people, mad with curiosity, wrote in demanding to
know what Faye had said that was so bad She

Sometimes the crisis takes place even before the
show begins. Recently Bob Stewart, producer of
''The Price Is Right" had to make last-minute
decision that could have involved fe-and-death for
several hundred people in the studio audience Just
before this toprated telecast was scheduled to go
on, the New York Police Department got telephone
call informing them bomb had been placed under a
seat. Thinking FAST Stewart called Don Pardo, the
programs warm-up announcer, backstage, and with
police cooperation whispered plan in his ear.
Pardo went onstage and said: ladies and gentle
men, we are going to give extra prize tonight We
will award it to anyone in this theater who finds
something under his seat. Now get up and look -
immediately
There was a gay furry of excitement in the
theater while the audience, to a man and woman,
took part in a treasure-hunt for what they little
realized was bomb. With the police standing by

F0ye vs.. the spider
Though profanity is another scourge that can
turn emcees hair gray, it's sometimes better to
let verbal lapse pass rather than embarrass every
one by making a Federal Case out of it. As an
example, take what happened on an 1--WE Got A
Secret" Halloween program. The producers had
strung huge spider from the ceiling which they
suddenly let down in front of Faye Emersons face in
the middle of the program.
Take that damn thing away from mel" yelled
Miss Emerson, cringing from genuine fear. The
next time her turn came to speak the panel, she
apologized profusely for what she had said. What
she didn't know was that the mike had been turned

ready to empty the theater, Pardo requested that
anyone who had found package under his seat raise
his hand. The police held their breath. No hand was
raised.
''Then must have left my raincoat on the sub
way" said Pardo amid gales of laughter from jolly
audience who, until they read these lines, never
knew they might have been sitting on dynamite.
