Kudos to all 9 contestants. Each one of them received at least one vote. It was great seeing an entertainment pioneer Jackie Cooper on the panel. I remember watching the Our Gang programs in which Jackie was a child star. Mary Healy is a babe. Thanks for the video.

[@geraldkatz7986]

Thank you! I was today years old to learn "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition." was a real quote uttered in true faith and patriotism. I don't remember when or how, but I had been given the impression it was meant as a mockery against the religious, Conservatives, and gun owners. To know its true origin is a relief.

I think "To Tell the Truth" has the best music and visual style and direction of G-T's 1950s and 1960s productions. The directors outdid themselves tonight. Dark screen opening. Cue the Bagpipe music. Backlight three silhouettes of men in full Royal Canadian regalia. Illuminate the faces and hear gear one after another. It's electrifying, especially for a game show that does not need to be electrifying.

Old Joke: "Is anything worn under the kilt?" "No, it's all new."

[@JustinDesrochers]

What other channels is there on KZbin that has complete series set up like this from the 50's to early 60s? With commercials is a bonus 😁

[@maremacd]

Mary Healy is so pretty and seems even younger than 39 years old here. She reminds me a lot of Elizabeth Shue.

[@user-kz9ot4zv5e]

I agree, she looks younger for certain.

[@oldfart4751]

Got that back to front Hy Gardner, 1960 Summer Olympics was Rome the Winter Games was Squaw Valley California.

[@VahanNisanian]

Weirdly enough, Cornel Wilde only appeared on "I've Got a Secret", as far as the B&W Goodson-Todman games go. He was a mystery guest on the new "What's My Line?" in 1968, though.

Tobruk these days is in Libya, one of the main eastern cities, and Libya being ruled by the Italians at the outset of WWII and Egypt was a British holding, the area became pretty much the main focus of the North African campaign of WWII. I consider geography a main strength of my own, and with this comes some of the history involved with such places as a Tobruk,Libya and the history of the countries themselves. So the answer of the battle of Tobruk being near Egypt would have swayed me to that contestant since it is indeed near the Egyptian border and was a target for the allies to capture and for the Axis and mainly Italians to defend. Of course he could just be good at what was that time fairly recent history.

They always have good questions, then silly reasons for why they voted.

[@soulierinvestments]

It would have been interesting to hear the TTTT production meetings. I can hear it now: "Women's fencing! That's it! It's sexy -- what with women using weapons, and the girls will look sensational in silhouette." [Which they did.]

[@JayTemple]

soulierinvestments Given the intro, I was a little disappointed that they didn't keep the masks on and have a celebrity as one of the impostors.

[@jilljansen2638]

Someone asked what Geritol was...it's a liquid vitamin tonic for the geriatric set, it was quite popular at one time.

[@jaynerosajohansen4864]

I wish he would chat with the real person every time

[@VahanNisanian]

For Game 2, I thought it was #1 or #3. #2 got the year the ship was commissioned wrong (it was 1934).

[@StephenBurrus4444]

Wow! Kitty Carlisle didn't write the Roman Numeral for #1.

[@Beson-SE]

I always mistake Jackie Cooper for Jackie Coogan.

[@soulierinvestments]

Johan Bengtsson It's relatively easy to remember. Coogan was the one who was Charles Chaplin's "Kid" in 1920 and "Uncle Fester" in 1964 Cooper is the one who made movies in the 30s with Mickey Rooney and Freddie Bartholomew and who had the dog partner on TV in the late 1950s. Cooper is the one who aged better.

[@Beson-SE]

soulierinvestments Was Jackie Coogan ever a guest panelist or celebrity guest on any show?

[@soulierinvestments]

I am pretty sure that Coogan never showed up on Sunday WML. I am less sure about syndication.

What in the world did Hy say !!!!????

[@soulierinvestments]

Game 3, challenger 1: Does anyone know enough history to know what Ann Penn manages?

[@soulierinvestments]

This is a tough game show. I sometimes wonder what I would have asked contestants on "What's My Line?" and I draw a blank usually. This compounds the trouble by thrice. I would have been in the fetal position, given I do not know from bagpipes or fencing.

[@maremacd]

I've wondered if they got a crash course on relevant topics before each show. It seems a little unlikely otherwise that the panelists would know as much as they do.

[@kristabrewer9363]

How come number 2 said the winter games were held in Rome, but Hy Gardner said California? And yet the correct person WAS number 2.

[@dutchtea8354]

Hy sounded sure of himself, but he got it backwards.

[@christopherjones1871]

Gardner was wrong, summer in Rome winter Lake Placid NY!

[@XMLarry]

Panel needs to get their hearing checked. In Game 2, the 2nd contestant was asked one question, the title of his playright.

Is Buddy's wearing a Yamaka !!!!????

[@warrendavies473]

No. It is a shadow. Bud is an Elder in the Presbyterian Church.

[@btrelles404]

Was the price really bottles of geritol?

[@Tormund_Giantsbrain]

canada would be so much better under the crown smh.

[@kenbrown438]

Can YOU buy Geritol today !!!!????

[@Eddie_Schantz]

There is nothing that makes me cringe more than the sound of a set of bagpipes playing. The most horrible sounding instrument they ever come up with.

[@JeffW77]

Haha. Old joke: Why do bagpipers walk when they play? To get away from the noise! This comes to you from a Scotsman who enjoys bagpipe music..
