I'VE GOT A SECRET: Guest Fred Allen; Art Carney [panel] (Apr 13, 1955)

[@poolside16190]

I’ve been watching this show for a LOOOONG TIME. I’ve NEVER been surprised more than when he revealed Cy’s name ;o.

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

Same here. Cy Young even more than a century later, stands tall and alone among pitchers.

[@no_handle_required]

Watching these videos is like a clean breath of fresh air compared to the drivel on today.

[@obadala]

a clean breath of Winston cigarettes

[@smilesfordays]

Abdullah Alsadoon I don’t even care if this was a slight to the times, it killed me thank you. 🤣

[@adolphesax1982]

Cy Young was 88 years old and died 6 months later. He was the G.O.A.T in MLB!

[@neilmidkiff]

Thanks, Gary, for these extra chances to enjoy Fred Allen!

[@44032]

Wow1 Art Carney, Fred Allen and three baseball Hall of Famers on the same show along with their usual assemblage of talent! The baseball players were the heroes of the youth of the men involved, (apparently, the two women were not baseball fans - too bad Larraine Day wasn't on the panel). The fact that these shows are no 7 decades old means that the older people who appear on them may have bene prominent when the 20th century began and will have memories of the 19th century. You-Tube is a real time machine!

[@tugginalong]

Art Carney was an amazing performer.

[@kenyongray2615]

Jimmie Foxx was one of the greatest sluggers in baseball history. Denton True Young won 511 games in his career. In today's game, there might never be another 300 game-winner among pitchers starting their career so that should tell you how beyond reach his record is. It is the one baseball record that will never ever be broken. Of course, the award for the best pitchers in the American and National league win the Cy Young award as being the best pitchers during the season. As a baseball fan for over 60 years, this video was fantastic to watch. Thanks for posting it.

[@picmajik]

My uncle was nicknamed Cy after Cy Young as he was a pitcher in school. "Glad to be here, folks!" I also love seeing Fred Allen on this. I hadn't seen much of him before watching "What's My Line" and wish I could see more.

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

I bet Bill Cullen was beside himself for the rest of his life for taking this night off and missing Cy Young! Bill was a huge baseball fan and he probably would have gotten the first two hall of famers right away.

[@usermikes]

Fred Allen died in 1956 when I was just a kid..And I'm now just appreciating him..I've heard the name growing up, But never put a face to it..

[@henry20008]

if there was a game show panel hall of fame fred allen would be a headliner for sure

[@HollyCranfan]

Fred Allen was a real straight man. Loved his humor and sad he died of a heart attack walking home after a filming of ‘What’s my line’ way before my time but love these shows. As for the carton of cigarettes, even the kids got them to give to their parents.

[@maryallison0509]

I love watching these old black and white episodes of IVGAS. There has been many interesting contestants. I don't know how they were able to guess many of the secrets. Between Mr Young and the gentleman who was present when John Wilks Booth shot Lincoln. And the toddler who ate his brothers bug collection for a school project. And my favorite panelist was Betsy Palmer, and I liked Jane Meadows a awful lot too.

[@stevenj9970]

Whenever I watch these very old, now, TV shows.......afterwards I always want to visit the cemetery.

[@sweetfaith2011]

I love watching these old shows even though it's way before my time. There's so much history here, love Cy Young and the Hall of Famers.

[@karltiedemann9329]

Maybe Cy was also in the Hall of Farmers.

[@carolv8450]

Watch what’s my y line - you can see Salvadore Dali.

[@theenquiringone7353]

My, how times have changed! Can you IMAGINE giving out cartons of Winstons as "parting gifts" today?? And I'm an "evil" smoker for the past 45 years ...... I was startled.

[@michaeldanello3966]

Cy Young died at age 88 in November 1955, the same year as this show. Some of his records still stand after a Century !!

[@dickhartzell6261]

No one will *ever* again get anywhere near 511 career wins. The typical Hall of Fame plateau used to be 300 -- but in the age of 7-inning starters even 300 wins is now tough to reach.

[@runawayuniverse]

And now with wins for a starting pitcher being devalued as a statistic just like batting averages, pitchers are less likely to even reach 200 wins for a career due to how they are used. There are only 2 active pitchers (I don't consider Bartolo Colon active) in this shortened 2020 season with 200+ wins and neither one of them has a shot at getting anywhere close to 300 due to their ages. There is no way anyone will reach 300 again, when even getting to 200 seems almost impossible for most due to how the game has changed.

[@petemarshall8094]

He should have left that carton of Winston’s behind!

[@the_original_Bilb_Ono]

Im 29 years old but ive always been an old soul, the 50s dont even seem that old to me. I love learning what my parents, grand parents, etc experienced, read, watched or listened to.

[@StaciArdmore]

I'm proud of you! One of the few young people getting a taste of history, instead of watching some guy in Norway, make a ham and cheese sandwich! That'll probably yield some dividends, down the road.

