Title: "Dating Game" fight...
Post by: aaron sica on March 13, 2005, 09:10:00 PM
One of the new "Page O'Clips" is a "fight" that happened on "Dating Game". Anyone care to expand on this one? :)

All three bachelors were stuntmen. It was an April Fools' gag. By the way, do you recognize the bachelorette? Here's your clue: "Good morning, Angels".

I was going to ask about this too. My guess is that this was a joke of some sort, because the acting was horrible.

EDIT: And after reading Don's post, I know it was a joke.

Yeah, you could tell it was definitely staged for April Fool's Day (or before, since it was a primetime show that aired a night or 2 prior)...they wouldn't have won an Emmy for a gag like that.

I should've included in that clip Jim's explanation that it was April Fools' Day and that the entire thing was staged. It might have been more engaging if it weren't so obviously fake.

Incidentally, those same 3 guys appeared a few times on The Gong Show as stage hands who wind up arguing and doing their whole fighting schtick (and sometimes even taking down Chuck in the process.)

Oh, would they be the same ones where they took Chuck down and he smashed the breakaway piano?

S¡ señor.

I think I have that one, actually. I have to dig. They appeared at least 3 times.

Wasn't there supposed to be a bit from "Three's a Crowd" too?  Not like I'm suggesting that anyone watch the show, or tape it, but I only got the Dating Game thing, and the Women's Newlywed Game one.

Right in between the two was one from Three's a Crowd.
