  • Ricky Gervais relative?

  • The panel was too obsessed with his size!

  • that is some AMAZING blackboard writing.

  • I love how at the end John wraps his arms around his coat as if protecting himself.

  • Hmmm... Don't Mss. Kilgallen and Francis usually sit in opposite of what they do in this segment? Ms. Francis at the end, and Ms. Kilgallen in the middle?

  • I like how at 3:24 Daly tries to throw four-eyes off.

  • Gil Fates in his book about What's My Line discussed this contestant at length concerning his appearance on "I've Got a Secret" in which he not only picked the pocket of a stooge planted in the audience but the two of them on live TV plugged a number of products. Fates should known what to expect based on the guy's performance where he manages to insert an elegant plug for perfume into his story.
