Now that was a delight seeing Ossie Davis among that panel.
Kudos to the contestants in all 3 games to split up the votes the way that they did. It was great having Ossie Davis on the panel.
I so love the good naturedness (is that a word?) of this show.
Norris McWhirter and his brother Ross were the longtime editors of the Guinness Book Of Records.
Although Guinness is a brewery, they're better known for world records than their beer.
In game #3 contestant 2 received the 'handsome' vote from Kitty. I bet his friends and family didn't let him live that down for some time. 😂
Ossie Davis has a beautiful voice!
I love all the classic shows , keep uploading please x)
Thank you chris hanson. I always check the correct contestants before watching.
I always remember Ossie as Portifoy from Night Gallery (& later Portifoy the butler from Ghostbusters) & (when i was little, my dad would yell "PORTIFOY!" when he wanted me haha)
Gravydog316 cute
The only show I know Ozie Davis from is "Promised Land." I didn't know he played on anything else!
I like Ossie Davis's appearance. His voice, his pronunciation of "3" So few black celebrities on TV game shows in 1963, or commercials or news...practically zero. But with the Civil Rights Movement, things were starting to change, if slowly.
I also noted his pronunciation of "3!" And there was a moment in game 3 in which Kitty reached lover and put her hand on his arm as a show of affection. In 1964 that could still raise eyebrows in some corners.
Jon Vater true but remember this was Manhattan (NYC) so it was a liberally progressive area -- rest assured nationally it was an issue the Broadcast knew they would need to face.
I've noticed that Ella Fitzgerald pronounced words beginning with "thr" the same way.
I know Bud didn't mean anything by it, but I winced when he called Ossie Davis boy.
Played that back myself thought I must have misheard him.
I don't know what he meant but he doesn't call any one else "boy", and the use of the word was typical of white people toward black men. I was alive at the time of this broadcast and that is how it was. These days no one that I know would use the term "boy" with any adult male as a part of normal speech.
I too was surprise; but as was mentioned earlier in these comments it wasn't something that was done with any other adult males So although it might have been said without malice it should have been removed in editing (obviously recorded for future use).
A true fucking racist
@@TruckTaxiMoveIt Actually I have heard Bud call other adult males on this program 'boy' before. He didn't do it only to Ossie Davis.
I LOVE Ossie Davis. See him in old Car 54, Where Are You? episodes. First time black people were given DECENT roles in regular scheduled TV programs.
Chester Barrett is a true hero.
Ossie Davie - the man behind Purlie Victorious :) Too bad GT couldn't find more work for him or his lovely wife on TTTT or WML. They both would have been great. I assume that many southern cbs affiliates chose not to run this one.
Prove it.
It would have been great to see a diverse panel on game shows in those days.
That "smelliest substance' discussed by the Guinness man, methyl mercaptan, is used for many things such as in making plastics. The smell may be familiar to many of us: it is added to natural gas (which is otherwise odorless) so its smell will alert us to a gas leak.
Its also "bad breath" smell haha (see? I learned something in school haha)
yes, the ossie davis who later became a big fixure on many spike lee movies until his death in 2004.
My thought exactly.
Contestant number 3 in round one gave the most convincing performance I’ve ever seen on the show!
Did anyone else notice that Bud Collier at the end of his conversation with Ossie Davis referred to him as "boy"? I believe Mr. Davis noticed that, there seemed to be a change in his response back. I know it was the sign of the times but this ignorance of change had to change, I wonder if the panel or Bud Collier realized this after the show.
McWhirter was a household name this side of the pond, a regular on a show called record breakers where people would try to get in to the Guinness Book of Records on air. Interesting fact that his twin brother Ross McWhirter was assassinated by the IRA.
WOW! This was REALLY surprising to me! I never DREAMED they would have a black man on the panel
They had a few on What's My Line. So they would obviously have them on TTTT as times changed.
Ossie was great in Grumpy Old Men
Wow. As I'm watching this video I learned that Lee Holley died in a plane crash just a month ago.
oh no!! :(
RIP
I knew it was #2 as soon as they showed the picture of "Pony Tail" with the artist's name. NO woman writes like that.....
