[graperonto]

oh how times have changed... they get $1,000 and a carton of Salem cigarettes!

Funny how one can hear by the way the announcer talks at the beginning that this was televised in the 60's, and not the 50's..

That "surprise ending" was, quite literally, sheer comedy.

Has anyone seen the show, @ 1958, with pool table pro Willie Mosconi as a guest?

If so, let me know, thanks.

LOL!

See thats why u needed more blacks on tv back then. A little color helps to see their faces. These cats are super white!!! BTW the masks are a lil creepy.

kolsaba? at 2:50? What was she expecting?

[RRaquello]

@eldersprig

I think she meant kielbasa which may not have been as familiar to non-Polish Americans at that time.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!! PAWEL MONAT IS MY HUSBAND'S FATHER! My husband just happened to find this the other day. He was VERY SURPRISED to find a recording of this episode of TTTT. He watched his dad from home when this was "LIVE". Back in those days there was no way to record anything off the tv. WHERE DIDI YOU FIND THIS? and HOW DIDI YOU HAVE A VHS OF THIS? Again, thank you so much.....

@janezbiz This was a rebroadcast of the show on Game Show Network. Even though this was live, it was recorded on kinescope as it was being broadcast.

Also, do you know if your father-in-law was ever discovered/apprehended by the Polish government, or if he lived out/is living out his days here in America?

Henry Morgan was a great voice man on radio with Fred Allen so this is not too much of a surprise that "TTTT"" did this on that night...it seems like it was the best opening ever!!!! And the guy who looked like Kruschev (sic) was perfect-WOW!!!
