As a result of seeing this fascinating segment I did some quick research on Mr Alroy’s life. There was an excellent article written for the February 1961 Coronet magazine which detailed many aspects of his life to that point. I encourage anyone with an interest to read it.
At the end of the article, there is an insightful quote from Mr Alroy…
“Americans are still too complacent about the danger the world is facing from totalitarian systems,” he says. “People who have always enjoyed freedom tend to take it for granted. This can be a tragedy. If you’re not on guard all the time, today’s freedom can easily become tomorrow’s tyranny.”
Keep in mind this was said in 1961…Something to think about.
Thank you for sharing
True…
and now it's come to pass.
Yes beware of Dictator Trump.
@@Catquick1957 That's nothing compared to what we might be seeing 1/25.
That was a really sweet moment with Don Ameche and his two daughters.
I like what Kitty Carlisle said about that concentration camp survivor. She said it so well. I’m glad that both Tom Poston and Bud Collier acknowledged the accomplishments of this courageous and brilliant gentleman. It breaks my heart to think of all the innocent people who were murdered by those devil Nazis, when had they lived, could’ve contributed to the world in so many ways like this gentleman did.
👍👍
I agree.
Yes and it said this because she her self as indeed Jewish.
❤
My father was part of the liberating forces at Dachau . He was put in charge of burying the wagon fulls and piles of those who didn't survive . I went to one of my fathers army reunions. One of the wives of a guys who served under my father told me about something her husband had done and it's consequences . In the 1970's the wife worked for a dentist in Georgia . One day they were talking and she told about her husband who was on burial duty found a man still alive in one of the many piles of bodies. He got the guy medical treatment and went back to his duty. The next day the dentist told the woman that he called his father to tell him about the womans husband's story. He then told her that he was here thanks to her husband . The father was the man that was saved and the father still remembered the soldiers name that saved his life
Dr. Gil Carl AlRoy went on to be a professor in political science, he passed in 1985 at age 60.
Kitty Carlisle is such a sweetheart - I absolutely loved her enthusiasm for the algae cookies, haha!
The surprise ending with Don Ameche's daughters was very wholesome as well.
Appreciate the kind comment by Kitty Carlisle who was a Jew from the south. Also, Tom Poston humbled himself and was very deferential.
I believe Tom Poston was a pilot in World War II. This segment may have resonated with him very strongly.
He was. He flew the military equivalent of a DC-3 the C-47.
I have firmly gone down the TTTT rabit hole! Thanks for uploading. I was not yet born by the time any of this aired in America and we here in South Africa did not get television until 1976 and even then, shows like these were never being shown. I love history and find it sad that this gentleman was in a concentration camp but inspirational that he had the fortitude to study further. I read up on him after watching this episode and found that he became a Professor in Political Science and wrote 3 books. He died in 1985 at the age of 60 sadly.
Thanks for the update.
And you'll find me waiting at the end of that rabbit hole, landibear. I was a kid when these shows originally aired, so don't recall the particulars to any of them. However, I must have watched over 100 by now on YT. Great, isn't it?
I was named after Jayne Meadows. As an adult I married a man with the last name of Allen. My name was then Jayne Allen as hers was at that time too!
I love the fact that they added Don's daughters. Thought that was cute.
Don Ameche always looked so continental.
a great and enduring game show... it is still interesting 60 years later. I saw the show once in the new york studio in rockefeller center. at that time, they filmed all 5 shows in one evening, one after another. It was really fun and the stage was small.
What year was that?
That was the daytime version.
Did the panelists change clothes for each of the 5 shows throughout the day?
@@ana419 It wasn't broadcast five days a week in 1959, only once a week. The five days a week daytime version started in 1962. YES, five shows were recorded in a single day and the celebrities changed clothes for each episode.
@@ChrisHansonCanada Thank you
Game #3: 22:12 Preach, Kitty, Preach. His life is fascinating, as a professor he wrote some seminal work on the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Yeah, I don’t think she was referring to drug mules and traffickers sneaking across the border.
my goodness Great episode wonderful contestants
Classy Kitty Carlisle eating the algae cookie and saying it was great while Jayne and Tom did not really give it a try. Jayne looked great here. Thanks for the video.
