Today....a easier name.

SO how do you change a mispronounced name into a easier name? Well, for one game show host, it was easy. Garry Moore will be told after I return.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC6GtKraxKE

I want to know what you thought of Bud Collyer and Beat The Clock was the most popular answer. We'll have another after  tell you more.....about Garry Moore.




Born Thomas garrison Morfit, III, began to make tentative steps into the new medium as a panelist and guest host on quiz and musical shows. On June 26, 1950, he was rewarded with his own 30-minute CBS early-evening talk-variety TV program, The Garry Moore Show, which was a shorter version of his radio show.[1][12] Until September 1950, it was also simulcast on radio.[12] During 1950 and 1951, he hosted prime-time variety hour summer replacements for Arthur Godfrey and his Friends. He appeared as a guest star on other programs, too, including CBS's Faye Emerson's Wonderful Town.
During his run as a variety-show host, Moore was tapped to host CBS' weekly prime-time TV panel show I've Got a Secret. It premiered on June 19, 1952.[2] On this show, Moore began his friendships with comedian Henry Morgan and game show host and panelist Bill Cullen, with whom he had a long working relationship.[13] Morgan later stated that Moore had helped him keep his job as a celebrity panelist on the show.[14]
Moore became known for his involvement in the variety of stunts and demonstrations of the show's contestants. The popularity of I've Got a Secret led to a cameo in the 1959 film It Happened to Jane. In the film, Doris Day's character was a contestant on the show, with Moore, as well as the panel playing themselves.[15]
Moore's variety program was moved to the daytime slot, where it ran until June 27, 1958.[5][12] Within three months of the end of the daytime show, his longtime colleague Durward Kirby and he moved the revived The Garry Moore Show into prime time as a Tuesday night comedy and variety hour that ran from September 30, 1958, to June 14, 1964.[12]
Although the show was a bigger hit in prime time, Moore always preferred the daytime housewife audience.[5] He thought that it gave the lonely housewives something to listen to and watch while they worked.[5] The show provided a break into show business for many performers, including Alan King, Jonathan Winters, Carol Burnett, and Dorothy Loudon.[1][2][3] The Garry Moore Show featured regular supporting cast members Durward Kirby,[12] Marion Lorne, Denise Lor, and Ken Carson, as well as a mixture of song-and-dance routines and comedy skits, and introduced the public to comedian Carol Burnett. After the show ended, Burnett became a star in her own right, hosting The Carol Burnett Show for many years.[12]
The Garry Moore Show was cancelled in 1964,[2][13] and in the summer of that year, after having been on radio and television for 27 uninterrupted years, Moore decided to retire, saying he had "said everything [he] ever wanted to say three times already."[2] He gave up hosting I've Got A Secret and was replaced by comedian Steve Allen, who would host the show until the end of its run in 1967 (although Moore had ended his retirement before I've Got A Secret left the air, he never returned to the series to host and Allen helmed a subsequent, one-season syndicated revival in 1972).[2][13] Moore's main activity during his hiatus was a trip around the world with his wife.[13]
Moore announced on the 10th Anniversary show June 19, 1962 that he had recently had an operation on his right hand and that is why he was seen shaking hands with his left hand for a few months because he was protecting his hand from strong handshakes. After two years, The Garry Moore Show returned to the CBS prime-time lineup in the fall of 1966.[12] The week of the premiere, Moore appeared as the celebrity guest on I've Got A Secret to promote it.[13] The new show was canceled mid-season because of low ratings against NBC's highly rated western Bonanza.[12]

But he also did To Tell The Truth.





He hosted it until his retirement in 1977. He died at the age of 78 in 1993.

Now we want to know what do you think of Garry Moore. We'll give you 2 weeks to think on it.

Today....The first Superman.

We go back to the 50's and the first host of Beat The Clock is Bud Collyer. In fact, Bud is the subject after this word.


I forgot to post a poll on Facebook, so my apologies in advacnce, but I'll make a real one this time after we tell you all about Bud Collyer.


Collyer's best-remembered radio starring role began in early 1940 in The Adventures of Superman on the Mutual Broadcasting System, a role he also performed in the subsequent Superman cartoons. Collyer supplied the voices of both Superman and his alter ego Clark Kent, opposite radio actress Joan Alexander as Lois Lane. Every Superman episode featured a scene in which Clark Kent changed into his Superman costume, an effect which Collyer conveyed by shifting voices while speaking the phrase "This is (or "looks like") a job for Superman!" Collyer's voice shifted by an octave[citation needed] whenever he made the transition from the one identity to the other.

Collyer got his first helping of game shows when he co-hosted ABC's (the former NBC Blue network) Break the Bank with future Miss America Pageant mainstay Bert Parks; and, when he was picked to host the radio original of the Mark Goodson-Bill Todman team's first game, Winner Take All. Collyer went on to host the television versions of both shows. (Winner Take All became, in due course, the first hosting seat for another game show titan, Bill Cullen.)

But he's been known to do Beat The Clock.




But he's also the first host of To Tell The Truth.






In 1969, Beat The Clock was brought back for a new syndicated run; the host chosen for the show was Jack Narz. One legend holds that Narz was flying to New York to host the first tapings of the show, and none other than Collyer himself sat next to Narz on the flight. Narz was nervous and did not know what to expect, but was pleased to find Collyer as generous and kind as he appeared on television. Collyer wished him luck and opined that his run would be as long as the original, and before the week was done, handwritten notes for every member of the crew who had worked on the original series arrived from Collyer, wishing them all luck. (Collyer's written replies to fan mail were often in longhand.)

