When I was a kid and home from school early I turned on the TV and watched what I thought was a goofy show for the first time: Name That Tune . When Kathy Lee began to sing I was stunned. To HELL with the game show! I just want to hear her sing! I thought she the real deal and turned out to be correct.
I was one of the contestants on Kathie Lee Gifford's audition tapings. Mr. Ralph Edwards wanted to make some format changes to the $100,000 Name That Tune - including adding the 'La La Girl'... They brought back two former contestants for the test... and showed the completed product at the "PREVIEW HOUSE" on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood. LOL... they opted to keep her around but not me :^)
I didn't know there was a Second Chance tournament on this NTT. It was a great move though, on their part. As for the Lange NTT, I grew up with that version (watching it on USA and later on Family Channel). On the other hand, I've recently watched a few remaining episodes from Kennedy available, and It's great. A great show from an excellent (and one I've underappreciated--until now) host in Kennedy.
I did Kathie Lee's audition tape! that is the first time they taped the LaLa girl in front of a live audience. I've asked Ralph Edwards team for a copy of the tape - they are claiming it has been lost. I would LOVE to see it!!
Well you should make sure that you have a backup generator so power does not completely go out for your food source if you're in a cold climate so you should be telling that to users and also enough food and water
This must be during one of those "Second Chance" $100,000 Tournaments they had from 1976-1978, for champions who won the Golden Medley, but didn't get the Mystery Tune. Is that correct? Great clip! Keep them coming if you can!
She was a cutie, but for her age, she's still luke warmish! I don't see a GSN bug, this must B an old tape!! Anywho, I loved all those gameshows in the mid to late 1970's!!
I remember in the 70's watching her on this show. Besides her voice she had quite the body and she often went braless in certain outfits that left little to the imagination. Tame today but on the edge for TV back then.

Kathie Lee looks and sounds beautiful.
this was one of the best game shows ever.
she looks like Target Lady from Saturday Night Live!
The Dorothy Hammil haircut was huge back then.
I think they called it "short and sassy".
The look is part Dorothy Hamill, part Lauren Tewes from The Love Boat.
Loved this show!!!!

$5000, that's like $30,000 today! That's about two month's debt!

Thanks!!! This is actually the first show that aired! I was on the tape where they tested the format!!
I always fantasized Kathy Lee howling the Star Spangled Banner into the head of my peep , as if it were a microphone.
A year later Kathy Lee became a Hee Haw honey.
The seventies, back when it was normal for the host to hold the show girl to his body for no particular reason. 🤦🏽♀️
I just want get a look at that $5000 car! Whew!!!!
That Car was a Datsun 200SX
Dorothy Hammil did more harm than she'll ever know.
So funny!
And now, she’s retired from “The Today Show.”

The original Karen
🤣🤣🤣 too funny. You’d think so but Kathie is really sweet and has a bad ass sense of humor tho.
I'm sure two decades after that during the sweatshop and Frank cheating scandals, she wished she could return to this more innocent time in her life.
