Unidentified young girl: "I'm going to cut off my pigtails tonight"
Unidentified male contestant: "I married her twin sister" and unidentified female contestant: "I married his twin brother"
Wacky matrimony. Though this seems like something that would be at least somewhat common, the International Twins Association says it's quite rare. As of 1966, they reported only four documented situations when twins married twins. The Gil Fates notes do not identify the couples here, but the likeliest candidates are Wilfred and Edwin St Martin of Boston who married (respectively) Marjorie and Marie Christadoro on Easter Sunday in 1949. The couples even honeymooned together. Their story took a tragic turn in November, 1954 when Edwin died suddenly at age 31. (Also see

Special guest Art Carney: "I am going to play Pin the Tail on Bill Cullen"
At this point in his legendary career, Carney is appearing on Jackie Gleason's variety show. Among the sketches on the show was The Honeymooners, in which Carney honed his iconic portrayal of sewer worker Ed Norton. The Honeymooners as a separate TV series would air for one season of 39 episodes in 1955-56. Of his 13 Emmy Award nominations, seven were primarily for playing Ed Norton. Of those seven nominations, six would result in wins.
