Grainy, black and white, but for a bridge player, probably every bit as interesting as it ever was, perhaps moreso because of the presence of names like Chico Marx, Gerber, and Goren.

His nickname wasn't really "cheek-o", it was "chick-o" cos he liked the ladies.
I also thought that, but he didn't correct them even before the show. I guess he responded to both.
