Donny'll Be There for Them

From Entertainment Weekly's web site:
DANNY AND DONNY Note to Hollywood agents: You have only a few more opportunities to squeeze your clients into bizarre cameos on ''Friends.'' For instance: In a February sweeps episode, a past-his-prime stripper at Phoebe's bachelorette party will be played by Danny DeVito. (Um, was there ever a time when people would have paid to see Danny DeVito in a G-string?) Appearing on that same episode, fully clothed and playing himself, will be Donny Osmond, whom Joey meets when the soap actor appears as a celebrity guest on Osmond's ''Pyramid'' game show. Hmm, thongs, Danny DeVito, Donny Osmond … how about, ''Things We Never Thought We'd Mention in the Same Breath''?

Interesting. Can someone give me details about the episode of The Odd Couple where Oscar and Felix were on Password together? I'm assuming that this will be the first episode of a TV show where a character is a celebrity on an "ordinary" edition of a real game show.

Zach will be along with an exhaustive list of TV shows that disprove this assumption shortly.

Oscar and Felix happen to be eating at the same New York restaurant where Allen Ludden and Betty White are dining, and Allen invites Oscar to be a celebrity on NY-based episodes of Password, and Felix connives to be his partner (under the theory that celebrities could pick their contestant partners). Felix's thought process for giving and receiving clues, however, proves to be a little unorthodox on the air.
"The password is... gravy."
Betty: "Sauce."
Partner: "Mayonnaise?"
Oscar: "Meat."
Felix: "Lincoln!"

I forgot what Oscar's guess for the password "bird" was, but Felix's clue of "Aristophones"* was waaaaaaaay out of left field. During the commercial, Felix explains his clue, but Oscar didn't care. "Aristophones is ridiculous!" Guess what happened next...
"The password is 'ridiculous'".
Oscar (angrily): ARISTOPHONES!
Felix: Ridiculous.
