Much as I've never been a huge fan of Pyramid, Dick Clark hosting it always made it more watchable for me. Of all the difficult tasks an emcee has to do, I've no doubt that denying her that huge win, and others for similar reasons, had to be one of the most difficult parts of hosting this game. I believe Dick handled this as well as could be expected. Most hosts today would not have even cared enough to pay attention to what was being said, let alone making such a difficult decision on the spot like that. Dick was always about the integrity of the game, always. There will never be another like him.

This is my favorite game show of all time. Loved Dick Clark in it, too.

Loved Pyramid and Dick Clark. Just like with The Price is Right and Bob Barker, Dick Clark et al. were there for us kids during sick days or in the hot summer days. Professional and cared for the contestants.

Charles Siebert...one of the better players on this show, IMO.

I love how the board operator sheepishly turns the "Spicy Foods" category back after Dick reveals that they lost. 😂

I remember this episode. With only a few seconds left, it almost wasn't going to happen. Nancy later came back to the Winner's Circle with Betty and won $25, 000.

Well, better to let her know right then instead of having to wait until after the commercial break! It happens though when people get caught in the trap of the Winner's Circle.

It amazing she got ‘things that repeat’. That’s the toughest one there.

The spicy foods one was easy, all he had to do was just start listing a bunch of hot peppers, jalapeno peppers, habanero peppers, etc. She would have certainly said the keyword 'spicy'.

The contestant shrieks "WHAAT" in half celebration/half bewilderment. Hilarious WHAAT

0:59 = he should've been buzzed INSTANTLY there, since he said "hungarian food" and the clue was "Spicy FOODS" -- so even if he hadn't have said the "foods with paprika" part, he still would've been disqualified....the judges were definitely asleep at the wheel here :(

I wish the official rule book for this show detailing what is and what isn't an acceptable clue or response was published online somewhere.

Holy crap. The winner music plays, the board lights up, the audience is applauding, all the money is there and NO NO NO...wow. Ugh! Charlie knew he'd given a bad clue--you can see the disappointed look on his face at 1:03 when they tried to give it to her, and also after he mentioned he said "Hungarian Food."

Dick did the right thing here. This show always reviewed things during commercial break and it would have been much more heartbreaking to think you won the money and being told you didn't (and that did happen a few times on this show).
