- This is a special upload of The Joker's Wild. It originally aired November 20, 1984 which I used to have but was taped over. Now here it is as a Rerun from the USA Network February 12, 1986. The challenger Charles plays against returning champion Ross. Enjoy this Wild Flashback.
I do not own any rights to this show or music, this is uploaded for entertainment and nostalgic purposes. - Zábava
This was one of my favorite game shows when I was a kid!
same. joker, JOker, JOKER YOU WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
never see that coming
Bill Cullen seemed like a genuine nice guy.
DBR00 He was the overall best in the business. Even his fellow emcees over the years acknowledged that as well. Hosted more game shows than anybody else. It was a sad day in 1990 when he passed away.
@@eyehatefarcebook11 Always liked Bill hosting Blockbusters
He was. He was the standard hosts aspired to
@@eyehatefarcebook11 I agree. For me, Bill Cullen was my second favorite host. I prefer Tom Kennedy just a little bit more.
One of the best game show hosts ever. I believe he took over after Jack Barry passed. He did the same thing for Password+ when Allan Ludden was dying of cancer. The producers were contractually obligated to finish the seasons and they knew Bill Cullen wouldn't let them or the viewers down. RIP Bill.
This episode was hilarious!! I love watching game shows that I grew up watching and this is one of them!! Hope there are more episodes to watch this weekend!!
I noticed the man said 'this is the best thing that's ever happened to me' with his wife sitting right in the audience! Neat to see the commercials; I didn't know they had LCD TV's back then! Junior Mints, and I remember Commander USA! Thanks for the upload!
I remembered seeing this game show on television.
shows from old VHS tapes is awesome
Got my VCR in 1987 as a graduation gift and used it a lot!
I played The Joker's Wild online game on the TBS website. I've had absolutely no luck against the devil!
This aired on my 3rd birthday...sweet; one of my all time faves
Ross knew he had to bid a high number of questions but he just didn’t bid high enough.
He was an idiot!
Thx for upload. I used to watch this as a wee young lad.
that was cutest game show I ever seen two old couples they are almost like twins
RIP to Bill Cullen as well as Jack Barry.
Same with Charlie O' Donnell.
and Jim Lange
And Jay Stewart.
And of course Alex Trebek along with Tom Kennedy
R.I.P. Geoff Edwards (Hollywood Talking, Play the Percentages)
Glad you left in the commercials.... its like a little time capsule. Thanks.
That was very cold, Mr. Drew Conway, No one deserves losing that way.
The reason Bill Cullen was pretty much at the podium when he was introduced was two fold. One he had survived a bout with polio when he was 18 months old in 1921 and he was seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident in 1937.
4:30 Voice of God corrects the host. Never seen that before on a game show, but glad they have enough guts to correct their mistakes on the fly.
Happened all the time on B&E shows.
Yep...the judge was always heard on Barry & Enright shows.
Good evening, Captain Stubing. How are Gopher and Doc this evening? Aaall righty, then.
I've seen that happen on Tic Tac Dough and Bullseye.
Bill was always quick with the quips.
Ooooo the Eagle Wagon! With confidence of select drive too lol
The Eagle Wagon? How much were those babies? I've seen a few on The Price is Right on some 1983 episodes go for about 11,000-12,000.
Bill and Jack were the best at this show
Jim Peck was a substitute host.
Now that's interesting. Of all the TJW vids I've found here on CZcams, this is the only one I've come across (thus far), where a challenger won the game because the champion's math was off as to how many questions would have to be answered correctly on a "Bid" category (with respect to the value of the questions) to be able to accumulate enough money to either tie or beat the opponent's score. I don't recall that happening too often.
+Cecil Richardson I believe there is an episode where an champion lost because he couldn't figure out to go off the board and use the Fast Forward category
The champion lost just because he got his arithmetic wrong? Damn!! Talk about "strict rules"!!
I used to love That Answering machine Tape Commercial as a Child..18:52
84,85,& 86 best years of my life, except the 70s, they were beyond Best!
1984 was best
same here. Reagan was president, i just started H.School..the music was chill/kick-ass, racism was at an all-time low(it seemed), and I had Duran Duran hairdo to get women lol
I really enjoy the commercials. Thank you for leaving them in. Makes it 100% more interesting.
My favorite period for commercials is around 1970 (immediate post-MAD MEN era) to the turn of the millennium. The 2000's brought about a change (I cannot exactly explain what) in TV advertising that ended an era.
Perhaps being born in 1980 & having a memory stretching back to around 3 years old, there is a definite feeling of comfort in watching them from then.
