Between the sequins and that bow, poor Peggy Cass looks ridiculous.

I like Tom Poston. He's a very serious guy and smart too.

Gene Rayburn! It's him!

Contestant #3 didn't seem quite on the ball. #2 was pretty good, but you could eliminate him because he said "H & F Block".

[Schammy24]

His name is Richard Bloch.

Oh !! it always was such treat to see my favorite person on the Panel Gene Rayburn and he was just as goofy back in 50's & 60's as he was during the 70's & 80's . Check his black slick hair ,and his voice never changed a bit . Of Course Kitty Carlisle , Peggy Cass & Tom Poston were all good Panelists .

I'm not sure if I heard this correctly--did the second contestant initially say that his company was "H & F Block?"

[mrmatchgame]

That is what I heard

I am an employee with H&R Block and had the opportunity of meeting Henry. He is a very down to earth humble man. What a treat to see him looking so young. I could still tell who he was.

Thanks for sharing this. I am a former employee of H & R Block from 1985 to 1987, and I saw a lot of Henry but never Richard. I remember how taxes were done back then and how they've changed today. $7.50 would be quite a bargain today.

I was reading in Wikipedia that Richard had sold his interest in the firm in 1982. He was a colon cancer survivor.
