Ya know, What’s My Line has been my favorite old time show, but suddenly To Tell The Truth is becoming a big fav!!!

[@johnsita8129]

Me too.

[@davidfritz2957]

I think of all of Polly Bergen's hairdos on this show, this was by far the most flattering.

[@VahanNisanian]

Welcome back, Mr. Collyer.

[@zacharydunlap-tunnage2220]

***** Same here... :-)

[@Beson-SE]

The last game was very entertaining and unexpected.

[@VahanNisanian]

When the James Bond picture "Goldfinger" was filmed in 1964, the interiors of Fort Knox were built at Pinewood Studios in London from scratch. I think Fort Knox themselves even complemented the crew making the picture for being as accurate as possible.

[@zacharydunlap-tunnage2220]

I wouldn't blame them. It looked realistic to me and I have *NEVER* been to Fort Knox.

[@jackbusby2019]

I LOVE Polly Bergen and they don't come any classier than Kitty Carlisle.

There was a twenty cent piece in the 1870s.

[@savethetpc6406]

soulierinvestments Thanks for confirming that. Here's more info: @20, and if any of you reading this would like to own one, prices on e-bay currently run from a mid-auction bid of $26.05 (for a very worn-looking coin) to a professionally packaged item at a Buy-it-now price of $1,595.00!

I sorta like Polly, but this episode and the last one, she was REALLY starting to get on my nerves!

18:28 Not anymore. Since 1997, Hong Kong is a Chinese property.

[@zacharydunlap-tunnage2220]

Kevin Clements How exactly is that unfortunate? *Just curious...

[@SuperWinterborn]

Zachary Dunlap-Tunnage Google the history of Hong Kong. ;)

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

Yes, and the HKese are soooo happy to be back "home".

[@zacharydunlap-tunnage2220]

@ZoneFighter1 You do realize I asked this question 4 years ago, right?

[@Beson-SE]

In the first shows Hy Gardner never smiled when he introduced himself. He does it now. I wonder if someone told him to smile...?

[@henrygrove100]

I think he was on What's My Line was he?

[@savethetpc6406]

Paul Edelstein I don't remember him being on it, but that doesn't prove much, so I looked him up, but I still don't think so. Here's a link to his credits page from IMDb:www.imdb.com/name/nm0306952/ .

[@SuperWinterborn]

Johan Bengtsson I personally think that at this point, Hy Gardner had begun to loosen up. I'll give the credit to the ladies at the panel. They didn't take themselves that seriously. ;)

[@oldisbest470]

Yeah, Hy always looked distant and uncomfortable before, and he seemed out of place to me before

[@MrMenefrego1]

@@henrygrove100 Yes.

[@grdn02100]

Sorry, don't see the significance of #3. He learned Chinese and went to Harvard..... normally the contestants are interesting or possess some unique talent or piece of history etc....

[@gabe-po9yi]

An Olympic shot putter would know exactly how much the shot put weighs and exactly how far she threw it. #1 didn’t exactly lie, but she should have answered the question precisely.

[@zarabada6125]

@gabe for the weight she was spot on (4kg for women's shot put). For the distance, the question was a little unclear to start and could still be interpreted several ways after the clarification (was it her personal record in competition or her personal record in training?). If she was thinking of two or more numbers for her record in different circumstances her brain may have simplified the answer and said they are all around 9 metres. You also have to remember that English won't have been her first language. Using "about" when providing numbers may have been an affectation she picked up from wherever she learned the language.

[@gabe-po9yi]

Zarabada Ah, very good analysis - makes total sense. Thanks for your input; I feel better about it, now.

[@peternagy-im4be]

It's not an exact science

[@gabe-po9yi]

@@peternagy-im4be Yes, it is. The puts weigh a certain exact amount and they land a measured distance. That’s the point.

[@qazwiz]

what does it say when a stock broker/investment manager is so successful at lying (3 of four votes)

[@kenyongray2615]

Polly Bergen is very good looking but she can be annoying when she tries to take over the shoe. The Yugoslav athlete was a babe. Kitty once again was enjoying the show. She can always be heard laughing in the background. It was great to have the professional Bud Collyer bad. Thanks for the video.

[@MrMenefrego1]

I've never known Polly to be a *shoe* taker-over-er!

[@christopherjones8517]

How to you divide 10000 three ways?

[@gj4578]

Maybe you meant 1,000 instead of 10,000. The answer would be $333.333… The extra penny could be won by drawing straws. Or it could be donated to charity.

[@geraldkatz7986]

They each get $330 then choose among them who gets the extra $10. Could be the real person. Could be the imposter who got the most votes. If even they split it $5 each. Or maybe they have a private death match winner take all.

A shot put artist that didn't look like one.....

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

See even back then people though there were 12 oz to a pound; we really should have gone to the metric system long ago

[@zarabada6125]

@Truck taxi. The video was correct. Precious metals like gold are measured in Troy pounds and Troy ounces. There are 12 Troy ounces in a Troy pound.
