    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In an interview, comedian Marty Ingels said that he appeared on the show while he was in the army, before he got into show business. He said that just before the show began, someone on the staff would come up to him and tell him what songs were going to be played, so he would know the answers. He was on for several episodes, but he knew he was going to be off the show when one day as he was about to go on, no one told him what the songs to be played were. Sure enough, when the show started, they played songs he had never heard of and therefore couldn't answer, so he was off the show.
