That was the general idea, '5star'. Like Groucho Marx's "YOU BET YOUR LIFE", the show focused more on the "interviews" Herb had with his contestants, than the actual game.

This edition was originally seen in September 1955, when the show aired on CBS' Saturday night schedule at 9pm(et)- immediately following Jackie Gleason's summer replacement series, "AMERICA'S GREATEST BANDS" (the Dorsey Brothers' "STAGE SHOW" and "THE HONEYMOONERS" began October 1st)- for alternate sponsors W.A. Sheaffer Pen Co., and Lorillard Tobacco's Old Gold cigarettes {Herb offered both to his contestants as gifts}.

Milton DeLugg was the show's music director. Before the "Gong Show" with Chuck Barris.

Loved Milton on the Gong Show. Chuckie dubbed the band "Milton DeLugg and his Band with a Thug"

Absolutely the show was narrated by then-future Heatter Quigley Company narrator Kenny Williams.

I believe this was Kenny William's only G-T game show
