In all, there are six generations of the family in the studio, down to a baby.
Special guest Cliff "Charley Weaver" Arquette
With the panel blindfolded, "Charley" only answers half the questions asked of him. Singer and actor Dennis Day answers the other half. Arquette had been a co-star on The Dennis Day Show (1952-54) which is probably where Day picked up his impression. Arquette was a busy comic actor, primarily in radio, where he started playing his "Charley Weaver" character in the early 1950s.

show, always in character as Charley. That led to a successful "second act" career in which Arquette made many television appearances over the next two decades, almost always in character.
