I used to have a teacher (who's an old lady now). when she was in college in tulsa she and two girlfriends were out on the highway and they had a flat. the guy who stopped and changed their tire for them was george gobel. they thanked him and he said, "that's ok, I have a daughter."

@bigred997 Bill Cullen was diagnosed with poliomyelitis during his childhood. (At that time, there was no vaccine).

So, in addition to taking away the stars for rating and the scores for comments, it looks like you can't delete your own comments. Way to go, youtube!

@63utuber hey, appreciate the 'my bad'

Hmm ... thinking of America in 1959, wouldn't that opening be a little controversial?

A few years after. This show is from April, 1961.

What a treat to see Marion Lorne. I love Aunt Clara, and its so rare to see anything else of her.

Was this before or after the scandals?
This probably aired in late 1959, as George appeared primarily to promote his "new" CBS Sunday night show that season [he alternated with Jack Benny at 10pm(et) Sunday nights for the same sponsor, Lever Brothers; George sold "Stripe toothpaste", Jack appeared on behalf of "Lux soap"]. Carol Burnett had just become a regular cast member of Garry's show, with support from Marion Lorne and Moore's announcer/foil, Durward Kirby...

Thanks for uploading.
Random Thoughts:
1. You can tell slightly that Bill Cullen has a limp and that's because he wore a brace that he hid from the camera.
2. You could tell that Carol was growing beyond just being a member of the troupe.
3. Most people think of George Gobel as a legendary standup comedian but he also had
a great singing voice and performed on Broadway.
