A trio of celebrities – each representing either a home viewer or a member of the studio audience – played this weekday daytime guessing game about what other famous folk planned to say in clips, with correct answers netting $25 each.
The participants saw a clip of a celebrity being asked a question and then had to guess what the celebrity had responded. The highest score won prizes for the viewer/audience member as well as the cash.
The answers and their implications were the main appeal of the show. For example, when Robert Vaughn was asked, “What’s the quickest way for a woman to reach your heart?” he replied, “Adulation toward me and total silence.”
Robert Morse was asked, “What’s the best way to keep monogamy from being monotony?” and responded, “To be honest about it? Cheat.”
Other top names involved included Robert Culp, Jerry Lewis, Peter Falk, Sammy Davis Jr., Woody Allen, Vincent Price, James Mason, Lynn Redgrave, Hayley Mills, Eva Gabor, Senator Everett Dirksen, and even Dustin Hoffman in 1968.
The show also had some fun with celebrities involved in relationships. Joan Fontaine incorrectly guessed answers from her sister Olivia DeHaviland, with whom she had one of Hollywood’s most infamous feuds, and on one show, Eli Wallach had a hard time trying to come up with what his wife Anne Jackson had said.
