The panel is wading through what Garry says is over 100,000 postcards the show received full of offers to trade Henry for the horse from the previous week.  Many examples are shared. Henry says he’s trading the horse for a Model-T Ford automobile in Michigan.    

Lucky McDaniel from Columbus, Georgia: “I taught Garry to do what I just did” 
Mr. McDaniel is a sharpshooter who demonstrates some tricks with a rifle that fires cork bullets.  He is an instructor as well as a marksman, who calls his system “instinct shooting.”  His pupils have included President Dwight Eisenhower, heavyweight boxing champ Floyd Patterson, baseball’s Mickey Mantle and Prince Charles of England.    


Special Guest Harpo Marx responds to interview questions using props and pantomime, and the panel has to interpret his actions.  Harpo is plugging his book Harpo Speaks (Bernard Geis 1961), without speaking of course.  This is one of Harpo’s final television appearances of any sort.
