's Wild" and had a longer run on Saturday mornings.
I remember this game show since I was 5 years old loved it used to watch it with my grandmother
Awww How cool is that, Ishan! You were so cute, congrats on your winnings :) I've always been a Joker's Wild Fan.
Thanks Melody - It was a fun time...
Wow, coolness
I'm surprised that Allen Ludden hosted a version of the Joker's Wild as well.
Great show
Well Done, Ishan!
Sounds like the boy is ordering his "mail order bride" 15 years in advance!
Weeeeeeeeeeelll!

The show was called Jokers wild
All episodes of Joker! Joker! Joker! exist in Sony’s vaults.
@@DingoplexorYes, but JJJ was the spinoff kids' version, as seen here.
Awww! They're my age! Should be 53 this year.
I always wondered if they had the categories on a card to the left of Jack so the contestants can recall them if they decide to go off the board.
They did not. it was hard to recall.
Good win, Man!
Joker Joker Joker, was the kids version of The Jokers Wild
11:05....ok, if you can spell your own name....you win every prize we have ever offered.
17:35 - I think that's Jay Stewart leading the applause.
JOKER, JOKER, JOKER IS THE YOUNGER VERSION OF THE JOKER'S WILD

How long did Joker Joker Joker last on the air?
oh brother, those jokes from the green ball and Adrian are so horrible
10:42- OH NO! NOT THE DEVIL!
Oh, you weren't right at the beginning. I'd love to hear how you got on the show and what was it like for you.
Oh that is you as a child. Nice!
@@zacheryalderton4600 I was a baby when this episode came out
Did your father allow you to have the television in your room?
boy i can't figure out why mr. improv chiming in from time to time is not a world famous comic by now....
Yeah, he had me rolling on the floor with laughter. 😊
That kid’s parents were so busy they sent the maid. I didn’t care for him I was glad he lost.
I thought the show was punctuated "Joker! Joker!! Joker!!!"
That's correct, it was punctuated like that. I didn't add it to the title like that as no one searches with punctuations.
“Wellllll…”
I want the one with the kid who wants to be a game show host
"You mean like me?" - Jack Barry
Can you email buzzer if they can put Joker Joker Joker?
The Sequel To Joker's Wild!
NOT a sequel -- a SPINOFF catering to children.
Does the ending get cut off?
yes, I think thats all I had

buzzer needs to being the two jokers to their channel if you know what i mean
Joker is owned by Sony, Buzzr is owned by Fremantle.

I dont have anymore....thanks

I wonder what the kids from this show are up to today? GSN should do a ushered are they now on the kids of Joker! Joker! Joker! What do you think?
They totally should. I'm sure finding these people wouldn't be too hard with Facebook and LinkedIn and do an adult version or do their kids now.... I was trying to find the kids I played but I wasn't sure of their actual last name spellings..."Darlette Yei" / "Guy Berlliner" / "Mathew Browne"

cool

Burn. Major burn.
Hope your dad gave you that money!
