Don Ameche is the absolute master of the staccato, rapid-fire, yet relevant questions.

[@rmelin13231]

I agree. I've always liked the way he shoots his questions off, and he seems a good sport.

[@kenyongray2615]

No football fans on the panel. Andy Robustelli was a great player who eventually was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Steve Allen was a lucky man to be married to the gorgeous Jayne Meadows. Contestant #2 in game 2 was stunning.

Why get the world's yo-yo champ and not have her demonstrate even a single thing for television?

I loved Tom's question, "What's the difference between being on-staff and having staph?" Now that you can see it spelled out, you can see that it was a very funny question, but it went over the heads of every one of the contestants (and perhaps everyone else on the panel as well). LOL

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

Those earrings on Jayne Meadows were hilarious.

[@chaplainmattsanders4884]

What? No yo-yo exhibition? Aw man!

I never got how this show went from giving $250 per wrong answer to $50 in the 1970s

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

I think it's because in these episodes the $1,000 was split three ways, but in the 1970s if there were four wrong guesses the person would get $500 but the other two got nothing.

"I took a turn for the nurse"...Tom Poston should have credited W. C. Fields for that line.

[@AmberWaves444]

I recognized contestant two in game one right away. He played the hitman mailman in the movie Three Days of the Condor, a 70s movie starring Robert Redford.

[@pfflyer3381]

And car 54

[@sheila174]

It helps to have Wikipedia at one's fingertips.

[@moontheloon5]

Yup! I thought that was Nicholson(Hank Garrett) who did some wrestling himself.

[@AmberWaves444]

Garrett later played the hitman mailman in Three Days of the Condor, starring Robert Redford in the 1970s. He's still alive at 89 years old.

[@brucealvarez9263]

Tom's joke about the difference between being "on staff" at a hospital and having staph fell really flat.

[@519djw6]

I was surprised that *none* of them knew the difference, including the "real nurse."

[@estebannicolas78]

Instablaster...

[@jethro1963]

Car 54 Where Are You? Actually, the doctor sitting next to Hank looks a little bit like Gunther. Sigmund Fraud?

[@loissimmons6558]

I recognized one of the impostors in game one immediately. In today's world, he probably would have been too famous to be an impostor. It was largely due to a game he played in about 6-7 months earlier (on the losing side).

[@lukeheaton5336]

I didn’t recognize Andy Robistelli but I recognized Hank Garrett from “Car 54 Where Are You?” I’ve seen Y A Tittle and Tom Landry as impostors as well. Good stuff!

[@christopherjones8517]

Jimmy Carter gave it away, big mistake!

[@sassiebrat]

Jayne's wig is awful.
