Guest panelist Vivian Blaine joins Dorothy Kilgallen, Fred Allen and Bennett Cerf on this, the show's first broadcast of 1956. Host and moderator, John Daly, greets the panel and asks them to don their blindfolds for the first guest - the show's producers and creators, Mark Goodson and Bill Todman. Bennett Cerf identifies the pair with great celerity. Goodson and Todman rattle off several statistics about the show, as it approaches its sixth anniversary. They note that John Daly has NOT missed a single show in all that time. Next up, this New Year's Day, is a Swedish woman, Miss Agnes von Rosen, who is a bullfighter. The panel is at a loss, and Miss von Rosen wins the round by default. Tonight's mystery celebrity guest is Jackie Cooper, child star twenty-five years before, who currently appears in his own TV series, "The People's Choice," on NBC. Vivian Blaine has a clue, but it is Dorothy Kilgallen who identifies Mr. Cooper. The half-hour ends with Mr. Daly thanking Miss Blaine for her appearance and his saying that he looks forward to seeing her again next week. The panel and Mr. Daly wish each other good night and a happy New Year. Mr. Daly, as always, invites the viewing audience to tune in next Sunday evening.
