Mr. X: “My son will fight Floyd Patterson next month…for the
Heavyweight Championship of the World”
Jens Johansson uses an interpreter
because he doesn’t understand English. The interpreter turns out to be his son the
boxer! Ingemar Johansson would upset Patterson on June 26 to claim the
heavyweight crown. He would lose the
title to Patterson in a rematch a year later, and lose again to him in 1961. They would be the only two losses in the
Swede’s relatively brief career, though historians do not consider him one of
the all-time greats. The two fighters
would become good friends later in life.
Special Guest Doris Day is actually a
ten-year-old New Jersey girl with the same name as the famous actress, who’s
out sick. Her Secret involves model
trains that are wired to respond to the voices of each of the panelists. The panelist who talks the most during their
questioning will win the race. This is a
tie-in with Doris Day’s new movie It
Happened To Jane (1959), which has railroading as a backdrop and which also
features a cameo by Garry and the panel of Bill, Jayne, Henry and Betsy.
Dr. Henry Redka from Mount Vernon, New York: “I’m going to put
