Today....a easier name.

SO how do you change a mispronounced name into a easier name? Well, for one game show host, it was easy. Garry Moore will be told after I return.

I want to know what you thought of Bud Collyer and Beat The Clock was the most popular answer. We'll have another after  tell you more.....about Garry Moore.




Born Thomas garrison Morfit, III, began to make tentative steps into the new medium as a panelist and guest host on quiz and musical shows. On June 26, 1950, he was rewarded with his own 30-minute CBS early-evening talk-variety TV program, The Garry Moore Show, which was a shorter version of his radio show.[1][12] Until September 1950, it was also simulcast on radio.[12] During 1950 and 1951, he hosted prime-time variety hour summer replacements for Arthur Godfrey and his Friends. He appeared as a guest star on other programs, too, including CBS's Faye Emerson's Wonderful Town.
During his run as a variety-show host, Moore was tapped to host CBS' weekly prime-time TV panel show I've Got a Secret. It premiered on June 19, 1952.[2] On this show, Moore began his friendships with comedian Henry Morgan and game show host and panelist Bill Cullen, with whom he had a long working relationship.[13] Morgan later stated that Moore had helped him keep his job as a celebrity panelist on the show.[14]
Moore became known for his involvement in the variety of stunts and demonstrations of the show's contestants. The popularity of I've Got a Secret led to a cameo in the 1959 film It Happened to Jane. In the film, Doris Day's character was a contestant on the show, with Moore, as well as the panel playing themselves.[15]
Moore's variety program was moved to the daytime slot, where it ran until June 27, 1958.[5][12] Within three months of the end of the daytime show, his longtime colleague Durward Kirby and he moved the revived The Garry Moore Show into prime time as a Tuesday night comedy and variety hour that ran from September 30, 1958, to June 14, 1964.[12]
Although the show was a bigger hit in prime time, Moore always preferred the daytime housewife audience.[5] He thought that it gave the lonely housewives something to listen to and watch while they worked.[5] The show provided a break into show business for many performers, including Alan King, Jonathan Winters, Carol Burnett, and Dorothy Loudon.[1][2][3] The Garry Moore Show featured regular supporting cast members Durward Kirby,[12] Marion Lorne, Denise Lor, and Ken Carson, as well as a mixture of song-and-dance routines and comedy skits, and introduced the public to comedian Carol Burnett. After the show ended, Burnett became a star in her own right, hosting The Carol Burnett Show for many years.[12]
The Garry Moore Show was cancelled in 1964,[2][13] and in the summer of that year, after having been on radio and television for 27 uninterrupted years, Moore decided to retire, saying he had "said everything [he] ever wanted to say three times already."[2] He gave up hosting I've Got A Secret and was replaced by comedian Steve Allen, who would host the show until the end of its run in 1967 (although Moore had ended his retirement before I've Got A Secret left the air, he never returned to the series to host and Allen helmed a subsequent, one-season syndicated revival in 1972).[2][13] Moore's main activity during his hiatus was a trip around the world with his wife.[13]
Moore announced on the 10th Anniversary show June 19, 1962 that he had recently had an operation on his right hand and that is why he was seen shaking hands with his left hand for a few months because he was protecting his hand from strong handshakes. After two years, The Garry Moore Show returned to the CBS prime-time lineup in the fall of 1966.[12] The week of the premiere, Moore appeared as the celebrity guest on I've Got A Secret to promote it.[13] The new show was canceled mid-season because of low ratings against NBC's highly rated western Bonanza.[12]

But he also did To Tell The Truth.





He hosted it until his retirement in 1977. He died at the age of 78 in 1993.

Now we want to know what do you think of Garry Moore. We'll give you 2 weeks to think on it.
