- 53 years after a 1966 New Year's Eve Dating Game show on which 18 year-old Jerry Mathers was picked by a young lady called Haroldine (named after her mother's brother who died two weeks before she was born) from among three child stars (also Eddie Hodges and Barry Gordon) to go on a three-night trip to London with a woman chaperone, Jerry and Haroldine have provided answers to popular questions and details about their experience together following the conclusion of the show.

This kind of post is a tonic. Given how much affection so many retain for the LITB show and cast, it's great fun to see their stars in other life contexts.
This is the first Haroldine I have ever heard of.
My guess is her dad said his kid HAD to be named after him...regardless!
@@frankgordon8829She was named after her mother's brother, who died two weeks before she was born. I saw this on another RUclips video.😊
@@jenniferhansen3622 Thank you!! I knew she was carrying the memory of someone.
@@frankgordon8829 No problem! I just stumbled upon another video where it was explained. It's a very unique name so I had to find out! 😄
June to Ward... I'm a little worried about the Beaver on that dating show on television 📺
I'd like to see Miss Landers on the Dating Game with Beaver, Eddie, and Larry Mondello.
I would like Miss Landers to be on the dating game with ME, MYSELF and I
Ahhh, too weird
Jerry was a good looking young man.
Johnny Jacobs, the off-camera announcer for "The Dating Game" and most other Chuck Barris shows, played a television moderator on a 1963 episode of "Leave It To Beaver."
"Beaver on TV", my favorite episode
@@jehobdenI like that episode too.😊
Have forever been a fan of Jerry Mathers. Saw original Leave it to Beaver as a child. So sorry things didnt go better for his dating game date!!
Thanks for sharing this! I love seeing these stars after their shows are over with.
Well this was a fun look back
This is in Color (December 31, 1966 at 7:30-8:00 PM on ABC), because The Primetime Dating Game was in Color from October 1966-January 1970 and The Daytime Dating Game was in color from January 1967-July 1973.
Barry Gordon(bachelor # 3)was on an episode of "Beaver" as a character named; "Chopper".
Bachelor #3 was also the voice of Donatello on the 80's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon.
Very heartening to hear that Mr. Mathers invested wisely in California real estate throughout the years and that he has kept the Beaver appearance income stream going. So many young celebrities end up tragically, as we all know.
lol "beaver appearance."
@@bigbrilonestar11 LOL!
Yes, he had a career move as a Commercial real estate loan officer as well.
He was very smart to invest in Real estate. Good job.
Yeah, but he always built a dam on the property.
Thanks for sharing the link! This was fun to see!
Thank you for sharing this! I love this and thank you for the additional information!
Neat story. I miss watching this show.
Wow, Jerry was flat out adorable!
Jerry has come out and repeatedly disclosed that she lied about her age. The problem came that when the passports were checked they found out that she was a minor. The producers had a major problem with taking an underage girl to Europe. An extra chaperone was added and the London schedule had to be completely changed which was a letdown for Jerry. No nightclubs, no adult parties etc. Jerry surmised that she must have created a fake driver’s license - to get on The Dating Game. Passports cannot be altered.
Yes, this has been widely reported for decades by all parties involved, including Haroldine sharing the story in radio interviews, etc. But the story about her tricking producers is bogus -- she had been on the show before and producers knew well she was only 16 then but they asked her back anyway. I chatted with she and Jerry a couple years ago and revised this video to share their stories about the whole thing, including them dating a couple times before they even went to London, and the chaperone who left them alone in their London hotel room, etc. Check out this link...

had no idea
@@shettrick Daytime or Primetime
@@meowkitty5588 Primetime, New Year's Eve special, which is why host is wearing tux. And it was a Saturday night
@@meowkitty5588 Primetime -- that's why host Jim Lange is wearing a tux. It's on New Year's Eve, which was a Saturday in 1966
That was neat to watch! I always watched The Dating Game when it was on.
Thanks for all the extra info.
#3 was my neighbor in Studio City. My early 20’s. He was in a movie with Jason Robars. All 3 young actors.
Great show

📺 ❤✌🏼🚬🥧🇺🇸🆒️
Wish the BUZZR channel would show these!