I just finished reading her autobiography tonight and it was wonderful! It is called "Kitty" and was published in 1988...
Jane had no intention of trying it. Tom at least tried it.
Beautiful comment by Kitty Carlisle about the concentration, camp survivor. ❤
I love these shows, I wish I could go back to these times.
Amen. Now more than ever.
Yeah. On the date of this show, I was three and one half, going on four. Not a worry in the world.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost the account password. I love any tips you can give me
@Jerry Xavier instablaster ;)
@Zaid Amos Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Tom is hilarious!! "I escaped from 4 colleges..."
Aud W He was so young!
At first I was offended by that comment, but then I realized he was humbling himself because I understood the gravity of this man's past.
Not a subject to ever be made light of.
This was pretty incredible to watch. How did he escape 4 concentration camps??? I wish that someone would of asked how he escaped but got recaptured 3 times.
Not hard to imagine getting recaptured. After all, it's not as if you escape, and then you're home. You're in enemy territory.
I enjoyed witty Kitty and MM's look- alike (well... closely) Jayne. Brilliant show. Thank you for posting !!!
"... because this is my daughter... and this is my daughter ." hahahahz
If there was a way I could travel back to 1959 just to shake Gil C. Alroy's hand, I would- that is the most amazing life led I have ever heard!!! May 21, 1985: Dr. Gil Carl AlRoy, a professor of political science at Hunter College who wrote extensively about relations between Arabs and Jews in the Middle East, died of lung cancer Sunday at Mount Sinai Medical Center. He was 60 years old and lived in Guttenberg, N.J. Dr. AlRoy, who was born in Chernovtsy, Rumania, twice escaped from Soviet troops when they occupied Chernovtsy in 1940. He later escaped from the Germans' Doaga concentration camp dressed as a German soldier. He emigrated to Israel and in 1954 came to the United States. He graduated from City College in 1959 and earned a doctorate in political science from Princeton University in 1961. Dr. AlRoy joined the faculty at Hunter College in 1963. His books included ''Behind the Middle East Conflict'' (1975), ''The Kissinger Experience'' (1975) and ''The Real Impasse Between Arab and Jew'' (1979). And Don Ameche pulled a fast one there with his girls in game #2!
he escaped four concentration camps but couldn't escape the cigarerttes
Thank you so much for the information. I tried finding out about him, but I thought his name was spelt Elroy, and of course, drew a blank.
Thanks for a well written comment, I too was wondering what happened to this mans life. Thanks again.
Interesting information, thank you
A true hero and brave beyond words !!!
I guessed #1 was the real Gil C. Alroy right away. The way the light startled him when it turned on in his face seemed like a completely involuntary reaction, which made me think that he probably learned to fear light shining directly on him during his concentration camp days, especially when attempting an escape.
The algae gal was WAY ahead of her time. Pond scum is a super food and alot of it is sold.
Correct. People eat fish to get Omega 3 & 6, but the only reason the fish have it is because they eat algae.
I thought this as well!!
I loved these shows - i watched these even before 1962- What's My Line- would be good now!💕
Tom Poston Was grandpa Bert on That 70s show. His face looked so familiar but it took me a minute! He was Betty White husband on the show. Crazy they where both famous back in the 1960s-2000s (Tom passed away in 2007)
Jayne Meadows was positively stunning in this video.
And how
I thought she was a bit of a bitch about the cookie.
I think it was just humor. She probably didn't really like it but use the opportunity to crack some jokes.
I always loved Jayne's laugh.
She was!
Another fine Mark Goodman, Bill Todman production
I am blown away how many comments on here talking about going back to this time....he ends each show God bless you too! A certain kindness have learned about many things you wouldn't think about the first successful ball point pen? There was a time before aluminium foil too and or plastic wrap or baggies?
Games where folks are erudite and congenial, I remember them well....too bad they will never return.
For the most part, it was a much better country then.
