About Password

Password first aired on CBS in 1961, with Allen Ludden asking each pair to coax a secret word out of a partner using nothing but single-word clues. The viewers at home were let in on the answer, which is half the fun, since you sat there knowing it while a famous guest stumbled right past it. Ludden married Betty White in 1963, and she became the show's best-known player before she ever became a household name for other reasons.
