WML Project: Olympians

1/20/57 Bob Richards. Is another non-mystery guest, although his status as an Olympic pole vaulting champion is not immediately acknowledged. But they have to guess what else he does.Bob is the first guest.


I remember Bob appearing on TV as a fitness expert, not unlike Jack Lalanne and doing Wheaties commericals.

7/16/57 Bobby Morrow, who won the 100 meters, the 200 meters and 400 meter really in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, appeared on TTT. It’s interesting that he wouldn’t have been recognized. It shows how little recognition Olympic champions got in those days compared to now.


He's the first contestant.
