Dr Grant: “My grandfather was Ulysses S Grant” and Hanson Ely III: “My great-grandfather was Robert E Lee” 
Ulysses S Grant III (The “Dr” appellation appears to be, at best, honorary) was a retired major general who spent much of his life speaking publicly about his famous ancestor at Civil War memorials and similar events, culminating with the publication of “Ulysses S Grant: Warrior and Statesman” (William Morrow & Co 1968) just before his own death in 1969.  Ely’s father and paternal grandfather also served in the military.  Ely would take his own life in 1963 at the age of forty.   


Special Guest Rudy Vallee: "I'm raiding Faye Emerson's ice box"
The show has arranged to have Faye's refrigerator brought to the studio.  While the blindfolded panel asks their questions, Garry and Rudy help themselves to the contents.  Faye recognizes the contents the moment her blindfold comes off.  Vallee had a long career as a singer and actor, starting in the 1920s when he was one of the first pop culture “teen idols” and continuing with acting roles in TV and film in the 1970s.  In his early performing years, screaming fans created such a racket that he would sing his songs through a megaphone, which became his trademark.
