This show has my favorite ladies on it, Polly Bergen and Kitty Carlisle. I saw Ms. Carlisle in late 2006 at her one woman show in North Hollywood and she was wonderful. She had just celebrated her 96th birthday...She did a lot of good in her lifetime for the arts...
Seeing these shows now, for the first time in decades, I find I'm much more impressed with her (and Peggy Cass) than I remember being as a kid.
How wonderful ❤ that Kitty was still going strong at that age 95 years A blessing 🙌
🥃👴🏻 SOOO HOWS YO MOTHER DOIN?
Don Ameche and Ralph Bellamy we’re both panelists on this show. They were great together in the Eddie Murphy-Dan Ackroyd movie “Trading Places”.
Do you know if they ever appeared on the panel of this show at the same time?
🥃👴🏻 NIKKI SIXX IN 24
I love these old shows
🥃👴🏻 WHY????
I had no idea Henny Youngman was with the Secret Service!
🥃👴🏻 MY HUSBAND LEFT ME FOR THE BUTTER AND EGG MAN.
Thank heaven the panel is now writing on their ballots and announcing and posting them themselves. It's no dramatic and lends itself to funny comments. And it is quicker. It's genius as a format all around.
Phil Foster, later earned fame at Laverne's father Frank De Fazio on 'Laverne & Shirley"
he dealt coke to the cast
🥃👴🏻 LAVERNES FATHER WAS BOZO.

🥃👴🏻 WRONG! YOURE TALKIN BOUT WAYNE & SHUSTER
OMG--Mr. DeFazio lives!
🥃👴🏻 SO DO FRANK FAY.
The show panelists I remember from the afternoon version were: Kitty Carlisle, Orson Bean, Peggy Cass, and Bill Cullen. I've yet to see that line up in the shows uploaded here.
No recollection of Ralph Bellamy or Hy Gardner on this show even though I watched it at a young age. As an older child attended several tapings with my mother. Good show. I enjoyed this episode.
11:15
Polly: Why did you pick the name Adams?
Adams: I couldn't pick Eve! :-)
The contestants in the first round all looked well into their 60s.
Best visuals and best scoring of a panel show in that period.
Game #2 was probably the most fun of any of the games on this show. Thank you for putting them up. According to Wikipedia, Phil Foster's real name was Fivel Feldman. If they had given that name, it would have been incredibly obvious because Fivel is usually "Phillip" in English. BTW, Joey Adams' birth name was Joseph Abramowitz, and Hy Gardner's birth name was Hyman Goldstein. Henny Youngman's family's original name was Yungman. Notice that the new names are pretty close. Indeed, I went for Phil Foster because of the common "F" in the last names.
Long before the crass, TV-Game show hosts
I think Polly's reaction at 7:37 was genuine. She may have been an actress, but her scream struck me as totally real and spontaneous.
Polly is extremely annoying.
@@psychnurse964Thank goodness for fast forwarding
Boughman was head of the Secret Service starting in 1948. He instituted a bunch of modernizing programs and oversaw the expansion of the presidential protection detail that had been around 16 men in 1948 to close 40 in the early 1950s. He became famous as the first Secret Service head to make appearances on TV. He also wrote a book about his career and discussed, in more detail than some approved of, the methods used by the USSS when guarding the president. He retired in 1962, the year before JFK's death. The book's name was Secret Service Chief.
I remember someone with a job similar to the first central character on the 70's version. Since he wasn't allowed to accept money, his share of the winnings went to charity. Also, I mainly know Phil Foster for playing LaVerne DiFazio's father.
Later, Peggy Cass became a very smart panelist.
🥃👴🏻 PROVE IT.
While I am not a big fan of the Bud Collier shows, the comedians on this one made it worth watching more than once
Love this show, but can’t take any more of B u-ha-ha-ha ud, having to edit out his fake la-ha-ha-ha-haughter. When it’s real you can't talk at the same time.
He was better as Superman, on radio.
I am pretty sure one of the Zaccinis appeared on "What's My LIne?" as a human cannonball. No many of her caliber still around.
soulierinvestments Great catch-- yes! First round of this episode, July 18, 1965: th-cam.com/video/YqbK6LokbuQ/w-d-xo.html
To Tell the Truth (CBS) soulierinvestments It must have been Dweena's sister. Her first name was Nancy.
+soulierinvestments yes-not many willing to take a shot at a career like that anymore:)
v8infinity8 soulierinvestments You are both clearly channeling Bennet Cerf in your comments! ;)
🙄
Spelling: U. E. Baughman (Urbanus Edmund Baughman).
Urbanus: "from the city"
@@bme7491 Yes, I know. You look very urbane yourself. Saluti dalla bellissima città di Firenze, Italia.
The joke is still on all of us, Phil Fosters name at birth was Fivel Feldman, not Michael!
I didn’t realize Henny Youngman was 6’3”!
very interesting history of the secret service. director u. e. baughman was appointed by harry truman, (the president has the prerogative to appoint his own director) dwight d eisenhower never appointed anyone so baughman assumed the duty during eisenhower's 8 years on office. jfk waited 8 months to appoint a new director (james rowley on sept. of 1961) and of course we all know what happened nov. 22, 1963. baughman became a big critic of the secret services protection of kennedy that day, some critiques weren't very practical, but one was later adopted in practice, unauthorized people being kept out of buildings the president passes.
Watch Today's To Tell the Truth versus 1957's and just shake your head it's appalling how bad that show is now.
Well, the two men are giving their reasons why they voted for whom they voted. Polly might never get the concept of giving a reason. I know that later on, Kitty did. I like how there was always a twist on something in these early shows. Like having someone prominent as one of two contestants who the panel was trying to guess. Thanks for the video.

