Mrs. X and Mrs. Y: “We used to play in a musical trio with Bess Myerson…Bess is our sister” 
Helen Weiss and Sylvia Grace performed with their famous sister exactly once years ago in a contest, and came in tenth out of ten entrants.  Nevertheless, the three perform together here.   

Jesse Mohorovich from New York City: “I was born in a lifeboat on the high seas” 
Mohorovich is wearing the uniform of the Merchant Marines, where he has just been accepted as a cadet.  He was born March 30, 1942.  His Yugoslavian mother was crossing the Atlantic on an American cargo vessel when it was torpedoed by a German U-Boat.  The survivors were rescued two days later by the USS Jesse Roper, from which Jesse gets his first name.  The original namesake of the USS Roper was a navy officer who died in 1901 during the Spanish-American War.   

Special Guest Craig Stevens: “I’m going to test the panel’s powers of observation” 
An older actress interrupts the game appearing to be a confused audience member.  Garry and Stevens are in on the gag, but the audience and even the panel aren’t too sure.  The panel is then questioned about the experience.  Stevens is in the middle of his three-season run as private detective Peter Gunn, by far his best-known role.
