The guy playing in second half with Jack Parr is my dad. Thanks for posting this. This was before my memory of him but it’s great to see him in his younger days! :)
Thanks for uploading for us to enjoy! This was taped after Jack Paar had turned over the hosting duties of "The Tonight Show" to Johnny Carson. That's why he pointed out that being one night a week on TV was more relaxing than being on five nights a week.
I had to shake my head at Jack saying the word-not once but twice! And some of his antics, especially at the end, had me laughing. Peggy is a pretty good player. And those kids were cute! Great episode!
STOP!!!!!! If you're gonna use that language, why would you even WATCH a family show like this. Why don't you watch all the vulgar game shows, ike the stupid new Match Game (and probably every other new game show)
This episode was rife with screwups, not only with Jack giving away TWO puzzles,but also, the judge allowing the clue implement to solve instrument. Since they both contain a form of the word. Boy I'll tell ya, sometimes I'm kinda dense but Jack was really out to lunch
Jack Parr is incredibly charismatic and fun to watch, but it's clear that he's completely out of his depth against Peggy here... Even the kids were playing the game better than him, haha! I'm glad that he finally managed to pick up the slack during that last round, though. (Edit: he *significantly* improved by the time he played against Betty White the next year, so hooray!)
I understand that we're talking 1962 so I'm not sure but wouldn't SOFA be a synonym for couch even back then? Surprised Alan Ludden didn't try saying that (over "psychiatrist")
@@lukeheaton5336 sorry about that, actually, I had meant to say "sofa," but my stupid speech-to-text had written the words "so far" and I had not proofed my comment because I must've been in a hurry :-). Thanks for the heads up; It's been corrected 🙂
@@lukeheaton5336 Hey Luke, I actually did not feel that you were shouting at me but more expressing what really is a very correct answer/clue! I did goof with not proofing my speech-to-text there, LOL! Thank you for alerting me to it :-)
For "fan" I might have said "blades" then "spinning" and then "cool" or "cooling" or even "cooler." (Of course I wouldn't say "fanatic" because the word "fan" is contained in that clue :-)
@@johnsarkissian5519 not bad; I personally would not equate "ventilator" with "fan." That said, that's not to say that it wouldn't work for the players here.
voicetube, It’s rather interesting that the cognates of ventilator in many foreign languages (ex. Italian, French, Russian, etc.) simply mean “fan”, generally referring to the electrical variety, not the handheld one which usually has a different name.
Who in the WORLD would think a gift set of Encyclopedia's is a GOOD gift?! :( he gives the adults 100 dollars for when don't win anything, why wouldn't he do that with the kids (ESPECIALLY teenagers)
I don't think it's as good this way. I wonder if they'll go back. The trouble is, if you get a star contestant who isn't very good (like Jack) you're stuck. You don't get a chance to try with someone else. Plus, I liked getting to know the contestants!
A relative of mine was star of a big variety show on TV. I was backstage when Paar was a guest star. He was so nervous before going on I thought he'd collapse. He was unprepared, not the least bit funny, and was never invited back to that show. His late-night TV show wasn't funny at all. Nothing near Johnny Carson, because Paar didn't relate to other people. It was obvious that he stole most of him mannerisms from Jack Benny, his mentor. This show is a microcosm of what he was like-a jerk.

P S I love how Dad and Peggy Cass were playing off each other!
What a wonderful way to remember him.
🦉 That is so lovely for you and the family to have such memories !! Blessings from California. 🦋
Is your dad the contestant named Wayne ? If so it is funny because l am Mary , and my dad’s name is Wayne ! 🦋
@@marycook1644 Yes, that’s him! And my mom is named Mary! :)

I love Peggy and Jack....this has been hilarious....awesome clean family game show
That boy truly was bright!