Ralph Bellamy did his math wrong. #1 worked for the US Secret Service only 25 years; #2, 29 years, #3, 29 years. However, #3 started the FBI at age 20 which is unlikely.
Just WHAT is Polly Bergen on?She always seems to be high and manic!
i know, she was all over the place on this one.
I would like to play with them . . .
I like Polly. Great personality.
The second game is one of the most funny TTTT I can recall.
soulierinvestments I agree. Haven't heard of any of them but they sure were witty and funny.
Henny Youngman was the most enduring and famous of the three.
soulierinvestments Found an old clip where he heckles Milton Berle.
Johan Bengtsson Henny Youngman's most famous and clichéd line: "Take my wife.... please!"
SaveThe TPC And it makes me laugh every time I hear it.
I love Henny Youngman he was a smart ass!
I think the guy on the right for Hugh E. because he didn't look at the q card when he stated his name.
I lost.
just watched the one with the secret service guy who was supposed to protect JFK. ironic that johnny carson made fun that they didn't do a very good job protecting Abe.. time plus pain equals comedy?
I wonder why Ralph Bellamy got to question twice?
I noticed on the site TV Tango they have this as being the April 2nd show.The April 16th show you have listed appears to be the April 9th program.And according to the site there is nothing listed in the usual Tuesday 9pm time slot on the 16th of April.So it appears (if this site IS correct) no show aired on April 16th,1957.Maybe you could confirm or deny for us.
Here is the link for the site.

Man, someone should have asked Henny, if they could take his wife......please!
This is the second time Hy Gardner has commented on his own size. Does anyone know how tall he is?
He was 4 foot 7 and a half. He wore shoes with a 12 inch lift to appear more average in size.
Michael Feldman? Fivel Feldman according to Wiki , Phil was Fivel Feldman.
Wrong onions Billy boy
He called himself Michael on the show. So that's what he used obviously til he took his professional name.
The April 2, 1957 show appears to be lost.
They got paid in Geritol and not cash? Did I hear that correctly????
They always got a gift package from whoever was the sponsor at the time...Pharmaceuticals, Incorporated, who made Geritol, produced numerous over the counter nostrums...at the time you could get Sominex sleeping aid, Zarumin arthritis pain reliever, Serutan laxative, and R-D-X diet pill.. Its J.B. Williams division made shaving cream, along with Aqua-Velva after shave and Lectric Shave pre-shave lotion.
Better than a carton of Marlboros!
No
I cheated for Game 2. It was #3.
#2 Henny.
I lost.
I think it's #2, but #3 looked least likely.
-Polly Bergen
Man #2 in Game #1
Man #3 in Game #2
Lady #3 in Game #3
Please remove this moronic troll from the comments section
little did they know.....kenedey round the corner.
Geritol all up in your face.
Sound like you are really kind
