Carnie Wilson Out & Bob Eubanks Back in on "The Newlywed Game" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Do some of your childhood memories include hazy images of a winking game show host who would ask couples personal questions that would make them squirm in their polyester pantsuits?

The winking host was none other than Bob Eubanks and the show was The Newlywed Game in which the words "making whoopee" were said as a euphemism for having sex, much to the curiosity and confusion of many a child of the 1970s.

If you have never seen The Newlywed Game, you'll soon have your chance. The show is set to return, reports the New York Times, with its original host asking a whole new contingent of newlyweds a whole new set of questions on January 7 on the Game Show Network.

Eubanks noted in the article the rather inbalanced trade between the information offered up by the contestants and the prizes proffered: "We peered into people's bedrooms," he said. "And what did the contestants get for that? Rice-a-Roni or a can of Turtle Wax."

And celluloid memories to show the children that may have come after the car got waxed. That's not a euphemism. But sure sounds like it could be one, couldn't it, Mr. Eubanks?

Yes, but it's just for one episode, it's not a permanent thing.
