I like when the group gathered together at the end. It reminded me of Saturday Night Live at the end of each show.

[@Walterwhiterocks]

Me too. They only did that for about 2 1/2 years of the show's long run. I like how Bud usually steps over and offers his hand to help Kitty down that step at the end.

@@Walterwhiterocks The mingling at the end began in late 1962.

Why not have the astronauts get a dental check up before a flight to prevent dental emergencies

Bob Dunn, reputedly creator of the "knock-knock" jokes.

In round 2, would this be the same Betty Rollin who would go on to work for NBC News, and later PBS, and who authored a book in 1975 entitled "First You Cry", after she was diagnosed with breast cancer?

[@randysills4418]

Steve Byrd I knew I recognized that name but couldn't remember how. Thank you!

[@donnawoodford6641]

I recognized Betty Rollin for the book you mentioned. I knew she was an author, and I was impressed with her candor about her cancer.

[@lrb3989]

You place the dental mirror inside the mouth against the patient’s cheek to warm it up so it does not fog up

[@leannsherman6723]

Burt Lahr’s daughter seemed very charming and unassuming. She didn’t even say that she was his daughter.

[@leesher1845]

All of those “dentists” were very good. Orson Bean was a talented artist. Tragic that he got struck and killed by a car in his elderly years.

[@peternagy-im4be]

Accidents happen buddy

[@Dubyular]

I totally forgot about that - wow

[@HannibalFan52]

You'll sometimes hear the panelists mentioned a gentleman named Willie Stein. He was one of the producers, and he briefed the imposters for each segment. Sometimes he did such a good job that they skunked the entire panel.

[@kenyongray2615]

Betty in game 2 was a babe and Bert Lahr's daughter was gorgeous also. Bud always brought the show home right on time.

[@MrBohuslav]

In game #3, contestant #3 is catoonist Bob Dunn (1908-1989).

[@acousticshadow4032]

Liar #2 in second segment is Jane Lahr, daughter of the Cowardly Lion!!!🦁

[@jonvater8424]

I thought poor Bud was going to choke to death during Game one...!

[@kkech7150]

I know right? No one could hand him a cup of water?

[@Dubyular]

They usually have glasses of water - or vodka

[@gabbyjabberson9576]

Jane Lahr, daughter of the Cowardly Lion.

[@peternagy-im4be]

Yes we all know that.

[@leesher1845]

Bert Lahr’s daughter was beautiful.

[@gj4578]

Yes. She had his eyes.

i bet Kitty Carlisle took a huge tax write off for all the dresses she wore - one time - on🙂 this show

[@user-ne8lh2vr2t]

Kitty wore her own clothes by designer Arnold Scaasi who worked for many celebrities and other famous First Ladies!!!!

[@Walterwhiterocks]

On several occasions throughout the years of TTTT, Bud was temporarily replaced by a substitute because he was on vacation or ill. Some were good, some were terrible, but no one could match his skill as a smooth, likeable, competent host on this series. I would rank him in the top 3 game show hosts of all time, along with Richard Dawson and John Charles Daly. Alex Trebeck is too stiff and cold when chatting with the players and Steve Harvey is OK, but tries too hard to be funny and often fails. Just my opinion.

[@leesher1845]

With all due respect to Steve Harvey, he needs a remedial grammar course. The thing I didn’t like about Bud Collier was he would interrupt some of the contestants in the middle of a sentence and it would’ve only taken a few more seconds for them to finish what they were saying. Many of these contestants were famous with great achievements, and they needed to allow a little more time to let them finish their answers.

[@pfflyer3381]

Take out dawson put in Rayburn

[@leesher1845]

Steve Harvey doesn’t belong in that group at all. And I’m not so sure Richard Dawson does either. Steve Harvey’s grammar is abysmal. There was a time when he never with that kind of grammar would’ve been able to have his own program.

[@Walterwhiterocks]

@@leesher1845 I pretty much agree about Harvey, Lee. But I really liked Dawson. Who would you say are your top 3, all time ?

[@OldRustySteele]

My opinions for the best 4 would be: Bill Cullen, John Charles Daly, Bud Collyer, and Art Fleming (original Jeopardy! host). Right behind them are Peter Marshall, Gene Rayburn, and Allen Ludden. I always preferred Fleming over Trebek. Fleming was very outgoing and warm, while Trebek was a bit more standoffish (maybe that was part of the act as the prize moneys on Jeopardy! got bigger and bigger). To his credit, Alex got better with time & experience. Of the entire group, Bill Cullen was the quickest wit and was extremely smart and well-read. Daly and Collyer always impressed me with their warmth and grace with both celebrities and contestants.
