Judge For Yourself w FRED ALLEN - Henry Nostradamus - Intro by Phyllis Diller (Dec 29, 1953)

Highlight of this show is nut case Henry C. Roberts, the third contestant, who believed he was the living reincarnation Nostradamus.  He provides just the sort of setup that Fred needs to land some slam dunk one liners.  This show needed more nuts - like on You Bet Your Life!

On the expert panel this week is Arthur Fiedler, conductor of the Boston Pops.  As usual, there's no time in the format for Fiedler to really get to say much of anything except to announce the panel's selections. 

Nonetheless, this is a real treat for Fred Allen fans, since these programs were rerun once and only once on GSN in the late 1990s and may never be shown again due to the prominence of the cigarette sponsor, Old Gold.  As far as I'm concerned, any Fred Allen video is a precious Fred Allen video, since there's so very little outside of What's My Line.  But at least this handful of his shows was rerun once, so you can. . . Judge for Yourself!
