Everything Goes! was an adult game show, produced from 1981 to 1988. Kip Addotta was the host. It originally aired on Escapade for its first three years, then moved to the Playboy Channel in 1984, where it became The All-New Everything Goes. The show was produced by Scott Sternberg Productions.
Gameplay
Two contestants, male and female, dressed in a different themed costume for each episode (Prom King/Queen, Cowboy/Cowgirl) competed in this game, along with Addotta and three celebrity panelists made up of popular TV personalities of the period.
Main Rounds
In each round, each panelist gave an answer to their own adult-based question posed by Addotta, and (starting with the winner of a coin-toss) the contestant would have to agree or disagree with the celebrity (much as on Hollywood Squares). If the contestant judged correctly, he/she could remove one item of clothing from the opposing player. If not, he/she would have one of his/her own articles of clothing removed by the opponent. The contestants wore an equal number of garments to be removed.
Two rounds like this were played, with the player who went second in Round 1 playing first in Round 2.
Special rounds
Between the main rounds, a special round was played by the leading contestant. Three attractive people of the opposiste sex would come out on stage, then disappeared behind a wall with strategically placed doors. Addotta would then open three doors, revealing three private parts. Using cards with their names on then, the contestant's job was to match the private parts to the correct people.
Final Question
At the end of the game, one final question was played, but in a different manner: each panelist gave a possible answer, one of which was correct. The trailing player could choose to either play the question, or pass it to the leader. The winner of the question won the game and a vacation or $1,000 cash (depending on the episode) plus the right to take off all the loser's clothes (except his/her G-string).
Video release
In 1983, a compilation of clips from the show's first two years—interspersed with monologue from Addotta—was released on VHS by Active Home Video as The Best of Everything Goes. The release has been long out of print, and episodes of the series are highly coveted by enthusiasts.
This compilation also aired on the Playboy Channel during their run of the show.
Music
"Picadilly" by Squeeze
The open used only the instrumental open and close of the song (with a drumroll in between, to punctuate host Addotta's intro); the full-length version was used during the closing credits.
