This was originally telecast in the late summer of 1955, at the time the show's sponsor, R.J. Reynolds, switched from promoting their "Cavalier" brand to the bigger-selling "Winston" {and continued doing so until their sponsorship ended in 1961}. Bill Cullen was one of the key members of the panel for over 15 years, and also ran an early morning DJ show called "Pulse" on New York's WRCA-AM {now WFAN}- hence, Jack gives Bill a phone number that was probably a tie-in to a Cullen radio contest.
OMG! After hearing Mr.Lemmon explaining this former tv game show's rules..this sounds a new version of an Abbott & Costello routine.

@lotsandlotsofbubbles I think there's a feature in People magazine where stars are asked what they're currently reading. So no, it does happen.

I mean what show was he on with Bill?

According to my friend and fellow Bill Cullen fanatic Matt Ottinger, the most likely show was a radio game called "Catch Me If You Can" on CBS, 1948.

Who was to the left of Henry? If you say Jayne Meadows than it's your other left.

Faye Emerson, regular panelist for about the first five years of the series.

How many Hollywood stars read books these days?? Or for that matter, how many people would ask celebrities what books they were reading?
