Famous Line at the beginning of the show:

 "Ladies and Gentlemen: the story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent".

I don't think that's accurate

Herm statement is 100% accurate. Whether the show's claim was is anyone's guess.

I remember watching the Army/Navy game in 1963.

What is unique about that game is that it was the first time instant replay was used in a game. I can remember Lindsay Nelson telling all the viewers that what they saw was not Army scoring a second touchdown, but a video replay of the score. What we take for granted today was amazing back then.

Candid Camera. My Gawd, some of their stunts were hilarious. Just a couple of samples-

A car without an engine was staged at the top of a hill and rolled into a repair garage-s lot. The actress said that her car seemed to lack power. When the mechanic raised the hood and was shocked that an engine was not there, she replied "Are you sure? It was there yesterday."

The show was resurrected briefly some years ago and there was a scene where an actor walked into a donut shop and ordered just a donut-no coffee-and sat at the counter. Then he dunked the donut into the coffee of a customer sitting right next to him. With the customer still in disbelief, the actor took a bite out of the donut and dunked it in the coffee again.
