Time to dig into my archives for something relatively rare. Here’s an episode of It’s Your Bet taped in October 1969.
In today’s episode, a young Tom Kennedy is subbing for Hal March (who unfortunately did not return and eventually passed a few months later). Ironically, one of Tom’s guests today would later replace him as host of this show! Anyhow, I hope you enjoy the show.

Here's an episode of It's Your Bet in 1969.
Tom Kennedy passed away October 7, 2020. Rest In Peace
Do you have the one with James Drury?
RIP Lyle Waggoner & Tom Kennedy
A fun format, but ooh boy was the execution questionable. The director would often fail to switch cameras in time, so the voice often didn't match the people on screen; no audience applause after every reveal, not even a sound effect — even with the lonely banter, the show felt empty. I would've expected a wide shot when points were awarded to the other team, so viewers could see the displays changing.
Five days after the Mets won the World Series
Must've been '69 – if based on the pic quality of the camera focused on Tom Kennedy, it would seem NBC's studios at this remove were still using the TK-41C workhorses, no? (Prior to their being replaced with the TK-44A's.)
I'm surprised WMAQ Ch. 5 (NBC O&O) never aired this show and didn't air on any Chicago station
Imogene?
Wow this was almost 50 years ago.
This is one game I don't remember.Linda Kaye Henning and Mike Minor of Petticoat Junction played on a 1973 episode of this.I'd love to watch it!
"We got it leave it alone" bwahahaha
Imogene Coca and, King Donovan? Honestly, I had no idea! I do know he guested, on one of my favourite episodes, of "The Beverly Hillbillies."
Hal March is best remembered for emceeing the claasic 1950s game show "The $64,000 Question", which ran for three successful seasons (1955-58). It was this series that launched the era of
question and answer games during the mid 1950s, only to
crash and burn when contestants were informed of the answers
and the shows were rigged. One well-known producer,Jack
Barry,who produced and emceed the popular,yet controversial
quiz show"21" was implicated in the quiz show scandals and had
to take a ten-year sabbatical (1958-68) from television. In 1972,Barry made a comeback on the tube with, "The Joker's
Wild". March,who is not shown here,also made a comeback with
"It's Your Bet" in 1969, but he left in mid-1970; March was dead of
lung cancer. Tom Kennedy is host in this episode shown here.
And Lyle and Sharon manufacture… boats… I think it is or some kind of water sport item. Anyway he achieved his dream which apparently was NOT the Carol Burnett Show.
aunt edna is on it's your bet
Reminds me of Sonya Barron and Kery Khiv calling me "sweetheart ".
Wasn't there a blooper from this show that involved Burt Reynolds?? Thought I saw a clip on one of those anthology shows.
Well, that was awkwardly paced.
I sure hope this show would be on Buzzr
This theme music is so Austin Power-ish.
I think this game was terrific, sort of like the newlywed game
Original host Hal March died of lung cancer on January 19,1970 at the age of 49. Very sad..RIP Hal March 4/22/20-1/19/70,You are sorely missed.
The NBC owned and operated stations primarily carried this, and was syndicated nationally through NBC Films (in New York, it replaced Heatter-Quigley's "PDQ" in 1969, weekdays at 1pm).
Here's what aired in primetime the date it was taped (because some air dates varied with some of these early syndicated shows):
ABC- The Mod Squad, ABC Movie of the Week (The Monk), Marcus Welby M.D.
CBS- The Lancer, The Red Skelton Hour, The Governor and J.J., 60 Minutes
NBC- I Dream of Jeannie, The Debbie Reynolds Show, Julia, NBC Tuesday Night at the Movies (The Lonely Profession)
I watched at least two of these episodes being taped at KCST 39 in San Diego. What a great time that was! Some of the guests were Michael Douglas, Brenda Vaccaro, and Jack Carter. This really peaked my interest in the television industry and electronics. Oh yes, I must not forget, special thanks to Mike Smith and Jay King of KCST!
The show was syndicated so your NBC channel must of dumped it and your CBC channel grabbed it.
John Harlan said the date of your marriage, but did not specify the full date including year. However in those days, they never tried anything like that to embarrass celebs. I think they deserved the points.
best way to introduce the cast. keep loading them up on a rotating device that has 1969 written all over it.
hard to believe Lyle Wagoner is still alive and well and still married to his wife!!
First, March hosted until the end of 1969, when health issues forced him to step down. Then, Dick Gautier took over for the rest of the first season and the entirety of the second season. Tom Kennedy hosted the third season (leaving to do "Split Second"), and then Waggoner hosted the final season.
My mom used to watch this every day at 3:30 on KNBC. I remember that the Lyle Waggoner version didn't air on KNBC in Los Angeles but on KNXT, the CBS affiliate (at 3:30 as well) and was A Jatlam Production. I believe that version was taped in San Diego, but I could be wrong.
The set looks like a bunch of watercolor paint containers.
WKYC-TV is now with Gannett.
It is…though I don't know if that is good or bad in this case.
I believe this show had four different hosts in each of its four seasons (Hal March, Dick Gautier, Tom Kennedy and Lyle Waggoner). That's pretty unique.
This show would be ripe for a revival.
In eleven years, history will repeat itself to Tom Kennedy.
Heh, the preamble to french/france incident dates back to this video's airdate.
IIRC, the NBC owned-and-operated stations at the time were WNBC-TV, New York, KNBC-TV, Los Angeles, WMAQ-TV, Chicago, WRC-TV, Washington, and WKYC-TV, Cleveland.
