Who Do You Trust?- September 1958 (John/Lorraine vs. Carl/Lucille)

[@nancyhowell4505]

Those 2 sisters sure knew how to enjoy life, and had such unusual experiences to share and remember. And they were still young! Hope they had long, happy, healthy lives with loved ones. 👏👍👍

[@chuckdieselkicksdisks2380]

Awesome been getting into Johnny Carson even more lately...he's so young here....funny how the contestant gets locked in the booth!

[@davidwatson3456]

Hard to believe Johnny is ashes now.

[@mr.newvegas571]

Handsome and charming! No wonder he's the king!

[@spideraxis]

I remember watching this, believe it went into the early 1960s.

[@jazzbeaunola]

Never noticed how prominent Johnny's ears were!

[@lawsonj39]

"Who was the only US president to be tried on impeachment charges?" The answer to THAT question has sure changed a lot since 1958!

[@rentslave]

Andrew Johnson's home had to get a new sign.

[@johnnyv.5142]

Johnny at his best when the contestant gets locked in the booth!

[@scorpius6667]

WOW! first time seeing JC not on TTS! Live TV fun huh?

[@TowGunner]

He really resembled his brother at that time.

[@JJJBRICE]

Answer to a trivia question : The theme song played at the beginning was the same theme of Carson's Prime time show on CBS . STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN , I guess the Johnny's theme on the Tonight show has made this song unknown in reference to Johnny Carson / Carson developed and honed his interviewing skills and shticks on this particular program ' Mary Ann Mobley mentioned in connection to a question was later appeared on Carson's Tonight Show with Johnny himself .

[@ApartmentKing66]

Dontcha just love live TV?

[@ronflatter1235]

4:15 Classic TV moment when the contestant gets locked in the booth.

[@ericsamuelson5656]

Love how Johnny Carson joked about Jack Barry after the Twenty One rigging scandal

[@thebewitchinghour831]

"I met him in a sewer in France" - "We met up again in my apartment in Flushing". You can't make that stuff up. I guess their relationship was 'in the toilet' from the start.

[@nancyhowell4505]

🚽🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@WSenator1]

Johnny did this show after his variety show on CBS flopped. On that show he seemed to be stiff, nervous and self-conscious, and he ended up like a lot of "failed" comedians on TV back in the 1950s - as a game show host on bargain-basement (at the time) ABC. But it seemed like he loosened up a lot and turned more into the persona people now remember from "The Tonight Show."

[@johnmorgan4368]

Pretty sure the guy at 6:42 is Al Capone's brother.

[@happyseany]

Hi.. does anyone know where I can source these old episodes? My Dad appeared on this show and I'd love a copy! Thanks so much..

[@jbyesterday3959]

@ Happy Seany - let me know if you receive that info - I was on this show in 61or 62 & would appreciate getting a copy of that !

[@sukkad1ck]

Please share source

[@jbyesterday3959]

How can I find Who Do You Trust episodes from 1961 & 1962 ? I appeared on one of the shows when I was 9 or 10 years old.

[@pannoni8449]

Keep dreaming, as few game show episodes from this era that weren't produced by Mark Goodson-Bill Todman exist.

[@freddyfurrah3789]

Heeeeeeerrrrreeesss Johnny

[@bubba3667]

The original memes

[@jonbaime6493]

My mom was on either the first episodes of that show in August 1958 - she says she was the champ for 10 days or so. We saw a clip of it on American Masters on Johnny Carson a few years back. Do you have any access to that?

[@pannoni8449]

Unfortunately, it's almost certainly lost to history like so much TV from this era.

[@rentslave]

WHOM !

[@ZACHERYalderton-s3h]

I need the rules

[@EphSBGGSO]

I guess they got by for six years with a grammatically incorrect title instead of "Whom Do You Trust?"

[@scienceexplains302]

*“Who do you trust?”* Not us 😅 🚪

[@johnmorgan4368]

I am pretty bald, never considered getting hard plastic glue on hair like the host....

[@zacheryalderton9502]

Need the rules

[@korykloth9244]

Set up of a show. But the masses fell for it. Like today.

[@kellycoleman715]

The cheesy organ music makes it look like a parody of a TV game show.

[@rustyshepperd]

The only part about this show that I don't like is the organ music! It's like an old ice skating rink or something! Brutal!!!!!

[@pannoni8449]

You would probably not enjoy soap operas up until the early '70s.

[@QuasiELVIS]

The music is awesome, it adds to the antiquated feel of the whole thing.

[@LaptopLarry330]

This daytime game show aired on ABC in the late-1950s until 1962, when Johnny Carson left the show to become host of "The Tonight Show" on NBC. Most daytime game shows in that era had low production budgets, and could not afford a band to play music on the show. It was a common practice, both on radio and television, to use organ players to provide music on game shows, and occasionally, soap operas and prime-time dramas. In the 1960s, pre-recorded music became the standard for game shows on television.

[@nancyterrywhittemore2015]

You are probably just too young to appreciate the memories this brings back to us baby boomers!! The good ole days

[@WSenator1]

@@LaptopLarry330 You all think the organ playing was creepy here - you should have seen the soaps my grandmother used to watch that were on around this time. That was REALLY bargain basement stuff!

[@snackcakeman]

Not much to the show. Similar to Groucho’s You Bet Your Life

[@chantingmammal]

COINCIDENTALLY, CARSON (THE KING OF LATE NIGHT)'S WHO DO YOU TRUST COMPETED AGAINST YOU BET YOUR LIFE WHICH WAS HOSTED BY GROUCHO MARX (WHO INTRODUCED THE FORMOR HOST OF WHO DO YOU TRUST AS THE HOST OF THE TONIGHT SHOW IN 1962) WAS REPLACED BY JAY LENO (WHO WAS CARSON'S SUCCESSOR ON THE TONIGHT SHOS) AS HOST OF YOU BET YOUR LIFE SO I HOPE THERE IS A REVIVAL OF WHO DO YOU TRUST PRODUCED BY WORLDWIDE PANTS AND HOSTED BY DAVID LETTERMAN ALONG WITH HIS SIDEKICK PAUL SHAFFER (HE MIGHT MAKE MUSIC AND CUES FOR THE NEW VERSION)
