I thought about putting this over at Saturday Morning Archives under "You Know The Voice", but, nope. This has more to do with radio than cartoons.
The occasion for this 1964 episode of I've Got a Secret is less about Arthur Godfrey's 30th anniversary in radio, which was the focus, but rather, a celebration of radio's storied past. You'll meet the voices behind:
The Quiz Kids
The Green Hornet (Al Hodge, later of Captain Video)
The Lone Ranger (Brace Beemer, whose grandchildren appeared in the first game)
The Shadow (Bret Morrison)
Boston Blackie
As well as some lesser known radio soaps. Singer Rosemary Clooney sits in on the panel for this one, as Bess Myerson may have been the only panelist who had no radio background.
As has been documented here in the past, reruns of Lone Ranger, The Shadow, & Green Hornet would resurface on local radio airwaves in the 70's, which is how I became acquainted with the Shadow and the Ranger, the latter's TV reruns aside.
Rating for this episode: A.
