Went through several incarnations in its long run. This one was the network primetime show hosted by Arthur Godfrey and its creator Allen Funt, the premise being ordinary people in public finding themselves in awkward situations and unknowingly being filmed.

Usually the person pranking them was Mr. Funt himself.

The other people here—Julius LaRosa, Marian Marlowe, and The Chordettes, were players on Godfrey's other shows.
