was I believe was Tony Curtis yes uh number two do you know who the most famous gate crasher was oh I don't believe so okay let me go back to number one uh what credentials were you required to show when you were a doctor when I was a doctor yes well I made up a series of diplomas and certificates that said that I graduated with honors so you falsified yes I see now a number three out be interested to know what you were arrested for the actual charge was carrying forged documents which in this case were checks and did you have a fortune in a document such as an airline pilots identification or a lawyer's degree the identification card was easy basically I had an identification card made at a standard place that makes did you have to carry on some kind of a conversation to some of the people who were also in the profession might know something about you I did a little reading before and after as they went along let's go to Peggy number two did you ever give anybody medical advice uh yes I worked it for a year as a chief resident of a hospital and I asked you never to which hospital is the carb County General Hospital in Marietta Georgia how did anybody get well

they don't everybody though don't know he's gonna be a better number three what's a Deadhead it's when you're flying it's supposed to be on duty in another country and you're just flying back for free to get there number three what is that Paul Muni as being a Paul Muni here's bill color Road City business number two I don't know I don't my imagine you mine embarrassing questions so forgive me this parole you have is it real my parole yes sir yes it expires in 1981 I'm just asking because how are we to know this is really a parole you have number one you said it is stated here Joe said I in no time at all I was a co-pilot for the record can i clear any something up were you a copilot in the cockpit of an airplane not actually no and were you number two I know not and number three no good that's a relief for all of us who must come time to time patter certainly true what you did number three was just utilize the privileges that a co-pilot gets as far as flying for nothing that's right the special treatment in the fact that I could sit up with the pilot and co-pilot while we're flying when you were doctor number three did you make house calls never do see there he's that's a real good imitation if you get it okay that means not our game is over it is time to vote they must mark their ballots no consultation no change and do you think it's number one or do you think it's number two or do you think it's number three we pay $50 for each incorrect answer five hundred dollars of all the answers are wrong the votes and kidding you got us started how did you vote well it's very difficult because number one has that sweet honest open face that any mother would love number two looks like a serious fellow you trust as a doctor or resident but number three seemed to know all the answers about deadheading and the Internal Revenue and all that so I voted for number three number three all right let's go to see how nipsey voted now well usually I find it when you're when you're flying false colors the less you say the better chance you have getting away with it number three kind of laid-back and one phony knows another when he sees mommy knows another yeah oh yeah let's go to Peggy how did you go peg well I didn't go along with the crab let me Street knew about deadhead in the Internal Revenue but practically everybody does now look at number one he almost looks like a

the Hamilton gallery of Contemporary Art in New York City number three what is your name and what do you do my name is Regina Henry and I'm advertising in public relations manager of The Plaza Hotel Barbara since most of the players are Canadians and they grow up actually on ice skates and are pretty good skaters what kind of a selling job did you have to do to get the job how could you convince him well first of all most hockey players have never had a skating lesson in their lives you know even the Canadian players they've had a lot of opportunity to skate but they maybe have they're skating with the wrong shoulder or not having a body in the right position we're not really using the edges getting the most out of the thrust of their skates so I started working with Bobby nice German some of the other players came along and I guess seeing that I could skate right alongside of the players and that I could excel doing certain exercises convinced them and a certain players that I have worked with did excel in balance or once you prove you could do it they just went right along huh yeah I never had a problem I know being blond and everything but they love it they heard

Bonus - watch from the start to see Frank Abagnale, the guy DiCaprio played in Catch Me if You Can

This was really neat! I learned about a woman in sports history and I got to watch vintage game shows - Two things I love to do in my off time. Thanks!

[u/squeda]

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing!

I laughed out loud when the middle girl tried to pull the "oh I wasn't paying attention, were you talking to me?"

[u/DJ80]

I guessed that it was her from the start because she had a much larger trunk/legs than the other women. Being an Olympic level skater gives you one hell of a lower body. It's like Crosby or St. Louis and their massive thighs.

[u/jp_the_orange]

I had her for a skating coach for a few years. She is both the nicest and scariest ladies you will meet in your life. Complete different personalities on the ice vs off. She is also an amazing coach and everyone I know who has worked with her has done a complete 180 on their skating skills.

This was amazing to watch! And to learn. Thanks for posting.

'Most hockey players have never had a skating lesson in their life' Lol, how times change.
