Walt Disney also appeared on the show. It's a fun segment. Make sure and see at 4:52 when they start talking about new additions to Disneyland:


The great Jack Benny appeared on the show. Classic deadpan humor:


Finally, here is legendary chicken fryer Colonel Harlan Sanders. He was not a mystery guest and the panel is not able to figure out who he is. Shortly after he became a household name:
