** "Your genital organs" for "Things Below the Waist". The contestant guessed "Things You Touch", "[[A Date with Rosie Palms|Things You Stroke]]", and "Things You Rub".

* And in a special game in which ''[[Taxi]]'' co-stars Tony Danza and Marilu Henner were teamed up, Tony gave the clue "I like to put this all over you" for "Shaving Cream".

 

 

== ''New $25,000'' (1982-87, 1988) ==

* Late 1982 (''New''): Announcer Jack Clark apparently didn't realize his [[Is This Thing Still On?|microphone was still on]] after he signed-off, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3g9MfcoBXgg started whistling along] to the [[Ear Worm]] theme music.

* October 16, 1985: Dick Clark [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blIaH8-MwWU got his digits flipped] on the "brand new 1968 [sic] automobile" that the contestant could win in the Mystery 7 category. The judge even buzzed him for his slip-up. It was an inadvertent repeat of a mistake he made on ''$100,000'', identifying a 1985 car as a 1958.

Vicki continued to appear on ''$25,000'', but true to her word ("I'm never coming back here!") did not appear again on ''$100,000'' until 1991.

If you listen closely and read Cavett's lips, you'll figure out what the clue was; that's right, what was perhaps the funniest Winner's Circle clue '''didn't''' [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|get "crap" past the radar]].
