John Daly wishes Mr. Gardner a happy birthday. The panel were off kilter this evening in that they were stumped in every round. The first contestant was a Missouri woman who designs bridges in her home state. The panel were getting nowhere, so John Daly flipped the cards and revealed the woman's profession. The second contestant was a Pennslyvania gentleman, who was the social director at a resort for honeymooners. Again, the panel were all at sea, and Mr. Daly called time, and the panelists were quite surprised at the contestant's profession. Mystery guest this evening was Portland Hoffa AKA Mrs. Fred Allen, whom Arlene Francis quickly identified. The final contestant was an Illinois woman and a jail matron. John Daly seemed to be in quite a rush this evening and revealed the woman's occupation. Written by johnmike1959 See less
