Thank you for posting this...one of my earliest memories is of watching "I'll Bet" (which I called "The Betting Game") after Jeopardy! and a show that I remembered had Jan Murray on it. (Though my research tells me the show between "Jeopardy!" at 11:30 and "I'll Bet" was "Call My Bluff", not hosted by Jan Murray.... perhaps Jan Murray was a regular.
I recognize them now. Could they have been any more low key about identifying them without making them wear disguise? Why didn't they post their full names?
I remember the revival of "I'll Bet" under the title "It's Your Bet" and I saw this for the first time and thought it was very funny. Jack Narz was outstanding as host, injecting humor and keeping the show moving. It's a shame that the show didn't have a long run in 1965.
Ok, after watching this one.. I got one of my questions answered about the It's Your Bet clip I just viewed.. The Kennedy/Hal March version was syndicated....and, I've never seen this one either (real gems both) .. the listening devices they used on this one are really interesting, sort of like the listening sticks you see at some musuems. Keep the great stuff coming !!!
And.. hey, I'm surprised the "titmouse" clue cleared Standards and Practices .. and hey, the Password sounding announcer on both versions is kinda neat..
Is the announcer Roy Whaley, who did 'Crusader Rabbit'?

The other half of the "Mr. and Mrs. Long" couple would obviously be Mara Corday.
