Special Guest Red Buttons: “I’ve got the panelists’ paychecks in my pocket” 
Buttons was primarily known as a young comic and the star of his own CBS variety show when he made this appearance.  A few years later, he would surprise audiences and critics with a dramatic turn in the film Sayonara (1957) earning an Oscar for it.  He appeared in dramatic and comedic roles in the years that followed, and found a new audience for his standup in the 1970s with the “Never Got a Dinner” routines he would perform at various roasts, especially the Dean Martin TV specials.
