A busy day for Password. It’s the first daytime episode, at least, shot in color. We’re also playing at CBS Television Studios for a little while and finally, there’s not just two stars for the week. During 10-Star Week, we’ll have a new pair of celebrity clue givers every day. Let’s meet our stars and their civilian partners.