This is SO much better than today's TTTT. Anthony Anderson's mother contributes absolutely NOTHING to the new show, except stupid comments.
Most likely no one will see this, but I thought Don’s daughter was named Bonnie. I understand that a nickname for Cornielus would be Connie, but I’ve never heard a nickname for the name Barbara being Bonnie. Maybe the internet is wrong. I know he had 4 sons and 2 daughters.
This must be my favourite episode yet! Tom Poston was hilarious throughout, and Jayne Meadows had her funny moments. Plus I loved the twist to the second round!
Tom Poston is so cute in these episodes.
i think both of them were being ridicolus on this episode about the cookies
The funny part was that when Don Ameche identified the real Kay, I thought they looked so much alike they must be related.
Kitty Carlisle's laughter was so musically lovely, and she was so pretty!
jayonnaj18 I’m proud to say that she was born in New Orleans. According to Wikipedia, as an opera singer, “On December 31, 1966, Carlisle made her debut with the Metropolitan Opera, as Prince Orlofsky in Strauss's Die Fledermaus. She sang the role 10 more times that season, then returned in 1973 for four more performances. Her final performance with the company was on July 7, 1973. She reprised this role during the Beverly Sills Farewell Gala in October 1980.”
Did anyone else notice how the contestants walked towards our LEFT before descending down to their seats? In future episodes of TTTT, they walked towards our RIGHT. The contestants & panelists switched sides somewhere along the line!
I remember they changed studios at some point which explains the change...
Thank you TTTT. I’m subbed. I love this, WML, Password and all the old game shows so much. I appreciate that people still love them and more so, people keep them going on yt for our enjoyment. Thanks again and God bless!
Timely episode. Kitty Carlisle's comment on game 3. Pretty amazing life.
I agree! It was and remains clearly on point 22:11
Definitely, we'll take other country's best.
@@TheAverycross Her co-religionists have looted quite well.
Kitty felt very strong about this because she was Jewish.
thank you for posting more episodes with Jayne !
I would just like to add some information about the
last contestant - the concentration camp escapee.
As this type of show can only skim the surface.
Also some answers from the other two claiming
to be such, misleading.
In 1940 a portion of Romania was occupied by Russia.
And in 1941 the Nazis entered the rest of Romania.
At the end of the WW 11, the Russians occupied all of
Romania. And this when the young man fled to Palestine.
This by boat probably from an italian port. It is not possible to
travel by rail to Turkey. Or from Turkey to go further on.
The four concentrations the young man placed in are
unknown to Americans. In all the countries the Nazis
occupied, they set up local camps. These for Jews of course,
plus intellectuals and alike. And most were created to
work those placed within them to death. Or to
mistreat the prisoners so badly, they would die anyway.
There where escapes. But very few survived being
hunted down.
Thank you for the information.
I only eat algae wrapped around raw fish and rice.
Kitty can be classy even while talking with her mouth full.
Oh the cookie thing was priceless! I fell even more in love with her. Would’ve loved her for a friend. 💕🐝
When I watched these.. about '69 or '70.. I was 4-5 years old and I thought Kitty was so elegant..I changed my name to Kitty, and if my mom used my real name I wouldn't answer her! Lol.. As an adult, I see I recognized class at a very young age! She dresses elegantly, you are correct about she is still classy speaking with her mouth full!! When she walks it looks like she floats across the floor!! A real CLASS ACT for sure!!
Don Ameche seemed quite jolly in this episode! He was often very serious, even arrogant in his interrogations. Here he was full-tooth smiling!
It is funny how in the algae cookie sequence that contestant number one and number two look MORE like sisters than the ACTUAL sisters lol
SueBeaWho
As soon as I read your comment I really had to look the three girls over. I thought the sisters looked pretty identical to each other. One and three have the same eyebrows and eyes. Number twos eyes were wider apart and the space between her brows was flat. So in my eyes she looked nothing like the sisters.
I agree. I thought # 3 looked quite different, but it’s hard to tell with black & white film ..
Both of Don Ameche's daughters were adopted.
