A. seeing these shows 60+ years after they aired--they are amazingly informative. B. I think this is the first show I have seen in which Tom Poston was absent or not on the left. Fun to see John Cameron Swayze--long time spokesman for Timex watches--It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
Miss Carlisle wishes Commodore Barnett Hart, her father-in-law, a happy 95th birthday. That means he was born in 1863. Miss Carlisle lived to the age of 96 and died in 2007, which means the timespan of her contemporaries spanned three centuries.
It was great to have Mr. Magoo and Mr. Howell on the panel. Mr. Brickell had a very short ( no pun intended) career. He was one of the shortest players in baseball history. To even reach the majors, you have a be a great player. Sadly, he died at a very very young age.
Only Kitty Carlisle could make that faux paus about "bullpen"! #2 was seemingly the no-brainer choice since he showed he was a knowledgable baseball fan and been well-briefed. I think the "Willy Pepp" gag answer was a knockoff of how Wally Pipp was the first baseman Lou Gehrig replaced in the Yankee lineup back in 1925.
No, Willie Pep was a champion featherweight boxer and avid Yankee fan. He was frequently on camera during the WPIX broadcasts as “that Yankee fan in the stands”.
It's hard to see but none of the guest seem to know how to tie a karate belt. Number two comes closest. But he's bigger which may account for the belt's look on him. There is ceremony and meaning in tying a karate belt properly.
I enjoy watching these programmes but my problem is Polly Bergen.her questions sometimes they're not even real questions which should be the team spirit she should have to try to solve the puzzle.I've watched so many of these episodes and it's the same thing with her she really tries to draw attention to herself and she was never a comedian. I really get irritated and trying to follow what's going on with her asking really stupid questions that don't really lead to a team discovery of the real person.

My grandfather was born in 1875, and died in his late 90's when I was a child.
@@donnawoodford6641 Same year my grandfather was born!

Sad to see this knowing Fritz Brickell died of jaw cancer at age 30 only seven years after this was aired.
That’s sad. What a handsome young lad.
Perhaps due to the chewing tobacco many baseball players used back in the day.
@@jmadratz that’s what his biography attributes his death. He was an avid chewer of tobacco.
Mike Klein is one of my aunt's husbands so thats a funny coincidence for me on the Polly question for the baseball player.

Here is the Society Of American Baseball Research article on Fritz Brickell. sabr.org/bioproj/person/95b775dc
The baseball segment was entertaining lol.

Sadly UA-cam trolling and spoiling seems to be far too common place today.
Great run on once again proving yourself to be a jerk.
Where is Hy Gardner
"Abroad," as Bud told us at the very end.
He on "whats my line?".
