00:00This is the exciting Password player and sparkling stage star, lovely Betty White.
00:06Thank you, Lee. And this is my partner, Edward Fearon of New York City.
00:10This is the brilliant Password player and talented writing and broadcasting star, Frank Gifford.
00:16Thank you. And this is my partner, Merle Nikaido from Honolulu, Hawaii. And we're all here to play Password.
00:27Now, here's our host on Password, Alan Lutton.
00:41Good afternoon. Thank you.
00:45Dave, it's good to have you with us.
00:48How are you, Frank?
00:49Fine, Alan.
00:50Now, Betty, you've played a lot of games, and you love to play games. This I know.
00:54Do you have any kind of a philosophy about game playing that you can state simply?
00:58Well, squaring up, there are a lot of jokes I could say, but yes, I do.
01:01I love games, and I love game shows. I think it's good mental exercise.
01:05I think it keeps everybody kind of alert and kind of on his toes,
01:08and you can't watch a game show without participating,
01:11and I think that's good mental exercise for everybody. I don't care how old or how young you are.
01:15Keeps the mind active, which is very important.
01:16And you meet a lot of husbands, that way.
01:18Yeah.
01:20All right, you do. Well, I'm glad you did.
01:22Hello, Ed.
01:23Hi.
01:23Ed Fearon, right? What keeps you busy?
01:25Well, I'm a freelance writer and a lyricist.
01:27And a lyricist?
01:28That's right.
01:28Well, you should be a good password player.
01:30Hope so.
01:31Speaking of writers, here is a writer. Tell us about your new book, Frank.
01:35Well, it's a book about the National Football League, Alan.
01:37It covers all the teams, how people can watch the game and maybe enjoy it a little more, what they
01:43can look for in certain situations.
01:45It's called the NFL CBS Guidebook.
01:47Well, that means you can do another one, too. You can do the AFL, then, couldn't you?
01:50Certainly could.
01:51All right. We'll look for your sequel, too. Okay.
01:55Meryl Nickaito.
01:55Right.
01:56Right? Are you a working girl, Meryl?
01:58Well, actually, I'm a grad student at California State College at Long Beach, but I've spent the summer here in
02:03New York City as a summer stewardess.
02:05Oh, do you like our time?
02:06Yes, I love it.
02:07Good. Nice to have you here to play Password, which we will do in just a moment, right after this
02:11message.
02:12Again, game number 1555. You ready?
02:14Yes, sir.
02:15I mean, show number, not game number.
02:17The password is collect.
02:19Betty, 10 points. See if you can get Ed Fearon to say that word.
02:27Accrue.
02:30Amass.
02:30Amass. No. Nine points, Frank.
02:35Bills.
02:38Interest.
02:39Interest. No. Eight points, Betty.
02:42Amass.
02:47Gather.
02:47No.
02:48That's what I should have said.
02:49Seven points, Frank.
02:51Gather.
02:53Collect.
02:54Yes.
02:56That's what I thought you'd say.
03:01By the way, when you hear this sound, as you know, it means your clue has not been accepted by
03:06our authority.
03:07A fine gentleman, Dr. Reason A. Goodwin, an editor of the Royal Book Encyclopedia Dictionary.
03:11And it's been a pleasure working with this good man.
03:15Seven to nothing. Ed?
03:16There you go.
03:18Merle?
03:19Friends.
03:20The password is chill.
03:22Ten points, Ed.
03:26Cold.
03:29Shivery.
03:30No.
03:31Nine points, Merle.
03:32Refrigerate.
03:34Freeze.
03:35No.
03:36Eight points, Ed.
03:41Frosty.
03:42That's what I thought it was.
03:45Frigid.
03:45No.
03:46Seven points, Merle.
03:47Icy.
03:52Five seconds, Frank.
03:55Chilly.
03:56Roughly a form of the word we're seeking.
04:00Chill.
04:01Yeah.
04:09All right, Betty, they have 14 points over here.
04:11There you go.
04:12Betty, Frank, have the word as they look at it.
04:14We'd like you to see it.
04:15The password is transparent.
04:17Ten points, Betty.
04:19See if you can get Ed Fearon to say that word.
04:20Thanks a whole bunch.
04:22Oh, yeah.
04:27Opaque?
04:29Say it again, please.
04:30Opaque?
04:31Opaque.
04:36Five seconds.
04:39Transparent.
04:40Yes.
04:40Oh, my boy.
04:41Oh, my boy.
04:42Oh, my boy.
04:43Oh, my boy.
04:43Oh, my boy.
04:46That was a fine response and an excellent clue,
04:51because that is precisely what opaque means.
04:53Oh, I think that's a beautiful name.
04:55Okay.
04:56All right, Merle.
04:57There you go.
04:58Ed, friends.
05:01The password is chic.
05:03Merle, ten points.
05:04Give you 24.
05:06Araby.
05:07Pardon?
05:09Araby.
05:12Five seconds, Frank.
05:14Araby.
05:18Egyptian.
05:19She thinks she's got it, Ed.
05:22Nine points.
05:23Valentino.
05:24Sheik.
05:25Sheik.
05:31I always...
05:34We are too young to remember that song, I guess, but I happen to remember it very well.
05:38I remember those little side lyrics.
05:4014 to 19.
05:41We'll return to Password in a moment, right after this one.
05:43It's a plethora of word puzzles on Password Plus that'll keep you guessing.
05:47Plus, another Password Plus after that.
05:49Oh, it's a Password Plus party, if you will.
05:52Stay tuned.
05:58No, she got Sheik of Araby.
06:00All right.
06:0014 to 19.
06:01That means they can win over here, Frank.
06:04Frank and Betty have the word.
06:06We'd like you to look at it.
06:07The Password is longitude.
06:09All right, Frank.
06:1010 points.
06:11I'll give you 24.
06:13Latitude.
06:14Longitude.
06:14You did it.
06:20Well, if you hadn't given that clue, Frank, you'd have been in trouble.
06:2324 to 19.
06:24That's the way it's been all week.
06:25Close.
06:27You can win on that, Ed.
06:28Merle, you can win on that.
06:29And as they look at it.
06:31The Password is farewell.
06:3310 points, Ed.
06:36Hail.
06:37Say it again, please, Ed.
06:39Hail.
06:39Hail.
06:43Farewell.
06:44Oh, thank you.
06:47Oh, you're wonderful.
06:51All in the world is you get farewell from Hale.
06:55Because I have a great partner's wife.
06:57He says hail, and you said hail and farewell.
07:00You added it up.
07:01Well, let's see how you do with the lightning round.
07:03You ready, Betty?
07:04You got your fingers crossed?
07:05Uh-huh.
07:05Ready, Ed?
07:06Right.
07:06All right.
07:07The trick is to do it here, as you know.
07:08In one minute, here's the first word.
07:11Go.
07:11Avenue.
07:12Street.
07:14Shop.
07:16Department.
07:17Watches.
07:19Jewelry.
07:21Balls.
07:21Pawn.
07:22Yes.
07:23Uh-huh.
07:24Farewell.
07:25Hail.
07:26Yes.
07:26Uh-huh.
07:28Door.
07:30Way.
07:30Bang.
07:31Slam.
07:32Yes.
07:32Uh-huh.
07:33Hit.
07:34Punch.
07:35Face.
07:36Smack.
07:38Slap.
07:39Yes.
07:39Rock the board.
07:40What a nice set.
07:43Yes.
07:44Yes.
07:44Yes.
07:45Yes.
07:46Yes.
07:46Yes.
07:47Yes.
07:48Yes.
07:49Yes.
07:49You should write a song called Hail and Farewell.
07:52This afternoon.
07:53Maybe somebody already has.
07:54But you've done very well.
07:55You did that in 29 seconds.
07:57And Ed Fearon has just won $350.
08:06Merle.
08:06You may still win some money to take back to Honolulu, will you?
08:09Do you want to play a second game?
08:10Sure.
08:10Let's change partners.
08:18All right, ladies.
08:19Get acquainted.
08:20She's from a town you like a lot, Betty.
08:22Oh, Honolulu.
08:23Frank, you and Ed are already over here?
08:25We're ready.
08:25You start, so there's the word.
08:27Frank and Betty have it.
08:29The password is wrinkle.
08:31Ten points, Frank.
08:33Frank.
08:41Crease.
08:43Pleat.
08:44Crease, pleat.
08:45Nine points, Betty.
08:48Crow's feet.
08:50Wrinkle.
08:50Yes.
08:53There you go.
08:55You afraid of the two words?
08:57Crow's feet.
08:58No, that buzzer wouldn't have rung on crow's feet.
09:01Nine for the ladies.
09:01My little man is late on the 1555th show.
09:04He gets, you know, he gets very tired sometimes.
09:07Hello there.
09:08Nice to see you today.
09:10Okay.
09:11Ed, there you go.
09:13Merle.
09:15Frank.
09:16The password is lightning.
09:18Ten points, Ed.
09:20Thunder.
09:21Lightning.
09:22You did it.
09:27What do we got here?
09:30Ten to nine.
09:31Close again.
09:31Betty and Frank.
09:33The password is study.
09:36Ten points.
09:36Betty, give you 19.
09:48That's very pretty.
09:49You like that at all.
09:50It has nothing to do with the word.
09:51Five seconds.
09:53Research.
09:57Study.
09:57Yes.
10:06And now, back to Password and Ellen Lutton.
10:13That's right.
10:16Thank you very much.
10:18Oh, we got another fine studio audience here.
10:21We're playing Password this week with a young lady that actually I first met on this program.
10:26Betty White, ladies and gentlemen.
10:32And this gentleman on my left first played Password with us one New Year's Eve about five years ago.
10:38He was number 16 on the Giants.
10:40And I was a big fan of him.
10:41It was a big thrill to meet him.
10:43Here he is.
10:43Frank Gifford.
10:49Yeah.
10:49It was a championship team that year.
10:51It was a championship team that year.
10:54Betty is playing with Merle Nikaido with 19 points, which means, Merle, you can win on that.
11:00But, Ed, you start.
11:01There's the word.
11:02Good luck.
11:04Friends.
11:05The Password is weak.
11:07Ten points, Ed.
11:09Strong.
11:12Weak.
11:12Yes.
11:16Oh, if you'd have thought it was too simple and I've got to go to go.
11:19Well, that's the way the score usually is with Frank and Betty.
11:2220 to 19.
11:23Either team can win.
11:25The word goes to Betty and Frank.
11:27And as they look at it, we'd like you to look at it.
11:30The password is bunk.
11:32Ten points, Betty.
11:33Give you the game.
11:40Balderdash.
11:44Five seconds.
11:45Bear.
11:46Balderdash, Bear.
11:47No.
11:48Nine points.
11:49Give you the game, Frank.
11:53Beds.
11:55Beds.
11:55Beds.
12:01Five seconds.
12:03Bosh.
12:03Bosh.
12:04No.
12:06Eight points, Betty.
12:07I'll give you the game.
12:10Upper.
12:11Bunk.
12:12Yes.
12:19Bunk.
12:19Bunk.
12:20Bunk.
12:21Bunk.
12:21Bunk.
12:22Where did you learn bunk, Merle?
12:23Do you have bunks in Honolulu?
12:25Of course you do.
12:26Camping.
12:27Camping bunks.
12:27Camping bunks.
12:28Of course.
12:28You've got everything in Honolulu.
12:29We've got to remember that.
12:31It's a big swing in town with everything.
12:33Good.
12:33Nice town.
12:34All right.
12:34You ready to play the lightning round, Merle?
12:35Sure am.
12:35Betty?
12:36Yes, sir.
12:36The trick is to do it here, as you know, in one minute.
12:39Here's the first word.
12:41Go.
12:43Pond.
12:45Hot.
12:45Eerie.
12:47Weird.

13:15Uh, uh, digit.
13:18Number.
13:19Yes.
13:20Uh, uh, Robin.
13:22Bird.
13:22Yes.
13:22Very good.
13:31Good clues, good responses.
13:34Everybody did well.
13:35Merle, you won $350.
13:36And Ed, you won $350.
13:41Now, congratulations to your vote.
13:43Don't go away.
13:45And now, say, listen, I had an idea.
13:48We haven't done this in a long time, and I'd like to do it today because we have seen you
13:51two compete against each other, Betty and Frank.
13:53It would be interesting, I think, for all of us, for my friends at home and for us here
13:57to see how you play together.
13:58Would you like to play together?
14:00Would you like to play a third game, Merle?
14:01Yes, sir.
14:02All right.
14:02Merle, you and Frank change places.
14:04Will you, Frank?
14:07Now, we'll do here.
14:08If Frank and Betty win, they'll split the money and give it to their favorite charity.
14:12Ed, if you and Merle win, you'll split the money, period, and keep it.
14:17Okay?
14:18All right.
14:18Let's play password now.
14:19We're going to see how Frank and Betty give clues to each other.
14:22Oh, no, Betty.
14:22If you lose, that's ridiculous.
14:23Merle, if you win, you're going to be on this side of the lightning round, so that makes
14:26things quite a bit different.
14:27Betty, there's the word.
14:28You're going to start.
14:29Merle, there's the word.
14:30As they look at it, we'd like you to see it.
14:32The password is nibble.
14:34Okay, Betty.
14:34Ten points.
14:35See if you can get Frank Gifford to say that.
14:37I like it over there.
14:41Ear.
14:43What did you say?
14:44I didn't remember inviting you into this whole conversation.
14:47Say it again.
14:48I don't believe it.
14:50Ear.
14:51Ear.
14:53Well, I like it.

15:35Nibble.
15:36That's it.
15:37Oh.
15:43I'm glad I didn't get that.
15:44Yeah, I'm glad you didn't get that nipple on the ear, indeed.
15:48All right.
15:48Frank.
15:49Ed.
15:50Friends.
15:51The password is donkey.
15:53Okay, Frank, start with you.
15:54See if you get better to say that.

16:37Yes.
16:42All right, those are good clues.
16:43All right, now watch out, Merle.
16:45Ed, they can win on this.
16:47There you go.
16:48Good luck, Frank.
16:50Friends.
16:51The password is mistake.
16:53Start with you, Ed.
16:55We'll give you 17.
16:58Arrow.

17:00Yes.
17:01There we go.
17:06That's the way we like it.
17:0717 to 19.
17:08Either team can win.
17:09You ready, Betty?
17:10You start.
17:11Okay, here's the word.
17:12Here you go, Merle.
17:13Good luck to you both as they look at it.
17:15The password is dandy.
17:18Oh, I hear a clue from the audience.
17:20Just a clue.
17:21They didn't hear the response.
17:22All right.
