Mr. Lange had great eyebrows. Victor Borge was an immense talent. He performed right into his 90's. Great musical talent and comedian who could combine both in one spectacular act. Thanks for the video.

I remember seeing this show some when I was a kid. Not too often, I was 9 when it left the air in 1967 and coming on rather late on Sunday evenings my parents wouldn't let me stay up to see it during the school year. I've been watching two episodes a day, on my lunch hour at work, for the past several years, and doing so very often makes me smile. I think that's important. In our world today (Oct. 20, 2022) we could all use something that makes us smile. So I'm very glad this show is here, I'm going to keep watching, and keep smiling.

Arlene to Miss Tom: “Does the public deal directly with you?” Love how the audience laughs out loud at this moment.
@neilmidkiff3 жыл бұрын
Usually Arlene is very sensitive to an audience response like this, but her question (at 5:56) "We would deal directly with you?" is one of the few times she went on without asking herself why they laughed. That word "deal" was really one of the few clues that would have helped them; all the panelists were going off in the wrong direction on that round.

While introducing Bennett, Dorothy mentioned Grandma Moses, so I googled to see who she is and turned out she was an American folk artist. She died less than 3 months later - 13 Dec 1961 at the age of 101

Miss Tom was born in China and immigrated to the US at age 10. Moved to Reno after living in California for awhile. Was a 21 dealer for 20 zillion years, and seems to have gotten married at some point and then divorced. Or something. Anyway, had some kids, a good life, and enjoyed Lake Mead. Died in 2009.

To explain the context of what John is talking about, on the September 20 episode of "I've Got A Secret" they had a contestant who was a champion flagpole sitter and her secret was she was going to be on top of a makeshift flagpole inside the studio until the next IGAS program on September 25 (it was moving to a new time slot). She was thus from above watching the entire proceedings during this broadcast!

I can’t find Dr. Lange’s obituary and I’m not dedicated enough right now to find out when he died, but sometime before 2014, since that’s when his crackerjack of a wife died. They met at Michigan State, got married in 1938, and kept together forever, him doing veterinary work with Arabians, her doing social work. He was at Al Marah (in Bethesda) until 1965, when they moved to Santa Barbara. I think they owned a couple horses, but certainly, he was relevant in Arabian breed circles for most of his life. They had five kids, and a lot of fun. Rhoda’s obit, because why not: www.legacy.com/obituaries/newspress/obituary.aspx?pid=172054225

Why do they feel a need to specify that Miss Tom works in a "gambling casino"? Is there any other kind of casino?
@ImaCOTV8 жыл бұрын
Actually there is. Casino in Italian means "small house" such as a summer house. Later it came to mean a public facility for entertainment. In the '20s, and '30s in the United States you had facilities such as the Glen Island Casino near New Rochelle New York, or the Catalina Casino at Avalon on Santa Catalina Island which never had gambling. These buildings were (and the Catalina Casino still is) entertainment venues. Over time the term has been taken over by the gambling industry, originally because many of these facilities offer more in the way of entertainment than "just" gambling (like food, alcohol, and shows) and because "casino" sounds more elegant than "gambling hall." In the 1950s and '60s though the term "casino" probably hadn't become synonymous with "gambling hall."
