I laughed so hard when Portland asked "are you sure Faye Emerson started this way?" This was a good show, it could have worked and I'm suprised it wasn't picked up.
24:11 - 24:13 Sally...congratulate yourself! You have just won yourself and your partner $5,000! You've done it, you've done it! That means you both are going to leave this studio with $2,500 and if we calculate that in 2021 dollars, that means you have each just won $24,208 (that's $2,500 in 1954 dollars)! Now, aren't you glad you took Fred Allen's advice?
I think this pilot tried too hard to be another "You Bet Your Life": a dry quiz propped up by a comedy legend's witty interviews with the contestants and banter with his faithful cohost. Then again, George Fenneman isn't even in the same league as Portland Hoffa.
Fun pilot! Fred Allen was great.
Would have been nice if it would have been picked up by the networks.
0:55 I guess I'm just going to sit back and enjoy this pilot.

Basically, this is Split Second before it even existed.