Crazy calls lol!
In case I have studied at home, on Los Angeles TV Station KHJ-TV Channel 9, this show was aired on Wednesday, December 5, 1984 (first-run); Wednesday, August 7, 1985 (reruns).
KHJ (KCAL) 9 had this show, & was produced by Chris Craft Industries. It was at the KCOP Studios.
Doesn't Chris Craft make boats?
That's the name of KCOP 13.
+Thomas Schofield I remember in the summer of 1985, KHJ reran episodes from Jack Barry's final year in the afternoon, and the Bill Cullen shows in the evening.
@@TimBoyd2012 Yes
Charles got very lucky to get a question with his own last name as an answer.
Back when USA network was worth watching. Now like all other channels it shows the same old garbage
Chad Quick NIGHT FLIGHT!
Old Days
Chad Quick So true. When I was little I watched Press Your Luck and Scrabble on USA during the midday.
It seems the USA network has become the Law and Order channel.
3642130 oh yes. And TBS had Night Trax I believe it was. And of course Friday night videos on NBC. Seems like a lifetime ago.
If they come back on TV do the way of 1980s.
Back in 1986 when USA Network was showing game shows like "The Joker's Wild" with Bill Cullen, it was then their own lineup worth watching. And as the Devil took a hike for this episode, it was from season 8 when the Audience Game was revised with two onstage members of the studio audience, and a home viewer who used a touch-tone telephone to play along, in this final season for the Audience Game and the Joker Home Bonus, and rights to this game show in reruns now belong to Sony Pictures Television. Thanks for this special upload, as it was quite a Wild remembrance.
It was a little weird with the home audience member playing.
I liked Bill Cullen but sadly I usually saw him as a replacement to a previous host that had passed away. RIP: Jack Berry and Allen Luden
14:30 I was so jealous when I saw someone with a pocket TV. He was able to watch a football game that I couldn't since I wasn't home....
I missed this episode and haven't slept since...
i love his mask
I gotta call that older woman and bring my Semicid by. We can go through a whole pack.
Losing due to bad maths. Poor guy!
which deseves a GT sound effect
Just plain pitiful....
He should've chosen "Solar System". 🌍☉🌙
26:01 We heard the main game win cue for a Devil Round win.
Bill was super cool !
Oh, he had to think fast of how many he needed to get ahead. Guess he couldn't calculate fast enough.
and dude needed 450 to tie and 500 to win..which would be 9 questions to tie and 10 questions answered right for the win, and he said SIX? Maybe he choked due to having to do math on the quick spot? lol. I'd have asked for 10 questions. why go all that way just for the tie? lol. THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD!
That is the flaw. The show should force a showdown of n+required ?s till someone loses.
Yeah, wink martindale fucked up too.
See kids, it pays to know math. Dude deserved to lose for that alone.
Drew Conway: Rude
What a dumb rule. They should just say you need x amount of spins to beat him, but he was a dipshit.
@@rtp1968 The truth hurts, Karen
Looking for my mom’s episodes. Her name was Linda Peroutka. Year of 1972 or 1973
OK, here's my theory: The florist who looks like Sal Mineo threw the game so he could ask out the theatrical technician who shows dogs--
Captain Stub-bing, Tom Wop-at, reporter Rus-si. It sounds like Bill didn't watch much television. Lol
Bill Cullen hosted the Jokers Wild beautifully. It's not a race or competition.
If the category were Joes and Joeys, the question I might have probably been asking (if I were the host) would have been something like this: "This Joey is one of Hollywood's biggest stars today; she has had such hits as The Kissing Booth and Bullet Train, among many others. What is her last name?"
Player: "King."
Me (host): "Right, for $100!"
14:19, I want that pocket TV from Casio!
a crisp black and white picture?!?!?! OUTSIDE?!?!?! What will they think of next?!
John Springart maybe a built-in HD antenna with color.
Bill cullen went back to the 50s early game show tv
"Do you have any episodes of (Tic Tac Dough) 1978-86?"
Bill Cullen was corrected, by the judge. Gavin McLeod play that Captain Stubbing, on "The Love Boat".
Steubing
USA Network aired reruns of the Bill Cullen Version of The Joker's Wild, but GSN aired reruns of Cullen's Final Season from 1985/1986, but never the 84/85 Season
I wonder what the deal was
This ep is actually from 1984 or 85.
Michelle is beautiful!
Possible Buzzr show in the near future.
6:40 I'll take 6 to lose please.
