Wally Cox is the guest and Col. Harland Sanders, founder of "Kentucky Fried Chicken - KFC" as a contestant on this Eps hosted by Garry Moore with the panel - Bill Cullen,Henry Morgan, Betsy Palmer and Bess Myerson
Colonel Sanders sold the business in 1964 for $2 million and continued to collect a salary for his work as the face of the brand. The company went public two years later and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange by 1969. In 1971, Heublein Inc. acquired KFC for $285 million.Today, the KFC brand is worth roughly $8.5 billion and sees $26.2 billion in sales as one of the world's top 100 most valuable brands
on another episode of ‘I’ve got a secret”, i wrote - ‘Where’s Mr. Peepers’? and lo and behold here he is!! and he as really funny and developed a really cute character for his comic style :) 😋 this show is bringing back people i either forgot about or just have not thought for a long time. :} 🎭 thanks so much. “you’re the tops.”
no, you have that backwards. His 2million check was worth two-million. However as inflation has eroded the purchasing power (value) of each 1964 dollar by 89%, a person in 2020 would need $16.7 million modern dollars to match the same purchase power of the Col.'s 2million.
@@maxdecphoenix Your playing semantics. I must have written my comment late a night. Of course I meant to say "equal to" instead of "worth". And people know what I meant.
This video is so special. Col. Sanders' franchises are still around today and his face is still being seen. I wonder if he had any ideas his business would be THIS successful. Way to go, Colonel.
Bill Cullen , a great game show host did not make it to 74 years old . The age of Col. Sanders at that time . Mr. Cullen was also great as a panelist on IGAS .
That little boy has a Mickey Mantle card!! My sin collected baseball cards when he was younger (he’s 44) and my husband bought a Mickey card quite a few years ago - I never knew what he paid for it (I’m glad!!!) but it was more than the 10cents or so it sold for when this program aired! I sure hope this little guy kept his collection - probably would buy a house today😄😄😄. And yes, our son still has his while collection!!!
My paternal Grandfather passed away in 1966 at age 78 -he had already retired about 1950 when he was 62 (rules different back then). My paternal grandmother had never worked and she was 67 at that time! I’m telling this story because she received Grandpa’s social security check for $125.00 to live on till she passed away in 1974 age 76. Can any of you imagine living off that amount of money??? SS is still not really giving many retired people enough to actually live on -
@@elliotpage6738 Thanks for the explanation. I tend to forget that many of the RU-vid presentations of B&W episodes of TV shows from 1950's and early 1960's are kinescopes. Kinescopes typically have a crude, grainy and distorted appearance.
Because this was 1964 and KFC was only just getting started as a national brand about this time. Sanders' face was on the buckets but it wasn't an everyday name yet.
