Smart of Dr. Montenier to give short "yes" and "no" answers- this concealed his accent, which I didn't even realize he had until he spoke at length late in the segment.
Montenier was involved in a terrible car accident at the end of May 1954, less than two years before this broadcast. His wife Helen was killed, as was the driver of the other car. Montenier's left leg was amputated in the hours following the crash. This accounts for why he is not seen walking to the desk to sit with John Daly or shaking hands with the guests afterward.

Fred Allen was a brilliant, funny man--great off the cuff and on.
Too bad his physical appearance was not embraced by the television public.

That's the trouble with modern TV: we hardly see any celebrity chemists on the tube any more.
