The Newlywed Game - "In The Ass"

"In The Ass"

The Newlywed Game was the subject of an urban legend for many years. The story, which had several variations, had Bob Eubanks asking a contestant, "Where is the weirdest place where you have ever had the urge to make whoopee?" in one episode. The contestant supposedly responded "in the ass," implying anal intercourse. Eubanks denied that the incident occurred for many years.

However, on a 2002 NBC special, The Most Outrageous Game Show Moments, Eubanks reluctantly presented a clip from a 1977 episode where he asked a wife named Olga the exact question. After drawing a blank, and prodded by Eubanks to give an answer, the wife responded "In the ass" with "ass" bleeped out. As everyone in the studio laughed uproariously, Eubanks clarified the question, asking for the weirdest location. Her husband, Hank, provided the answer "In the car," one that had drawn laughter and applause during the husbands-only segment with Eubanks quipping, "I'm going to take the side streets hereafter."

The clip was later requested by fans and aired numerous times in future Most Outrageous Game Show Moments specials until the fourth episode in which Eubanks explained the clip was being "retired." The clip also appeared (uncensored) in the 2002 film Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, about the life of producer Barris.
