Bill Cullen had a very good relationship with Mark Goodson, as he appeared on many of the game shows Goodson produced.

The uncrowned King of all gameshows Mr. BIll Cullen, and the uncrowned Queen of early game shows Arlene Francis(Betty White took her throne in 1973 when Match Game came back)and he even predicted he'd work for Mark Goodson again, and he did, again, and again, and again and................

Bill had also been a mystery guest on the CBS version of WML. His falsetto was hilarious!

Nope, it was spelled Bert. Convy and Burt Reynolds had Burt and Bert Productions (or was it Bert & Burt?) in the 80s.

Never wild about Bill Cullen as a game show host, but you have to give him his due because he was there from the start.

That's probably the most I had ever seen him walk on camera.

Thanks for this man. I forgot to DVR it for that Tuesday night (12/27).

During his last appearance on television (in 1987 I think), which was as a celebrity player on "The $25,000 Pyramid", in between the two games, Dick Clark ran down a list of the shows Bill hosted over the years, after which Dick quipped "Bill, can't you hold a job?". In response, Bill said with a smile "Not one of those shows lasted beyond thirteen weeks". He did host a lot of game shows, didn't he?

Bill Cullen was the first choice to host Millionaire.

14:17 first time seeing Bill Cullen in Colour. I'm used to see the black & white Price is right episodes. Also that sounds like Johnny Olson narrating.

That first guest, the horse groom, was a real beauty. She kind of looked like a teenage Jody Foster.

Arlene F was on that first one. Noticing her gait etc....very good Edit, that man with those roller skates was an innovator. That's the precursor to the hoverboards we see now and those dangerous one wheeled things that I can't remember the name of that people get in the street with and go super fast now and end up in the hospital on....

I recall Bill and Ann appearing on Tattle Tales, and Bill appearing on at least two different weeks of Super Password. I don't recall any other shows where Bill and Bert appeared together, but it's quite possible Bill was the fourth chair at some point on the 1970's TTTT.

Great episode with "The Dean Of Game Shows"

It's strange that they start talking about a guest with motorized roller skates from many years earlier, to Bill Cullen, pretty soon after the man was on with motorized roller skates and no one on the show thought that was weirdly coincidental

Producers of every show Bill was in, had avoided his walk when they could. Having that limp from polio was nothing to be ashamed of, at all. Signs of the times then, I guess (or is it Eye Guess?).

Wow those roller skates! Lol.

It's hard to believe this was taped in March 1969 and Cullen (and this crew) did not yet know he'd be on To Tell the Truth for GT which presumably started taping in the summer. (Which might have been after some markets aired this episode because of bicycling.) Maybe they just weren't allowed to talk about it yet.

is waiting, to see whether Mr. Cullen walks out or, already, is seated. When he hosted a game show, he, pretty much, always, was seated, already or, took minimal steps, on camera. His childhood bout of polio left him with a pronounced limp.

Back in the Daly years, I’ve Got a Secret (as opposed to “Line”) was the vehicle to demostrate things like the skates. Seemingly CBS wanted to stress the mystery guest; and even then if there was extra time, an extra contestant would come on stage. Nothing wrong with that.

It definitely matches her appearance
