* Circa late 1950s: A contestant is introduced as "Mr. D", an Academy Award-winning composer. His secret: "I'm Bill Cullen's father-in-law" (Heinz Roemheld, whose daughters Ann and Mary Lou married Cullen and Jack Narz respectively). Of course, Cullen recognized him immediately, but instead of disqualifying himself he took a different line of questionning:
-->'''Bill Cullen:''' Do you think this person you're related to should be in the movies?\\
'''Garry Moore:''' Matters of speculation are not to be upheld on this program.\\
'''Bill Cullen:''' I understand you, having written all those songs, sir... undoubtedly, you are an ASCAP member, is that so?\\
'''"Mr. D":''' Yes.\\
'''Bill Cullen:''' And ASCAP does have a situation whereby they pay their full-rated members an amount of money for every performance of a tune like "Ruby", which is very popular.\\
'''"Mr. D":''' Yes.\\
'''Bill Cullen:''' I just wonderded if, uh... this isn't even nice to bring up, but I'm wondering if this is transferable. Let's assume you wanted to help a poor relative, this would be possible... this could be collateral for a mortgage, is that right?\\
'''Garry Moore:''' It would be possible... I don't think he has it in mind.\\
'''Bill Cullen:''' Well, it sure stumps me.
