chitowngirl August 10, 2022 Share August 10, 2022 Starring Jimmy Fallon and hosted by Keke Palmer, the iconic word-guessing game features celebrities teaming up with everyday contestants. These teams play a modern and refreshed version of the game that's inspired by classic Password, Password Plus, Super Password and the viral celebrity Password games seen on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." Players compete over three rounds of gameplay, taking turns trying to get their partner to guess the password using one-word clues. The team with the most points after two rounds heads to the bonus round, where they have 60 seconds to get the celebrity guests to correctly guess 10 passwords for a chance to win as much as $25,000.

KeithJ August 10, 2022 Share August 10, 2022 We watched this last night and I liked it. I thought Keke was great but watching Fallon act like a buffoon every week is going to get old. Why does he have to be on every week? 1 2 2 Link to comment
Taeolas August 10, 2022 Share August 10, 2022 I liked it enough to keep watching. But I don't like the idea of it being Fallon and Friend each week. Still, I guess it's a small price to pay to bring it back. I do like they did mention Betty White at the start; I'm sure they really wanted to have her do some episodes as they were planning this, but sadly, the Big Guy upstairs needed her more. 1 4 1 Link to comment
argrow August 10, 2022 Share August 10, 2022 I couldn't deal with it. From Fallon's buffoonery to the very loud audience that stands up every time a password is guessed correctly, there is just too much happening for me. 1 9 Link to comment
853fisher August 10, 2022 Share August 10, 2022 I thought this was not far from the best adaptation of the "Password" format that one could reasonably expect in the current TV landscape. Put another way, the things that annoyed me seem to be nearly inevitable these days. I liked the blend of elements from the earlier "1 self-contained word at a time" format and the later "5 words add up to help you solve a puzzle" format with the "10 words in 60 seconds" bonus round. The gameplay was solid, although I fear it may vary with the celebs. I hope they got "it's not Gramps' 'Password,' here's a dirty joke" out of their system with Uranus. However mild, I think there's a time and place to keep it clean, and a slippery slope to the current state of "Family Feud." The bonus round has the most room for improvement. The pause after 30 seconds drains the tension - just let the player pick one celeb and do it all at once. I also thought the words were too easy and an illegal clue should have forfeited the top prize, not led to a replacement word. Also, didn't they say before the first bonus round that the celeb could only guess once before the player had to give another clue? They seemed to break that rule when Jimmy guessed "quick" and then "quiz," but still gave the credit for it. Kiki was doing way too much mugging, and the affected Jackée voice really grated, but maybe she'll calm down. The standing ovations and gasps and so on were too histrionic, but that seems to be the fashion. I guess it's not a dealbreaker for me, just one of those things. I don't know very much about Kimmel since I virtually never watch late-night. I get that this is a pet / vanity project for him but I don't think he is needed in every episode. He struck me as a bit condescending - "buddy" is how you address a toddler, not a fellow adult. But hey, as Allen Ludden once said, "Password's back!" They got a lot closer to what I look for than "Million Dollar Password" with Regis 15 years ago. I've been looking forward to it and think I will enjoy it even if it's not perfect. 2 2 Link to comment

Also not sure how much of Keke saying "that's not the password" every time they guess wrong I can take.

The Tonight Show youtube page has a playlist of the "Hashtags" segment he does, which is the only thing I usually watch on there...but he and his sidekick (whose name I don't even know) sometimes go a little too long on the silly side comments to the point that it gets really annoying. 1 Link to comment
LexieLily August 11, 2022 Share August 11, 2022 Heidi Klum was not a good choice for this particular show. She didn't understand more than half of the clues, and what the heck does urination have to do with a peacock? 2 2 Link to comment
SoMuchTV August 11, 2022 Share August 11, 2022 Well, I watched the first one with John Hamm, and I thought, they’re a little over the top but if they settle down it could be fun. Now I’m about 3/4 through the Heidi Klum episode, and they’ve cranked it up another 50%. It’s like my family is playing a game - the rules are just rough guidelines and talking it out is fair game. I’m missing “Wheel” and “just say the answer, don’t add anything”. Actually it’s still kind of fun. 6 minutes ago, LexieLily said: Heidi Klum was not a good choice for this particular show.

ams1001 August 11, 2022 Share August 11, 2022 WTF was with Heidi dancing around during the bonus round? How distracting for the player. And annoying for the viewer (this viewer, at least). She really doesn't do anything to dispel the stereotype of the dumb blonde model, does she? She didn't even get "Victoria's" Secret and she modeled for them for 13 years. 7 minutes ago, LexieLily said: and what the heck does urination have to do with a peacock? Only as a somewhat vulgar pun (if you're a man you 'pee' from your...😏) which no one was gonna get.

They need to learn from Betty White - the show is about helping the contestant win not about the celebrity. Just like with the reboot of To Tell the Truth, the celebrity becomes the focus of the show over everything else. Fine if you like Fallon's buffoonery but isn't that what he has The Tonight Show for?

