Dick Clark's mic on Pyramid

(1/2) > >>

cmjb13:
Any reason why he had to use a clip on mic that had a cable that stretched a long ways as opposed to one that didn't?

Pyramid80:
I have always wondered the same thing myself.  They did make cordless mic's back then, in the 80's anyway.  Maybe he didn't want to have the battery pack thing strapped to his belt or something.

SteveRep:
Probably the same personal preference that has Bob Barker still using a corded mic on TPIR.

If any show screams for a wireless handheld, isn't it TPIR?

jrjgames:
Im assuming the same reason that Bob said, since Bob walks all over studio 33, a wireless mic would cut out.

Plus I think Dick liked to swing and play with the cord! :)

Argo:
just wondering, where did the wire go for those? i saw a few pictures of a few shows, and Jack Narz had one, and the cord would come out of his pant leg, or looked like it did. Also, on one of the publicity pics for the 80s pyramid, they had a pic of 2 celebrities and Dick in the middle, with an ecm-51, holding it rather oddly.

Dat Weird.

Btw, it seemed that all game shows other than MG/GT shows had the use of ECM-51. Was this just a coinsidence or was there a reason? or did it just happen to be that i havent seen a non MG/GT show that has used those.

Thanks
