Thanks for posting this show. I just sent the link to Nick's relatives (of which I am proud to be counted as one also)! Some of my fondest childhood memories were with Nick, his brother Martin and of course, Kokomo Jr. (whichever chimp he brought over to our house or my school for first grade show and tell)! What a great guy, chimp and most of all, great memories!!! THANK YOU!
You're right. But it had just started in '59 when the show aired so the academy was brand new. That almost put me off but the others knew diddly, and moreover when they were standing when introduced, I noticed if they were all to draw, #1's hand was best positioned to draw on the way up when speed was involved.
I lived in Colorado Springs for over 30 years and I am very familiar with the AFA. The AFA is located just northwest of Colorado Sprigs. Academy Blvd leads to the South Gate. While the AFA campus was being constructed the cadets were housed and trained at Lowry AFB in Denver until August 1959 when the campus was completed.
I picked #2 right off in the beginning as they were passing the Chimp. My reason was because the little guy's face seemed so relaxed in #2's arms but was slightly unsettled when the others were holding him.
*SPOILER* Round #1: The real guy said that that "Kokomo Sr." worked the Dave Garroway show. Now, I was always under the impression that the elder chimp's name was "J. Fred Muggs." However, that may have only been a "stage name."
Al Morales competed in four Summer Olympics for the U.S. The closest he came to a medal was in 1960 when the U.S. sabre team finished fourth. He never fenced before getting appointed to the Naval Academy. He had failed at baseball and lacrosse but learned fencing quickly and became a collegiate champion only a few years after taking up the sport.
See you've been on Wikipedia again. At least your comment this time is much more reasonable in length. The last thing we need is another tome filled with predominately useless information and of little interest to almost anyone.
I really don't understand why they let Polly behave like such a fool. And Tom Poston is the worst kind of know-it-all, the kind who never figures it out.

The Air Force Academy is NOT in Denver. As far as I know, it's in Colorado Springs, CO.

The Air Force Academy was inaugurated in 1955, not 1959.

Funny how Kokomo just keeps eating like it's all business as usual.
Bud Collyer was a fantastic host , never overplayed his hand but let contestants and panelists have centre stage .

Right, me too because the chimp gave # 2 a hug when the exchange took place.

@@Walterwhiterocks no one forced you to read it.
@@gemoftheoceanI often don't when I see how long winded they are. Thanks for your concern 😊.
final show of 1959
Knew the fast draw contestant before they spoke by the way she wore her gun belt.
Exactly my thoughts!
Chimpanzees are so smart. He knew exactly what to do with that spoon. I wonder what happened to his mother.
used to love new year's eve as kid, so maybe I saw this when it was first shown.
I used to love those chimp acts. Now, not so much.
i think tom poston's success rate was more than anybody.
Now Tom is going to "school" the fencing champion on terminology....?
What if it poops on the set ?
I wonder if #1 in the second set has since heard of Alec Baldwin...
Tom Postman.
#2 fencer acting too stiff.
Man #2 in Game #1 (What was the chimp eating? It looked like Jell-O).
Lady #1 in Game #2
Man #3 in Game #3

@@peternagy-im4be I agree, he comments on every video and spoils the fun. I often look in the comments before I have seen the entire episode.
Polly was truly weird! She looked like she had taken/drank/or? something?
I heard they are getting Sony products
Wow... disappointed
Wow...look how we treated Blacks !
Probably wearing a diaper.
I really don't understand why they let Polly behave like such a fool. And Tom Poston is the worst kind of know-it-all, the kind who never figures it out.