She didn't even get "Victoria's" Secret and she modeled for them for 13 years. I thought she was fine. Maybe not as good as Hamm but she got six with the second round guy. And his round had some harder words, I thought. Someone critiquing the show said it felt like Palmer was playing at being a host instead of just being a host. I think as she gets more used to this, it'll be more natural. She has great energy, though and in spite of that, I still like her as a host. I think I'd like this show a little better if they sped things up with fewer shenanigans in between clues/games. But I do like people who can give expressive clues. For instance, I love what the one guy did for braces where he kept his teeth together while saying straighteners. It's too bad he fell apart a bit in the bonus round. Link to comment
SoMuchTV August 11, 2022 Share August 11, 2022 Okay, it’s like TBTB overheard me watching The Chase and said, oh, you don’t like it when we do everything we can to make sure the contestants don’t win? Let’s do everything we can to make sure they do win! Redemption round? I’m there for it! 1 2 Link to comment
rr2911 August 11, 2022 Share August 11, 2022 I was so lookiing forward to Password when I found out a reboot was coming. Oh boy! Boy was I disappointed! First and foremost, Keke Palmer has to go! She's not a good host and makes it all about herself. The "password dude" who announces the word has to go also! He sounds like a surfer dude. Jimmy Fallon just adds too much sillyness for me. The crowd giving a standing ovation after every guessed word is lame. I had to watch the original Password and Password Plus for me to take away the bad taste in my mouth...lol! This is what I would recommend to fix this show if the TPTB won't cancel the show... 1. Get rid of the Palmer and find a host that has the experience in hosting game shows. 2. Go back and look at the original shows and go from there 3. Take the audience out of the equation. We don't need to see them! 4. Get rid of the "surfer dude" who announces the password! 5. Don't make the contestants become clowns. 6. In the Bonus round, have the contestant choose one celebrity and stick with them to guess the word in 30 seconds. If they don't complete it, too bad! If they say an illegal word they can't go back and get a new word. Don't make it so easy for the contestant to win. 7. Get rid of Keke Palmer! 4 3 5 Link to comment
jalady August 11, 2022 Share August 11, 2022 I’ve been watching old episodes on the Buzzer channel. Allen Ludden is the gold standard as the host - by far! Even Bert Convy got on my nerves on Super Password because he inserted himself into the game too much. But Keke Palmer? Insufferable!!! She needs to be replaced yesterday. As someone upthread said, she’s playing at being a game show host, not hosting. I skipped the second episode but I may give it one more try. We’ll see . . . 3 4 Link to comment
PBnJay August 11, 2022 Share August 11, 2022 I thought the first ep with Jon Hamm was okay, he balanced it out somewhat even though I find Fallon insufferable. But I had to turn off the second episode with Heidi Klum. Man, everything was too OTT, more than I could handle. Didn't even make it halfway. Why does every "game" show have to be so "in your face" these days. 7 Link to comment
Omeletsmom August 11, 2022 Share August 11, 2022 I gave this a try but I think I am out after the second episode. There is just too much playing to the audience and WAY too much Jimmy Fallon.

I am sad because I have really fond memories of Password from my childhood, but this is not the show I love and remember. 2 1 Link to comment

853fisher August 11, 2022 Share August 11, 2022 (edited) I agree with the general consensus that the second episode was a move in the wrong direction. Heidi's dancing around at the end was ridiculous, but I thought she did a fair job, especially after the lowered expectations that come from telling anyone who would listen to use small words you're familiar with. Hasn't she lived and worked in English speaking countries for decades? When the "Alphabetics" bonus round was introduced in 1979, you'd win $100 per word if you missed the $5000 jackpot, so up to $900/$5000 or 18%. The percentage crept down as they started adding any $5000 not won to a jackpot fund - the highest it ever got was $55000 - $900/$55000 is 1.6% Now, you could win as much as $9000 and double it to $18000 - $18000/$25000 is 72%. That's just a bit of math that interested me. I think, if I had no prior knowledge of the show, I might think it was sort of neat that contestants get so many chances to win good money. For no particular reason I tend to think there should be just a bit more of a gap between the top prize and the not-quite money, but they're playing it much more light than suspenseful, so I guess it works. $5000 in 1979, by the way, would be just over $20000 today. So that's roughly comparable, with a bit of the traditional bump in prizes from daytime to nighttime shows. 2 hours ago, SHD said: I would probably like this show 100x more if it was Jimmy Kimmel on it instead of Fallon.

