Trivia
The telecast that aired live on February 9, 1956, with Lucille Ball as a guest panelist, featured a 96-year-old contestant who was the last surviving witness to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Garry Moore introduced this senior citizen, Samuel Seymour, by saying he hailed from Maryland. When Seymour died two months later on the anniversary of the assassination, newspapers said he was a longtime resident of Arlington, Virginia. Whatever the truth of his residence, his secret was uncovered by Jayne Meadows. After she uncovered it, Moore explained to her, the other panelists and viewers that when John Wilkes Booth jumped down from the presidential box at Fords Theatre immediately after shooting Lincoln, five-year-old Seymour witnessed only that jump without knowing that any shots had been fired. The audience's laughter in reaction to the play muffled the sound of the gunshots for many people. The child felt sorry for the man who obviously had injured himself jumping from the presidential box to the stage. Booth indeed injured his leg and sought medical treatment before his capture.

Besides whatever cash each contestant won, for several years the adult contestants also received a carton of Winston cigarettes. Winston was the show's sponsor.

On a 1965 broadcast, the panel from To Tell the Truth (1956) (Tom Poston, Peggy Cass, Orson Bean and Kitty Carlisle) replaced the regular panel of Bill Cullen, Betsy Palmer, Henry Morgan and Bess Myerson on what was known as "The Night of the Big Switch". Coincidentally, Carlisle and Bean had been both regular panelists on the show several years earlier.
