Many years ago my friend Dan was channel surfing and suddenly, lo and behold, there was Jackie Fox of The Runaways on the Dating Game! He scrambled for a tape and popped it in just in time to catch the beginning of Ms. Fox's round. The following is a transcript of what got caught on tape;
MC]Good luck bachelors, here we go.
JF]Great we'll start with Mr. California, bachelor #3,If I had called you last night at 4:00am and told you you were invited to a come as you are party what would you have looked like when you showed up at my door?
B#3]Ah, I'd try and keep it....um, above board uh, a nice pair of slacks,hard shoes and uh...
JF]That's what you would have been wearing at 4 in the morning?
B#3]Oh, come as you are,4 in the morning.
MC][behind B#3]Yeah coming at 4 in the morning, yeah.
JF]Last night.
B#3]Well I uh,I don't wear too much..um, when I retire, uh....[unintelligable]
JF]Ya mean we could have had.....we could have had the party at the Police station,right?[Jackie laughs]
B#3]Possibly
JF]How about you bachelor #2
B#2]Naked [Naaayyyykeddd!!],...no..
JF]Great, thank you very much bachelor #2,bachelor #1 what about you?
B#1]Well, first of all,I'll tell you the truth bachelor #3 and bachelor #2's answers kinda mixed me up and the question I kinda lost, can you repeat it for me one more time?
JF][Repeats original question]
B#1]I would have came, exactly what I looked like when I was on the telephone, which probably would have been a nice pair of....trunks
JF]Yes....
B#1]I tell ya the truth at 4 o'clock in the morning most of the time I don't know where the **** I am!
JF]What were....
B#1]That's a good question, no it's a good question but....
JF]What were you doing on the phone at 4 in the morning?
B#1]At the phone?
MC]Answering your call Jackie?
B#1]I don't know, if you called, I don't know Jackie to tell you the truth at 4 o'clock in the morning most likely I'd be sitting there, uh, dreaming about you.
JF]Awww, how sweet. Bachelor #3 who's the one woman in the world you wouldn't want to go on a date with?
B#3]Uh, I'd probably say uh, my mother, it uh...
JF][in effected British accent?]Why, wouldn't you want to take your mother out?
B#3]Well, she's uh...sure I'd love to take her out I think she's, uh....extremely intelligent and very good looking, but uh, there's a little difference in age...
JF]Well lets hope so!
B#3]...and I think I can relate closer to....
JF]Bachelor #2 If you and I were both 5 years old and a big mean bully stole my lollipop, how would you get it back for me?
B#2]I'd go kick him in the shin.
JF]Great, I'd bet he'd love you for that, how about you #1?
B#1]I'd go back to my old neighborhood and get all my friends and I'd chase him out of town.
JF]Uh huh, bachelor #3, You're the world's first Rock and Roll preacher,let me hear your sermon and keep preaching until I stop you.
B#3]Rock and Roll sermon?[completely perplexed!!]
JF]Yup!
MC]A preacher, yeah a preacher.
JF]C'mon you got a whole congregation out there!
MC]Hallelujah #3
B#3]Well, we bring ya here tonight to sing a little song and praise the Lord...
JF]Thank you Rev. and we'll see you later, much later. Bachelor #2 how about you?
B#2]After my sermon I want you to stick all your money in my hat, so I can go down to the nearest liquor store and blow all my money!
JF]Are you gonna give me a cut? What's my cut of that going to be?
B#2]Probably 50%
JF]50%?
B#2]I'm even, I'm even!
JF]Bachelor #1 let me hear your favorite roses are red poem only instead of roses use matzo balls and instead of violets use chicken soup.
B#1]Matzo balls and chicken...?
JF]Yeah, matzo balls and chicken soup.
B#1]Matzo balls and chicken soup are my favorite dish,I eat it every night just to keep me[beeped].
JF]Ooooohh!
MC]All right Jackie now you're gonna have to make up your mind, figure out which one of our bachelors you're gonna choose and we'll be right back with her decision after these words.
MC]All right Jackie they tried over there and now we've reached that magic moment where you're gonna have to tell everybody who is your favorite,who gets the date with you will it be bachelor #1, bachelor #2 or bachelor #3,who is the guy, alright.
JF]It wasn't easy, it's bachelor #2

FYI, the real name of the guy I picked (or, at least, his actual stage name) was John Laughlin and he was an actor. At that time going on the Dating Game paid union minimums and residuals for actors, so a lot of people starting out went on under fake names, as did comedians and others who wanted exposure for their characters. I was in the first game on the episode I was on, but one of the three guys in the second game was Paul Reubens in one of his earliest appearances as Pee Wee Herman and he was hilarious.
This thread made me curious about the guy I picked so I looked him up on IMDB. Here's the link if you're curious:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0490855/
Guess he's not blonde anymore. I remember running into him years later when he was at an audition somewhere where I was working and he didn't recognize me until I reminded him who I was. And then he seemed embarassed about it because there were other people in the room and I don't think he wanted anyone to know he'd been on the Dating Game.
I went on the show because my roommate worked for Chuck Barris Productions getting show candidates to come in and she hadn't met her quota one week. I showed up to help her out, mouthed off because I wasn't taking anything other than being counted seriously, and then, of course, they loved the mouthing off and decided they had to put me on the show.
Last note about it: I went on the trip (not with the guy I picked -- he didn't want to go so I took a friend) and it ended up being a "fat farm" which fed only 500 calories a day! The poor *******ne had to go out-of-pocket to feed us. And I never got my Norma Kamali bathing suit, which I actually really wanted because she was a very hot designer then and the bathing suit was very cool and very expensive. Oh well... glad you guys find the episode amusing. Now if I could only figure out why this board seems to find *******ne a dirty word... if you can't figure it out from the context it's the very non-naughty word for the person who accompanies two people somewhere and keeps an eye on them. Weird.
Heh - nice story Jackie. Thanks very much for taking the shame to share it with the fans and hang out here... [img]smile.gif[/img]
By the way, what are you up to - musically these days? You still playing?
As for the forum censors, I'm not sure. You can't even say **** (sounds the same as 'dam') and **** ('rap' with a c) on here... [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Hostboard is in the process of preparing to switch to the new HB3 system, which is supposed to be a big improvement over the current HB2.
I'm hoping the auto-censor won't be so "sensitive' then.
I can't even mention **** Jagger by name!

Behind-the-scenes info is interesting stuff.
