Ep 18: In the Butt, Bob!

In the what!?? You heard it right! Or did you? This episode we assess the wild world of ‘70s game shows—the questions, the answers, the blinking lights, the hosts (and hostesses), the celebrities, the ridiculous music, and most importantly, the sex! This was the peak of the sexy game show era and we explore the most popular and notorious of these shows on this episode. We evaluate the future prospects of Match Game, Family Feud, Hollywood Squares and The Newlywed Game to decide if they will stand the test of time and, along the way, we learn…

• Who Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly were and why you should care
• What Dirty Gerdie liked to put on her ______.
• How Olga from Pennsylvania said the naughtiest thing ever to air on TV and why it’s even dirtier than the legend
