Garry Moore

If you were a game show fan in your youth, you'll remember Garry Moore. It was on this day in 1952 that the TV panel game "I've Got a Secret" premiered.  Garry hosted that show and "To Tell the Truth." He also had his own program, "The Garry Moore Show." At that time, he introduced comedienne Carol Burnett. After the show ended, Burnett became a star on her own with "The Carol Burnett Show." Moore started his career as a radio announcer on WBAL in Baltimore. His popularity on the game shows led to a cameo appearance in a film with Doris Day, named "It Happened to Jane." Garry also made some radio monologues for Decca Records, including "Hugh, The Blue Gnu" and a triple speed reading of "Little Red Riding Hood."