[@broughtbackin]

@@StaciArdmore If you go to the What's My Line videos you'll see many MANY young folks enjoying that show. Much younger than 29. It's nice to see.

[@BillyAlabama]

Cy Young. Amazing!

[@torridd]

Wow! Cy Young!

[@saisofttevault4548]

This is a great episode, because they're giving Henry Morgan a chance to showcase the same style of comedy that he used on his old radio shows.

[@neilmidkiff]

Alternate tag line for the "two Indians" joke: "Oh, that Laughing Bear can't just send any old smoke signal...he always has to shout."

[@stephenwoehr6500]

Because there must be someone out there like me who needs to know this. The pennant race that year came down to the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Yankees. The Dodgers won. It was their only pennant win while located in Brooklyn.

[@rongendron8705]

I'm 77 & watched "I've Got A Secret", religiously in 1955! (I even met Henry Morgan in 1967 & was in the audience of Bill Cullen's show "The Price is Right" in 1962!) However, I believe something is wrong with the date of this show, i.e. since "The Honeymooners" was only on one season, Sept. 1955 to June 1956, how could Art Carney have already won an "Emmy" on Apr. 13th,1955, when this show aired? p.s. Only the 'vignettes were on then!

[@runawayuniverse]

Wow .. Dazzy Vance, Jimmie Foxx and Cy Young. I'd love to have a baseball signed by all three.

[@kenyongray2615]

I forgot to write that is was great seeing Art Carney and Steve Allen was a lucky man being with Jayne Meadows.

[@SueBeaWho]

Ha ha...Faye says "longest pitch...no THAT can't be right!" lol....And she got it right!....I bet she and Skitch had a great night! ; )

[@domenicozagari2443]

Here is my joke, there were 2 kids about to enter the religious school, one of the kids had a brand new bike just given to him by his grand mother, He was afraid to leave the bike out side, his friend told him to live it out side, God will keep an aye on it, at questioning time the teacher ask the kid where dose he think god is? the kid told him he is outside watching his bike :)

[@SueProv]

Man, Ive never seen Henry so animated except when his mom surprised him.

[@lisal8984]

I think Art recognized Cy and said pitcher but got a signal from the show to not ruin it and threw in the word rookie to keep the fun going

[@draugnaustaunikunhymnphoo6978]

Yeah, that's very probable.

[@QuarrellaDeVil]

12:36 is worth the watch alone.

[@CoxJoxSox]

Wow I'm not even a baseball fan but Sigh Young - wow

[@dianepowers9643]

Art Carney looks like a different person when in a suit

[@dickhartzell6261]

Eighty bucks and a carton of Winstons. I'd love to have been backstage to hear Fred Allen's crack about his prizes for playing.

[@tubularap]

15:04 - "He's 88 years old and he still works for a living." - Applause. Well, times have changed indeed.

[@CoxJoxSox]

Cy Young died that November 1955

[@RalphOnofrio]

Accept these Winstons....Oh,the old days of TV.

[@teriannebeauchamp254]

I am too young to get the sewer on 47th reference

[@jaqatlantic]

It refers to Art's role on the hit show "The Honeymooners."

[@teriannebeauchamp254]

Thanks once he came on I got it. However it wasn t until he came out I got the reference

[@larrygrebler5054]

Art played a guy named Norton on the Honeymooners who worked in the sewer.

[@Finians_Mancave]

West 47 street is also where they filmed IGOT (CBS Studios)

[@myname7056]

Was the baseball prediction correct?

[@bloodgrss]

No-tho' at 88 he can be forgiven. He did say "based on last year", for indeed the Cleveland Indians and New York Giants had won their pennants in 1954. In this year of 1955 the New York Yankees won the American League, and Brooklyn Dodgers won the National. Cleveland was 2nd-the New York Giants third...

[@larry930legend]

I knew Jimmie Foxx right away,he was the greatest power hitter, better than Joe DiMaggio.

[@rickrick5041]

I don’t get the mint tulips joke. Please explain

[@patricialassle6125]

Rick rick mint julep is a bourbon cocktail famously served at the Kentucky Derby

[@slade307]

The horse was drunk.

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

Don't worry. It wasn't funny. Henry's Indian joke was much better.

[@scorpiuss10]

haha they gave cartons of cigarettes to them as conc- ilation prize

[@RalphOnofrio]

Cy Young.......WOW

[@WWChampion16]

Cy died later that same year.

[@MrJackanand]

Its real irony in the giving away of cartons of cigarettes that Gary Moore died of throat cancer.

[@sarahbolon4807]

$80 bucks and 2 cartons of Marbolo cigarettes! Wow those were the times!

[@mercywilliams2698]

When cigarettes sponsored programming….

[@stevenj9970]

GIve a guy 88yo a carton of Cigs!!!!!!!!! The good old days(?) *He died later that year, by the way.

[@bruceanglin2519]

Winston cigarettes killed millions. Winston tastes bad like a cigarette shad...we used to sing that
