Steven McPeak from Seattle, Washington: “I ride the world’s
tallest unicycle (20 feet high)”
McPeak, a
student at Seattle Pacific College, custom built his own cycle when the
standard 6-foot and 12-foot models failed to provide a challenge for him. He would continue his unusual pursuit for
many years, setting various speed, endurance and height records along the way
and earning the nickname “Unique” McPeak.
In 1980, he “peaked” with a unicycle slightly more than 100 feet tall.
Jack (59), Charles (65) and Max (74) Drucker from Kingstree, South
Carolina and Harry Drucker (77) from Miami Beach, Florida: “We’re all here on
our honeymoons”
It seems only
appropriate that the last episode would include a “wacky matrimony” secret much
as the earliest shows did. We meet the
wives of the four Drucker brothers at the end of the segment, two of whom are
sisters.
Special guest Lynn Redgrave brings
survey questions asked of 100 members of the Secret studio audience. Given the results for each question, the
panel tries to figure out how many of 100 members of a London TV audience
answered the same way. Redgrave, only 24 years old here, had won a Golden Globe
and an Oscar nomination for her title role in the film Georgy Girl (1966) and is currently on Broadway in Black Comedy (1967).
I’ve Got a Secret concludes
its fifteen-year run with a barely ninety-second wrap-up, with each panelist
very quickly saying goodbye. The rushed
awkwardness of the farewells has led to speculation that Steve and the panel
returned to the studio at some later date to record this goodbye segment and
tack it onto the end of an episode that they hadn’t expected would be the last.
However, we’re reasonably certain that was not the case, and that this
unsatisfying conclusion was simply the way the producers chose to end the
show. We’ll lay out our case in a future
essay on the
History
page.
