George H Ough of Clinton, Iowa: “I’ve been driving the same car since 1915” 
Ough’s car is a 1914 Model “T” Ford, which he bought used for $375 a year after its release.  He has driven it around 200,000 miles without an accident.  Henry Ford’s “Tin Lizzie” was a revolution in design and was one of the first mass-production vehicles.  It was available from 1908 until 1927.    

Marvin Marx: “I removed a splinter from Marilyn Monroe”                 
Back in March, Marilyn got splinters in her celebrated derriere sliding into a chair at Toots Shor’s, a popular New York nightspot for celebrities.  She was there for Jackie Gleason’s 39th birthday party.  Marx is a writer for Gleason. He was also in attendance and helped remove the foreign substance.  Marx and writing partner Walter Stone were responsible for many of the scripts for Gleason’s legendary series The Honeymooners (1955-56).   

Special Guest Paul Winchell uses Garry as a substitute dummy 
Winchell managed to carve out a successful career for himself, especially in the 50s and 60s, despite working in the shadow of the far more famous ventriloquist Edgar Bergen.  He was a popular television personality who appeared on game shows (often with his most famous dummy, Jerry Mahoney) and acted in comedies and even the occasional drama.  Outside of his ventriloquism, he is probably best remembered as a voice actor who originated several familiar characters, including Disney’s Tigger, Dick Dastardly of the Wacky Races and The Smurfs’ evil nemesis Gargamel.
