I'm going through episodes of classic TV Quiz shows on You-Tube. Phil Rizzuto fans might like this one where they have to guess which contestant is his child. (The gimmick is that they are actually all the children of famous fathers). This was done January 15, 1957, just after Phil's rather rough retirement but also after he had reconciled with the Yankees and been given a job in their broadcast booth, to begin the for the coming season. He would be in the Yankee's booth for the next 40 years.



Phil was also the 'mystery guest' in the first ever What's My Line back in 1950. (That's another Goodson-Todman show: I've got a Secret was another of their big hits)
 
Sadly, Scooter couldn't stay for the entire show as he left early to beat the traffic over the bridge.

When you're not the lead dog, the view never changes.
