I've Got A Secret - Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz (2/4)

I've Got A Secret was an early celebrity game show in which the celebrity panel had to figure out the guest's secret by asking questions from which clues were derived. The program was aired by CBS from 1952 to 1967.

This show features Mr. Samuel J. Seymour who was ninety-six years old at the time the show aired. Mr. Seymour was the last living person to have been present at the Lincoln assassination. He was five years old when he witnessed John Wilks Booth leap from the balcony of Ford's Theatre, on April 14th, 1865, after shooting President Lincoln. Mr. Seymour died two months after the show's airing, on April 14th, 1956, ninety-one years to the day of Lincoln's assassination.

Jayne Meadows, with some preparation by radio and television personality Bill Cullen, seems to be particularly bright and adept at the game. The interaction between Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz is very funny. The two played off one another very well.

@ 2:11 Garry says "I want you to have this carton of Winstons."

No wonder none of the people in the show (except Jayne Meadows) are still alive!

Wow that sucks about the older man falling. That bump is so huge i thought it was a facial defect. Human beings are so frail, we realize when we're around babies and forget about that until we're old (I'm 24)...Anyway thats crazy he saw Lincoln get shot. He must have had a pretty good memory about it for a long time since he was 5 when it happened..

I grew up in Olean and know the Daystom factory well. The building still stands on Franklin Street but has long been used for other purposes.
