short-cropped hair stand up in an extra bristle. "That python was a delightful animal," he recalls. "It was eleven feet long, weighed one hundred and twenty-five pounds, and was a real beauty. Ivan, who always briefs me on things to watch out for, had told me that it wouldn't consciously do me any harm, but that I should be careful not to let it constrict. Well, there it was, around my neck, when I got interested in something else and forgot his warning. It was my fault, entirely. I was woolgathering until I felt the snake start to tighten up. But I just motioned to Ivan. He lifted it up and I pulled my head out." What even Garry admits was a "near one" occurred when the six-foot South African ant-eater came to visit. "She had no teeth whatsoever, but she did have a pair of claws which could absolutely eviscerate you. She also had her baby on her back, and when they let her out of the cage, she must have decided she wasn't going to let anyone near that baby ant-eater. She took after me, and Ivan grabbed her by the tail and pulled her back. Then she made for Ivan and so I grabbed her tail and pulled her back. We had a right lively little game of tag going on for a few minutes." Zip, the chimp, is Garry's favorite among the animals. "He's a mischief. He clowns and steals things and you never can tell what he's going to do. I always feel I've got to go some to prove that I'm as smart as he is." Although he now is an enthusiastic and studious member of the New York Zoological Society, Garry prepared for his animal training with what he calls: "Just the usual run of household pets — snakes, mice, parakeets, a European hedgehog. A skunk, too, but of course he'd had his opinion removed." At present, Garry considers his Rye, New York, home virtually de-populated. "Nell and our boys are just as fond of animals as I am," he says. "But all we've got now is one springer spaniel named Sam, and Sam is by all means the world's most jealous dog. The only thing he'll let us have around the house is the tank of tropical fish which the kids on the show gave me a year ago Christmas. It's a shame, too, for a friend of ours has a llama she is willing to lend us and that llama is the sweetest animal . . ." With obvious self-discipline he pulled his mind back from yearning for that llama. "You might say that it all adds up to the fact that the thing I like best about television is that here I can make a living just playing games. "It's a funny thing, but do you know this is the same as my first show — as all my shows, really. In Baltimore, the program was called High Noon High Jinks. In St. Louis, it was Midafternoon Madness. In Chicago, the title was Club Matinee. In New York, Anything Goes. It's just a family of good friends, getting together. The only difference is twenty years of experience— and pictures. That even applies to I've Got A Secret. Although that's a panel show, it has the overtones of people having fun." Just once — when he worked with Jimmy Durante — has he departed from this comfortable format. "It sounds funny to say it," Garry says, "but do you know those were the most frustrating five years of my life? I learned a great deal, and I was fairly successful, it's true, but the whole pattern of the show was foreign to me. There I was, being a stand-up comedian, reading lines someone else had written, where every word was polished hard as a diamond. It just wasn't my style. I finally quit and went back to what I liked best — the daytime show that rolls along easy, a place where I can make a living playing games."
