TV FLASHBACK : TATTLE TALES .. 1977 / 1982


BERT CONVY

 Another of Joan's gameshow appearances was the popular "TattleTales". Joan is listed as appearing on episodes in 1975 and 1977 as well as in 1982.. I have only seen the 1982 programs and found her listed in 1975 as appearing with ZZA ZZA Gabor and then husband Jack Ryan, Bill and Ann Cullen and Ron Kass , who Joan was married to at the time.. I haven't seen this edition..I have no details of the 1977 show..

"Tattle-Tales" first aired in 1974 and finished it's run in 1978, then the series was revived in 1982 and lasted until 1984. It was hosted by the late Bert Convy and the game consisted of three pairs of celebrity couples, who are split up, with one half on the panel and the other halves in a back room and seen on a tv screen. While one half answers questions, the other half can't hear and then they have to guess the answer.. The Clip above is from Joan's 1982 edition with then husband Ron Kass. Also on the show was Barbi Benton and George Gradow, and Gene and Helen Rayburn ...The 80's version did not always feature married couples as it sometimes had special editions with TV couples, best friends ..etc...It reminds me of the British game show "Mr & Mrs"...
