When you get old, you get sentimental. And I've been enjoying a sentimental journey through the distant past with I've Got a Secret clips on YouTube. Fellow fan Richard Carson just uploaded another bunch of clips, including some great moments with Harpo Marx and Spike Jones.But my sentimental (of course) favorite is the 6/8/60 episode, the show's last effort in the Mansfield Theater. The following week Secret would move into new digs. But they departed the Mansfield in style.
While the panel was blindfolded and clueless, host Garry Moore and guest Anthony Perkins, of then-current Psycho fame, struck the set. Then they walked next door to an Italian restaurant with the entire stage crew for a going-away party.
Lots of laughs ensued as the panel never really caught on to what was happening, until Garry finally let them take off the masks. After staring at the now-empty stage for a few seconds, the panel joined the party next door. Garry offered a toast to the stage hands and thanks to the audience for Secret's first eight years.
It was a pretty good show, after all.
