* Bishop Fulton J. Sheen was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T74qnT7WFZw the mystery guest]] on the 21 October 1956 episode, and was guessed after a few minutes, but Daly flips over all the cards to give him the full fifty dollars anyway, which Bishop Sheen requests that he send to three-hundred leper colonies. Daly is not only pleased to do so, but promises that they'll "add some more to it."[[note]]The "some more" would have been the standard appearance fee paid to mystery guests - $500, a not-insignificant sum in 1956.[[/note]]
