Everything Goes (game show)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Everything Goes was a game show that aired in the US between 1981 and 1988. The show was made by Scott Sternberg Productions. The show was hosted by comedian Kip Addotta.
The show involved two contestants, male and female, dressed in a different themed costume for each episode (for example: Prom King and Queen, Cowboy and Cowgirl), Addotta and three panellists, made up of popular TV personalities of the period, several of them former judges on The Gong Show.
Each panellist gave their own answer to a question asked by Addotta, and the contestant would have to agree or disagree with the celebrity(much like Hollywood Squares). If the contestant chose correctly, he or she could remove one item of clothing from the opposing player. If not, the contestant would have one of his/her own articles of clothing removed by the opponent. The contestants wore an equal number of items to be removed.
Throughout the course of play, two special rounds were also used: in one, three attractive, fully-clothed women came out on stage, then disappeared behind a wall with strategically-placed doors. Then, Kip would open three doors, revealing three pairs of bare breasts. The object was for the contestant to match the breasts to the correct clothed woman. A similar round for the female contestant involved her having to match three unclothed male posteriors to their rightful owners.
At the end of the game, one final question determined the outcome of the game. Whoever won that question won the game, some prizes and the right to take off all of the other person's clothes (except his/her G-string).
In 1983, a compilation of clips from the show - interspersed with monologue from Addotta - 'The Best of Everything Goes' was released by Active Home Video. This is no longer commercially available, and recordings of the show are highly sought after by enthusiasts.
