Tue, Mar 5, 1957
Special Celebrity Relatives/Music show, with every contestant performing before each game. Garry encouraged the panel to pay close attention to each contestant's performance, because doing so was the key to uncovering the clues behind each contestant's secret. The contestants were all relatives of people in Show Business. Betsy Palmer filled in for Faye Emerson. Sponsored by Winston Cigarettes. This episode began with Garry listing off the first winner of The $64,000 Question (Richard McCutcheon on September 13, 1955), the record-breaking $143,000 win on Twenty-One (Charles Van Doren on February 18, 1957), and making his entrance to humorously announce this shows' grand prize of $80. Bill and Betsy passed in Game 1, but Jayne successfully guessed that Melodye Condos (Miss A) of New York City, New York (sang A Smile Is Something Special) was Martha Raye's daughter. The panel was stumped in Game 2 by Bill Marx (Mr. B, performed a piano piece he composed and arranged called Petit Chanson) of New York City, New York, who was Harpo Marx's son. Jayne, Bill, and Betsy disqualified themselves in Game 3, and the panel was stumped by Fred Kelly (Mr. C, did a tap dance entering from the studio audience), who was Gene Kelly's brother. Betsy successfully guessed in Game 4 that Oscar-winner Heinz Roemheld (Mr. D, performed the theme from Ruby Gentry on piano) was Bill's father-in-law.
