Other poster: Andy Griffith was on IGAS on 10/1/62.
Andy Griffith actually made three I've Got a Secret appearances. It's kind of a long story.
Griffith's first appearance was the most famous one, which I already discussed on this thread. Griffith was scheduled on 1/14/59 as the special guest, but he never got to do his segment. That's because Jack Moseley (hilariously) took too long to blow up that stubborn inner tube. So Andy just came onto the stage in the middle of Jack's stunt and watched with everybody else until Jack finally exploded the tube.
Griffith returned on 3/11/59 with his planned segment. He again appeared on IGAS on 4/12/61 with another stunt. Information on all these appearances is available (with YouTube links) at Richard Carson's superb IGAS episode guide, which is a must-see for fans of the show.
I'm a little doubtful about that IMDb appearance on 10/1/62. It's possible Griffith was on the show that week, but Richard Carson lists no information for the week. And if he doesn't have the information, it probably doesn't exist.
Well, now I'm not so sure. This interesting article about a gadget called the Neurophone indicates that Andy Griffith might have appeared on the 10/1/62 episode in a stunt using the gadget. So who knows?
