How great is America where someone from ANOTHER country wants to come here and fight to keep our freedom. I thank him for his service.

[@retrorex]

I've now gotten 15 in a row wrong in the last 5 episodes I've watched. That's got to be some kind of record! I'm so proud!

[@walkingtrails7776]

Congratulations! I've hit sort of a dry patch as well...I had 4 in a row once and thought I may be clairvoyant, that thought has long since left the building lolol.

that means you own $7,500.00 Please pay the Cashier :P

@@qazwiz That's right! He should be proud he got 15 wrong lol

[@leesher1845]

Me too; I hardly ever get them right.

[@rmelin13231]

I'm not counting, but I very rarely guess correctly. That was also the case when I watched the show back in the day.

[@Farrah300]

I actually admire Renato O'Neill for his love for the Marines. It's very interesting how he came about becoming a Marine.

[@dameaustel]

I'm in love with Leatrice Joy! she lived to be 91. beautiful lady! 😍

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

How did the show recruit the people who were the imposters? That one woman in Game #1 was from British Columbia. Were ads placed in newspapers?

[@psdavenport]

Leatrice Joy begins 8:40

[@DanieltheTruebadour]

My mother was adopted by her aunt, and both her biological and adoptive fathers were named Frank W. I grew up knowing my Bio-father as Uncle Frank.

[@kristabrewer9363]

They should have had his sister/"mother" come up and identify him (they do that with everyone else)!!

[@MrBohuslav]

Correct name is George R. Bach (1914-1986)

[@walkingtrails7776]

Anyone find out whatever happened to Renato , the first contestant? I like to look up certain people like him who, as it was stated , "an act of Congress got him the results needed to become a USMC". I just wonder if and when he fought in Vietnam? I guessed his birth to be about 1939 from the info given. If anyone finds out please let me know. Marines mean alot to me, I'm named after my uncle (USMC) who died at age 18 in Vietnam. My 22yr old son is a Sergeant in the USMC. Thanks again to anyone who can find info, I thought maybe he changed name back to his Italian name or so something because I found nothing.

It's so sad to see the lengths to which Kitty Carlisle felt she had to go to to hide her being Jewish. If she truly didn't know what a "noodnick" was, I'm a (Gentile) monkey's uncle.

[@ericalbany]

She didn't exactly hide it, though she didn't play it up. In her autobiography she recalled being at a French resort and chatting away in French with another young girl- only to find they were "A couple of Jewish girls from America". Her widowed mother changed the family name from Conn to improve chances at career and marriage.

Lady no. 1 could also have passed for Ruby Keeler.

[@Farrah300]

My cousin was adopted by my late-aunt, who was her biological grandmother.

[@JJJBRICE]

At 12:03 Tom Poston asks Ms. Joy if she knew a famous actress in California that was a friend of his with the last name of Dumont . He was referring to his co star in the 1962 movie ZOTS , Margaret Dumont , the previous year , Ms. Joy said she never heard of her . Oddly , Kitty Carlisle was also a co star with Dumont in the movie A DAY AT THE RACES in 1935 .

[@MrBohuslav]

The film would rather be "A Night at the Opera", but the year (1935) is correct

[@JJJBRICE]

@@MrBohuslav Thanks for the correction . A NIGHT AT THE OPERA 1935 would be the common co star between Poston / Carlisle to Dumont .

[@piustwelfth]

Margaret Dumont was a character actress -- not a star, and she came after Leatrice Joy's era in Hollywood which was the silent era of the 1920's. That's why Miss Joy could not identify her.

If that Doctor ever wrote a book, I want to read it.

[@leannsherman6723]

Cute second episode with the three ladies

[@JJJBRICE]

Leatrice Joy was a striking women in her younger days. Here at sixty nine she seems to have a lop sided stance. She lived another 22 years.This panel does not have the advantage of looking up celebrities of a by gone age through the internet like today.

[@mijraachieng8034]

maybe she had a stroke?

[@moonlightray8493]

For the third game, I noticed that #3 failed to pronounce "Bach" correctly when introducing himself... I'm surprised so many of the panelists ended up voting for him nonetheless!

[@shirtless6934]

15:35 She reminds me of Flo Bell Mirada on the Bank Examiner Swindle on Dragnet.

[@JJJBRICE]

At 12:03 Tom Poston asks Ms. Joy if she knew a Famous Actress named Dumont , referring to his co star in the 1962 movie Zots Margaret Dumont .Oddly Kitty Carlisle , also a Costar with Margaret Dumont in the 1935 movie A Day At The Races .He voted against her while Carlisle voted for her because she appeared to have the carriage of an actress .

[@johnfd0210]

I never thought of the connection of Margaret Dumont and Kitty Carlisle. At first I thought it was odd Kitty Carlisle and Tom Poston would not recognize Leatrice Joy from going to movies when they were kids, but it seems her starring days were over just as they would have started going to movies. Even though this is a good 30 years after her starring days, no mistaking her.

[@piustwelfth]

@@johnfd0210 I posted another comment that it's not at all surprising that Leatrice Joy was not aware of Margaret Dumont. They worked in different eras, and Miss Dumont was a character actress -- not a star.

[@georgimihailov4906]

@@johnfd0210 I am certain Kitty Carlisle went to silent films when she was a kid. She was born in 1910. Kitty most likely had forgotten her face.

[@keithnaylor1981]

Tom looks very smart, Kitty looks… (I best not say!)

[@leannsherman6723]

Pills, Kitty??

[@9094nancyj]

Kitty is usually elegantly dressed, but what in the heck was she wearing in this episode?

[@kentetalman9008]

Something was growing on her.

Clumsy, uncouth comment by Peggy Cass about that overweight man. She wasn’t exactly a beauty or at her ideal body weight either.

[@Ransomhandsome]

Having spent some time with CeCe DeMille (Presley), probably only me and Kitty Carlisle would've known C. B.'s daughter's name.
