Another traditional episode featuring relatives of celebrities.   

Mr. X: “Pat Boone is my brother” and Miss Y: “Carol Burnett is my sister” 
Nick Boone and Christine Burnett perform “Makin’ Whoopie” (1928).  As Nick Todd, the younger Boone had a couple of modest hits in 1957, though that is not mentioned here.   


Mr. A: “Bing Crosby is my brother,” Mr. B: “Bob Hope is my brother” and Mr. C: “Dorothy Lamour is my mother” 
Everett Crosby, Jim Hope and teenager Ridgely Howard stumble through a soft-shoe routine as The Twinkletoes.  Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour starred together in a series of “Road” pictures.  Road to Hong Kong (1962) would be released in March and would be the final film in the series.   


Mrs. X: “I’m Henry Morgan’s mother” 
Eve Morgan has made at least two other appearances on the show ( E63 , E338 )   

A jazz combo performs to end the show, made up of Randy Kirby (Durward Kirby’s son) on bass, Fred Waring, Jr on trombone, Darius Brubeck (Dave Brubeck’s son) on piano and Gene Paul (son of Les Paul) on drums.  Randy would make many appearances on various television series from the 60s into the 90s.  Darius made a career as a jazz performer and educator.  Fred Jr became a conductor and jazz trombonist.
