Miss A, Mr B, Mrs C and Mr D: “Our names are Pat Carroll, Henry Morgan, Anita Gillette, Richard Dawson”

Carroll is a publisher from Hollywood, Morgan is a Supervisor of Parking at UCLA, Gillette is a teacher and cello player, and Dawson is a Deputy City Attorney for Los Angeles.  

[Rob Ferrone] from Cherry Hill, New Jersey and [Charles Lutz] from Tuscon, Arizona travelled from Tuscon to Chicago inexpensively: “We shipped ourselves by air – in a crate”

The two men tell a tale of traveling to visit Ferrone's sweetheart in Chicago for a three day weekend.  They offer a lot of detail about their flight, but many questions are left unanswered, such as how they returned to Tuscon and why they tried the dangerous and illegal stowaway stunt in the first place.  Their story is also not corroborated by any contemporary reporting (or subsequent storytelling) that we can find, despite the fact that the subject of "human mail" is popular enough to warrant its own Wikipedia page.  We have our doubts. 

Special guest Anne Meara is in the studio, but husband Jerry Stiller isn’t: “Jerry’s in a blimp 1000 feet above the studio”

Jerry communicates through a speaker in the studio while we see shots of the blimp in the night sky.  Not just any blimp, but the famous Goodyear blimp.  One of them, anyway.  Goodyear started building airships for the military in 1917.  Within a few years they were making their own for marketing and advertising purposes.  The campaign was so successful that rival tire maker Goodrich at one point ran commercials reminding consumers that they were the ones without a blimp.  The comedy team of Stiller and Meara became wildly popular in the 1960s through appearances on TV variety shows, most notably The Ed Sullivan Show.  They continued to appear together on television throughout their lives, and also had notable acting credits independent of each other.  They are the parents of actor-director Ben Stiller.  

Emma Ortiz, originally from Bogota, Columbia and now living in Glendale, California: ​“I don’t understand English (Steve will show me the answers)”

Steve has already shown her what to say in the introduction, and during the game just points to “YES” and “NO” cards. Ortiz was recruited from a local Berlitz class.  Presumably she wasn’t very far along in her lessons at this point.
