Rare Sondheim footage

On Sunday, May 16, at 3 p.m. ET, the digital broadcast TV network Buzzr will air a rare episode of the Goodson-Todman game show Password that features Stephen Sondheim. In the episode, which originally aired over CBS on Dec. 11, 1966, host Allen Ludden welcomes celebrity contestants Sondheim and Lee Remick (who had starred in Sondheim’s 1964 musical, Anyone Can Whistle) playing against fellow performers Peter Lawford and Audrey Meadows. It was the second game show in which Sondheim had appeared during 1966, following the Nov. 1 episode of Goodson-Todman’s Match Game. Below is a clip of that Password episode, which hasn’t been seen in nearly 55 years.
