Imagine going through all the rigamarole of the many interviews and rehearsal games required only to meet fellow contestant Thom McKee! Oy!

The reaction from the warmup man at 8:50 is priceless.

Awesome 1981 game shows special video!!

Had never seen inside what TTD was really like then, and as such discovered that there's more to it than what we saw on the tube.

7:06, So that's how Wink and The Contestants came out until 1985, I really enjoyed this, good to see Behind The Scenes of the set

8:28---The Apple IIc computers that ran the TTD board.

Interesting how they laid out the 9 Apple II computers this way. I always thought at first they were contained within the board itself. To think back then how it took 9 of these computers all linked to an Altair interface to run that wonderful board we’ve grown to love, where nowadays any game show board can be run with just 1 ordinary computer

Announcer Jay Stewart 9:24, 9:36, 9:45

Do you have the other parts for this?

No

Mallory Geller won a car on “Tic Tac Dough” since he beat 5 opponents.

6:25 is Paula Zahan best remembered for CBS This Morning back in the 90s

Along with Richard Dawson era Family Feud, Joker's and Tic were among the first game shows to have contestant staff travel to other cities to find contestants, which Wheel and Jeopardy have done for decades.

0:00 “It all starts with a phone call…”

And the host then, Wink Martindale, will be 90 come 12/4! One thing also that I'm wondering-- in the part where it shows the contestants at makeup, did Wink go to that same area to get his makeup done before he went on?

No, Wink probably had that done in his own dressing room. The contestants and Wink are not allowed to be in the same area, with the exception of playing the actual game. If they were in the same area like a makeup room or a bathroom, it run afoul of Standards & Practices and would jeopardize (no pun intended) the credibility of Tic Tac Dough.

@@seancaruana4209 Did not consider that! I'm sure it was the same way with Jeopardy! w/the late, great Alex Trebek, and is still so w/Ken Jennings.

They need to do behind the scenes of $25,000 pyramid

Where are the first two parts?

Imagine going through all that just to be beaten by Thom McKee

Mallory Geller was a Tic contestant in 1979. The show at 5:25 being auditioned for was Bullseye with Jim Lange, which in its second year went to a celebrity format to try to help its ratings but it didn't help.
