In 1961, Mitch became a TV superstar with his music show "Sing along with Mitch." I wonder if this was his first appearance on telly. Lena Horne appeared on What's My Line? when she starred in "Jamaica."

On a old VHS tape somewhere I have an interview Casey Kasem did on his Top 10 TV show with Robert George so I knew which one he was. He spent his later years here in Glendale CA giving toys mostly for the terminally ill children. He played Santa Clause year round because most of those children would not live to see another Christmas. He was the official Santa to several Presidents.

I actually remember Mitch Miller. The Sing Along with Mitch Show.

[@JayTemple]

The show lent itself to several "Sing Along" albums, including, appropriate to this segment, "Holiday Sing Along with Mitch".

Mitch Miller also appeared in the Scorsese doc No Direction Home about Bob Dylan (He was working at Columbia when Dylan was signed.)

Sounds like a classic joke: "How do you judge a chicken at a poultry show?" I can already hear Henny Youngman answering that one. Or better yet, Rodney Dangerfield!

OMG those are the worst looking Santas with the worst hair and beards I ever saw.

Game #1: *creepy Santas*

[@kenyongray2615]

Not my favorite panel. Looking forward to Kitty coming back and Mr.Magoo/Mr. Howell replacing Hy Gardner. Thanks for the video.

[@davidfritz2957]

Those are the creepiest 3 guys I've ever seen. If I were a kid, I'd be TERRIFIED of Santa Claus after seeing this episode! They look more like the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

***** #2 clearly knew _something_ about chickens, since she came up with that whole "ear lobe" idea, which turned out to be on the right track, if not exactly identical to the way the true poultry judge later described it!
