"It's time to play TAKE 2!!, the picture game and prizes. Brought to you by United States Gypsum, building quality for better buildings, and starring Don McNeill. And now, here's Don!"
Take 2!! (or Take Two) was a short-lived picture puzzle game show.
Gameplay[]
Four pictures were flashed on a screen (ex: Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Amy Vanderbilt, a cat). The first team to ring-in and identify the related items (ex: Jayne and Marilyn were actresses) won the round and scored points. The highest-scoring team won prizes.
The first game pitted two famous couples and the second game featured two non-celebrity couples. The third game pitted the winning celebrity couple against the defeated couple from the second game and the fourth game pitted the two remaining couples.
Trivia[]
This show originated in Evanston, IL, a suburb of Chicago.
Among the celebrities who played were Phyllis Diller, Bob Hope, Hedda Hopper and Jerry Lester.
Host Don McNeill was host of the long-running ABC Radio series The Breakfast Club, which ran from 1933 until 1969.
