Bill, Jayne, Henry, Laraine Day

Garry returns from vacation.  Dennis O’Keefe makes an amusing cameo at the beginning, pretending to believe that he’s still supposed to host.   

To welcome Garry back, the show is flipped from its usual format.  The panelists serve as hosts and Garry alone must solve the secrets, which all relate to him personally and are presented at a quick pace. After the “contestants” play their games, they stand behind Garry at the panel, eventually filling the stage.  They include:   

Phil Axeman of Baltimore, MD who flunked Garry in a high school course.   

Marge Creighton, who was photographed with Garry in 1936 for a Baltimore newspaper.  The two were demonstrating a new dance, which they briefly recreate.   

Dave Feinson of Rye, NY (Garry’s hometown) who found termites in Garry’s house while he was away   

Roger Pugh and Al Smith of Rye, who were entrusted to look after his precious sailboat while he was away on vacation   

Rose, the Morfit family maid, who prepared a peanut butter sandwich for Garry to taste blindfolded.   

Garry’s wife Nell Morfit, and their two sons.   

Joan Madeo, Garry’s secretary, whose “secret” is that she has never sat on her boss’ lap.  This situation is rectified, with the permission of Mrs. Morfit.   

Garry’s brother and sister, whom Garry believes are in Chicago and Denver respectively   

Mac McGarrity, the proprietor of McGarrity’s bar (which Garry coincidently references earlier in the show), Garry’s favorite NYC nightspot   

Bill Branner, Garry’s attorney and business manager   

Producers Mark Goodson and Bill Todman   

Ed Darr, the president of R.J. Reynolds (makers of Cavalier and the show’s sponsor)   

The cast and staff of Garry’s daytime variety show, including Denise Lor   

Zippy the Chimp, whose rollerskating antics with Garry bring an absurd ending to the festivities
