Robert q Lewis always got a rousing applause when he hosted this show. I enjoy his hosting very much too. He definitely knows how to keep things moving but also let things flow and mixes in lots of jokes and humor to make things enjoyable and not rushed and ridgid like a school classroom.
Tom Poston is absolutely adorable in this episode... I love his cheeky humour and shy, sheepish expressions during Game 1. I cast my vote for Mr. Handler #1 because he seemed the most amused as the affidavit was being read aloud, but then it was revealed that he's actually an insurance agent, ahaha!
when I watch these TTTTs I find it hard to believe that these shows are now so antique, the panelists deceased. They're still very entertaining. I was very young when these shows were broadcast.
Robert Q did a nice job. Roger Ward was a fine race car driver. He looked familiar but my memory could not put a name to his face. Elsie in game 2 looked like a very attractive adventurous young lady.
On the YBYL program, George Fenneman announced that Elfi Hummel is Austrian. Searching on Elfi's name (she is about 23 years old here?) found that she has written at least 2 books in German -- "Logbuch einer Weltreise", Logbook of a World Trip, in 1961 and "Unter Piraten und Kopfjägern", Among Pirates and Headhunters, in 1968. I wonder if she mentioned her US game show appearances. (As of August 2022, EBay has a copy of Logbuch for $10.86 + $37.87 for shipping from Europe.)
@@Musician-r5q Very sharp. Don's family members had lawyers in their family actually, and some people are put off with his abrasive style of speaking but that's how he is., and that's how he makes money.
It would have been nice if the contestants would have been able to answer questions after the results were known. So many interesting people but no questions answered.
I loved Kitty! She was a marvelous lady and donated twenty years to the cultural arts board of New York. (I can not remember the official name.) My mother and I went to see Ms. Carlisle in her one woman show which she presented a few days after her 96th. Birthday...
My niece's house was driven into multiple times. There was a road that was slightly downhill and pointed at her house. If the roads were icy, cars couldn't stop. I suggested that they get huge rocks from a quarry. They had to abandon the house. Another house near where we live had the same problem. They put huge rocks along the road. Problem solved.
I may just be getting picky, but it still bugs me when the panel expects the contestants to be experts on everything they touched. Just because she rode a camel doesn't mean she knows the names for the different types of camels - one or two humps. I wouldn't expect them to know every bit of related trivia. Most of the trivia I know related to my expertise I learned by random chance. I taught myself the basic skills that got me my current job (repairing and upgrading computer-based equipment). No classes. Just a hobby since 1982.
Just as the contestants aren't necessarily experts on every piece of trivia related to their field, neither are the panel members. On hearing the key facts about the contestant, they have a short space of time to cobble together a set of questions from their own knowledge to try and distinguish the imposters. Sometimes it works and the person most knowledgeable about the trivia is the expert in the field. Sometimes it doesn't work. I think you are being too hard on the panel in expecting perfect questions.
In many cases, the panelists are not testing the contestants' knowledge, but trying to observe whether the contestants are trying to appear more knowledgeable than they are, or less knowledgeable. Only the real on would try to appear less knowledgeable.
*ROUND # 2: POSSIBLE SPOILER IF YOU ALSO WATCH "YOU BET YOUR LIFE!"* The real Elsie Hummel bears a vague resemblance to one of two young Swiss women who were hitchhiking around the world and who appeared a couple of years earlier on Groucho Marx's "You Bet Your Life!" I'm curious to know from any YBYL fans whether this is indeed the same person.
Why does Kitty ask Elsie Hummel what a Gouda is? Gouda is a city in the Netherlands and also a name for a Dutch cheese, but miss Hummel seems to be Swedish, not from the Netherlands.
Mr. Ameche, Aquinas masterfully synthesized Platonism and Aristotelianism, because each alone were in different ways problematic for orthodox Catholic theology.
With the lady hitchhiker, it was unfair to the panel. She effectively answered only one question out of the 6 asked of her. Her answer to how she hitchhiked on a plane was only that it was “difficult”. Asked about dishwasher pay, she said she didn’t know what it was at present, when she should have said how much she received. The remaining 3 questions, it’s understandable that she wouldn’t necessarily know. Out of all of the multiple episodes I’ve watched, she was the worst at being forthcoming with information. Maybe she desperately needed the money, but it still irritated me.
Wow I wonder where that doctor got his "education" that he didn't know about St Thomas Aquinas and Aristotle nor that Anna Freud was Freud's famous psychiatrist daughter (who made major contributions to the study of Child Psychiatry).

I think Kitty Carlisle was wrong. A psychiatrist has a Medical degree.
Of course she was!
You are absolutely correct.

I thought it was #1 too - for the same reason as you!

I was young too, and amazed I remember seeing some of these episodes.

Polly Bergen is so funny...witty. So is Tom Poston. Love em all. Just watched Cocoon with Don Ameche!
Don Ameche would have made a good Lawyer the way he rapid fires his questions.
@@Musician-r5q sometimes he repeats what other panelists have asked; he doesn't listen; a bit of a moron
I love Polly and Tom
and BOTH Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy were either GUESTS or HOSTS (when Bud wasn't around) AND they were both in Trading Places with Eddie Murphy.
@@Musician-r5q Very sharp. Don's family members had lawyers in their family actually, and some people are put off with his abrasive style of speaking but that's how he is., and that's how he makes money.
I knew it was #1 from the start. When they were listening to him read about them, she looked so proud.

I think you are being too hard on the panel in expecting perfect questions.
Especially asking people whose first language isn't English.
When they were asked how many miles, they are all foreign and would use kilometers.

Interesting dresses on Polly and Kitty. Very summer, though the show aired in February. I wonder if it was taped the prior summer.
Don't forget that they are sitting under hot lights!
They dressed that way in every show.

@It's 1984: The Fact Checkers are here! Oxford dictionary says it's a seat on back of an elephant or camel
If I remember correctly from her earlier appearance on "You Bet Your Life," Elsie Hummel was Swiss, or possibly Austrian.
@@519djw6Elfie Hummel was Austrian.
Kitty was wrong; a psychiatrist is in fact an MD.
Exactly, they can write prescriptions.
3:28 respect, trust!
Hight ? Only an insecure male, would consider that. Or a bad insecure psychologist!
Mr. Ameche, Aquinas masterfully synthesized Platonism and Aristotelianism, because each alone were in different ways problematic for orthodox Catholic theology.
But I don't get why he's asking philosophy/theology questions of a psychiatrist.
@@CorwynCelesil Oh, I totally agree. I love Ameche, at least outside this show. But he, time and again, thought he was quite the smarty-pants.
The sexism of these shows! Awful.

Wasn't Howard Handler in another episode?
Wow I wonder where that doctor got his "education" that he didn't know about St Thomas Aquinas and Aristotle nor that Anna Freud was Freud's famous psychiatrist daughter (who made major contributions to the study of Child Psychiatry).
Robert told the ladies in Game #2, "You have ALL won $750". Actually, they split the money between them.
Incorrect as usual.
Bobby Q with, George dubya with, LC Hummel and Double H!
It’s a shame Robert Q wasn’t the regular host
Groo Vin8tor I don’t agree he annoys me
I disagree. Robert Q is alright, but I prefer Bud's style of working in those clever little puns whenever he prompts the panelists to vote.
Wouldn't that make the real doctor a quack because he said mono was a mental issue?
UberLummox the real one didn’t say that. Number two did
@@desertbreeze69 Oh ok, thanks!
