Some of the show's stunts came off pretty much as planned. But some of the funniest bits happened when things didn't quite go according to the script. Like the cow who pooped on center stage. Or Poor Jack Moseley, who almost had a coronary as he exploded the inner tube of a tire with his own breath on the January 14, 1959 episode.
Jack's lung-ripping efforts extended over two segments of the show. Guest Andy Griffith came out and watched, though he never got to do his own secret. Jack finally exploded the inner tube and fell onto the floor in complete exhaustion. But he managed to get back up and received a nice (and maybe relieved) round of applause.
There was a bit of time left after Jack finished his heavy breathing. So host Garry Moore had to vamp a little. He thanked Eydie Gorme for her guest panelist appearance and Andy Griffith for passing up his own secret to give Jack more time. The IGAS episode guide says Eydie actually guessed one of the secrets in the show. But nobody guessed what Jack was going to do, though everybody seemed to enjoy his inner tube exploits as they happened.
