Still not getting it. George

The star underwent 4-5 hours of makeup and prosthetic applications to transform into his character, not including the two hours it took to take it all off, and had to wear multiple fat suits during filming, which took place in the middle of summer. Because of the latex, he experienced heat rashes, scars, scratches and infections. There was a time limit on how long he could be in the suit while filming, maxing out at six hours because of the poor ventilation. "They got better and better at air-conditioning me, just keeping me calm," Allen told ABC News of the later films. For one week in 1994, the star of this movie had the #1 movie (this one), the #1 TV show, and the #1 New York Times best seller. The star has a criminal record, and Disney has a strict no hiring of ex-cons policy. An exception was made in this case. (Apparently, not so strict.) On older releases of the film, the star made a sarcastic remark in the movie, which included the line "1-800-SPANK-ME." During the film's release, a woman from near Cleveland, Ohio called the supposedly-fictional number for her curious grandchildren. It turned out to be a phone sex line. However, it wasn't until 1997, when Disney received complaints from parents whose children called the number and racked up huge phone bills, did the studio take action and cut the line for future releases. Disney also said that they would purchase the phone number to disconnect the service. This part of the film is also cut in the DVD's release and on Disney+. On television broadcasts, the number is changed to 1-800-POUND. The film was originally going to be released by Hollywood Pictures, but after positive reactions from test screenings among children, it was shifted to a Walt Disney Pictures release. Hollywood Pictures was still credited and was mentioned in the early teaser trailer. Bill Murray and Chevy Chase both turned down offers to play the lead role. George

By "careers," I meant their times in the major leagues, not their early lives. And, yes, they were all Hall-of-Famers. This will probably make it a LOT easier, but think of WHERE they played. George

Perhaps open up a Wikipedia (or other site) page for each one and see if something stands out to you. George

They were all men, too; but that doesn't mean there weren't any differences. George

"Yellow Submarine" is, of course, correct. George

Sports trivia. Which one of these is different from the others, and why: Jimmy Foxx, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays? Note: it's not about statistics. You could say that Aaron was the only one with more than 750 HR, but you could just as easily say that Gehrig was the only one with fewer than 500. Think about their careers. As with Human's post, there's a "broad strokes" answer, but there's also a fine point to it. George

That's not the most well-known version... George

Clint Howard. He has better-than-cameo appearances in a lot of movies (most directed by his brother); but I don't think he's had what one would call a starring role in anything. I don't think I would have gotten it from anyone other than Balok. (Star Trek, "The Corbomite Maneuver") George

Correct. Others: Originally, a celebrity would secretly receive a name and try to convey it to a contestant with homophones (sort of like the "Pictionary" threads here). For example: "Someone who can't hear is" -- DEAF. "The fifth letter of the alphabet is" --E. "You moor a boat at a" -- DOCK DEAF + E + DOCK --> Daffy Duck. In a later version, a team of panelists helped the contestant. You Don't Say Contestants answered general knowledge toss-up questions posed by the host, earning $5 for a correct answer or losing that amount for a miss. Unlike most other game shows of the time, though, only the first contestant to buzz in could answer a question; a miss took it out of play for the other two. At certain points during the game, the contestant in the lead participated in an "Instant Bargain" and was offered the opportunity to purchase merchandise at a bargain price. The selling price for the item, generally the value of one or more questions, was then deducted from the contestant's score, and the prize was theirs to keep regardless of the game's outcome. Sale of the Century The high school version of College Bowl. (Incidentally, I was my high school's team captain two years.) It's Academic Three teams competed. Each team began with a base time of 1 minute and 30 seconds. In the first round of the game, one contestant from each team was shown a grocery item and asked to guess its retail price. The team who came the closest won the item and an additional 15 seconds were added to their time. Four items were shown. In the second round of the game, the contestant from each team who did not play the first round went on a shopping spree through the market, using the time accumulated. Bonus items worth $10 to $100 were also spread throughout the store. All teams kept every item they picked up, with the team with the highest total in groceries, bonus prizes and other items winning the right to return to the show and play in the next game. Teams remained on the show until they were defeated or until they reached the winnings cap of $20,000. Supermarket Sweep One of the funniest things I remember from Hollywood Squares was when Tony Randall was asked a question. His response: "I don't know. And I feel no less a man for not knowing." The contestant chose not to answer the question, so they asked Randall another. "I don't know that either." Again, the contestant demurred. They asked Randall a third question, which he DID answer. The contestant opined that Randall wouldn't have answered if he hadn't known the answer, so he agreed and won the square. I use that "I feel no less a man for -- " a lot. George

Yes. It was also a test of the "cuss-blocker." George

Get married and stay married? I'm sure that if (when?) you give the answer, it will make sense with the clues; but I'm still not getting what you're looking for. George

Here are five game shows from the 1960's. Name one to win the round. (Note some shows were also in the late 50's or early 70's.) I would have thought that at least #5 was recognizable. I've added #6, which should be even easier. Originally, a celebrity would secretly receive a name and try to convey it to a contestant with homophones (sort of like the "Pictionary" threads here).

In the case of the famous mystery guest each week, the panel sought to determine the identity of the celebrity. Panelists were required to probe by asking only yes-no questions. Peter Marshall asked questions of panelists (usually "factoids," as in "According to Good Housekeeping, what is America's favorite vegetable?"). The panelist would give an answer, and a contestant (two per game) would decide whether the answer was true or false. A correct decision resulted in the contestant "winning" that panelist's position. If a panelist refused to give an answer, the contestant could answer the question himself. If he chose not to guess (and, in my recollection, no one ever did), another question was given to the panelist. George

Flash starts its final season soon. I hope there are lots of cameos. George

For one week in 1994, the star of this movie had the #1 movie (this one), the #1 TV show, and the #1 New York Times best seller.
