A better time was when Jack Benny and daughter Joan were the guest players and the Password was "Miser". Allen and Joan cracked up. Jack didn't miss a beat: He gave the clue "Me" (his playing partner didn't get it)

Hostess? Stewardess? BAM Doctor Reason A Goodwin just shot himself! -fell out of my chair

Me...... HAM!!!!!!!

All those years of Password that I missed because I didn't watch it because I was young and those were adults. Now that I'm a very old adult, my goodness!!! Best kept secret is Password and other game shows during the 50s 60s and into the 70s. And now I can see why Alan Ludden was considered a great host.

??? I started watching Password when I was 5-years-old. I'm sure I didn't understand all the jokes, but I enjoyed the game.

In that last one, as soon as the audience started laughing Allen had to yell STOP THE CLOCK three times; here's how it went before the clock was finally stopped: FIRST TIME: guy who worked the clock couldn't hear him; laughter was too loud. SECOND TIME: host yelled the command louder; clock guy still couldn't hear him; audience laughter nearly drowned it out. THIRD TIME: host yelled the command to stop the clock over the audience laughter; clock finally stopped with about 47 seconds left. After the clock was finally stopped, the host said this: "You give a clue like that, you leave yourself wide open."

Listen closely, he actually said it 4 times.

9:08 It's always especially funny to see someone who makes a living making people laugh absolutely crack up.

2:06-2:25 Loudest lol I've had in ages. This fellow deserved double the prize for that.

8:27 He walked _right_ into that one.

"Dr. Reason A. Goodwin just sh*t himself" might be the greatest ad lib in history

4:28 For "Host", Peter Lawford gives the highly questionable clue "Hostess", but it is accepted. Then a stage light explodes off-camera with a BANG! Lawford: "Dr. Reason A. Goodwin just shot himself!" Apparently the clues were just too much for the good doctor!

The moral of this is what the Host says at 8:53. "You give a clue like that, you leave yourself wide open"

Not sure why Carol Burnett is listed in the description, she's not in the video at all. The "Frantic" incident was obviously Carol Channing, as her last name was what finally gave the contestant the right answer.

Carol Burnett is actually the woman you hear laughing in the last clip at the ham answer. She was the female celebrity in the episode opposite Alan King whom you see giving the clues.

Paar looked like Johnny

That was Jimmy Stewart 💔

that was funny!

So I'm assuming Peter Lawford had tax issues at one point?

The future MRS BRADY!!!!

One classic not on this video was when Jack Benny and daughter Joan were guest. The password was "Miser" (which the audience, Joan and Allen cracked up on). Jack did his classic stare and said "Me!" Even funnier was that the playing partner didn't get it.

The mischievously announced password STUPID was greeted with naughty audience delight when PETER LAWFORD was to give clues to his Rat Pack pal, SAMMY DAVIS, JR. Upon further hearing clues “dummy” and “dumb” Davis apprehensively warned Janet Leigh’s partner Polly Bergen, “If you say SAMMY, I’m leaving.”

Of the 20 episodes I last watched, my recommendations are: the PeterLawford/Sammy Davis/Polly Bergen/Janet Leigh episode, and Otto Preminger/Peter Lawford/Pat Carroll.I haven't been watching the wealth of more recently posted “Password” episodes for a “Stop the Clock!” sequel. Out of watching some 20 episodes posted at archive.org in 2015 I may have found a Sammy Davis quip borderline for inclusion. Binge-watching that batch, they over-used the same words, but it's not tee-hee funny seeing “lingerie” or “bikini” every episode, or “stupid” predictably whenever Sammy Davis is paired with Peter Lawford. In February 2017, 20 more episodes were posted at archive.org , which are likely here at YT, too.

Buzzr is showing Password Plus this week from 1979, and George Peppard is one of the celebrity players and he is seen on camera frequently puffing away at a cigarette.

I really thought that this was funny and being straight I like this either way. I also like listening to the old radio shows. Is there any chance that you can get more of this type; older game shows or even radio shows. I actually would like it.

Jack Paar was being a jerk at 2:02. The contestant had an easy win right there, but Paar had to be a jokester. It's only a fluke the contestant got it and won the round, but the vast likelihood was that he wasn't going to, and then it would have flipped to the other side for 9 points, letting them back in the game.
