This episode aired on the most memorable day of my childhood. This was the summer when Maris and Mantle were chasing Babe Ruth's home run record, and I was a 10 year old boy consumed by baseball. On this day, my father took me to Cleveland to see a double header between the Indians and the Yankees. In the first game, Mantle hit a 3 run homer in the first inning, his 46th of the year. Two innings later, Maris hit his 49th, a 2 run shot. The memory of those home runs, and the wonderful time I had with my father, will always remain with me.
What a rare treat to see Jacques Piccard, a pioneer in his field! Thank you so much for airing this episode!!! Too bad Arlene gave it away,but she just couldn't help herself🤣 It was also fantastic to learn of the future plans. 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
One day I was going into the main entrance of Rockefeller Center to visit my friend who worked as a waitress in one of the restaurants, Mitch Miller was on his way out. I stopped to talk to him. At the time I was in the NYC All-City Orchestra as a trumpeter. He was really sweet, and informative. He was very short too, lol. I told him how much I loved his show.
If you watch these shows in binges, it's easier to remember people's lines. This is at least the 3rd time they had a lady diver on horseback. Also numerous lady judges and dog catchers. Always fun stuff. :)
The lady who did the stunt with horses (Ann Miles) was also a former actress, stuntwoman, Playboy bunny, Broadway hairstylist, and model. She also performed stunts on the hidden-camera series Candid Camera, and was credited as a hairstylist in 1984 film called Union City. I’d say she led a full life.
Mitch Miller was such a great contestant. I had the great pleasure to meet and work with him once and he was always a gentleman and gifted at his craft (originally a professional trombone player)!
If you ever get the opportunity to hear Mitch Miller's sing-along version of John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance," you must. Especially in the light of Miller's anti-rock stance at Columbia for many years.

An ACTUAL Captain Picard!
Bennett and Joey, each in their own way, were really delivering some great wisecracks in this episode!
Arlene - If you're going to disqualify yourself, don't hand out clues

Jacques Picard; Mitch Miller are both amazing men in their field - unbelievable achievements

"Dives into tank on horseback"... we've had that weird occupation a few times before...
So gracious the way Mitch Miller kissed the ladies hands as he was leaving. Quite the gentleman! 🥰
What a great show!
This show was pre-recorded on Sunday, 4 June 1961. Joey Bishop was also the guest panelist for that evening's live episode.
John gave a hilarious deadpan look at the camera after Bennett's joke at
I have a friend who loves bad jokes. I will have to share Bennett's story with him. He'll love it!
I always liked Mitch Miller.His singers had such awesome harmony...love their singing of Xmas songs.Joey Bishop was kinda cute.
This was a great line up of guests.
I barely remember the Mitch Miller show as a small child in the early 1960s.
