Just Men! is an American game show that aired on NBC Daytime from January 3 to April 1, 1983. The show starred Betty White, who won an Emmy award for her work on the show, with Steve Day announcing.
The show was created and produced by Rick Rosner, who was producing CHiPs at the time for NBC, and was a production of Rosner Television, Century Towers Productions, and Orion Television. This was one of two collaborations between the three entities; Rosner later was responsible for a revival of another NBC show, Hollywood Squares, which he co-produced with Century Towers with Orion distributing.
Two female contestants, one usually a returning champion, competed.
The object of the game was for the women to correctly predict answers to questions posed to a panel of seven celebrities, all of whom were men (hence the name of the show). With these predictions, the women attempted to earn keys. One of the keys started a car, and White demonstrated this with the actual key at the start of each program. She would drop it into a clear plastic box along with six other keys, and the keys would slide down a series of slopes inside the box and come out in an opening on its bottom. With all seven keys now shuffled and nobody knowing where the correct one was, White took them out of the box and handed one to each of the panelists.
In the first round, the panel had been asked a yes or no question to which at least two celebrities had answered "yes." Starting with the champion, each woman questioned the panel for one minute using questions prepared for them in advance pertaining to the round's topic. Following the questioning, the contestant selected a celebrity she thought answered "yes". The celebrity then revealed his answer by opening a folder and placing it in front of him. If it was "yes", the contestant won his key and he was eliminated from further play. If two "yes" answers had not been found after each contestant had a turn, they then took turns each asking one celebrity one question and then making a choice until two keys had been claimed.
In round two, the panel was asked another yes or no question, to which at least two of the panelists with unclaimed keys had answered "no." The second round was played the same as the first, except the contestants looked for panelists who said "no." Again, a correct prediction won a key, but a wrong prediction this time resulted in the key for that panelist being awarded to her opponent. Each contestant took one turn.
