MYSTERY GUEST: Tonight's long-lost episode marked the only "WML?" appearance of veteran character actress Zasu Pitts. At the time of this edition, Miss Pitts was appearing in the 1952 Western film "Denver and Rio Grande," which starred Edmond O'Brien. Her last film appearance would be in the all-star 1963 flick "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World," in which she played telephone operator "Gertie." As a side note, Mr. O'Brien was never on "WML?" in any capacity. - W-B (2008)

On June 19, 1952, another Goodson-Todman show will make its premiere. In his 1978 WML book, Gil Fates said that the idea for a show called "I've Got A Secret" was brought to Goodson-Todman by comedy writer Allan Sherman and his partner, Howard Merrill. The producers recognized it as a variation of "What's My Line?" and told the young pair they didn't want to imitate their own successful program. "You might as well," Sherman said, "because if you don't start copying your shows, someone else will." Goodson and Todman agreed, paid both men a royalty and named Sherman associate producer of the new venture. - Matt Ottinger (2004)

Per Gil Fates' handwritten logs, no kinescope of this episode exists. It was destroyed by CBS before Gil Fates noticed the destruction policy in 1952 and began saving the kinescopes. Only about 10 episodes exist from February 1950 to July 1952. - Suzanne (2004)
Panel: Dorothy Kilgallen, Bennett Cerf, Arlene Francis, Hal Block.
