Chamberlain used to score a lot around that time. Sometimes even on the court.

(Best Chamberlain story ever: While posing for a photograph with Wilt Chamberlain, Bob Cousy and George Mikan during a 1992 reception unveiling Madison Square Garden's Walk of Fame, "a crowd gathered, drawn by the three stars, and [Dick Schaap] couldn't resist turning to our audience and saying, 'Do you realize that among the four of us, we've had twenty thousand and 10 women?' (He was referring to a book Chamberlain wrote in which he claimed he'd slept with 20,000 women.) Everyone laughed, except the three guys I was standing with. Mikan and Cousy informed me that they had had only one each. But Wilt was more upset. 'Hey, Dick,' he said, 'that book is two years old.'")

Seriously, Chamberlain did a week of Password All-Stars a year later. In 1973, he had just become coach of the San Diego Conquistadors. in the old ABA.

Wonderful line.

I've seen clips of him on The Dating Game, where he chose one of three bachelorettes, and I also remember him playing Celebrity Bullseye, which I think he only played/lost one match (two out of three games)!

I seem to recall some laughs from the DG audience, as he tried to embrace his date, since he stood at least twice her height!

Was she a midget? Chamberlain was 7'1", so half of that is 3'6-1/2". (Not that I wouldn't put this beyond Barris.)

Didn't mean it that way, it was just an expression! Sorry!

Also, I recognize Gene Shalit, Polly Bergen, but does anyone know the name of the lady next to Art James (first name "Berry?")[/quote]

Could the woman in question be Berry Berenson?

I do remember that celebrity show. Berry Berenson was the sister of Marisa Berenson. Berry was also, sadly, a 9/11 victim - she was on one of the planes that crashed.