I recognize numb 3 as a kid who played chopper Jerry's friend from summer camp on 1 of the episodes. He also went on to play a lawyer on the Archie bunker show.
THAT was my thought also. Thank you 😊
@@cricketcustomer2164 salute !;! C. C.
@@danielfournier735 thank you
Beaver’s first grade teacher was a real beauty! ❤ Her stage name on the show was
Ms. Canfield (Diane Brewster)
Barry went on to do numerous TV shows and guest spots. He was Chrissy's secret admirer on an episode of Three's Company
Bachelor number 3, Barry Gordon played Beaver's friend Chopper on the Beaver's House Guest episode. I thought he looked familiar. They should have got Alan Roberts Costello, Chuey Varella, from the Beaver and Chuey episode to round out the bachelors.
Was in Alfred Hitchcock Presents, as well.
Also costarred along side Jason Robards in A Thousand Clowns, fantastic, largely unrecognized film.
I can add a few tidbits .He sang I’m Getting Nuttin for Christmas, and was in the Barney Miller Spin-off Fish.
He was also Chrissy's secret admirer in Three's Company!!
And he was a regular in Archie Bunkers Place and dated Archie’s older niece.
I've always wanted to know if she really knew it was Jerry Mathers just by his voice. A long running TV show aimed at her demographic. It is hard to fathom that she didn't have at least a good hunch.
Right, I was thinking the same. His voice hadn’t changed at all from the last few seasons, and is very distinctive
That WAS groovy!! 😂
Hmm...sounds like she was giving Beav the business.😊
Gee Wally, i got a date!
I wonder why the show opened with a 1970s Jim Lange, instead of the actual 1966 opening?
Interesting snippet of one tv star's life at a moment in time.
How Sweet.
That’s funny, “recommended for mature audiences “. I was watching this regularly when I was in elementary school
Beaver was a real stud. Jim Wang just went along with it.
I loved all three….
That was really groovy!
Haroldine...such a romantic name...and The Beave....what a couple
I wish RUclips would bring back that Halloween 1972 episode of The Dating Game with Vincent Price as a guest star and celebrity contestant who picked out a date for Janit Baldwin. RUclips will never say why they deleted that episode, but I don't think I saw anything to cause that video to be deleted from RUclips.
Wow cool story !!
Trying to imagine doing this show today...😱
The bachelor
@@ericrivera8410Try to imagine doing The Bachelor back then?! The censors would have NEVER allowed it. Back when young ladies were JUST THAT...and young men respected them for it! The Bachelor ( Bachelorette) would have had NO PLACE in society back then. Miss those days...and The Dating Game...
I've seen number 3 on old TV shows.
yes, they introduce each of them by their names at the end and mention shows they have been in
Scott since they live so close now, have they met up? It would be so cool to see each other again especially since both married and have families.
No, as it says at end of video, they never saw each other again. Probably most spouses and family members would think it was a little weird to go meet up with a girl you went to London with and dated when you were 18! Haha Here's an updated version of the video with comments from Haroldine and Jerry... ruclips.net/video/jm6-Oglkuz8/видео.html
@@shettrick My guess is that they probably have little or no interest in seeing one another again. If you think about, they probably would not too much to say to one another after initial greetings.
@@shettrick Scott your link led me back to the show again.
@@dolphingurls8204 It's a slightly better technical edit of the same video - sorry
@@shettrick I see. No problem :)
GREAT VIDEO ! SUNDAY 7/2/23 JULY 2, 2023
I see Barry Gordon, who was on Archie bunkers place in the series fish with Abe Vigoda
If you recall, the rumor going around in 1970-71 was Jerry Mathers was killed in Vietnam. Obviously not true at all but I remember people saying that back then. If I recall correctly, Jerry was in the Air Force or Air National Guard. Also, Leave it to Beaver was pretty close with their timeline. The show ended in 1963 with Beaver finishing 8th Grade. That would mean he would graduate High School in June, 1967.
