I’ve been watching this show for a LOOOONG TIME. I’ve NEVER been surprised more than when he revealed Cy’s name ;o.

Same here. Cy Young even more than a century later, stands tall and alone among pitchers.
Watching these videos is like a clean breath of fresh air compared to the drivel on today.

Abdullah Alsadoon I don’t even care if this was a slight to the times, it killed me thank you. 🤣
Art Carney was an amazing performer.
Thanks, Gary, for these extra chances to enjoy Fred Allen!
I bet Bill Cullen was beside himself for the rest of his life for taking this night off and missing Cy Young! Bill was a huge baseball fan and he probably would have gotten the first two hall of famers right away.
Fred Allen died in 1956 when I was just a kid..And I'm now just appreciating him..I've heard the name growing up, But never put a face to it..

if there was a game show panel hall of fame fred allen would be a headliner for sure
My uncle was nicknamed Cy after Cy Young as he was a pitcher in school. "Glad to be here, folks!" I also love seeing Fred Allen on this. I hadn't seen much of him before watching "What's My Line" and wish I could see more.
Whenever I watch these very old, now, TV shows.......afterwards I always want to visit the cemetery.
Jimmie Foxx was one of the greatest sluggers in baseball history. Denton True Young won 511 games in his career. In today's game, there might never be another 300 game-winner among pitchers starting their career so that should tell you how beyond reach his record is. It is the one baseball record that will never ever be broken. Of course, the award for the best pitchers in the American and National league win the Cy Young award as being the best pitchers during the season. As a baseball fan for over 60 years, this video was fantastic to watch. Thanks for posting it.
Fred Allen was a real straight man. Loved his humor and sad he died of a heart attack walking home after a filming of ‘What’s my line’ way before my time but love these shows. As for the carton of cigarettes, even the kids got them to give to their parents.
I love watching these old black and white episodes of IVGAS. There has been many interesting contestants. I don't know how they were able to guess many of the secrets. Between Mr Young and the gentleman who was present when John Wilks Booth shot Lincoln. And the toddler who ate his brothers bug collection for a school project. And my favorite panelist was Betsy Palmer, and I liked Jane Meadows a awful lot too.
Cy Young died at age 88 in November 1955, the same year as this show. Some of his records still stand after a Century !!

No one will *ever* again get anywhere near 511 career wins. The typical Hall of Fame plateau used to be 300 -- but in the age of 7-inning starters even 300 wins is now tough to reach.

And now with wins for a starting pitcher being devalued as a statistic just like batting averages, pitchers are less likely to even reach 200 wins for a career due to how they are used. There are only 2 active pitchers (I don't consider Bartolo Colon active) in this shortened 2020 season with 200+ wins and neither one of them has a shot at getting anywhere close to 300 due to their ages. There is no way anyone will reach 300 again, when even getting to 200 seems almost impossible for most due to how the game has changed.

He should have left that carton of Winston’s behind!
My, how times have changed! Can you IMAGINE giving out cartons of Winstons as "parting gifts" today?? And I'm an "evil" smoker for the past 45 years ...... I was startled.
This is a great episode, because they're giving Henry Morgan a chance to showcase the same style of comedy that he used on his old radio shows.
I love watching these old shows even though it's way before my time. There's so much history here, love Cy Young and the Hall of Famers.

Im 29 years old but ive always been an old soul, the 50s dont even seem that old to me. I love learning what my parents, grand parents, etc experienced, read, watched or listened to.

I'm proud of you! One of the few young people getting a taste of history, instead of watching some guy in Norway, make a ham and cheese sandwich! That'll probably yield some dividends, down the road.
Cy Young. Amazing!
Wow! Cy Young!
Wow .. Dazzy Vance, Jimmie Foxx and Cy Young. I'd love to have a baseball signed by all three.
Eighty bucks and a carton of Winstons. I'd love to have been backstage to hear Fred Allen's crack about his prizes for playing.
I forgot to write that is was great seeing Art Carney and Steve Allen was a lucky man being with Jayne Meadows.
Man, Ive never seen Henry so animated except when his mom surprised him.
Ha ha...Faye says "longest pitch...no THAT can't be right!" lol....And she got it right!....I bet she and Skitch had a great night! ; )
I'm 77 & watched "I've Got A Secret", religiously in 1955! (I even met Henry Morgan in 1967 & was in the audience of Bill Cullen's show "The Price is Right" in 1962!) However, I believe something is wrong with the date of this show, i.e. since "The Honeymooners" was only on one season, Sept. 1955 to June 1956, how could Art Carney have already won an "Emmy" on Apr. 13th,1955, when this show aired? p.s. Only the 'vignettes were on then!
I think Art recognized Cy and said pitcher but got a signal from the show to not ruin it and threw in the word rookie to keep the fun going

Yeah, that's very probable.
Wow1 Art Carney, Fred Allen and three baseball Hall of Famers on the same show along with their usual assemblage of talent! The baseball players were the heroes of the youth of the men involved, (apparently, the two women were not baseball fans - too bad Larraine Day wasn't on the panel). The fact that these shows are no 7 decades old means that the older people who appear on them may have bene prominent when the 20th century began and will have memories of the 19th century. You-Tube is a real time machine!
Art Carney looks like a different person when in a suit
Cy Young was 88 years old and died 6 months later. He was the G.O.A.T in MLB!
Because there must be someone out there like me who needs to know this. The pennant race that year came down to the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Yankees. The Dodgers won. It was their only pennant win while located in Brooklyn.
12:36 is worth the watch alone.
Wow I'm not even a baseball fan but Sigh Young - wow
Cy Young died that November 1955
15:04 - "He's 88 years old and he still works for a living." - Applause. Well, times have changed indeed.
I knew Jimmie Foxx right away,he was the greatest power hitter, better than Joe DiMaggio.

No-tho' at 88 he can be forgiven. He did say "based on last year", for indeed the Cleveland Indians and New York Giants had won their pennants in 1954. In this year of 1955 the New York Yankees won the American League, and Brooklyn Dodgers won the National. Cleveland was 2nd-the New York Giants third...
Cy died later that same year.
haha they gave cartons of cigarettes to them as conc- ilation prize

Don't worry. It wasn't funny. Henry's Indian joke was much better.
Its real irony in the giving away of cartons of cigarettes that Gary Moore died of throat cancer.
$80 bucks and 2 cartons of Marbolo cigarettes! Wow those were the times!
GIve a guy 88yo a carton of Cigs!!!!!!!!! The good old days(?) *He died later that year, by the way.
When cigarettes sponsored programming….
Winston cigarettes killed millions. Winston tastes bad like a cigarette shad...we used to sing that