Kenny Wolfe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kenny Wolfe lol, yeah. He would've had to go for 10 questions to beat his score.
650 man do the math!!!
the off the board would be only worth $50. 6 at $50 a piece is $300 do the math
Too bad there wasn't the $420 in the bonus round. :-D
We're both almost 80.
BaseballChef 26:54
BaseballChef You're Nawt! Can I tell them?
+BaseballChef I would have to say that Minnie Carlquist probably had no idea she'd end up going home with $1,205 ($1,125 from the bonus game + the $80 from the preliminary) and a brand-new living room set, especially when in Hollywood on a family reunion. I bet that gave her an interesting story to tell her grandchildren!
+BaseballChef Bill Cullen was in his 60s in this episode and he looked older than those two ladies.
Seriously? Was that because of when he was stricken by Polio as a child?
"From the abandoned acme-market @ 1400 route-61 in shamokin land of messopotamia northumberland-county ioml it's your turn to face the devil".
Omg, who on earth would order "crazy calls"? 🙄🙄🙄
Hey Charles! Uh, the 50's called...they want their "military buzzcut" back! But you're in luck, Chuck, 'cause I happen to know a (Mc)"fly" guy with a time machine and his mentor, "Duc!" (Doc!) :-D ;-P
Did he not know he needed450 to tie
what he need a wizard
the host said "mini-cooper" and referenced being "wild in minnesota"
before they were a thing....
"My fantasy @ home with greg-winslow the invisible-troupe & myself inside the abandoned acme-market route-61 in shamokin land of messopotamia northumberland-county ioml".
26:51 A secret held for over 34 years . Hmmm.. I wonder what it was.
D Lo “We’re both almost eighty” is what she whispered.
Humboldt?
At 6:00, we know that there are only TWO ways to win or catch up: 1) TO get three jokers(the obvious) OR 2) to get the Bid category. However, the man on the right must have failed in math........
Yes, he needed to bid 9 questions, not 6.
Darrel Jones As far as I know, the only person to get 3 Jokers on their final spin (when they needed it [since it was the only thing that could save them] in an attempt stave off the end of their championship reign) was Hal Shear. Thus far, I've only come across one episode on CZcams.
the end credits said XXXIV, which is 1984, not 1986. =P
Read the description. It explains the difference in the dates.
How do you underbid like that?! Ouch.....
GSN show this season of The Joker's Wild back in 2007.
No they have not.
18:55 Crazy Calls. Can't believe that sold for $15 back in the day. Listen to the tape here: czcams.com/video/5JIQDxmiFOs/video.html
They took the video down. Noo!
From 1984.
Ross flunked 3rd grade math. I watched this in the 4th grade and screamed at him for being dumb.
At the same time,USA had the cartoon express.
isn't if funny when ever someone wins money in the money game bill always has the exact amount in his hand. lol I wish the game show net work would put this on
Guess the devil took a vacation on this show.
Here's a good question. Bill died four years later so if the show was still on the air and Cullen was still hosting it, would Jim Peck replace him or might it be Pat Finn or someone else?
The show is on the air with Snoop...
@@unkomon It was on the air. Now it isn't. But either way that doesn't answer my question.
Didn't know Drew Carey's real name is Charles. 🤔
The first guy who owns a flower shop and claims to be doing well can't do basic math. Wonder how that turned out for him? The commercials are great! I called the 1-800 numbers to see if they were still in service. The Casio pocket TV number called the Red Cross! Good to know. The old ladies at the end were sweet. However I couldn't help but notice how simple minded people really are.
back when a thousand bucks was a lot of money
vargo hoat To someone who doesn’t have it a thousand dollars still is a lot.
brian schwartz true, but back then 1000 bucks was worht a whole lot more, iidk how much it translates to now, probably close to 10k since cars back then were 2-3 grand n shit
i am probably way off, in the earlier 80s ofc 1000 was worth more, idk....so long ago
Now
New cars in the mid 80s cost around $6000 for a base model. Average cars were in the $7000-$8000 range.
Didn't Jack Barry personally choose Bill Cullen to take over should something happen to Jack?
No. Jack Barry had the substitution host Jim Peck for several years and was going to retire and pass the hosting duties permanently to Peck at the start of 1984-85 season. But when Jack died suddenly in May of 1984, his partner Dan Enright gave the job to Bill Cullen since everyone on The Joker's Wild staff all wanted Jim Peck to take over. Also, in the fall of 1984, that's when Jeopardy debuted, and Wheel shot to the top of the game show ratings overtaking Dawson's Family Feud and Tic Tac Dough.
