Michael Kosta from The Daily Show is trying to help a contestant win $50,000 for her wedding. Can they find their moment in the sun in the Winner's Circle?
This makes it the second "down to the wire" moment in the history of this Pyramid version! The first one was with Bellamy Young! Remember "Things You Flip"?
@@talleysuehohlfeld3959 Whether or not they would (I don't know), she might have _thought_ they would, and avoided it out of caution. At least it worked out!
Though I like this version of pyramid, the $20,000 Pyramid with Dick Clark will always be tops. It was taped out of NY. It was more exciting and I loved when the families would run up on stage when people won. Keep in mind $20,000 back then is equivalent to over $100,000 today. Also the Pyramid theme in the 70s was the best.
@@michaelhogg324 The $10K and $20K pyramids 1973-1981, (all Dick Clark), were taped in NYC at the old Elsie Theater in Manhattan. It moved to CA when they started the The NEW $25K pyramid in the 80's. The only exception, 3 weeks were done in CA in 1973 with all other shows in NY. In 1973 it was on CBS and taped at the Ed Sullivan Theater. When the show moved to ABC, it moved to the Elsie Theater.
@@michaelhogg324 No No No, I am not angry. If I came across that way, I apologize. Interesting, CBS chose the Ed Sullivan theater because the height of the Pyramid. When it moved to ABC, CBS did not want to give the set to them and ABC had to rebuild everything as I recall.
Well played - easy to get zapped on the sun category!! 0:37 - what is that sound supposed to be when the clock snaps into view? It sounds like water droplets and I don't understand it. It doesn't sound mechanical at all.
I’ve noticed the last few episodes I’ve seen (2021) on the Game Show channel that the contestants don’t hug or embrace at all if they win at the end. It takes all of the fun out of it 😒☹️
I thought ABC had cancelled season 5 of the $100K Pyramid in the 2019-20 TV Season due to the pandemic outbreak, but I guess they reconsidered it, and moved it to the 2020-21, Why is that?
The key word needs to be said, and it needs to be in the spirit of the Answer. "Sun" is the keyword, and protection of the sun is similar enough to blocking the sun that it was deemed acceptable.
She nailed it with that "Zinc Cream" clue.
Great job avoiding the traps on "Sun Protection Items"! It would've have been so easy to say "SPF Lotion" or "Sunscreen" and gotten buzzed.
Exactly: but I guess you could start using brand names like: Coppertone, Hawaiian Tropic.....
Ohh spf not allowed because the s stands for sun right? Just double checking
@@MuditVerma right!
I wise gotten buzzed & bleeped.
@@MuditVermaAnd the P stands for Protection. Two buzzers on that one-tricky!

Yikes, that sun category was hard. Good job on her for pushing through though.
Yeah! I initially thought: "Why didn't she just say sun block...oh right". I guess you could say "Cream with a high SPF rating"?
@@atomicagegamer3693 You can't even really say "SPF" since the S stands for Sun.
@@ThreeEyedPea I wondered if that would break the rule. UV cream might work. Her Zinc clue was clutch.
Lotion. Visor. Glasses. Dark Glasses. Car Visor.
@@atomicagegamer3693 In addition to the S being for sun, that's a prepositional phrase, which would be disallowed.
That was a close call
Don't forget a Narrow Escape and a Split Second Desition.
Good clues. Dark Glasses, coppertone lotion, a parasol. Umbrella is good, but a parasol is more associated with the sun.
parasol probably gets buzzed because it literally translates to "for the sun"
@@ProfGlitch do they do that with translations? I wouldn't think so
an awning

This was an exiting win.

The categories were more challenging in the old version too. If you view a few old episodes on CZcams the comparison is obvious.
DIck Clark's Pyramid was in California this one is in New York!

@@pebmets maybe cause when I looked it up it said they were taped in California not trying to get you mad at me

A wide-brimmed hat; a beach umbrella; a shady tree
The only thing I could come up with was “beachside umbrella”. That was a nasty trap of a category
Love the wordplay with the title.

0:37 - what is that sound supposed to be when the clock snaps into view? It sounds like water droplets and I don't understand it. It doesn't sound mechanical at all.
That was as last second as you could get.
Wow, right on the very last split-in-a-half-second, to the nose ... 👍🙂👍
I'm sure both Dick Clark and Bill Cullen (R.I.P. to both) were watching that unfold.
Great clues and lovely winner's circle!
But them $ amounts for each subject tho... compared to the 1982 version or 73 it is INSANE on inflation.....
Congratulations
"Sun protection items", but you can't say "sunscreen", "sunglasses", quite difficult!
I see what you did with the title. 😁
A Reflective Umbrella...these days,,geeze.
Yes
Can you post the Winner's Circle win with "Justin Timberlake's Private Parts" as a clue?
I’ve noticed the last few episodes I’ve seen (2021) on the Game Show channel that the contestants don’t hug or embrace at all if they win at the end. It takes all of the fun out of it 😒☹️
Question? Wth happened to the pyramid TV game?
a sunglass, a hat, a parasol, tinted window, curtains, so many things blocks the sun, she was hung up on cream. lucky he caught it.
1 / 0.5 seconds to SPARE!
Was this taped during the pandemic?
I thought ABC had cancelled season 5 of the $100K Pyramid in the 2019-20 TV Season due to the pandemic outbreak, but I guess they reconsidered it, and moved it to the 2020-21, Why is that?
The *"Pyramid's"* middle and top tiers are usually the trouble spots, trap-wise.
She should've said beach umbrella or parasol instead of umbrella.
She sounds like she’s on the game show Pyramid and giving clues to Trump
Wow down to the wire 😳 1min left.
He said "things that block the sun" not "sun protection things"??? I thought answers had to be exact, so why did she win?? 🤔😳
The key word needs to be said, and it needs to be in the spirit of the Answer. "Sun" is the keyword, and protection of the sun is similar enough to blocking the sun that it was deemed acceptable.
@@thechadmosher Thank you for clearing that up, I was wrong, sorry!
I fear 1:18 was going to be a trap.
She was smart to pass on it and think about it a little.
a ghost!
Coppertone.
That host didn’t let her finish her story. I can’t watch this because he is soooo wrong for this job.
It look like an edit
😒
