A mixed bag of success for the panel. Kitty is great. Hy can get annoying along with Polly. But as always, these shows are fun to watch. Thanks for the video.

Wandered over here from the What's My Line? channel and found the grandmother of an acquaintance from high school on here: the champion archer, Jo McCubbins. Her kids and grand-kids also went on to compete in archery, but I can't recall at what level or to what success. Small world!

[@totellthetruthcbs4220]

That's really neat!

[@IngridRollema]

Sad to say, I looked her up to see if she was still living in Oregon, and found her husband's obituary from this past week. He was quite the character himself. democratherald.com/news/local/obituaries/frank-jay-neal-mccubbins/article_4d570a4a-a14f-5eb5-9782-d6a333da3d52.html

Ingrid Rollema Just this week??? What a bummer! At least he lived a long life.

[@emmamccubbins7948]

Ingrid Rollema jo is my great grandmother and she passed away last year

[@IngridRollema]

@@emmamccubbins7948 I just now saw your comment, Emma. I'm sorry to hear about her passing.

Polly Bergen is jus gorgeous !!!!

[@Beson-SE]

20:45 Polly: What kind of parfume do you use (to bathe dogs)? Contestant: Kennel no 5 (!). :)

[@savethetpc6406]

Johan Bengtsson Bennett Cerf would've loved that one! :) And apparently, that was the truth too, since Contestant #1 turned out to be the *real* Jo McCubbins!

[@SuperWinterborn]

SaveThe TPC I voted for No 1 because she knew what a crossbow was. Something I doubt the two others could have answered on that quickly. I admit I was surprised she didn't get any votes.

[@Beson-SE]

Funny and surrealistic conversation: 14:02 Hy: Who invented the submarine? Contestant #2: I don't really no the answer. (Kitty (softly): Jules Verne..) Polly: Jules Verne?!?

[@savethetpc6406]

Johan Bengtsson Jules Verne was ahead of his time in his science fiction imaginings, but real submarines existed even before he wrote his famous novel, _20,000 Leagues Under the Sea_. According to Wikipedia, "The description of Nemo's ship, the Nautilus, was considered ahead of its time, as it accurately describes features on submarines, which at the time were very primitive vessels. Thus, the book has been able to age well because of its scientific theories, unlike some other of Verne's works, like _Journey to the Center of the Earth_, which are not scientifically accurate and serve more simply as adventure novels."

I think no other than a real musician could explain what a chromatic scale is. 5:50

[@Beson-SE]

Lord Foley's second wife was Ghislaine Alexander who was on WML Jan 10, 1954. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3LGp5iin8uYa9U The panel was blindfolded and after the game she joined the panel.

@ 11:48 Jacques Cousteau invented the Aqua Lung / SCUBA Diving.

12:44 Very droll! :)

[@rmelin13231]

Classic moment, funniest TTTT answer I think I've ever seen at 12:45

[@tomitstube]

number 2 knew what a chromatic scale was, something very useful in jazz. very funny answers by the commander imposters. 11:11 and 12:44.

[@Beson-SE]

8:37 Lord Foley didn't approve of women being admitted into the House of Lords. Only one year after this they were by The Life Peerage Act of 1958.

[@Beson-SE]

ZoneFighter1 It should, or The House of Nobility.

[@emmamccubbins7948]

THATS MY GREAT GRANDMA JOE

[@Musician-r5q]

Is this her ? kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqunqJZ6qJinmqc

[@Walterwhiterocks]

Did she really spell her first name with an "e?"

[@mizzyroro]

I knew the sub commander was #2 from the time they appeared up top because he had a 5 o'clock shadow and submarine men are the only service men allowed to wear beards.

[@geraldkatz7986]

Champion archer contestant three gave herself away during the affidavit when she laughed as Collyer mentioned she was a poodle nail clipper. It is an amusing thing to say, but the humor of it goes away when it's what you do for a significant amount of time.

[@irontribeissues9104]

I try not to think of Elvis Presley too!!

[@davidfritz2957]

Speaking of Jazz, Jimmy Dorsey would die the day after this program was broadcast, just 53 years old.

[@deanstrand4260]

I always wondered if one of those big bottles of Geritol ever slipped out of Bud's hands.

[@zacharydunlap-tunnage2220]

I hope not. I'm sure it would have made a big mess, if not empty.

[@byrd56]

Would that be CBS' Hal Simms announcing in place of Bern Bennett?

[@charlesmeadows6285]

Yes,it is

[@zacharydunlap-tunnage2220]

@@charlesmeadows6285 I thought he sounded familiar. He was announcer, at the time, on "sister" show, _What's My Line_ .

The poodle Masterpiece: this one, perhaps? www.goantiques.com/champion-pulaskis-masterpiece-904604 Apparently something of a celebrity in poodle circles, in his day.