"William lawrence francis cullen the first host of the price is right the legendary game show host & panelist professor yes n no himself bill cullen" 🇮🇪🇺🇸📺🎤🤔🎤🤔📹💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵.
11/20/84 was the day of the AM Philadelphia episode you uploaded with TTD Philly contestant search winner Larry Dundas, no?
So the guy lost because he doesn't know how to multiply correctly?
Sort of dumb to have the Audience Participation in every show, since it cut down the regular game.
There really isn't a lot of 1984-85 season Joker episodes on CZcams. THis may be the first besides the premiere, which was taped off WOR on its OB on 9/10/84. The 1985-86 Cullen season aired on GSN(the first two-thirds or so of it did anyway) in 1998-99. USA was the last time the 1984-85 season of Joker was shown.
Zach Horan True in the USA. This season of TJW (or at least a portion of it) was shown on the British cable station 'Lifestyle' in 1989 and 1990 under their "Great British Gameshows" strand (they also showed some of what will have been the last 1984 Barry shows around the same time). At the time I found it curious that the show was still credited to "1984 Jack Barry Productions" despite Cullen being the host; of course back then we knew little of the US gameshow industry and I just assumed that Barry must have retired as host and continued as producer.
Jason james Great *American* Gameshows, of course ;)
I really wish I'd kept some of the tapes of those shows (I wasn't around during the day so watched them at the weekends).
WTF WAS HER SECRET????
Name another game show Bill Cullen did.
How Do You Like Your Eggs?, Pass The Puck, Chain Reaction, Blockbusters, Password Plus (for a few weeks when he filled in for Allen Ludden), Child's Play and Hot Potato, The Price is Right and The Pyramid.
Is that real money Bill gives Charles?
On most game shows (like this one, for example) where a contestant is given an amount of money they won in cash, it's just for show. What usually happens is the contestant receives a check from the show's producers for the total cash part of their winnings. As for prizes (excluding trips), the show's staff can arrange to have them shipped to wherever the contestant's residence is, either from retailers in the city in which the show is produced, or a retailer carrying the prize(s) won, closest to where the contestant lives. As for trips, they usually make arrangements with the nearest travel agency to where the contestant resides.
sha11235 yes indeed it is
Just for show though, but yes. Unless it is under a certain amount, then you get to keep the cash... Like "quickie" deals on Let's Make a Deal... Most of those are $200 or less, so you usually can keep the cash on the "quickie" deals.
In regards to trips the general rule is the winner must take it within one year of their episode airing bc of game show standards and practices
Sure looked like it. lol.
I always HATED that judge!
Did you hate the judge when he came in on a question the host was reading or an answer the contestant said?
@@trevorpanno516 of course I did.
I hated the judge when he comes in on questions the host is reading which meant he’d have to start again.
@@trevorpanno516 me too
Sometimes it will give the contestant a little more time to think.
this is the game show that is coming back to TBS..? It's still questionable if Snoop Dogg will be a good host
I have seen both episodes and it is true to the original, but Snoopified.
I refuse to watch it because of Snoop Dogg, he doesn't, nor didn't deserve to carry on the legacy of this show. Because he's a straight up asshole. That's why.
I don't know about you, but I think the set looked out of date, even by 1980s standards.
Reports have said that they planned to introduce a new set if the show got stations to air it for the 1986-1987 season. But when not enough signed up, Dan Enright opted to just end production instead,
Please ignore the invalid haters who are ignorant invalids who don't matter. TV today is better than ever with more great options than ever!
Half the audience was black
Stupid bid rule.
Bill Cullen was the worst host for The Joker's Wild...sure he was great on Blockbusters, Hot Potato, Child's Play, and even To Tell the Truth and Password Plus "When Allen Ludden died", but this show, poor choice, Jack Barry, Pat Finn, and even Snoop Dogg are better than this guy.
I thought he did a decent job; but his health was declining.
lakebay972 same but if you compare them to the other hosts he's basically the weakest link.
Joker's Wild was Jack Barry's show, bar none. I'd say Snoop Dogg is the weakest link; but it is a different generation and it's not exactly your grandma's Joker's Wild. Bill Cullen is a legend and he's right underneath Jack as far as Joker's goes. He was the best fit for the time being.
Did you know Wink Martindale was originally chosen as Joker's Wild host and Dick Clark as host for Gambit? But Jack Barry decided at the last minute he wanted to host. So, they moved Wink to Gambit and Dick to the Pyramid.
lakebay972 that would explain how Wink hosted the CD-i version of Joker's Wild.