Yes I recall that and it still gets brought up many times, and some people still believe it. As for his Air National Guard, yes, I referenced that with photos as I interviewed him recently near the airport base where he used to serve... ruclips.net/video/J61DwW_X0Gg/видео.html
I was taking training at Fort Bliss Texas (El Paso) during the summer of 1967--a few months after this Dating Game. Some members of my outfit accidentally ran into Jerry on Fort Bliss at the time, but I never laid eyes on him. I thought Fort Bliss was purely an Army base specializing in Air Defense, but it's certainly possible JM may have received Air Force training there--or maybe he was actually in the Army National Guard like I was.
@@carllafong4791 Jerry was in Air National Guard and stationed for a time in Van Nuys California where you see pictured here at beginning of my recent video interview with him... ruclips.net/video/J61DwW_X0Gg/видео.html
1966
The Beave was looking good at 18
Jerry was a really handsome young man.
If this was taped 2 weeks before New Years' Eve 1966/67, then Barry Gordon was also a minor that day, since he was born Dec. 21, 1948, though he would've been 18 before the trip.
Haroldine was even way younger than that -- WAY under age
Bachelor #3 is Barry Gordon, he was on Leave it to Beaver.
Chopper was his name.
#1 has a Martin Milner look about him & #3 has also been on a couple of tv shows but I'm not sure which ones
Barry Gordon (#3) in addition to being a popular actor was at one time President of the Screen Actors Guild (the one that almost went on strike recently).
#3 was on Leave it to Beaver. He played Beaver's friend Chopper. 2:54
Eddie Hodges auditioned for The Monkees.
Should have waited on Jim Lang's intro of him
Marlon Brandoey is a huge plus.
Bachelor #3 is an actor ,also. I saw him on tv shows before but don't know his name
Yes, they introduce each of them by name and give their acting credits after Haroldine chooses Jerry
Aww Heck Beav
Why do the other two guys look so familiar?!?!
Edit: Oh….okay. Never mind. 🥴
Ok people. Does Beaver here look more like JFK Jr. or John Astin?
Groovy
Ahhhh I was born in Dec 66!
#3 became extremely successful in show business. Look it up.
yes, he and all three were introduced as successful actors
#3 was on the Donna Reed show other shows
Barry Gordon never was in the Donna Reed show he appeared in a episode of leave it to beaver and shows like Dennis the menace
he was also on Archie Place he played Archies accountant also dates Archies niece ( disney movies with kurt russell)I think
i loved the episode with chopper
Also guest stared on Leave it to Beaver as Chopper from summer camp!
He was on Jack Benny's show as a kid.
Primetime
is that the guy from chips? number 1? who is the 3rd guy actor???
Was #1 an actor also?
Yes, if you listen to it , they introduce each of the contestants and say they are each actors
@@shettrick the intro did not play. It just had Jim Lange go here they are, then right to the girl
@@markcornish2519 right, I just posted 8-mins of hilites from the show, not the entire half-hour
She wanted Eddie Haskell 😂😆
No, if you read her comments here when I discussed it with her, she didn't know the show very well and didn't know who any of them were, but quickly got a crush on Jerry - she had been on the show several times and she told me she was only 15 and went on several dates with Jerry after this show before they went to London; he even came and met her parents. But by the time they got to London, Jerry seemed to think she was too young for him, and Jerry told me he wanted to explore the pubs on his own without Haroldine's chaperone. They didn't see each other after they returned from London.
@@shettrickI know dude I was just joking 😂
I wonder if this was rigged. It didn't seem like any of the three distinguished themselves in any special way and her picking Jerry Mathers seemed to be just random to me.
Nope, not rigged - here's what she told me she was thinking and what Jerry told me he was thinking during show and later together on their date... ruclips.net/video/jm6-Oglkuz8/видео.html
"Number 3 describe number 1's ears..."
"Oh, they are amazingly pointed... It looks he would be
automatically hired if he applied for a job as an actor
on Star Trek. Man those things are pointed. I am sure
he probably is human but barely."
Groovy…..
My mother would have never let me leave the country with anyone. Lol
She got excited because she thought it was Tony Dow lol
You obviously didn't read her text response in the video where she told me she didn't even think about Tony Dow at all
Jerry was way better-looking than Tony Dow ever was.
she reminds me of MARISSA TORMEI.
