and what a great game it was. Still is, in concept.

Password was dumbed-down a bit for the 80's reboot (reruns can be seen on Prime), then totally lost the magic when Alan Ludden died. Sounds like it's been dumbed-down to the max for 2022 like everything else: most film, sports, politics, news. etc.

Just what is the appeal with Fallon? Kimmel and Colbert smoke him every night. He makes the Tonight Show is unwatchable.
