If they can find the CBS run of "The Joker's Wild", originally thought to be long-lost, they should also be able to find "Gambit".

*tsk tsk* :) [/quote]
That's the way Carter's segment was shown on What's My Line? at 25. Maybe WML@25 was the source for the footage.[/quote]
Actually, the WML@25 B&W clip was of Gerald Ford, not Jimmy Carter. Carter wasn't elected until 1976 and WML@25 ran in '75.
My problem with the Carter clip was that it came from the syndicated run, not the network era.

I know there's at least one CBS promo in existence because I have a copy of it.
Here's what I want to know: where were "Password," "Tattletales" and "The $10,000 Pyramid"? How about "The $64,000 Question," one of only two game shows in history to finish the prime time season at number one?
But I shouldn't complain too much, at least they showed more game show clips than the ABC special--and last year's NBC retrospective ignored game shows completely.

Nope. Carter was on WML when he was Governor of Georgia in the early 70s, long before he was running for President. And I remember the clip from WML@25 as that's the only place I've ever seen it.

They also showed Martin & Lewis on WML? Isn't that episode missing from GSN's archives? I'm gonna assume they got that from the WML?@25 special, too.
