Electronic Musician Jean-Jacques Perrey on "I've Got a Secret"

Electronic music pioneer Jean-Jacques Perrey appears on "I've Got a Secret" (November 21st, 1966) with host Steve Allen and panelists Betsy Palmer, Bill Cullen, Bess Myerson, and Henry Morgan.
After several other musicians are introduced along with their instruments (violin, French horn, bagpipe, clarinet) we learn that Perrey's secret is "I play one instrument that can sound like all of these."
After the game, that instrument is revealed to be the Ondioline, an early synthesizer-like keyboard instrument. He demonstrates that it can indeed mimic the sounds of the others and make unique sounds of its own.
Perrey and his collaborator Gershon Kingsley, with whom he recorded the 1966 album "The In Sound from Way Out", then play one of their compositions.

Jean-Jacques Perrey, with Gershon Kingsley, put out several albums on the Vanguard Label in the 60s. Perrey was also a master of tape loops, and used them heavily on his light pop songs. Their most often heard tune is "BAROQUE HOEDOWN" from their impressive 1967 album, "KALEIDOSCOPIC VIBRATIONS", which Disney used in the Light Parade shows at their theme parks. The tune they play here is called "Spooks in Space" which starts side 2 of their 1965 "IN SOUND FROM WAY OUT" album.

What instrument is that opposite the Ondioline? Is it an organ of some type?

Of all the old Goodson-Todman game shows, IGAS is probably the most interesting now with respect to "how times have changed". There were many shows over the years that highlighted new technology and cultural trends, and I love seeing these from our half-century perspective.
