I love the old shows but THROWING sand ALL OVER HE STUDIO??!!! All over the audio and video crew and equipment?? (unless the equipment were just props for this episode?) It's surprising to me that they would do that, otherwise!
Wow, Faye really got right in there in her gown, etc lol! Not afraid to get dirty; Bill, on the other hand did not look like he wanted one grain of sand on him!
@moontheloon5 I don’t think it was an indication that Bill Cullen did not want to participate but rather that he could participate in a limited basis. Notice he is holding onto the physical panel to keep his balance… That is due to his limbs being crippled by polio.
Really cringed when Faye started throwing sand. I put my brother in the hospital for a week when we were 5-6 after i chucked a handful of sand into his face and a bunch got in his eyes. All in good fun, but could have ended badly for someone.
What happened to your brother is extremely unusual, you don't have to have an irrational deathly fear of a little sand. Yours was probably sand from a sandbox that a cat's been pissing in for weeks.
8:27 --- I'm all but sure that it was for the purpose of entertainment... Nevertheless, she DID insinuate that (when she was a little girl at the beach) she poured sand over her uncle while he was naked. Wow! 'Talk about a joke that wouldn't fly today!
Don Mc Neill , the guest host was a radio vetaran . Dig that voice of his ! He hosted The Breakfast Club radio program from Chicago for over 35 years , from 1933 to 1968 . This was longer than Carson hosted The Tonight Show or Barker hosted The Price Is Right on television . His programs were broadcast by the NBC Blue and its successor the ABC radio networks . He was considered at one time a midwest competitor to morning radio heavywright Arthur Godfrey .en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_McNeill_(radio_presenter)#:~:text=From-,Wikipedia,-%2C%20the%20free%20encyclopedia
Reply to my own comment . I felt sorry for Mr Mc Neill and the sand stunt . They should waited for GM to return since he could handed impromto situations like that . Mc Neill did not give heed to the time limit with the program ending with the title card . To be fair his long time program was more sedate. Moore and later Johnny Carson were good at handling stunts and demonstartions and improvised material .
