I saw that Cullen pic the first time I tried my link. I then deleted the L in HTML and the France/French page pops up.

I have encoded a nice copy of the France-French incident.... if you're interested I have it on a yousendit.com link, so check it out -- and hurry, because the link will expire in 7 days or for a limited number of downloads.

France-French Incident!

Enjoy.

Because she wanted to win $5,000?

Concerning the "OASIS" portion of this incident: I'm a little confused as to why the fellow who was "disadvantaged" because of the illegal clue being accepted would be brought back for a future episode.   Why didn't they just keep him for the game immediately following Kathy's "OASIS" win?  (There was an edit in the GSN version just coming back from commercial; this may have been explained in the full version and I'm hoping one of you who've seen the real thing might know.)

I did not intend for the clip to be propogated further than the immediate circle we have here on the board. If you can please take down the download link from your site after a few days, I'd greatly appreciate it.

You know, quite possibly my favorite thing about Tom's guest-hosting is his saying, "Hi, Allen," during his entrance every day.  It's a class act.   I don't know if Kennedy and Ludden were friends off-screen, but whether or not Tom knew Allen wouldn't be able to return, he respected the latter's preeminence as "Password" host.

It's also a nice echo of Allen's "Hi, doll" greeting to his mother(-in-law?).

Supposedly, they were good friends off-camera.  Tom did ABC "Password" more times than even required for the host of "Split Second," the show that came on after "Password."  When "Stumpers!" and "50 Grand Slam" were on NBC back-to-back, they readily agreed to promo the shows together, including Kennedy doing a walk-on on the first "Stumpers!"  All the help that gave both shows.

As "incidents" go, was this really that big of a deal?  I was almost embarrassed for TK... he and Martin were acting like they were on Match Game after the infamous "dinner break" where everyone had a bit too much "club soda" to drink.  But if they were sober, they were just acting like idiots.

[quote name=\'zachhoran\' date=\'Apr 20 2005, 08:31 AM\']An all-star week begins tomorrow with David Doyle, Dick Gautier, Gina Hecht, and the recently-deceased Debralee Scott. Does anyone remember who the two contestants will be on the SUsan Richardson/Bill Cullen show that follows the celeb week?
[/quote]Only because I haven't seen it posted, today's ep was with Richardson and Bill.

While I don't doubt you, I find it interesting (and yes, ironic) that the two hosts of Password and You Don't Say would in fact be good friends. You'd think they'd be fierce rivals.

Watching it, I thought, "Gee, if that happened on a show today, this board would have the host run out of town on a rail."  And I'm surprised they left it all in, but I was amused to see it.

I'm willing to bet it was toward the end of a long tape day, and everybody was in that dog-tired "everything seems funnier than it is" state.

The difference being, if it had happened today, the host prolly would have been some overbearing hack in the Frank Nicotero mold, and not Tom Kennedy.

(Well, maybe it woulda been Woolery. Buf if it had been Woolery it prolly would be tolerated too.
