2 ‘Monitor* Punt emphasizes that his purpose is not to embarrass people. While he may catch them off-guard, he strives to etch them as they are - human, workaday beings, often battling with insignificant crises. He achieves his aim by placing his people in a minor but unusual situation. He queries them, gossips, laughs, feigns befuddlement , and records their reactions. More often than not, he seems more embroiled than his subjects. Picture the deliveryman to whom Punt gave the task of removing a trunk containing a live man, or the locksmith assigned to release the secretary who had been chained to her desk by her "boss.” The mechanics by which Punt arranges his interviews are not complicated. Hiding places for the microphone are not hard to find. Prequently, it is placed in a tissue box within Inches of the subject. Occasionally, Punt will disguise it as a hearing aid. It has been hidden in a lamp, a telephone, a wristwatch and a bottle. The only undisguised item in the works is Punt himself. "You’d think people would recognize me by this time," he says, "but so far, I’ve had pretty good luck as an actor — I hope." o NBC -New York, 5/10/55