Lovecat August 12, 2022 Share August 12, 2022 (edited) This was…A Lot. So much screaming and carrying on! Betty White would never! By the second episode I got really good at using my “skip 30 seconds” button to move quickly through the nonsense. I didn’t need to hear The Voice say what the Password was (it’s right on the screen, and I can read), and one tap of that button usually put me right at the first clue. MUCH better viewing experience. ETA: I don't remember if they did this in other versions, but I didn't like that they kept putting the Password on the screen (after the initial "The Password is...." reveal). I tried to close my eyes and mute the reveal so I could play along, and then the word popped up on the screen again, womp-womp. Did this bug anyone else? I could just "watch" with my eyes closed, but then I miss facial expressions that are so important to the clue-giving. And MAN, I'm sounding like an ablist asshole here, so I should probably just shut up now... Edited August 12, 2022 by Lovecat 3 Link to comment

30 Helens August 15, 2022 Share August 15, 2022 I was pleasantly surprised by this, as I mostly hate the recent game show reboots (Match Game, I’m looking at you.) I particularly enjoyed the first episode, as Jon Hamm and Jimmy Fallon had an easy rapport and the contestants seemed like normal, albeit energetic, people. But then came the second episode… The consensus at my house was that Jimmy indulged in a bit of, um, recreational activity between episodes. (I assume they tape 3-4 at a time.) He was way too wired and jumpy. I usually like Heidi, but she was extremely annoying. I don’t think there was anyone who wasn’t distracted by that weird dancing, including her. The contestants were over the top as well. What did that one guy do, a dinosaur dance? Not cute. I liked that they duplicated so much from the previous incarnations, but the final round is too easy and I agree that they should choose one celebrity or the other. (I guess they don’t want to hurt supermodel feelings.) Plus that second chance round has to go. If everyone wins, there is no suspense and the achievement is never special. I want to see what will happen if they don’t win second chance… will there be a third and a fourth? Will those rounds get increasingly easier? “Name the game we are playing.” “Password?” “Yay! You win!!” I wish they had done this a few years ago, because Betty White would have been a perfect host. (I like that she was remembered in the credits, although a little acknowledgment for Allen Ludden would have been nice, too.) I didn’t hate Keke Palmer, though. She could dial it back a wee bit, but I generally found her likeable and I think she’ll grow into this.

MerBearHou August 17, 2022 Share August 17, 2022 Meghan Trainor was maddening. She really cost the players when she froze in the $25K rounds. I love Jimmy Fallon — I love his spirit and genuine heart and he’s so sharp so he’s good to have on your side. Yes, he gets wound up but I generally don’t mind. He was great with John Hamm. Tonight it almost seemed like Jimmy wanted to tell Meghan to calm down — she was ridiculous. I didn’t see the Heidi Klum episode but I could have guessed that she’d be awful. That is such a disservice to the contestants and it’s NOT fun to watch shows with airheads. KeKe is growing on me, but she is just on the borderline of making it a bit too “look at me” which is not the mark of a good emcee / host. I enjoy it and will stick with it. 5 Link to comment

A bad celeb could tank a contestant's chances. Although he's also responsible for not getting "breakfast."

Yes, it'll be interesting to see how they get to "tummy," but just take it easy, for goodness sake.

The criticism is fair game, but in time she'll learn & adapt to a more professional role, while doing what works for her.

EVERYONE IS ALWAY SHOUTING AND SHOUTING AND SHOUTING AND SHOUTING LOUDER. I grew up in the 80's golden age of game shows, and maybe my rose coloured glasses are on, but they always felt more sedate, more respectful. The prizes weren't always LIFE CHANGING, but often nice to haves, and everyone seemed ot have fun for the most part. Even the excitable shows like Press Your Luck or Card Sharks weren't as screamy as they are today. 4 2 6 Link to comment

Irlandesa August 24, 2022 Share August 24, 2022 (edited) I have mixed feelings on this episode. Jimmy and JB to a lesser extent hurt the first woman. The second "winner" wasn't that good so I knew he wouldn't win but the first woman was giving good clues. So that was frustrating. But because some of the exchanges were solved at the 2 or 3 point level, I think there were more words. And because there were more words, there was less time for shenanigans. That was edited out and it ended up being a calmer game than I expected. I liked that part about it. Edited August 25, 2022 by Irlandesa 2 Link to comment

I thought Keke was great but watching Fallon act like a buffoon every week is going to get old. Why does he have to be on every week? Exactly!!! Just like on The Tonight Show, he makes everything all about him. 1 Link to comment

It still doesn't hurt to relax a minute. I think Keke deserves a pass. As time goes by, she'll get to the point of a veteran. At least she may have the chance to. The criticism is fair game, but in time she'll learn & adapt to a more professional role, while doing what works for her. For what it's worth, she's with Jimmy on the show; not George F Will or Bob Schieffer or somebody similar. Fallon is outgoing; coupled with who Keke is, it's not a surprise The producers of the show (Isn't Jimmy Kimmel one of them) know what they have in Keke. They probably wanted someone that's over the top. That's why they chose her. I don't think she'll change. I saw one and a half episodes and that was enough for me. Link to comment
LexieLily August 29, 2022 Share August 29, 2022 Are they already trying to fail this show, or were they trying to promote it? For the first two week it was on 2X a week and now it's downgraded to only Tuesdays at 9:00. Link to comment
Carey August 29, 2022 Share August 29, 2022 Not sure it's that much of a downgrade. For what it's worth, it's more favorable as several people don't sleep in late on Wednesdays. Plus, we're getting close to the TV year and there aren't that many first run episodes left Link to comment