Kate Luxor on the first Password Plus episode, Allen said that Jack Parr used to say the Password all the time.
The kids are usually smarter and better educated than many of the adult contestants.
"That's a great clue, Jack!"
- Allen Ludden
I really enjoy when they have youth playing the game 😊
Jack Parr is hilarious😂
Oh Jack - Well, overall, I dearly enjoyed this video very much!
I suppose it's Parr for the course that Jack would say the word out aloud!
These 13 year old teenagers are now 72 years old!
And one of them had a set of books that taught her lots of facts and helped her write term papers while the young man had some $$$ that was spent ...
Faithful .......And how fun would it be to see your grandparents at this age🌼
For, "Couch" I'm wondering, didn't they had the word "Sofa" back then?
has nothing to do with "back then." They simply didn't think of it. Just because a word isn't used doesn't mean the word didn't exist "back then." lol
@@waldolydecker8118 OK, got it. BTW, No need to make me feel bad, Waldo. Come on; there are enough trolls on the internet; play nice.
@@marycook1644 That's your opinion and you are welcome to it, Mary :-)
@@marycook1644 actually I had a look at the comment again and that was one of the points which actually make it a slap in the face. Have another look.
@@voicetube - fair enough.
We don't want children to win too much money, so we give half to the library. 🤦♂️
I love how the off-camera gentleman is trying to keep himself from losing it at 4:50. Anyone notice that?
The end 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Put Peggy Cass up against Buddy Hackett, they would tear the set apart.
As I do when I take off my hat, you make a good point!
I fucking love this. I was totally born in the wrong fucking time. Fuck the world wide web, I want to see Allen Ludden live in 1961...

"star of stage, screen, and television." Such an old fashioned way of speaking.
2:49 and 4:07 A pair of "PASSWORD" mishaps from Jack Paar!! 😂😂😂
Jack Paar was actually very intelligent. But you'd never know it from this show.
Have to admit, everyone was so well dress back then. Today, most people look like they just cleaned out the garage.
Yeah, black t-shirt, worn-out jeans, sneakers, and a baseball cap worn backwards.
They also knew what a participle is.
This episode was rife with screwups, not only with Jack giving away TWO puzzles,but also, the judge allowing the clue implement to solve instrument. Since they both contain a form of the word. Boy I'll tell ya, sometimes I'm kinda dense but Jack was really out to lunch
JACK WAS FUNNY!!!
Think about it...How often is the word invention used in 2021....

I wasn’t shouting at you! Sorry if it came across that way! I used CAPS as a way of agreeing with you…sofa is the obvious choice. Enjoy the day. 😁

Apparently Peggy Cass thinks of a couch as a day bed, not a sofa.
..lol.. that Jack is HILARIOUS 😂
ok

How about “ventilator”?
@@johnsarkissian5519 not bad; I personally would not equate "ventilator" with "fan." That said, that's not to say that it wouldn't work for the players here.

@@johnsarkissian5519 okay, got it. Perhaps it would've been the perfect clue.
“Oscillating...”
I thought couch was a sofa, not a bed. 🤔
Poor Anita having to play with not only someone so dumb, but who doesn’t even make an effort.
I hate him
"Biden behavior" at 13:55 My Grandma's response at 24:53 would have been, "Who's 'she'? The cat?"
Jack Paar got a little too silly for me near the end..
She's 13!
Who in the WORLD would think a gift set of Encyclopedia's is a GOOD gift?!
:( he gives the adults 100 dollars for when don't win anything, why wouldn't he do that with the kids (ESPECIALLY teenagers)
I was right with her for “lawful, lawful, and eagle.” So sad.
STICK EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DUH couch would've been SOFA
Hmmmm, new partners for each game....

Love Jack Paar but man, he ain't too bright.
What's the deal with Jack Parr's lips?
Bad video....
Is he drunk? Lol
Hate to say it but Jack Paar sucks at this game while Peggy is a pro.
That Jack Paar is terrible. Zero points in two rounds

Wow jack par was stupid.
