A special "teenage appreciation" episode of "I've Got a Secret" from 1958 showcasing talented teenagers, perhaps intended as a response to widespread contemporary reports of juvenile delinquency. The show is hosted by Garry Moore with panelists Bill Cullen, Jayne Meadows, Dick Clark, and Betsy Palmer.
Featured on the show are:
- 12-year-old painter Daniel Rosen.
- 16-year-old pianist Raymond Jones.
- 17-year-old dancer Melinda Planck.
- 16-year-old Girl Scout Bonnie Gramm, who saved 10-year-old Tommy McClure from drowning.
- 14-year-old inventor Donald Rich.
- 16-year-old actress Carol Lynley (masked), then appearing in "Blue Denim" on Broadway.
- 19-year-old basketball player Oscar Robertson, then at the University of Cincinnati.
- Mary Sevlin, who won a $1,000 dress-making prize in a Singer Sewing Machine contest.
- 15-year-old chess champion Bobby Fischer, who is surprised with a ticket to Moscow so that he can take part in the upcoming world chess championship.
- 16-year-old Paul Anka (masked), who at that time had already written two songs that had each sold over a million records ("Diana" and "You Are My Destiny"). He lip-syncs to "Let the Bells Keep Ringing". I think the lip-sync is the only reason that announcer John Cannon says at the end of the show "portions of this program were pre-recorded", which was not the usual practice for IGAS at the time.

Very impressive episode. Most of the teens who had a secret (Anka, Robertson, Fischer, Lynley) went on to considerable fame in later years.

Garry Moore was an avid smoker, but apparently he was contractually obligated to smoke on-camera on I’ve Got A Secret, because Winston cigarettes was a major sponsor. He also appears to hand out cartons of ciggies as parting gifts to some of the guests. By the way, he suffered from throat cancer, and then died of emphysema. Two of the four regular panelists (Bill Cullen and Henry Morgan) died of lung cancer.

That 180+ IQ chess Einstein needed much more respect.

I must say, that our kids today in these years might take a lesson. The teens of yesteryear displayed themselves with such talent that they are still a model for those today. Unfortunately, we have constant profanity in everything we touch these days. Rap, video games, and people on line who desperately need an education or need to take it more seriously. I can not tell what cycled down first, but we better have a pick up soon. Our kids like those in trouble. They seem to feed on adversity versus reaching a goal of integrity. ( I can be rich by singing about crap or using profanity to acclaim fame!) What happened to real talent? Interviews are so incredibly unintelligent with some performers, that I wonder if they know what year it is? I can not watch some television interviews because I feel I might obtain that stupid genre. Well, let us face truths- we need to be more consistent in values of right and wrong. It starts with the next generation-OUR CHILDREN!
