RIP, Jim Lange. Thanks for all the afternoon laughs, just before The Newlywed Game. Some interesting appearances on Langes Dating Game tv show include: BARRY WILLIAMS, Greg Brady, The Brady Bunch (appeared in 1972 1/2. Got that? 1972 and ONE-HALF!) youtu.be/sZGNOXhfKJM MAUREEN McCORMICK, Marcia on The Brady Bunch (1971 and 1973) ... youtu.be/FNu0QKanvjo?t=32s I dont see any other appearances by members of The Brady Bunch. Interesting though, that producers chose Williams and McCormick, since they were hot and heavy in real life. GROUCHO MARX, as a prank on his daughter Melinda, who was Batchelor No. 1 (1967): youtu.be/guRCKB7r_LA FARRAH FAWCETT: youtu.be/2k5V00hYVS4 MICHAEL JACKSON: youtu.be/HkrY2XPF35Q JOHN RITTER: youtu.be/bqyx3Ed7GZw ANDY KAUFMAN: youtu.be/9Z7RLOiqzdk I didnt watch the entire clip so Im not sure if he was in his Mighty Mouse character. Wouldnt that be a hoot of a date though? I know all the words to the song, not just ... MIGHTY MOUSE ... RODNEY JAMES ALCALA, serial killer: youtu.be/9Uf95INZmWI Others included: PAT PAULSEN (I guess between runs for POTUS -- I still think we really should have tried him out for at least one term.) WILLIE AMES, RON HOWARD, PHIL HARTMAN, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER DANNY BONADUCE, (That voice would have grated on me mercilessly. He does have the face for radio though). BILL BIXBY, DESI ARNAZ JR., FAMOUS AMOS (yes, there IS one: Wally Amos was born on July 1, 1936, in Tallahassee, Florida. He started in the mail room of the William Morris Agency and in 1962 became the first black talent agent in their history. As an agent, he signed Simon & Garfunkel and headed the agencys rock n roll department. In 1975, he opened the first Famous Amos store. In 1998, Keebler purchased the brand, keeping Amos as the spokesperson). KAREN and RICHARD CARPENTER ... again, I didnt watch this episode so I dont know if they were opponents or prospective partners ... you know what I mean?!). THIS READ IS getting too long. You can read the entire list at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dating_Game One more I could not resist: VINCENT PRICE! Celebrities were allowed to disguise their voice on the show. Who could ever miss Vincents distinctive voice and voice pattern? He could be reading, Twas the night before Christmas, and his voice would just naturally make it sound scary. Then everyone sits closer to one another, under the same blanket, not wanting the spell hes got on them to end, yet still so scared you cant take your eyes off this wreck in the road. While his voice might seem familiar on the show, if you didnt know it was Vincent Price until the end, do you think youd consider making a date with him? Before I close here, yes. THAT actually happened on The Newlywed Game. Eubanks just completely forgot about it, and did not believe it ever happened until, decades later, he was shown the tape: snopes/radiotv/tv/newlywed.asp
