Garry has taken the week off (he's in California) so our panelists take turns as host and each segment is played with a three-person panel. Jayne introduces the show but does not host a segment.
[Phil Phillips] from Baltimore, Maryland: “My shorts fell off during a
basketball game”
Henry hosts. Phillips lost his shorts as a freshman in a high school game, presumably some time ago.
Tom Houston from London: “I’m
going around the world on $14”
Faye hosts. The 25-year-old Brit (who pronounces his name "hoo-stun") was inspired by a
speech given by the Duke of Edinburgh to an Oxford University audience. In that speech, the queen’s husband said that
any young man worth his salt ought to be able travel the world on five pounds
sterling (about fourteen dollars).
Houston took up the challenge, taking a variety of odd jobs along the
way. He documented his exploits in a
series of dispatches that were picked up by newspapers around the world, and
would publish a book about his adventure called The Five Pound Look (Weidenfeld 1957). A few weeks after this appearance, Houston
would marry his British fiancé at Niagara Falls, and she would continue with
him on his travels.
Special Guest Edward Everett Horton answers his questions while following TV cues from Bill Cullen
The panel is blindfolded and can't see Bill giving standard studio hand cues (speed up, slow down, louder, softer, etc) to Horton, who responds accordingly. The colorful, eccentric, and self-effacing Horton was a busy
actor on radio, television, film and stage for more than six decades.
Despite his prolific output, which included several Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers
musicals, many baby boomers remember him for a role in which he was not even
seen, as the narrator of "Fractured Fairy Tales" on The Rocky and
Bullwinkle Show (1959-1964).
