[quote name=\'Jay Temple\' date=\'Aug 31 2004, 12:07 AM\'] Here's one that no one ever mentions, probably because it's not neatly summed up in a few words. On a Monday on The $100,000 Pyramid, Dick Clark turned to Terry Lester and explained why Keif Farrendini, the defending champion, wasn't there. (She and Mr. Lester knew each other.) He then returned to the other team, who played their turn--without introducing Terry's partner. (On the Golden Pyramid Awards marathon from March 2002, this was one of the three nominees for Best Brain Freeze.) [/quote]
Speaking of Pyramid, a favorite of mine, was from I believe the $100,000 version, where Dick mentions that the mystery 7 prize is a 1958 Chevy Chevette I think it was. Classic moment.

Let's try this one more time. From our friends at Dictionary.com:

Blooper (bloo-per) n. A clumsy mistake, especially one made in public; a faux pas.

Do you REALLY think Dick slipped up when he read that card?

"Oh my GOD! I could have SWORN it said "1958 Chevy Chevette" here! How embarrassing! I'll have to run this on my NBC show with Ed this week! Ha Ha!"

Yes I do think he did.

Adam, how many times do you need to be told not to believe everything you see and hear?

adamjk · « **Reply #64 on:** August 31, 2004, 12:55:38 PM »

Oh come on. He would never do something like that on purpose, and before you ask, yes I have seen the clip.

That's my favorite, too. Even though I've never tried it.

So he would never purposely go for a laugh, right?

Let me guess: you also think that the categories on the April Fool's Day show were put in backwards by accident. Right?

That doesn't mean you understand what was going on.

Well that is a different matter. He even said he was so embarassed when the chevette incident happened. He didn't mention the mistake either. One of the celebrities pointed it out. Don't you think if he was purposely going for a laugh, he would mention the joke?

(sigh) Would someone please explain to me why I bother?

NOTE: Send replies by email, please. I don't want them cluttering the thread. :-)

Can someone please back me up on this? It was a mistake. A very funny one.

Sorry dude, I think you're on your own on this one.

Actually not.

'Twas the $100,000 Pyramid. When describing the Mystery 7 prize, he said something to the effect of, "If you get 7 out of 7, you will win a knew nineteen fifty-eight Chevrolet Chevette."

When questioned by the male celebrity (whose identity I can't recall at this point) and people backstage started yelling "'85!" at him, he asks, "What did I say?"

When told, he takes a couple steps back, embarrassed, and says that he's so used to talking about a '58 Chevy, it just came out like that.

So that's one on the plus side for Adam. One.

Note: It's been a while since the last time I saw this. It may have been '68 and '86, but it definitely happened; I've seen it with my own two eyes---multiple times. (And I think it actually was on one of the NBC specials.)

Adam: now that we have verification from a reliable source, I retract my accusation that you did not know what was going on.

However, my advice to you -- not to believe everything you see or hear -- still stands.

Fair enoguh. Mea culpa. I'm sorry, Adam.

Me three.

Sorry, Adam.
