* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Bill ''loved'' to do this.
** One prize on ''Price'' was a breakfront with a built-in stereo, record player, and fold-out bed.
{{quote| '''Bill''': Something like this probably took a lot of thinking, didn't it? That's amazing, it's a complete [[Lampshaded Double Entendre|entertainment]] unit!<br />
(''cue [[Big Applesauce|New York]] audience laughing their hearts out, and Bill acting very coy'') }}
** A famous one from Joe Garagiola's tenure as host of ''To Tell The Truth'' (taped May 18, 1977), when Bill [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxEa1hCxETA explained] why he had to disqualify himself during a game with a contestant who trained birds.
{{quote| '''Bill''': It was an accident. Before the show I walked into the bathroom, and there was [the contestant] with his bird in his hand.}}
** From the ''Hot Potato'' premiere (January 23, 1984), a line mocked by the jerks of GSN's ''Faux Pause'':
{{quote| '''Bill''': Diane, I couldn't see your nametag there. It was facing away from me for the best reason in the world.}}
* [[The Short Guy with Glasses]]
* [[Urban Legends]]: According to ''Total Television'', Bill replaced Dennis James as host of the syndicated game ''PDQ'' (1965-69) later in its run. No other reference book supports this, and the existence of an episode taped October 3, 1968 with James as host effectively ruled this false. Cullen may have filled in, but there is no evidence of this, either.
