President Ronald Reagan was a great President and he was a great actor. He also had a fantastic sense of humor, he was extremely humble, and he was extremely brilliant. I voted for him both times that he ran for President and I was so glad that I did!

This is uncanny! Ronald Reagan appeared on "The Name's The Same" in 1953, some 13 years before he ever ran for public office. The next two guests were "Abraham Lincoln" and "Al Smith." (The famous Al Smith was the 1928 Democratic Presidential Nominee.) I was also fascinated by the discussion at 16:50 about whether Nancy Reagan was well known. Considering how famous she eventually became, the conversation was ironic to say the least.

There might have also been some hesitation by Robert when the question of Reagan's wife being well known first came up because he had been married to Jane Wyman before Nancy.

Nancy Reagan was 'known' as a B/C list actress but not 'well known', so it's a bit of a boundary case.

It's a fast pace show. Unlike What's My Line, this show is about the game not the experience. It's one contestant after another. Also not helping is Joan Alexander is the only consistent panel member. There's no familiarity. What's My Line had the same issue when first on, but once they settled on having consistent panel members there was a comfortable relationship with the audience. This show lasted a good number of years, so it wasn't a failure.

That was awesome when the contestant named Ronald Reagan met President Ronald Reagan!! I know how President Ronald Reagan felt when he said that a lot of people mispronounced his last name even after he corrects them. I go through the same thing with my last name. I tell people that it's pronounced Pah/leh/chek, but some people will still say Pah/lah/chek. Some people just refuse to be smart.

MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATIONS "Best President?" lol, not by the corruption numbers. Up until Trump, the Reagan Administration trailed only Richard Nixon as the most corrupt Presidential Administration of the past 60 years. The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill compiled a revealing list of felony convictions in Presidential Administrations over the past sixty years...their findings: Lyndon Johnson (D) - 5 yrs in office. Zero indictments. Zero convictions. Zero prison sentences. Richard Nixon (R) - 6 yrs in office. 76 criminal indictments. 55 convictions. 15 prison sentences. Nixon resignation. Gerald Ford (R) - 4 yrs in office. One indictment. One conviction. One prison sentence. Jimmy Carter (D) - 4 yrs in office. One indictment. Zero convictions. Zero prison sentences. Ronald Reagan (R) - 8 yrs in office. 26 criminal indictments. 16 convictions. 8 prison sentences. Bush, George H. W. (R) - 4 yrs in office. One indictment. One conviction. One prison sentence. Bill Clinton (D) - 8 yrs in office. 2 criminal indictments. One conviction. One prison sentence. Bush, George W. (R) - 8 yrs in office. 16 criminal indictments. 16 convictions. 9 prison sentences. Barack Obama (D) - 8 yrs in office. Zero criminal indictments. Zero convictions. Zero prison sentences. Donald Trump (R) - 4 yrs in office. Over 100 criminal indictments. (so far) 16 convictions (so far). 6 prison sentences (so far). Trump final numbers await appeals of convictions as well as Trials postponed and delayed. Final numbers are certain to break all previous Presidential records - including the likely first-time felony conviction of a U. S. President.

It's crazy that with hindsight this is something that's fairly well known worldwide today, but of course most people wouldn't focus on some actor's role in the SAG at the time (I have no idea who any of their other presidents have been). And I suppose when she asked about 'trade union' his mind immediately jumped to protesting blue collar workers and Teamsters rather than the SAG...

I've watched several of these shows but this one feels very off. Normally they stumble around for the right line of questioning but this time they are making random leaps of logic from a wrong track to the right track. It feels very much like they have been fed questions or lines of questioning in advance.
