What is most fascinating to me is the fact that Henry Morgan had doodled “Norman” and didn’t remember that he knew any Normans! Is it more likely that we remember what we are owed than what we owe? They could have figured what $2 in 1931 would be worth in 1957 (3.43), plus interest. Or even investing $2 in some stock popular in 1931 and just leaving it there until 1954 and what it would be worth. Anyway, this was such a fun episode, and the look on Henry’s face when he recognized Norman (even without his hair!) It must have been fun for Norman to follow Henry’s career for all those years as he became famous and remember he owed him $2!

A great grouping of comedy talents here! Garry Moore, somewhat a forgotten man in TV, started in radio teamed with Jimmy Durante, went on to success on his own in TV, and pretty much discovered Carol Burnett. Henry Morgan did superb, sarcastic satire on radio before becoming a TV panelist. And I'VE GOT A SECRET was created by Allan Sherman, later famous for "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah" and other great comedy records. In a word, wow!!

derby1884 Because these people had talent, something sadly lacking in today's performers. In the early days of television, many (Ed Sullivan being the exception,) variety/panel show hosts had experience working in vaudeville or nightclubs, where they had a lot of experience working the crowds, and being able to change directions on a dime as needed...which you would need to do in a live show. That experience is rarely available any more. I've seen very lame stand-up comics who memorize their act, it comes off badly ( it bores them,) and they don't notice the audience not laughing. The experiences from back then are not readily available. Sad.
