Lord Malcolm Douglas-Hamilton’s first wife was a cousin of the Queen Mother.
Tom Poston strikes me as very well-traveled and intelligent. He mostly played hassled types on TV comedies.

He joined the United States Army Air Forces in 1941. Accepted to officer candidate school and then graduating from flight training, Poston served as a pilot in the European Theater in World War II; his aircraft dropped paratroopers for the Normandy invasion.[On one episode he Tom explains how he was in England when a v-1 rocket cut its engine guided in and exploded he was there.
Kitty reminds me so much of Arlene Francis.

It's amusing when she can't contain herself anymore and has to turn and ask Poston about the burlesque venues
8:16 learned a word to the way he answered : "sensitively"
Hamilton died in a plane crash four years later in Cameroon, they never found his son Niall or the other passenger that was on board with him.
#1 Libby Jones is the actress who played Mag Wildwood in Breakfast at Tiffany's. I noticed right away.

In the first segment, Don Ameche asked what difference would the odds be in Roulette, in Double Zero vs. Single Zero. Contestant #1, who was the gambling expert answered, "Well, it would be one extra number." That's not an accurate answer. Don is asking about ODDS. The odds of winning on any one number are reduced in a single zero game from 1/38 to 1/37. All other bets and payouts are reduced accordingly. The ODDS are better for the player in Single Zero by a few percentage points. Don then asked what the chances were of the shooter winning in craps. Contestant #1 said the shooter doesn't have any chance of winning. What??? Of course he has a chance. What kind of answers are those? Contestant #1, is supposed to tell the truth and those answers are just wrong.
finally, I got all three games!

Don , Tom, and I both know that the three gambling contestants were all ignorant about gambling.....Amazing!
#1, who is the gambling experts says that the dice thrower doesn't have any chance of winning. Simply not true!
Is Buddy's wearing a yamaka !!!!????
The first segment was a joke. The question "What are the odds in ...?" is just too ambiguous. They should have asked "What is the expected return of a pass bet in craps"? That question has an answer - about -1.4% The next question should be "What is the expected return of a don't pass bet in craps"? The answer is not "the same", but "just a tad better".

Don Ameche is really angry sounding when he questions.

I agree, he often seemed rather arrogant and aggressive in his interrogations, but I think that was a persona he put on for his acting carreer. He wasn't the largest man, but got cast in many intimidating/devious-type roles. Contrast this to the episode where he showed his happier, softer side because his daughters were present! kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y3WAqrZmlby8Yrg.html

@@lethaluks2942 I agree with you. I think he does whatever he can to inquire. Notice he rarely chit-chats during the game, and when a contestant doesn't answer quickly enough, he often moves along. I rather like his form of questioning.
Ask incoherent questions - get incoherent answers.

Well if the panel have to make up questions in such a short time I think they do a great job . I wouldn't have a clue what to ask for a lot of the professions .
Round 3 was easy to figure out; the first guy double talked his way through each question (repeating the question, playing for time); the second guy didn't know the star of movie which was based on this novel (which would be odd). Usually the imposters are prepped better. I also guessed 3 for 3 correctly on this episode.

True. The imposters in game three were terribly ill prepared.

I liked #3 the best & when he said he was "the magic clown" I knew that was why 😍
Terrible questions to the gambling group. No wonder the answers seemed so confusing.

I started watching this show about 5 or 6 months ago. It's my second favorite game show after "What's My Line?" But I had to give this one a thumbs down. I can't believe they encourage Gambling on this game show . . . and THEN they had the Burlesque dancer!

Calm down, everyone! I got this. Karen-I mean, Krista was just expressing her disappointment that a channel would dare to post a piece of history because it offends her conservative values. I'm sure that "thumbs down" she gave will make a huge difference. Just wait until she gets to the episodes where they feature a topless dancer, challengers of mixed gender! wearing leotards!! and children in makeup! Get ready for more thumbs down!!
Polly doing her incoherent schtick. Everyone looking frustrated. And what the hell is up with Bud’s hair again??

She takes herself very seriously. Not necessarily adding to the fun of the show. I love Tom Poston - especially his role in the 1980s sitcom "Newhart".
