Times have changed. When I was in the fifth grade in 1974, during a health class the teacher asked how many of us lived in a household where no one smoked. Only two of 31 kids raised their hands. I was one of them. Frankly, I was dumbfounded that my household was a rarity.

I grew up with these boys, Mike was my neighbor, Jeff and Johnny were my class mates along with Mike. Brings back find childhood memories for me! They were great friends!

As prophetic as his prediction was, they both lived long lives for the day. Gary died at age 78, and Henry was 79. Both lived past the average age expectancies for their generation.

proving that even a child knows that smoking is harmful to your lungs.

Unreal. Gary couldn’t get through taping an episode without a cig in his hand. The boy didn’t need to be psychic to predict his cause of death.

The women always looked so gorgeous back then. They were so glamorous.

I got a secret, we're all going to die.

Cigarette in the hand was as common as a mobile phone in the hand today both a health issue!

Tv will never be as good as it was in 50’s-60’s and 70’s it was a grand time for tv

I endured lots of second hand smoke as a child. I had to beg my parents not to smoke around me. They listened and eventually quit.

Love this! They need to bring this show back, only the secrets today would not be as wholesome I'm afraid.

That was extraordinary! Three 5-year-olds from separate generations!

Children! They speak their Truth! Amazing Connection they have to each other!

3:30 Bill got it right when he said that they were nephew, uncle and ‘grand uncle’, but Garry just dismissed it.

Such a funny episode, these former kids are hysterical, and Garry makes it even funnier with his reactions to them, ...the 4 people on the panel are great too, ....just fantastic.☺

Guaranteed, the commercial following Moore saying "let's watch this" was a cigarette ad.

Smart kid. A lot of people didn't believe that back then.

I loved watching these great quiz shows in the early-mid '60s! "I've Got A Secret" and "To Tell The Truth" ran back-to-back on CBS on Monday nights, while "What's My Line?" ran on Sunday nights. Those were the 3 I watched every week, until they suddenly vanished: I've Got A Secret" (1952-67), "What's My Line?" (1950-67), and "To Tell The Truth" (1956-68). There haven't been better fun quiz shows as these were in that wonderful era of television!

My neighbor lady smokes heavily, has lung disease and is on oxygen. She looks older than me (59) and she is 49. Pretty sad since she is the only mom her grandchildren have ever known. Even at 4 and 5 they told her they are afraid she is going to die. Me too.

I'm sure the cigarette companies sponsoring the show loved that part.

It would be interesting for a current show to track them down and interview them.

Thanks for posting. Haven't seen this for nearly 55 years... but it's one of the few IGAS bits I remember explicitly. I was in the 6th grade, growing up about 30 miles from Winston-Salem (where my parents met).

I remember watching this with my sweet mother as a little girl….we always thought Betsy Palmer was so pretty.

These kids were ahead of their time because this was a rare thing for a child of that era to be saying. The reaction tells you not many were taking the warnings about smoking serious yet. Cigarette smoking reached its peak in the US in 1965 when it is estimated that 40% of the adult population were smokers

The guess of "an uncle, a nephew, and a grand uncle" was correct. I can't believe no one challenged that. And those titles were even in the order that the boys were standing.

This reminds me of that old country song "I'm My Own Grandpa"

This was TV when I was a kid. 3 channels, we thought we were sophisticated. 50 yrs earlier they had no cars, no planes, and all but a few were poor. Then today I hold in my hand a Star Trek communicator 😂

Both Moore and Morgan both lived till almost 80 years old. Both born in 1915 and died in '93 and '94.

I can remember the ash trays being at the elevators. It was frowned upon to smoke on the elevator. But perfectly okay on the airplane

They should bring something like this back......family oriented and funny to watch. Love this.

Gary Moore handled it with comedy. It was classic!

Those boys were cute and spontaneous with genuine laughter🤣 from the panel and audience...all are 64/65 years old--hopefully all are well and non smokers.💖

Thank you for showing these episodes

Betsy Palmer's secret: my son wears a hockey mask.

Goodness, how I laughed and smiled throughout. Thank you so much for posting this.

I was lucky, both my parents didn't smoke and they were the WWII generation where smoking was HUGE. My dad lived strong & sharp to 98 & my Mom is still going strong at 92. Smoking takes years & years off your life

The first guy guessed it in his initial attempt.

