Just checked out Sammy's partner he did get his PHD in philosophy and is now a prof emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Washington(check their site), and has the required philosophical grizzled beard , but otherwise looks the same. He is a specialist in Aesthetics. Wow 50 years ago, thanks YT!
Thanks so much for finding this! I always wonder about the people- if they are still alive and what their stories are. In this particular episode I actually recognized Sheldon Hackney immediately! He was a Ph.D and the president of University of Pennsylvania when I was there. (He was Rosemary Clooney’s partner in the middle game). But they didn’t even ask him what he did! They just asked if he had a family.
Christopher Morgan.......When he mentioned getting a degree in philosophy I thought " What do you plan on doing with that degree"? Teach of course; but is there anything else you can do with a philosophy degree(???)

It almost seems as if it would have been more fair to split the 50 between both contestants when the celebrity gave away the word in the lightning round.
I love this game but some of the players don't say obvious clues.I would have said 'bread' for 'loaf', or 'meat' ,as in meatloaf.Sammy would have been a fun partner.Sammy is a singer, his partner should have said song for lyrics.
the candy man can cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good...I couldn't quit singing this in 1972 and will remember these lyrics as long as I have my right mind...
Have you noticed that whenever the celebrity accidentally says the actual word during the lightning round, Allen gives it to the contestant? If it was the celebrity, I would just say the five words immediately thus setting a new lighting round record of five seconds.
For "Tempt" - even for a first clue, "Entice" could have worked (especially if said with a little bit of acting behind it). Also, "Entice" would offer less of a chance of an answer with the wrong form of the word (like temptation, etc.).
Since they seem to allow at least small gestures, indeed (as it was used for a second clue) Davis could have cinched it again with a first clue by saying "Fraternityyyyy" and then gently gesturing toward the girls. End of story. I'd have given it an 85% chance of success.
After we had established that first clue for "Amnesia" (Forgetfulness) I think a shoe-in for getting it on the second clue would be if at 4:16 Davis had simply said the one word, "Diagnosis" (okay, maybe not a sure thing, however, I give it an 80% chance that the contestant would have gotten it).
@@malcolmmarshall5946, that must have been a rollicking Connecticut suburb. Tate married to two women named Louise, Kravitz married to two women named Agnes, "Mother Stevens" married to two men named Frank, and Sam married to two men named Darren. Or was that last Sargent York?
This may or may not work but maybe for "Chapter" even the first clue could be…"Eleven.." sort of looking down and forlorn and stretching out the word 11 :-)
It be funny if somebody said "milk…" And then the next person said "of…" (For amnesia LOL) :-) [Stupid form of trying to play the game = reference: milk of magnesia :-]
@@Alex-dy8mw non racist people wouldnt have noticed?!? What does THAT even mean, or have to do with my statement? What does "non racist people" notice, then?
@@Alex-dy8mw the fact here is, you were bothered enough, to actually pretend as if what I said, has no relevance of the times this was shot. Go away "non racist".
@@Alex-dy8mw You're right and HaidenMichelle is just a stupid "politically correct" racist woman because she's racist against white people. I'm sick and tired of so many people showing black privilege instead of quality when it comes to hiring people. Blacks are perfectly capable of going to college and earning a degree so that they can get a good job based on their good qualifications.
NTSC color TV went on the air in 1954, but it took the better part of a decade for the economy of scale to make the sets widely-affordable and for enough color content to appear to justtify the cost of the sets. ABC and CBS were also late to the party because they resisted paying a license fee to RCA. That logjam was reduced when Norelco (North American Philips) introduced their own NTSC cameras, with which (I think) early color episodes of Password were photographed.
Rosemary such a classy lady and Sammy was so talented & charming. God Bless them both. ♡
I wonder if they preformed together?? What a great act that would have been!!
Rosemary is such a sweetheart, you can tell she would defend her friend Sammy Davis in an instant!
Class, style, elegance. Please God, bring it back. 🙏🏼❤️❤️
Remember, Sammy was only seeing with his right eye since 1954...wonderful entertainer!!
Would have loved to hear a brief duet with Sammy and Rosemary!! 🎵
They could've done "Hey There", was a big hit for both of them.
From Sammy's days on Laugh-In...Here comes da judge, here comes da judge!! I love it so...
I forgot about him on that program !! He was hilarious !! Blessings from California. 🦉
LOVE Rosemary!!! Thank you for uploading these episodes!
Such a *CLASSY* episode!! Makes me want a Martini!
"Extra value is what you get, when you buy Coronet!"
I remember that commercial.
I dont remember that. Cuz I was born in 63. But I remember... "Who squeezed the Charmin" 😊
Sammy loved getting it right. 😁 He was a good player.
Wow Rosemary Clooney from White Christmas looks beautiful here on Password !
Well, they ARE the same person...
Have you ever noticed that 5 seconds on Password is longer than anywhere else in the world? 😉
nope
except in a close football or basketball game.
Sam Davis is a brilliant player!
'I'm a housewife'. when was the last time you heard that word?
The other day.
Holy cow -- Rosemary Clooney is SO YOUNG here. wow.
37 isn't SO YOUNG
Love Sammy
Gracious was such a good clue...gave the opponent the answer. :)
🍭 I loved it when Sammy Davis Jr. said sucker ! Remember his song 🎶 The Candy 🍬 Man ?! 🍫
I mean lollipop !!! I must be playing my own Password Game !!
🥱
Did you know; George Clooney is Rosemary’s nephew?
I wondered if they were related; thanks for the info!
Did you know george Clooney is a left wing asshole?
@@lawsonj39 Good Afternoon,, Yes! Rosemary Clooney is George Clooney's paternal aunt ( his father's sister). 😀
@@charlessedlacek5754 did you know youre a jerk?
🌹 Rosemary is also Debbie Boone’s mother in law !!

