show is hosted by Garry Moore with panelists Bill Cullen, Jayne Meadows, Dick Clark, and Betsy Palmer.
Featured on the show are:
- 12-year-old painter Daniel Rosen.
- 16-year-old pianist Raymond Jones.
- 17-year-old dancer Melinda Planck.
- 16-year-old Girl Scout Bonnie Gramm, who saved 10-year-old Tommy McClure from drowning.
- 14-year-old inventor Donald Rich.
- 16-year-old actress Carol Lynley (masked), then appearing in "Blue Denim" on Broadway.
- 19-year-old basketball player Oscar Robertson, then at the University of Cincinnati.
- Mary Sevlin, who won a $1,000 dress-making prize in a Singer Sewing Machine contest.
- 15-year-old chess champion Bobby Fischer, who is surprised with a ticket to Moscow so that he can take part in the upcoming world chess championship.
- 16-year-old Paul Anka (masked), who at that time had already written two songs that had each sold over a million records ("Diana" and "You Are My Destiny"). He lip-syncs to "Let the Bells Keep Ringing". I think the lip-sync is the only reason that announcer John Cannon says at the end of the show "portions of this program were pre-recorded", which was not the usual practice for IGAS at the time.
