For Ronnie - Gusset - a piece of material sewn into a garment to strengthen or enlarge a part of it, such as the collar of a shirt or the crotch of an undergarment. ...from Bing
Walter Cassel (1910-2000) was an American operatic baritone and actor. He began his career singing on the radio during the mid-1930s and appeared in a couple of Hollywood musical films in the late 1930s. He made his first stage appearances in a handful of Broadway productions during the late 1930s and early 1940s before moving to opera.
For the second group, I went with number 2 just on the way she introduced herself...the others were a little forced in how they said her name, while she looked and sounded authentic. And I was right!
This one was actually the easiest to guess. I knew the moment he sat down. Opera singers wear a distinctive style of stage make-up and he was the only one who did. The other two weren't even close. Number two at least tried but I don't think number one wore any make-up at all.
I never doubted that #3 was the real singer after his frank admission of ignorance about Reagan's insipid "gusset" question. You need to remember that the non-impostor is only obligated to answer truthfully; he's not obligated to try to convince you in his favor--it's in his interest, in fact, to appear an impostor. I was right about the 4-H club member as well. I didn't even try to guess the triplet because the answer hinged entirely on private information (meeting the panelists or their spouses).
glad to see Ronald Reagan before he had thoughts about U.S. politics, but you sure can see how he won people over even then. He was third Vice President and then six months later President of the actor’s Guild/SAG 1947. (i was almost two. and my parents were members of Equity/the legit Theatre’s actors’ Assoc. By then it was really beginning to be interwoven.)🌿🌷🌱

Just as there was a German version of "What's My Line?", there is also one of "To Tell the Truth": "Sag die Wahrheit!" (Tell theTruth!). The first contestants in the link below all claim to be a "mask designer" for the movies. (Actually, it would be more accurate to say that he's a make-up artist, since he does more than just design masks.) And once again, I think it's very "Teutonic," in that there is an educational slant to it: The real mask designer shows how he can make one of the panelists' hands hairy, as one would do for a werewolf movie. Even if you can't understand the language, this part of it is kind of interesting to see: th-cam.com/video/JoWN4buYcOA/w-d-xo.html
Well, none of these contestants do any real garment sewing because a gusset is the extra fabric used to form a diamond shape insert where all the pants crotch seams meet and creates ease in the fit. My mother taught me to sew at age ten and I recently turned seventy.
How exactly is Reagan exceptionably "honorable" here? Were you expecting him to cheat? If you mean politically, on the other hand, it's a documented fact that you are simply dead wrong. As a statesman and as a propagandist (starting with traveling GE spokesman, contemporary with this television appearance), Reagan was manifestly anything BUT honorable.

+tommy k Hi. This question is asked often. Perhaps it is the way it is explained. Whomever the sponsor is provides the money amount. The total amount of money that is earned is then *split* amongst the three panelists. And *one thousand dollars* in the 50/60's was worth a *lot* of money!! There is a gift basket of some of the sponsor's products.
They receive the money from the sponsor. It was Marlboro this time, but Bud Collyer mistakenly said "Geritol", a sponsor of previous shows. It was Marlboro this time tho. I wonder was there some words said after the show or some argument by Marlboro saying something like "were not paying the money" because BC said Geritol and not our name.
I agree with you on both accounts, but I would point out that Reagan's charm probably has something to do with how he became a successful Hollywood actor (of the second tier) and that while he made a reasonably entertaining game-show panelist, he doesn't seem to have been a particularly adept one.
My guess for the first is #2, but I'm not confident. I just wish the panel had asked them to sing a little. That would give me a better idea of their vocal range. A Baritone singer is lower than a Tenor but higher than a Bass, when referring to vocal range. #3 looks like a Klingon! (I was wrong, lol) I laughed at the 25min/lb wisecrack! (I'm guessing #1. The others looked like they were trying to memorize stuff during the affidavit reading. And, though #3 looks like a farm girl, those competitions usually seem to pick more "conservative" type girls with longer haircuts.) ... And I was wrong again. Forgot to update before they showed the real one from the triplets; I figured it was either #1 or #2, based on appearance, and #3 sounded different somehow.
This game concept completey falls down when the panelists can ask trivial questions that involve the secret identity, like 'what was the name of the doorman' . BTW the costume/makeup on the right is awful!

They broke the mold when he was created. 😢
I was sure that for the opera singers that number 2 was the real one; I thought number 3 was the least likely!