What is noteworthy about this clip is the secret. This man may have been the first and only person in history to have a child, a grandchild, and a great grandchild who were all the same age!! (I don't think l have heard of such an occurrence before. A situation like this would have to be very rare, if not in fact unique.)

50's and 60's kids had a certain innocence about them.

My mother smoked for 30 years. She quit when she was confined to bed for two years with a bad back, as she didn't want to smoke in bed and possibly fall asleep with a burning cigarette. When I used to tell her how dangerous cigarette smoking was, she told me how her grandmother died of old age at 92, and she smoked all her life. She then said that her own mother died of lung cancer at the age of 52 and never smoked a day in her life, so "don't tell me how dangerous cigarettes are." I mentioned that her mother was raised by her grandmother who smoked every day of her life, and maybe she got cancer later in life because she had breathed in so much of her mother's cigarette smoke. I was thinking about secondhand smoke before I ever heard the term. When we were kids, my mother used to have us roll her cigarettes while we watched TV. She bought loose tobacco and cigarette tubes and had a little syringe looking device that injected the tobacco into the tubes. It was kinda fun, even though we hated the smell of the cigarette smoke when she smoked them.

They ought to have also brought out Johnny’s father Frank and Mike’s grandfather and mother.

These are the days of " Ladies and Gentlemen". I watch the old stuff, long before my time, and wonder how marvelous it must have been! Women had poise, were intelligently well spoken, beautifully modest; men were strong characters, charming and gentlemanly back in the 40's, 50's and 60's.. Television was clean, showcased talent, love, and life. What's happened to society/ people?

In the late 1950's and early 1960's, MAD Magazine connected smoking with lung cancer. During that time, Raleigh Cigarettes had coupons on each pack that could be redeemed for prizes. In one of MADS's articles, it said that you could trade in Raleigh coupons for a new lung machine. Maybe this kid's father told his son that smoking could lead to death. As an aside, I always liked Garry Moore and saw him hosting the very first Earth Day event in 1970 in Union Square Park, New York.

Now if he predicted someone's death who didn't smoke that would be impressive.

I think the question about if they’re a nephew, uncle and great uncle should’ve been answered with a yes

The sponsors of many TV shows back then were cigarette / tobacco companies. The host of the show almost shit when the kid started badmouthing cigarettes. The one panel member that decided to "smoke on camera" even though the host of the show was the only one "allowed" to smoke on camera, that panel member ( by immediately lighting a smoke ) was kissing the ass of the sponsor to soften the criticism of the kid that said they were "going to die because they smoked cigarettes."

i'm against smoking, but Moore&Morgan did live another respective 31&32yrs.

What's funny about kids: they point out the obvious.

This is GENUINELY hilarious. Fully laughed out loud to this! 😂

I was a kid in the 60's. Everyone smoked. Mom smoked Viceroys, Dad camels. Hated the smell. Hated the dirty ashtrays. Hated their stinky ass breath. I had asthma. As did my brother. Two of my best friends died of lung cancer before the age of 60. Both smoke starting the the 9th grade.

I'm aware that Winston cigarette was a sponsor to the show but he couldn't stop smoking for a few minutes while introducings the kids? That cigarette came really close to the first kids ear.

Kid to *Garry Moore* : "You're an amazing guitar player" Kid to *Henry Morgan* : "You're a Welsh pirate"

I can't believe they're smoking a cigarette so close to that kid's face

I remember watching Bewitched with Elizabeth Montgomer as a kid, in both black and white and later when it was in color. Darren had a glass of booze or a cigarette in his hand most of the time. Every other commercial was for cigarettes.

3:58 the kid is waving the smoke away.

Good for you Johnny! My grandfather died from emphysema, my parents died from cancer, I have a friend who died from emphysema four years ago, all were smokers. Children are blunt and get to the point, I never told people things like that, but I never got into smoking because I lost my grandfather when I was five and knew smoking had something to do with his death, but I wish had been more vocal about it, and admire this young fellows straightforward comment, and love the irony that the shows sponsor was in the tobacco industry!

Gary Moore smoking onstage. It was a different time. Doctor shows showed doctors smoking as they chatted in a hospital corridor. We truly didn’t know the dangers back then. Now we do. Amazing anyone starts now.

"The less you say the better I'll be." lol

Funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Everyone had a great time.

