**Classic Daytime Game Shows of the '60s and '70s** 1. Concentration 2. Let’s Make a Deal 3. Match Game 4. Hollywood Squares 5. Jeopardy! 6. Password 7. Beat the Clock > The other common element in the stunts was to get one of the contestants messy in some way often involving whipped cream, pancake batter, and such (usually limited to the husband of the couple). While it was not a part of every stunt, and sometimes it didn’t even happen in an episode, it was common enough that when a couple brought a child on, Collyer would often ask what they thought the parents might have to do and the child would often respond “get whipped cream in their face”. Many times the wife would be shown a task, be blindfolded, and then her husband would be quietly brought out and unknown to her she would be covering him with some sort of mess. Awful, awful show. ---
