Victor Borge on I've Got a Secret 6/1/64

Borge conducts a performance in which the "musicians" include Douglas Butler hammering nails, Robert Swan playing a saw, Lawrence Arcurie tearing a bedsheet, Wilfrid Roberts blowing a conch shell, Gordon Powers letting air out of a balloon, and John Pepper and Owen Land blowing a garden hose. Nathan Wexler, who appeared on 1/14/63 playing a duck call, has the secret: "I play the kitchen sink." They play "The Blue Danube" with Norman Paris on piano. Wexler interrupts with "It Don't Mean a Thing," after which Arcurie switches to a deck of cards, which he plays by riffling them next to his open mouth.

Thanks for posting. My dad was Robert Swan (aka "Bob Swan") and I remember watching this episode when it originally aired. Great memory - thanks again!

[@lsmart]

It must be a great honor to tell everyone that you are a son (daughter?) of the world's greatest sawist.

[@girlgeniusnyc272]

Playing his "swan song" - well done LOL

[@Holyballsinhell]

awkward how a recording from 56 years ago looks better then every recording of him during the 80s...

[@aureofernandes8241]

One good thing about this video. You don't need any musicians. Just an experienced sound-effects guy.

[@babbetteduboise4284]

The balloonees played by "Colin Powell"? And almost the right age.

[@MrJaxyagi]

My gush! Gary Moore show?

[@MsMesem]

Way ahead of Frank Zappa.

[@darknessanddistance4469]

You must be the same person to put a thumbs down on Harpo Marx playing the harp

[@martinmayhew145]

The host is not very involved or a bit wooden

[@PaulSmith-qs1es]

well, I normally like victor borges, but this was not my kind of entertainment.

[@jakeforrest]

He is probably testicles different kinds of comedy, to see what makes people laugh 😂

[@compfox]

Well, I normally like comments, but this was not the kind I wanted to read.

[@anyname666]

normally Victor Borge is very funny - this was a bit of a let down.

[@carolv8450]

Boring

[@user-lv3yt3pr1l]

Boring or not boring, that is the question.