Fastest horse race mile and a half - this was before Secretariat 😀 - but he broke Gallant Man's record that occurred in June 1957
Peggy Cass seems to say "thank you" after just about every reply from a panelist. It slows her down in asking questions, plus it's just not necessary to say all the time. I find it strange that she does this because she didn't do that in the syndicated version that Garry Moore hosted, which is the one that I grew up watching.
I’ve seen her do it in any version. Sometimes she is annoying as Polly when can’t make up her mind to choose the correct person. I don’t think Polly and Peggy are on the same panel.
What he meant was “boy do you ever deserve it”. Damn, everything is not racist.
Watch it again, this time open your ears.......🇨🇦
He often said, boy you deserve it to people. The people objecting obviously don't know Bud.
All he while watching this show never once has Bud Collier made reference of this sort to a white man. And I'm a white person who grew up in this time. It was a southern term towards men of color and it was meant to be derogatory.
Ossie Davis was a credit to his gender, race, religion, country and humanity.
How about Tom Poston? was he a 'credit' to anything?
His race was human.
@@HansDelbruck53 - you gotta love the way "Truck Taxi" tries to disguise the ole 19th Century archaic "credit to his race" comment by surrounding it with 'gender, religion, country, and humanity' and hoping no one will notice it's the same lame comment; Its like giving an old raggedy car a paint job.
@@waldolydecker8118 At least cars and race go together.
I really like it when the votes ate split between all three.
Always wanted to see the Guiness book man.
they are using Google.
I guess things have changed. Bud called Mr. Davis "boy."
He didn’t. I think Bud Collyer used boy as an exclamations such as “boy, that was a good Winston cigarette.”
1:25 "Continued success to you boy you deserve it".Ozzy Davis was 46 years old at the time, but not as old as Dooley Wilson who was 56 in Casablanca. I knew Bud Collyer was a McCarthyite, but this shows he's also an old school racist. But for all we know this was discussed beforehand among CBS producers "Bud slip in 'boy' in a friendly way so as not to alienate our Southern affiliates".
I couldn't believe it when I heard it too.
Could it have been "Continued success to you,. Boy, you deserve it!"?
@@petermack2825…. Yes! Bud Collyer was not just a great TV host but he also provided the voice of Superman and Clark Kent for the radio series. He was also a religious man and I believe a good man. I know that everyone else is mishearing what Bud Collyer said. I know that Bud Collyer used boy as an exclamation as in “boy, you deserve it.”
Lol... "You'll find a carton of Winstons waiting for you as you leave." They might well have received a glass of arsenic to drink instead... at least that would have been quicker.
Nooooo. Winstons taste good like a cigarette should!
Seems to me the police should have been investigating him for hanging around teenage girls!
Kitty is the rudest. She’s the only one that keeps on talking when he dings the bell.
Kitty Carlisle was the most gracious and insightful and elegant guest panelist on any tv show, even she out distances Arlene Francis. And so what if she keeps talking, sometimes the contestant does answer her question. You leave Kitty alone!
Man #1 in Game #1
Man #2 in Game #2
Man #3 in Game #3
Have been watching episodes in sequence. Recently discovered your input. Now I find out ahead of show who is TTT and it makes it more fun. Thank you.😊
@@Coastie1081 You are welcome.
Quite racist of Bud Collyer to call Ossie Davis Boy. Shame on him and on CBS for allowing him to utter such a bigoted remark.
Agree 💯
The smelliest substance was Bud Collier, when he used the word 'boy' towards Ozzie Davis, even at that time a great actor, man and activist. The year was 1963. That derrogatory term was well known at that time. SHAME on you.
You hear what you want to hear. I heard Bud Collyer say “boy, you deserve it,” as in an exclamation that we say, oh boy! or”Boy, did I have a good Thanksgiving 2023.”
@@Jasper7182009 I totally agree with you. Definately not said on purpose. And there was not much of a consciousness about such things then. I only hope he knew his faux pas and maybe said "Gee, Ozzie, I sure as heck didn't mean that like it sounded."
1:24 "Continued success to you boy"????
@@msdjones30 Bud has called other adult white males on this show 'boy' also. So please watch more episodes and pay attention to them before you go spouting off statements that are truly only opinion.
@@reno1uest I'm not watching shit. Keep defending this bullshit
hey he not tell him to shine shoes !
😂😁
@@msdjones30 It's not always bullshit and more of the people who cry racism are usually more racist than the others. I was just offering empirical evidence, which I understand can be anathema to a professional victim.
