One of the few times former regular Jayne Meadows appeared on the panel during Steve Allen's run as host on the CBS version.
Allen tells viewers that half the panel is on vacationing so his "better half" (Jayne Meadows) and Lucy's "better half" (Gary Morton) will be sitting in for the absent Bill Cullen and Bess Myerson.
Lucille Ball was then finishing her third season of "The Lucy Show." At 9pm that evening, CBS broadcast "Lucy and Arthur Godfrey" (S3;E23). The evening before, Lucy had appeared on "What's My Line?" She is introduced as the National Chairman for the Easter Seals campaign.
Before the show, questions were solicited for Lucille Ball. The panel must answer the questions as Lucille Ball. The first question is "Are you temperamental?" Henry Morgan says yes, but Lucy says no, but that she has flare-ups after long periods of frustration. The second question is "Are you a natural redhead?" Jayne Meadows (also a bottle red head) and Lucy both say "of course!" The third question, for Gary Morton, is "Who has the final say at home?" Gary naturally says Lucy. Lucy says the only thing she has the final say on is whether the windows stay open or closed at night. Betsy Palmer's question is "Are you inherently witty or do you have to have a script?" Palmer replies that Lucy is inherently witty but that a good script helps. Lucy says she is not witty, and that she doesn't "think funny." Another question is "What is it like to be a millionaire?" Lucy seriously says she is not a millionaire, which Henry Morgan doubts. Lucy says that all her money goes into her business [Desilu Studios]. "Do you do your own cooking?" Jayne Meadows says that Lucy doesn't cook. Lucy says she can cook, but doesn't have time and often let's her husband Gary plan the meals. Gary adds that Lucy makes meatballs that taste like hockey pucks. "Are you as funny offstage as you are on?" Gary Morton says that Lucy doesn't think she's funny - but she is. "Why do you work so hard?" Jayne Meadows and Lucy agree that she works so hard because she loves it.
The program ends with the women sitting on the mens' laps, even Henry and Betsy, the only two that are not husband and wife. Allen says that the young people will be pleased to know that next week Neil Sedaka will be the guest. As the final credits roll, the network announcer promotes "The Lucy Show" guest starring Arthur Godfrey coming up in a half hour's time.
