The classic game show hosted by Allen Ludden. Which celebrity guest whose clue to the password deer was doe?

The classic game show hosted by Allen Ludden featured a memorable moment involving a celebrity guest and an unusual clue. During one episode, the contestant opposite this celebrity responded to the clue "Doe" with "Knob." This led to Allen Ludden, the celebrity guest, and the audience erupting into hysterical laughter. Following this incident, a Black contestant walked off the stage and subsequently filed a lawsuit against the producers of the Password game show. One of the terms of the lawsuit stipulated that the episode would never be aired. Who was the celebrity guest that offered the clue "Doe"?

According to this website, starting with this quote, the episode of the gameshow is an urban legend, although some celebrities have established the story as their own!!

Funny story though:

The old Password game show, and what’s-his-name whispers to the audience, " . . . and the password is . . . DEER." The white male celebrity says to his Black female partner "DOE . . .", to which she responds, "KNOB"?
