I have been trying to track down the I've Got a Secret episode which featured Woody singing to a poodle. The first guest with a secret that night was the father of a former classmate. I know that GSN holds the rights to I've Got a secret. Any idea if I could get a copy of a portion of that kinescope featuring that first contestant. David,

Great to stumble across your references to Woody Allen. I have been trying to track down the I’ve Got a Secret episode which featured Woody singing to a poodle.

His agenda aside -- and I don't think anyone could ever accuse Hendra of NOT having one -- I still think there is a lot of intelligent history and commentary, and that the book is worth reading.

Yeah, imagine Woody Allen, TV star! I enjoyed the history lesson - and the one-liners too. David - thanks for the piece. Yeah, imagine Woody Allen, TV star!

J. O'Rourke and a wholesale abuse of what might have been a useful term in "Boomer Humor," but for its wholesale abuse in this tome. At its peak, National Lampoon was probably the single greatest, and surely funniest, instance of satire this nation has ever seen. Little wonder they kvetched over NatLamp-lite as practiced by the fledgling SNL, which poached Michael O'Donoghue, Belushi, etc. from NatLamp's ranks. The definitive tale of its rise and the spectacular fall not all the Tim Mathesons and Gilbert Gottfrieds (!!) in the world could halt remains untold.
