Mr X: “Henry Morgan has owed me $2.00 for 26
years”
Norman Quint, a childhood friend,
shared a cab with Henry in 1932 and never got paid back. This slight injustice is worked into an
elaborate, lengthy segment which calls back to the doodling game two weeks
earlier (
E263
). Henry had scribbled “Norman” on his paper, and later claimed
not to know anyone by that name.
Mrs. Grace Muzzy form Concord, New Hampshire:
“I have the very first Social Security Number” (001-01-0001)
Grace Dorothy Owen was working at the
Concord Post Office on November 24, 1936 when the first batch of Social
Security cards arrived. New Hampshire
had been assigned the lowest number sets because the honor of the first card
was supposed to have gone to Social Security Board Chairman John Winant, a
former three-term governor there. When
Winant declined the honor, the first card was given to the first applicant in
the state, Miss Owen.
Special Guest Farley Granger: “I delivered
diapers to Jayne’s apartment today”
Jayne is back on the panel for the
first time since having given birth on November 16. Jayne and Granger had appeared together in
the film Enchantment (1948), but
disguised, Jayne didn’t recognize him. A
little more than a year earlier (
E204
), Paul Newman played a similar trick on
Henry Morgan.
