	Allen Ludden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Allen Ludden (October 5, 1917 – June 9, 1981) was an American television presenter and game show host.
		Ludden hosted many game shows, including the G.E. College Bowl, but he was most famous for hosting both the daytime and primetime versions of Password on CBS and ABC from 1961 to 1975.

	Password All-Stars/Password
		Ludden married frequent celebrity guest Betty White in 1963 (his first wife died of cancer a few weeks into Password’s run), and the show eventually moved from New York to Los Angeles.
		One of the favorite parts of the show was the final minute, when Ludden would note "The Password for today is…" and then note a word that was sent in by a home audience member, along with a clever phrase or definition.
		Ludden returned thinner but still at the top of his game, not revealing that he was suffering from cancer and the surgery hadn’t totally solved the problem.

	Password (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		There is simply no other way to describe Allen Ludden other than class act; even now, just looking at the guy, both on Password and Password Plus as well as when he popped up as a guest on Match Game.
		But to a lonely, always-reading kid who still reads everything, Allen Ludden was the friendly, bright guy who not only helped me build a vocabulary but passed it on to viewers with class and warmth.
		When Allen Ludden passed on, I learned that Tom Kennedy and Bert Convy showed that "Password" could be a fun, peppy game show like many of the shows of today try to be.

		Allen, who thinks mothers should at the very least be discrete about their baby's needs (women: cover thy breasts!), wrote about Madden and a nurse-in at a Maryland Starbucks last month on IWFs' blog, which I'm guessing is how she ended up on NPR.
		Allen you have some objections to breastfeeding in public, tell us what they are.
		Allen: I think it's really an aesthetic question of offending other people -- there are lots of activities that are all well and good that we just don't do in public and we're horrified when we see people doing it in public.

		He was brought in under the guise of being "substitute host" for Allen Ludden, although it was obvious to everyone who knew him that Allen was losing his battle to stomach cancer.
		The result was a year and a half that Allen would have been proud of, as Tom showed himself to be competent and able in the role he was suddenly thrust into, and keeping the show as cheerful as possible despite the sadness backstage.
		He opened his first episode with a dedication to the ailing emcee, gave periodic updates to the home viewer about how Allen's recuperation was going, and on a few occasions (such as the French blooper) even directly addressing Allen when looking at the camera.

		We do have two long-running examples of hosts dying during the show's run: Jack Barry and TJW and Allen Ludden and P+(though Ludden left P+ due to health reasons eight months before his death).
		Ludden, on the other had, you have a little more of a point, although I suggest that SP is to be considered a different animal because there WAS that time off the air to realize that Allen was no longer with us and that someone else would be hosting the new show.
		And I also think the fact that the show didn't last all that much longer under Kennedy is telling as well.
