Did you know

Retired, reclusive actress Greta Garbo was such a big fan of the show she actually wrote a fan letter to Paul Lynde in care of the show's taping location at NBC Burbank.

Actor Jack Palance was once caught napping in his square during a taping; he had to be awakened by fellow panelist Michael Landon when a contestant called on him.

Host Peter Marshall had said that most of the episodes were destroyed by NBC. But a Cable TV station found 3,500 episodes (while looking for the TV series Dark Shadows (1966)) and were sent to Game Show Network. Episodes began airing on April 15th, 2002.
