We have a digital antenna on our television and here in the Southland we get over a hundred channels. Only half are in English; other major language channel collections include Spanish, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Armenian.
Anyway, late one night, I found on local channel 13.2, call name BUZZR, a channel that plays old game shows, showing a fifties era show. On it, I saw a young-but-familiar face:

Johnny Carson on an old show...makes it make sense that he was well-known enough to get the Tonight Show from the first host.
Among the panel of celebrities that were the stars of this particular show was even more familiar:

This guy was on the beach in Normandy on D-Day.
Here he is reunited with Betty White, who played Kitty's mom:
