The old Password game show, and what’s-his-name whispers to the audience, ”.. And the password is.. DEER.” The white male celebrity says to his Black female partner “DOE..”, to which she responds, “KNOB”? The story is further verified by the teller (but I wouldn’t bank on it) by describing the way the other contestants, and pretty much everybody else laughed their asses off. ![]() Revised version of the verenable Goodson-Todman game show, where celebrity-contestant teams try to convey passwords. Super Password/Episode Guide Password. Classic editor History Talk (0) Share. The players are now already seated at the start of the show, and Super Password is now given the split screen treatment. ↑ A new Game Show called Win. The victim has her day in court, however, and wins a (insert $$ amount here) lawsuit against the producers. Back in the early Eighties, I remember seeing one of those word-association quiz shows (don’t remember if it was Password or the $25K Pyramid). The following exchange took place: Female guest star partner: “Doe” (i.e., young female deer) Black/Negro/Afro-American guy partner: “Knob”.. 2 second pause.. Howls of laughter from the audience & moderator.. Cut to commercial.. I still remember the look on the guy’s face. ![]() He didn’t catch on until after the laughter erupted from the audience. Boy, was he mortified. Origins: Ho ho ho, another one of those “blacks sure do talk funny” legends; in this case the laugh comes at the expense of an African-American game show contestant whose speech patterns trap him into making the wrong word association. ![]() Password Game Show Words With Peter LawfordHis chance to earn some easy money is blown because he doesn’t talk like the white folks do. Not only does he lose the cash, he’s also roundly laughed at. His humiliation is crushing and immediate. Many of us grow up believing there’s only one correct way to speak our native language, and people who don’t speak like us demonstrate a deplorable lack of culture and education. As such, dialect speakers are commonly characterized as being of lower intelligence or just plain lazy, and this characterization is often used to stigmatize blacks. Linguistic arrogance sometimes becomes a tool racists use to further acceptance of the common unflattering stereotype of African-Americans as unintelligent, lazy objects of fun. Descriptions of this game show event boo-boo bear all the hallmarks of typical apocryphal broadcast events: There is no agreement on details such as when this took place, which show it occurred on ( Password, Super Password, The $10,000 Pyramid, and The $25,000 Pyramid are all frequently mentioned), who the celebrity giving the clues was (Alan Alda, Mike Farrell, and Tom Selleck are the names most often given), or even the sex of the non-celebrity contestant. (Some versions even offer a celebrity such as Nipsey Russell as the contestant who gives the laughable response.) And, of course, we have the stock folkloric “humiliation” ending of the hapless contestant’s suing the show’s producers. Although the incident described is plausible for Password, it makes little or no sense as an anecdote about The $10,000 Pyramid (or one of its higher-priced incarnations). In The $10,000 Pyramid, a contestant had thirty seconds to get his partner to guess up to seven words belonging to a common category. For example, the category might be “Things found in a restaurant,” and the clue-giving contestant would then be presented with words such as “chef,” “silverware,” “menus,” “plates,” etc. For each word, the contestant could use oral clues and gestures to get his partner to guess that word. An all-time favorite “Super Password” show happened on the watch of host Bert Convy. I was in a bonus round that had escalated to an all time high of $50,000. My partner was a Black woman who had won her way into this bonus round with me. We were both pretty keyed up. Password The Game ShowAfter all, a $50,000 prize on this show was very rare. So now we begin. Behind her, I could see a list of 10 words. Behind me, she could see a series of letters. My job: to feed her 10 rapid-fire clues that would trigger in her the right 10 words, all in 60 seconds.
