Runaways bassist Jackie Fox on ‘The Dating Game,’ 1980

The Dating Game had some unusual contestants over the years including Steve Martin, Pee-wee Herman, Farrah Fawcett, a young Michael Jackson and even a serial killer.
In the below clip, a hot-looking Jackie Fox, formerly of The Runaways, meets three goofy bachelors.
A commenter on YouTube writes:
Jackie was about 20 at this time. Here’s what she said in an interview about it later:
“My roommate at the time worked for Chuck Barris productions and was responsible for getting potential contestants in to audition. She had a quota and one week when she hadn’t met it begged me just to show up. So I went and, since I wasn’t taking it seriously, just mouthed off when I got there.”