A crazy prediction (SMH)...Garry was 78 when he died, Henry Morgan was 79. The kid isn't necessarily Nostradomus.

1962. The youngster is a live version of the warnings that didn't appear on cigarette packs till '66.

That boy is smarter than all the adults that smoke!!!

I love these kids!!!! 🤣🤣 Would love to see what became of them.

Call them triplets and split the difference

A goodly number of the comments discuss the timeline in acknowledging the harmfulness of tobacco. I've read that people started to talk about the relationship between lung cancer and tobacco after the death of HM King George VI in 1952. Interestingly, George VI's father, George V and his grandfather Edward VII both died of smoking 🚬 related illnesses. A very good clip!

And Winston was the sponsor wow.

The fact that this was allowed to air shows how little people took the dangers seriously.

So cute..And it was so nice watching a wholesome show...that it brought a smile to my face. 😊

Really quite something to have a son, a grandson AND a gt-grandson all the same age. A little puzzling though is how they differ in size and reactions -the gt. grandson especially as if he was really younger than 5 years old. Lovely kids though.

Garry Moore had his cigarette about a foot from the boys face when he first introduced them. How times have changed. I have a cigarette burn on my hand where I accidently got burned by my aunt's cigarette. You can see Johnny trying to fan the smoke away when he is standing behind him.

We seem to look back at the “old days” in some what of a omnipotent manner from our present day as if nothing we “know” and believe today about science, pharmaceuticals etc could possibly be wrong. Let’s look back in 50 years and we’ll see how wrong we were.

I think, what with cigarette companies sponsoring so many early t.v. shows, that the regulars who smoked, such as Gary, were expected to smoke as much as possible to show what a fun and sophisticated thing it was to do. I even saw an ad on the Dick VanDyke Show where DVD and MTM were sitting in the set of Rob & Laura Petrie’s house, smoking and advertising the sponsored cigarettes. It is really disgusting how the cigarette industry, which knew damn well how dangerous their products were, bamboozled the public with their ads.

Just read up on this family a bit now and amazingly, the senior Mr. Davis's mother was still living as well.

The kids would be 63 or 64 now (December 2020), born in late 1956, or in 1957. I wonder if any of them avoided smoking.

what psychic ability - only took 30 years for the prediction to come true

Great episode

Bill Cullen got it right in the first place.

I never understand with this one why they brought the boys out and stood them in the wrong order.

Thanks for posting! Funny.

Original air date; October 29, 1962. On January 11, 1964, Luther L. Terry, M.D., Surgeon General of the U.S. Public Health Service, released the first report of the Surgeon General’s Advisory Committee on Smoking and Health.

The boy is only repeating what he has heard.

" Winston tastes good like a cigarette should."

This show was always interesting lol Gary's eyes to you're gonna die priceless! I was expecting to all dads walk out and claim their sons. Mr. Davis son acted alot older than his nephews.

The old man’s wife is also the first kid’s sister, grandmother, and aunt, the second kid’s cousin, mother, and sister, and the third kid’s daughter, grandmother, and girlfriend.

The shadow on this guy's suit at 0:42 is gorgeous

what a Riot ! TV used to be so much Fun !

4:20 The kid says something smart and adults react like laughing hyenas.

I remember those days when people actually acted like people.

Judging by their haircuts, every male in the 1950s must have been in the Air Force.

love this!

People smoked inside businesses, in movies, magazine ads, after church in the parking lot, at the movies, restaurants- everywhere.

They didn't die for another 30 years when they exceeded life expectancy.

That was really funny when Mike said I don't know. 😆

Amazing. Considering the times.Also what an amazing coincidence.

The kid was right, Garry Moore died of emphysema and Henry Morgan died of lung cancer.

"Mike, what is Jeff to you?" "I don't know." 😆😂🤣 Perfect attitude for a 5 yo. All this grown up stuff is boring. Wanna play hide and go seek?

It was common knowledge and widely known cigarettes were bad for your health a hundred years before this show

My G-d. What a show! What insight. This show is before the Surgeon General's warning on cigarette cartons too and before the Surgeon General released his report on smoking in 1964?

Freaky!! But not expected. They (the Sponsors and general public) were still giving multi packs for not only prizes but also advertising giving them for the holidays. People can smoke if they wish, but with chronic bronchitis, I can't be around the smoke for too long.

"No carton of Winstons for you, sport."
