Before playing, Garry opens with a brief clip of the previous week’s show, with Zippy the Chimp polishing Henry’s shoes.  One shoe is seen to have a hole in it, and Garry describes the flurry of mail the show received in response to that sartorial blunder.  Garry presents Henry with a gift: Three pairs of shoes with holes in them, to give to the rest of the panel.   

[Leonard Payne] of Green Village, NJ: “I fell asleep at a burlesque show.”   

Mr. R: “I was one of the ‘Four Horsemen’ of Notre Dame” 
Harry Stuhldreher was the quarterback for the 1924 Notre Dame football team. He and the other three members of the backfield were given the sobriquet by legendary sportswriter Grantland Rice after an upset victory against Army, after which Notre Dame launched a publicity blitz that included a now-famous picture of the four on horseback.      

Special Guest Cesar Romero will step on Garrry’s foot every time the panel stumbles in their questioning with an “um” or “ah”. 
Romero played a variety of Latin lovers and villains on film and television screens for nearly 60 years.  His work included the original versions of The Thin Man (1934) and Ocean’s 11 (1960), as well as several Disney movies of the 1960s, but he is arguably best remembered as the cackling Joker from the “Batman” TV series (1966).   

Zippy the Chimp makes a return appearance at the end of the show, running around on stage to the great delight of the audience.
