Not THAT one. The one I remember is the one where Rip Taylor was the MC and always awarded the winner with
a bunch of carrots.

Yep, had Jean, Jean, the dancing machine on it.:sentimental:

Chuck Barris was the emcee that I remembered, although I also remember Rip Taylor from other TV variety shows. I think Barris also started "The Dating Game." This goes off topic, but didn't the Dating Game have a serial killer on it once? I can't remember the outcome. I guess that I will have To Google it now. I am curious.