Odd seeing the Beaver in color.
What a wonderful time capsule of memories of two shows combined! Jerry was handsome!
beaver looks like a kennedy on here.
Was Haroldine also 18?
No she wasn't. Not even close
Here's an updated version of video with comments by Haroldine and Jerry about their date... ruclips.net/video/jm6-Oglkuz8/видео.html
She had a wonderful head of hair!
Wasn't bachelor #3 on Beaver as a child?
Yup, he was Chopper
Jerry sure grew up to be a real Clod!
That’s not very nice. His interviews clearly show a kind, down to earth, genuinely nice person, unlike some former child stars. We can’t all be perfect physical specimens. He’s had some major health issues. A person of depth looks at the heart, not at the outward appearance, especially if you don’t know what he’s been through in real life.
@@A2D4 You don't know my story with him. Take it from me He treated me like S - - t!
Haroldine RIP
Yes, thank you -- she died in August 2022
I would have enjoyed seeing the commercial.
There're all actors!
yep, that's how they are all introduced
@@shettrick Didn't catch that.
Wait, is that Chopper on the right? I hope he doesn't get the weepies.
That's not what I heard
Beaver 🦫
Great 📺✌🏼👏😃🥧
A birdie told me that Jerry’s date lied about her age and was a minor, so they needed 2 chaperones. True story not sure if I’m supposed to say who told me.
Here's what she told me she was thinking and what Jerry told me he was thinking during show and later together on their date... ruclips.net/video/jm6-Oglkuz8/видео.html
Three guy are all actors
yep, that's how they are introduced
Wrong aspect ratio...should be a definite square!
I'll be happy to see you post the correct one
Haroldean was a pretty lady.
She looks way older than him.
Opposite -- she was way younger than him, only 15 years old.
@@shettrick I'm just saying she LOOKED older than him.
@@kristybates2500 Ah, gotcha
@@kristybates2500 It was the 60s hairdo lol
I'm curious to know what Haroldines fathers name was...? I'd also like to know if she ever gave Beaver any beaver. It was always one of my favorite shows!!
Haroldine.....what a putrid name. As for the Beav gettin any Beav, anything is possible.
Haroldine's father's name? Why?
@@kahlesjf Harold?
Dean. Harold was her mom.
@@kahlesjf They probably wanted a boy and changed the name last minute to make it feminine, poor girl😂
She was hoping it was Lumpy.
Or Whitey.
Weren’t they all actors?
yep, that's how they are each introduced
Bad sound quality.
I'll enjoy seeing your superior quality video of this episode -- until then, nearly 100,000 people have enjoyed watching this video I made myself on a Betamax videocassette recorder in 1980s and resurrected as best I could; Jerry Mathers and the woman Haroldine also enjoyed it and thanked me
That would be real groovy. Must be a California thing. East, we didn't use that phrase. Found it a bit....goofy.
Not sure how old you are, but "groovy" was used by many people in the East U.S. in the '60s.
Oh no chopper too the nestlie quick rabbit
The males were so short back then. The gen z looks 5 inches taller. Try getting a date now at 5'6'' or 5' 7''.
The questions were stupid. So was bachelor number one.
Chopper!
you know this was rigged before hand
Nope, if you read the text with the video from both Haroldine and Jerry, it was not rigged. Haroldine was only 15 and had no idea who the three bachelors were
Jerry was 18? He looks 15!
And she looks early 20's...young women (and men, and their counterparts in the early-mid 70's) tended to look much older than they actually were. I know ..I was there...
Haroldine?? Harry for short.
Gee, Walley I'm sexier than you or Eddie....
Cute Girl, I like the Bobby hair style on her, cute face & personality, very wholesome. Not very often. I see these girls, kinda wish I could go back in time for ❤
So basically this show was fake.using TV personalities like Tom Selleck for example.
??? Every game show has celebrities at times, especially for special primetime holiday episodes like this one. How does that make it fake?
Selleck was on the show twice when he was in college, but he wasn't well-known then. He lost both times.
wait, what? the beav grew up to be pretty hot!