KITTY For the Win! Thank You! Your are so RIGHT! ♥
or "To Tell the Truth" is wonderful- I saw it with my high school in NYC on life
Jayne is adorable !
19:37: It's ABBA EBAN. He got the names reversed.
Jayne looks quite glamorous and eye-popping here. What's interesting is that when she was still rocking the exact same hair, makeup and jewelry 30 years later it just looked garish and strangely cheap.
As cheap as her husband's toupee.
YES. Later in life I thought she looked like Liberace in drag.
Connie Ameche 1945-2007
the second set of secret keepers...very clever and fun way to trick the panel and us viewers...that was fun.
When I see a pic of Jayne Meadows, I think of a Drag Queen.
@Greg Taylor - your "Drag Queen" obsession ... says more about you, rather than our classy Jayne Meadows !!
@@warriormanmaxx8991 Oh ya. I have such an obsession , instead of just an opinion, like you. 🙃
15-year-old girls were so much more mature looking in them thar dayz
Tom Poston’s comment about escaping from four colleges was in poor taste, given the subject matter. I’m sure he didn’t realize how it may have come across to some people.
Wrong again.
Oh come on, it was humor
It's strange that this is relatively soon after the WWII and they are so light hearted about this, while nowadays you can't say anything in the wrong tone
None of his co-workers recognized his daughters?
He probably never brought them to work! This show was filmed back in the 50's! The wife stayed home with the children! Times have changed!🙄
Cecilie Noble Your comment sounds true, in a general sense, but these people were not general/ or common & I used to think celebrities were more tightly connected, I’m wrong I guess ..
They were both so cute and well spoken in answering the panelists' questions.
@Commercial Communication - No ... Don never brought the daughters to work! Why would Don bring daughters to work, when WORK had to be done.
Do you ask rhetorical questions much in daily life, too ?!?
@@warriormanmaxx8991 Parents used to bring their children to work so they could see what their mother/father did. I forgot what that day was called. So be nicer to other commenters. If you watch 'I've got A secret' A lot of the employees brought there children to work.
Game 2 wins hands down, even though I would never knowingly eat one of those... :)
"He didn't have a bell" LOL
Now I see from where Steve Allen (husband of Jane Meadows) got the word-play joke on "New Horrid" deoderant.
I thought Jane Meadows was kind of stuck up for not tasting the algae cookie
I love Space Cookies but mine aren't made out of algae.
Mine are!
Made with Chlorella - just like the cookies on this episode.
Don Ameche introduced the audience (not the panel) to his daughters - very Italian.
Celebrity Guests:
1. Jayne Meadows
2. Don Ameche
3. Kitty Carlisle
4. Tom Poston
Host:
Bud Collyer
22:10 Kitty Carlisle nails it on the head!
They have severely limited immigration of skilled, educated people over the past 40 + years. Recent immigration policy allows hordes of unskilled people who support the very kind of political systems from which this guest fled.
As long as it's legal
She hits it for her people - which was the contestant. A pretty obvious complete liar - Romania fought with Germany. If hitting it on the head is letting in hordes of undesirables, I guess you're right.
Game 2 - Spirulina!
Not gonna offer the girls a carton of cigarettes???
Kitty Carlisle could always be expected to be classy…she and I worked together for years.
Unless I'm shown otherwise, it's ashame that both Don Ameche & Ralph Bellamy never appeared on TTTT at the same time at some point.
Jayne is a babe...
I indepently proposed an algae experiment for Skylab. Hard to do the p.r. for it. Waste liquids growing food.
They have Tom Poston as Mr. Looney (as in Looney Tunes)
The "real girl" in Round 2 had a sweet Southern accent. I'm curious to know where she was from.
@WATCHMAN 117 - unless that gal is still alive to answer the question ... your curiosity will never be satisfied.
it's interesting to watch old shows where you know that everyone is now dead.
Gil C. Alroy....he got 36 A's in a language that was not his primary language! wow!
OK where are the cigarettes sponsors they usually have cigarettes sponsoring the shows
they get cut when these shows air on tv reruns
Not all, In the early days of television companies would sponsor shows. "What's my Line" had a deodorant company "Stoppette" as sponsor. This show was sponsored by Arrid also a deodorant company. It wasn't until sometime in the early 1960's that the FCC stopped the practice of show sponsors.