When To Tell the Truth was planned to be revived for syndication, producers Mark Goodson and Bill Todman wanted Collyer to once again host the show.[6] Collyer declined, citing poor health.[6] When Goodson and Todman called Garry Moore about the job, he immediately called Collyer, who told Moore that "I am just not up to it."[6] Collyer died at age 61 from a circulatory ailment in Greenwich, Connecticut, on the same day To Tell The Truth was revived in syndication.[2]
At the time of his death, he was married to 1930s movie actress Marian Shockley, and was survived by her as well as his three children from his marriage to Heloise Law Green. In 1957, his son Mike appeared as a challenger on To Tell the Truth, under the name of "Pat Rizzuto". His brother, Richard V. "Dick" Heermance, film editor and producer, also appeared as a contestant on Truth as himself on October 21, 1958. Two of the panelists voted for him, even though he looked nothing like his brother.


So that's Bud Collyer. What I want to know is, what's the thning you like about Bud Collyer. I'll give you 2 weeks to settle on it.

Today....A new Feud begins.

By 1987, CBS tried to get Family Feud back on the air. The result:





Ray Combs. I'll tell you more about him after this.





https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC6GtKraxKE

We want to know the reason why you like Richard Dawson and by a landslide, Family Feud was the one. Good job in your part and we'll have another one later after I get back to Ray Combs.




Ray was born in Hamilton, Ohio and became a successful stand up comic in addition to doing warm up for many sitcoms. From 1988 to 1993, he hosted the Feud and the last 2 introduced the Bullseye game.

By 1995, he did his last show called the Family Challenge.



By 1996, Ray committed suicide. That cause was hanging himself in a closet. That's not a good way to go out. But a good way to go out is the Buzzr Beater question. What's the one thing you like about Ray Combs? I'll give you 2 weeks to decide on it.

Today....When a Feud was born.

By now you know, Family Feud is turning 40 years old today. So we start out with the first host of Feud after I return.





https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC6GtKraxKE

Right now, what did you think of Super Password? A lot of you said the cashword segment, because of the toaster. If you watched the very last episode, Betty White crushes it to smithereens, but let's get back to Richard Dawson.

(Song stops)





Born In England, Richard gained fame in the television show Hogan's Heroes as Cpl. Peter Newkirk from 1965 to 1971. He was also a regular on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In from 1971–73, and became a regular on The New Dick Van Dyke Show (1973–74). He portrayed a theatre director in the first season of McCloud and was a panelist on the 1972–73 syndicated revival of I've Got a Secret. He played himself on an episode of The Odd Couple.

After Laugh-In was cancelled in 1973, game show pioneer Mark Goodson signed Dawson to appear as a regular on Match Game '73, alongside Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly and host Gene Rayburn. Dawson, who had already served a year as panelist for Goodson's revival of I've Got a Secret, proved to be a solid and funny player and was the frequent choice of contestants for the "Head-To-Head Match" portion of the show's "Super-Match" bonus round, in which, after winning prize money in the "Audience Match" portion, the contestant and Dawson (or any celebrity the contestant chose) had to obtain an exact match to the requested fill-in-the-blank. During his time on Match Game he would occupy the bottom center seat.





From 1976 to 1985, he hosted Family Feud and became the very 1st one. Dawson parodied his TV persona in 1987 in The Running Man, in which he portrayed the evil, egotistical game-show host Damon Killian. Of Dawson's performance film critic Roger Ebert (who gave the film itself thumbs down) wrote, "Playing a character who always seems three-quarters drunk, he chain-smokes his way through backstage planning sessions and then pops up in front of the cameras as a cauldron of false jollity. Working the audience, milking the laughs and the tears, he is not really much different than most genuine game show hosts – and that's the film's private joke."


Richard revived the Feud for one season in 1994 in its 60-minute edition, but died in 2012. But.....


The Buzzr Beater question wants you to know, what's the best thing about Richard? I'll give you a week to decide on it.

Today....A super game show.

NBC cancelled Password Plus in 1982, but the spirit didn't want to die. 2 years later, we get a different result and I'll tell you all about it once I return.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC6GtKraxKE

So did you download the Buzzr Casino app? In a close one.....it was yes. I'll have another one for you after I tell you more about Super Password.





The classic play of Password is the same, but Password Plus added a puzzle, so Super Password carried it over. By the time Allen Ludden died, Tom Kennedy took it to the end in 1982, but Bert Convy kept the spirit alive from 1984 to 1989. Newer features included a Cashword segment which became somewhat of a basis to Million Dollar Password and a growing jackpot in the bonus game that increased by $5000 until won. Not only that, it defined the integrity of the NBC daytime schedule that had Scrabble and Sale as big hits. And that is Super Password.


So I want to know what's the best thing about Super Password, I'll give you 2 weeks to decide.

With Monty Hall still hosting, it was the same old song & dance with newer things like....





Plus, music recycled from other Hatos-Hall shows. Not to mention a colorful set. IMO, this was my favorite and for 2 seasons, Brian Cummings and Dean Goss were announcers on the new version. Now it's being paired up with Tattletales in the afternoon.
