» » I've Got a Secret Episode dated 15 February 1961 (1952–1967)

Short summary

Includes a secret about Mrs. Smith's four children answering questions from the panel. Of her 13 children these four each have a twin. Includes a secret about a corrugated box manufacturer that sailed a "paper boat" from Washington D.C. To Jacksonville, FL. It was made of water-proofed cardboard with wood supports. Includes a "secret" with Lucille Ball trying to get the panelist to match the emotion in which she answers their questions.

Lucille Ball was then starring on Broadway in the new musical "Wildcat," her only Broadway credit. Moore tells Lucy that her secret will be to get the panel to imitate her. The word "EXCITED" appears on the screen to prompt Lucy. While Betsy Palmer is talking, the word turns to "HAPPY" and Lucy laughs out loud continually. The questioning turns to Henry Morgan and the word turns to "DIGNIFIED" then to "SAD" - Lucy reacts accordingly. During Bess Myerson's turn the word is "NERVOUS". During Carson's turn, the word is "ROMANTIC" and then "TIPSY." They play out the whole game even though someone gets it early. Moore later confesses that he cheated in order not to spoil the fun.

The two sponsors were Bristol-Myers and Clairol.

In closing there is an extended filmed commercial for next week's sponsor, Winston Cigarettes.