ImaginePuppies Breath I agree. That would be fair.
Memoryless? I’m surprised they allowed that!
Aside from the game, Kathy Sutton, in my opinion, was gorgeous!
At about 12:36 who else was yelling "STRING!!" At their computer screen :-)
Remember when Sammy was on All In the Family? Archie had the family guess who he picked up and Edith thought it was Rosemary Clooney.
Good recall!!
@@alanhumphrey4198 Thanks.
@Warren. I remember that.
it seems like Rosemary Clooney was a real regular gal
It was the Metamucil!

who cares???
Memorylessness.
At 17:42 who else was thinking… "....Man caaaaaan" :-)

You made me giggle !! 🦉
yeah, why didn't I think of that?
For "Tempt" - even for a first clue, "Entice" could have worked (especially if said with a little bit of acting behind it). Also, "Entice" would offer less of a chance of an answer with the wrong form of the word (like temptation, etc.).
I thought incentive.
They should let them go back to the word if time in the round
Since they seem to allow at least small gestures, indeed (as it was used for a second clue) Davis could have cinched it again with a first clue by saying "Fraternityyyyy" and then gently gesturing toward the girls. End of story. I'd have given it an 85% chance of success.
Contestants have to leave after only one round?
Always hated that
I know ! It is sad when someone gets the booby prize of fifty bucks !! 🦇
You ought to be a detective!!!
Alan gave the clues for squint.
I laugh every time Allen asks, "are you a working girl?" Now adays it means a sex worker 🙃
At least after the first or second clue, for "Yarn" I probably would've said "String……" (with that undulating-sound deal they do :-)
After we had established that first clue for "Amnesia" (Forgetfulness) I think a shoe-in for getting it on the second clue would be if at 4:16 Davis had simply said the one word, "Diagnosis" (okay, maybe not a sure thing, however, I give it an 80% chance that the contestant would have gotten it).
I thought after forgetfulness that temporary might have done it.
Luden extremely serious.
Sammy's female partner looks a lot like Louise Tate, the wife of Darren's boss on "Bewitched."
Which Louise Tate? For that matter, which Darren?
@@kevinwachs5905 The first ones, Irene Vernon and Dick York!
@@malcolmmarshall5946, that must have been a rollicking Connecticut suburb. Tate married to two women named Louise, Kravitz married to two women named Agnes, "Mother Stevens" married to two men named Frank, and Sam married to two men named Darren. Or was that last Sargent York?
@@kevinwachs5905 Oh yeah, Peyton Place, Connecticut!
Fellow Portlander!
Probably not alive anymore, but hey, it works
weird
I'm not gonna say anything… but 23:52 let's just say, sounded… odd.
Honestly- would anyone today guess the word “telegram”?
Is this George's mum?
Aunt
This may or may not work but maybe for "Chapter" even the first clue could be…"Eleven.." sort of looking down and forlorn and stretching out the word 11 :-)
Twelve. Nope, doesn't work.
or players (referring to football)
It be funny if somebody said "milk…" And then the next person said "of…" (For amnesia LOL) :-) [Stupid form of trying to play the game = reference: milk of magnesia :-]
Have seen it work though
Is (was) Rosemary Clooney related to Peggy Cass? They really favored each other at this time.
No they don't. Peggy Cass was very masculine.
Why don't they just have another clue ready instead of all this "little man" crap:?
I think sometimes Allen talks TOO much !!
Rice isn't candy!
also that doesn't sound like the regular announcer
It's not bitter, either.
As racist as the world is today..I cant imagine being a black man or woman back then!
How is your comment relevant to this show? Just because Sammy Davis was black? Non racist people wouldn't even have noticed.

Not in color !
You're easily impressed!
Still a bit condescending to women...
🥱
What year they invented color TV ? This is bad
1958. Networks waited until 1965 to start using it in their new shows. The color TV sets were very expensive.
