I've Got a Secret dispensed with its usual format for one night in 1962. The reason was an unofficial crossover, if you will, with The Defenders, as one its stars, E. G. Marshall, served as a de facto co-host for the 2nd half of the show with Garry Moore.
The idea here was to have the panel (Betsy Palmer, Bill Cullen, Bess Myerson, & Henry Morgan) take turns as attorneys addressing the jury, and they did bring some folks in to be in the jury box. If you didn't know already, Cullen was limited due to a past bout with polio that left him unable to walk lengthy distances, or, in this case, back & forth across the jury box.
In a way, some episodes of Secret that had comedy elements like this were like extensions of Moore' self-titled comedy-variety shows.
No rating. Just a public service.
