Gene Trindl, a photographer: “My nose is exactly the same length as Jimmy Durante’s by actual measurement” (68 millimeters) 
During the game, Mr. Trindl is snapping pictures for an upcoming feature in TV Guide.  Trindl shot some 800 total assignments for TV Guide, including 200 covers.  His photos of the panel would appear in the March 22 issue of the magazine, along with an earlier shot of Trindl and Durante posing nose to nose.   

Captain X: “I’ve gone higher into space than any other human being” 
Ivan C Kincheloe, Jr was a flying ace during the Korean War, and a test pilot of experimental craft.  On September 7, 1956, Kincheloe took an X-2 rocket to a height of over 126,000 feet (24 miles), the highest altitude achieved by a pilot at the time.  Kincheloe talks about the upcoming X-15 program and his hopes of becoming part of the team that orbits the earth.  Tragically, Captain Kincheloe would perish in an airplane crash on July 26, just six months after this appearance.
