As noted by soulierinvestments, impostor #1 in the last round was Sasha Burland, composer of the WML theme song used from 1957 on!
To Tell the Truth (CBS) I hum that theme song almost every time I hear it. :-)
I thought he looked familiar. He was a contestant on What's My Line for that reason.
Correct name is Harold Karr (1921-1968).
I thought no. 3 was the composer of Ethel Mermans show. He just seemed knowledgeable about dentistry and music. 😊
Happy Hunting.
In the first panel, impostor # 2 seemed unusually well informed about Salt Lake City, locations of sites within the area, etc. almost as if he was ready for each question. This leads me to believe that questioners are given a list of possible questions they may ask if they choose to. The impostors, of course, are well briefed. But it appears that they know what specific questions the panel may ask.
Yes I was just going to comment that the act of opening those sealed affidavits always seems disingenuous on the part of the "cross-examiners", since they are always immediately ready with specific questions for each group of challengers, no matter what the story..

Thank you so much for posting these wonderful episodes!
I love the show, although I find Polly Bergen somewhat annoying (even though I understand I'm in the minority... most people find her adorable and charming).
I agree with you, Doctor, Not so much in this episode, but I've watched many of these TTTT videos and her proclivity to vote say, for # 1 and then say "but I really think it's # 3" is annoying. I think she thinks she's being funny, but it gets old, week after week.
FYI The composer's name is Harold Karr, with a "K", not a "C" This was verified via the LP cover.
Also, it was "Happy Hunting", not "Happy Hunter".
With Marvin, contestant #2 was crushing it with believable answers, but I think of community service-oriented elders as younger and more socially awkward, so I went with #1.
Game three contestant 1 -- is he not that man who wrote the 1957 theme for "What's My Line?"
I actually won! I went with number 2 as did all the rest, until number one said who the founder of the Mormon Church was. I am most certainly not supporting the Mormon Church or Joseph Smith, but I knew he was right about it, so at the point, I changed my vote (now I'm glad I did lol)
Moron church?
I figured it was him when he didn't fall for the trick question of what he smoked.
betty furness...as in from wnbc--tv's "linstrom/tolliver early edition" news program during the 1970s?
I like to pause the video, Google the contestant's name, and do an image search before the questioning starts. That way I know ahead of time who the real one is. It's just more fun for me to see how well the other 2 to lie to the panel. In this episode, that only worked with the woman marine. But sometimes, if they're famous enough, I come up with all 3.
Hmm...I do the opposite. I like to play along and see if I can guess the correct person, then do a Google search to find out more about them.
@@StephenBurrus4444 That's what I do also, but I'm so horrible at guessing correctly that I'm tempted to do as the OP does. Maybe not though. I'm still less than half way through the entire series.
0:08 Must have had stage fright, especially since this is live television.
Yeah, Game 1 was tough.
Game 2 was easy enough for me. #3 answered the most questions correctly.
***** I guessed No.3 as well, but not because of her answers, rather her attitude. She was the only one who seemed relaxed about the whole thing and besides, she didn't try to either look or act, in particular, very "military", perhaps because she didn't feel she had to. ;)
The first guy in the first group was a deer in the headlights. They had to repeat "What is your name?" to get him to respond.
For Game 3, I thought it would be #2. #3 answered some questions incorrectly, and didn't seem to know the name of Ethel Merman's daughter. #2 did.
***** #1 looked like a dentist and a composer as well.
Polly Bergen was gorgeous. She was however, not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Did the imposters do a lot of studying on their own, or receive a coaching session from the real contestants? #2 in the first round seemed to have all the correct answers, and even if some were lies, they were certainly put forth rather convincingly and without hesitation..
LOA1955 I'm so curious about this myself, but I haven't found a bit of info on it yet. I have to assume that the impostors were coached specifically by the staff (I vaguely recall reading that there was one guy on staff whose job this was specifically). I'm always impressed at the percentage of impostors that are convincing enough to create total confusion.
LOA1955 On one episode that I have seen on U-Tube, a panelist either says or rights that they are going to vote for the man who coached the imposters. sorry, I can't remember which it was ...I'm older, and used to watch these growing up. I don't remember Polly Bergen, but remember Tom, Peggy, and Kitty...
LOA1955 writes, not rights...I am older!
Hoganson is the American spelling of the Danish/Norwegian Haagensen, or Swedish Håkansson.
***** That's true. :)
Johan Bengtsson And according to my research (I probably already stated this, but I'll state it again anyways): Most American immigrants from Scandinavia have resided in Minnesota.
***** Also true. I don't know why they decided to settle down in Minnesota. I have read that they found the nature very much similar to back home in old Sweden.
The panel did not have a good episode. #2 in game 1 was outstanding. He was just ripping off the answers with no hesitation thus getting all 4 votes. It is kind of fun to play along with the panel, the studio audience, and the television viewers at home to try to guess who is who. Thanks for the video.
Is it wrong for me to have a deep crush on Polly Bergen 63+ years on?
Not at all. Heck, I'm still hung up on Clara Bow and Margaret Sullavan...!
She was gorgeous. Annoying at times but you are not wrong to have a crush on her. At all.
Man #1 in Game #1
Lady #3 in Game #2