Jane Meadows a stunning beauty!
when America was great
So he escaped 4 times ----- but kept getting caught ?
@huskyjerk - Yes ... he escaped 4 times - kept getting caught !! Do you not believe the affidavit as read, or do you ask questions as ... whether the Earth is round or flat ??
Sad history but but that men got over that shit and he's a good example to create a good live after surviving the hell !!!!!!
Steve Allen was one lucky guy !!!!
I love the meadows girls
Jayne meadows was really beautiful
the 3rd segment- it was way too obvious on one of the three contestants- he couldn't pronounce anything correctly and had facts so wrong.
as if the people with the secret aren't under enough stress, the members of the panel ask really dumb questions sometimes that are not at all amusing. case in point: Kitty's questions about who invented paper and was eqyption paper able to be written on under water. just lame.
Some of the game shows now make all of their questions look scholarly by comparison.
@Brian Schienbein : stfu.
@@fpinzow Peggy Cass was on for years & always had very impressive, intellectual questions 😃
Jane Meadows bewitched 😊
Jayne was a little mean here.
Subscribed...
They shouldn't make jokes about concentration camps and being shot in the leg. But since's it's the 50's,everything was sugarcoated.
Man #2 in Game #1
Lady #2 in Game #2
Man #1 in Game #3
Seriously,the rest of the cast didn't know those girls were Don Amechie daughters ?
@Andrew Williamson - Yes, seriously ... the rest of the cast did NOT know the girls were Don Ameche's (not Amechie) daughters. If so, the girls would not have been asked to be on the show. Any other "smart" questions ?!?
Celebrities were more private in 1959. Today, celebrities plaster photos of their kids all over social media and everyone knows who they are.
Space cookies eh! I,m one who grew up in 70s had my share of space cookies
As a vegetarian, im so glad we dont eat algae
The cookie was really Soylent Green!
ITS PEOPLE
It looked to me that Bud Collyer was wearing a Jewish Kippah during this program. Perhaps he was wearing it to Honour the Final Contestant's Jewish Religion.
Are these shows now outside of copyright protection?
Yes, they are.
@@mynamedoesntmatter8652 How does one check on this? What are the laws?
@@ana419
You can look all the copyright laws up for yourself. Due to the age of these old broadcast shows, unless some part (only a part, if there’s anything applicable) is copyrighted due to anything, like recorded music, these old shows fall outside guidelines of copyright. Newer broadcasts are copyrighted so you have to have permission to use them or pay to use parts that are under guidelines. If anything falls under CR it’s deleted so the remaining parts can be used. People get permission to use these, what’s left of them. Because of the way they were recorded, not all shows survived because they were recorded over by the studios to save tape. If you see a show that has parts missing, like music or advertising, that’s because those minutes contained copyrighted materials. However most has merely been destroyed instead of preserved.
Jayne Meadows is conceited
Eeba Abban ....oy vey! Number 3 nixed.
Yes Kitty, LEGAL immigration is a wonderful thing!
Back when people came to this country to make their own way and contribute to society.
Cornelia is very pretty, too bad her name is Cornelia. I looked it up and she goes by Connie. Whew.
Julie Overright
I can’t blame the girl for changing her name. It isn’t a name that makes you think of a pretty popular girl. Very old fashion.
Names come and go. Who knows but within 2 to 5 years Cornelia might be very popular. I've seen it happen with names like Emily and Claire, Olivia and others and a lot of old-time biblical names that weren't popular in the 50s and 60s. Everything old becomes new again.

Hollywood elitist even back then
A concentration camp escape was just another curiosity item on the show, like the guy who invented the underwater pen. And the only thing on Jane Meadow's mind in that somber context is to continue to exude a Hollywood Diva air, and even flirt with one of them. Who ironically, were then swiftly marched off stage to go collect their year supplies of whatever. To leave airtime for the "sponsors." Shame on the sponsors, too.
