He Said, She Said (game show)

Did You Know?

• The show's format was modified and brought back on CBS in 1974 as Tattletales, with Bert Convy as host.
• On Valentine's Day 2016, Buzzr aired six episodes of the series as part of a marathon.

Game play

Each team began with 100 points (later starting with nothing). For the first half of the show, the men were asked questions while the women were taken to an off-stage room; the roles switched for the second half. The off-stage partner could see and hear the on-stage action via a fake monitor using an electronic chroma key process, and Garagiola communicated with them through an on-stage speaker phone. Garagiola read a statement, and the first three contestants to raise their hands gave a one- or two-word answer, which they then explained. Those answers were read one at a time over the phone, and the off-stage partner rang in if she thought her partner had said it. A correct first ring-in earned the couple 25 points; a wrong answer cost the couple 10 points, and the team that originally gave the answer also lost 10 points. In the all-celebrity format, the off-stage partner had to both ring in for the correct answer and relate the same explanation as the on-stage partner to score points; otherwise they lost 10 points. Each game had four questions, with men and women switching positions halfway. For the final question, only two people could raise their hands to answer. The team(s) with the most points won $250 and a full week's stay at any Holiday Inn; the remaining couples each received a $100 gift certificate redeemable at any Holiday Inn. Celebrity couples played for a designated couple in the audience, revealed at the end of the show; in the all-celebrity format, each celebrity couple played for a different audience couple.

Pilots

The original pilot, taped on November 7, 1966, was titled It Had to Be You and was produced for NBC with Ed McMahon as host, featuring all-civilian couples and a mixture of both genders instead of the same. This pilot appeared on YouTube on April 26, 2021, and later aired on Buzzr on September 25, 2021. The pilot for the 1969 series, which survives as a black-and-white kinescope, featured one celebrity couple (Gene Rayburn and his wife Helen) against three civilian couples. A 1971 pilot of the same name used a similar format: Round 1 used dollars instead of points and buzzers instead of hand-raising, with remaining teams receiving $400, $200, and $100 based on finish. In Round 2, three questions were asked per couple in the manner of Tattletales, awarding $50 if all three matched, $100 if two matched, and $150 if only one matched. The two highest scorers advanced to Round 3, where each of the four players got half the bank to bid on a question; a correct answer won the bid, a wrong answer lost it. The top scorer then played the Big Match: a single question where each player wrote an answer on a card; if they matched, they drew from a hopper of balls with dollar amounts from $250 to $1,500 in $250 increments (two of each amount), for a possible total of $3,000.
