To Tell the Truth - Star of "My Fair Lady"; PANEL: Betty White, Johnny Carson, M Moser (Oct 9, 1961)

[@Nickfatooee]

Came here looking for Margot Moser because my wife and I saw her in My Fair Lady on Broadway as Eliza Doolittle back in 1962 when we were on a school band field trip. Her performance was superb as was the entire production. As school kids attending a Broadway musical for the first time, the impact it had on us may be slightly skewed but it was a magical experience. Its nice to know the talented Margot Moser is still with us. Hope she is having a great life. Happy New Year.

[@chocolatesouljah]

Thanks! I'm too young to have seen her but I'm interested in Broadway actors and their unsung replacements! Nice to hear your feedback.

[@donaldcasalone2584]

Margo Moser played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady at The Muny in STL in 1968. Her co-stars were Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Eddie Albert.

Singer actress Margot Moser (1930- ) is in her 90s. She first appeared on Broadway in the original production of Oklahoma! as the replacement Gertie. She then understudy the role of Cunegunde in Candice and went on to play Carrie in Carousel before assuming the role of Eliza Doolittle. She later was a standby for the lead role of Anna in the 1977 revival of The King and I. She also appeared for a short time on the daytime soap opera The Doctor in 1963.

[@amberola1b]

Betty White looked so elegant in her dress gloves and the gown she wore

[@gradyrogers6707]

I just watched that episode on MeTv. Betty looked so young.

[@rhondagiesbrecht4901]

Love the chivalry of the men for the actress. Baffles me why some women don't want that.

[@geraldkatz7986]

Men are bicycles for fish.

[@graperonto]

See how times have changed... Bud took Margo by the hand and led her over to the panel, and Johnny and Tom stood up (just like the male panelists would do on What's My Line? to shake hands.

Properly raised men still do that.

[@retrorex]

I recognized Y.A. Tittle right away. Why didn't he tell everyone that he was quarterback for the NY Giants? He was at the time.

[@hangalooey6565]

I also recognized him immediately. I was at Yankee Stadium when he threw 7 touchdown passes against the Redskins,

[@araymond1able]

That is amazing back in 1962. I was at the 1963 AFL Championship Game Between the San Diego Chargers and Boston Patriots. The Chargers beat them 51-10. I was like 13 years old. I have seen all the greats from the time growing up in San Diego. I was like 13 years old. In fact it was on my Birth Day Jan 5th. Curt Gowdy did the broadcast. This was just a few years before they had the SB. Remember when Joe Namath came to town.

[@44032]

He'd just been traded to the Giants that season from San Francisco. the Giant's long-time Q!B had been Charlie Conerly.

[@loissimmons6558]

I also recognized him. I wonder if Bud pointed out that he was QB for the Giants. He often would enhance how an impostor would introduce themselves when it was too modest otherwise.Unfortunately with the AV messed up during the last segment, whatever Bud might have added was lost.

[@rm2ken]

EM1 McGee received the Navy Commendation Medal for his actions.

[@alizah8042]

Oh wow, i cannot believe the wrestler in the last game swept the votes like that. You literally cannot mooch off the original Gorgeous George gimmick like that if you don't have hair! Surely even if you don't know a lick about wrestling you can surmise that. Although i can very well believe that the Fabulous Moolah did get him into it lol

I don't understand why nobody picked number 2 at the end because the guy's wrestling nickname was something about gorgeous or something like that and he was the closest one that look like a pretty boy so that to me was a giveaway

Did you notice the manners of Bud, Johnny, and Tom with Margo after the first game? Those were the days. That 3rd gentleman in the 3rd game was my Dad's favorite football player. Hall of Famer Y.A. Tittle was then the quarterback of the New York Giants. Thanks for the video.

@@Pudentame Yes indeed. Yelberton Abraham Title. He was not that big and he did not look like a football player at all let alone a Hall of Famer. I believe he still holds the record along with others now for 7 touchdown passes in one game.

[@patio317]

@@Pudentame I actually attended the 1964 game in Pittsburgh associated with that famous photo of Y.A. kneeling on the turf after being hit by Steeler John Baker. The Pgh Post Gazette refused to publish the photo but it won best sports photo of 1964 and now hangs in the pro football Hall of Fame. Tittle had a concussion, broken ribs and cracked sternum. I'm a Steelers fan but always thought Tittle was a great player but that hit hastened the end of his career. Funny when I saw this Tell the Truth episode, I recognized him immediately.

[@JJJBRICE]

@@patio317 In later years that photo of old Y.A. was used by John Baker as a campaign ad in his run for office in North Carolina . In a reelection bid even Y. A Tittle came in to campaign for Baker . It showed no hard feelings between these old competitors in the eastern conference of the old NFL . I wonder if the guys playing now would do that .

[@kristabrewer9363]

If the imposters are allowed to lie, why don't they? Why would they say, "I don't know?"

[@cmtippens9209]

Probably because they were afraid of giving an obviously wrong answer and giving it away that they were the imposters.

[@geraldkatz7986]

Sometimes panelists would make up a name or use a name of someone they know personally to trick the imposters into answering. Only the real person would truthfully answer "I don't know" if the trick works. Sometimes it does,

No, but I always lumped 3 of these shows together as being "kissing cousins." 1) TTTT, 2) WML, and 3) I've Got A Secret. Liked all 3 shows, but I always thought that the format of WML was the best one. Not to mention that both Arlene Francis and Dorothy Kilgallen were both outstanding on that show. Bud Collyer was a great host, though. Reminded me of one of my Uncles. Seemed like a very nice man.

[@gabe-po9yi]

The true individual is supposed to answer forthrightly and correctly, so I take issue with the submarine guy answering “a few years” to Betty’s question how long he had served. Servicemen know exactly how long they’ve served. He knew he’d be pretty much discounted as the real one with that vague answer, and that’s just not cool.

[@skipeastport5529]

The true individual has only one responsibility, and that’s to tell the truth. If he served three years, then “a few years” is a true and correct answer. She didn’t ask for exact years, months, days. If she didn’t get the answer she wanted, she should have asked a more explicit question. He wasn’t required to answer any differently.

[@jacquelinebell6201]

They only have to tell the truth. Nothing says they cant ve very general in their answers.Some contestants are so vague that the real one could stand out too easily.
