S J&yttungTiui With the exception of “Post Office”— and Bob Hope will probably take care of that—there won’t be a parlor game confined to the parlor this fall. Every conceivable variation on the Q. and A. or stunt themes either is currently on TV, has been tried and decried, or is knocking on a network door. The latest entry is ABC’s Come Closer which, despite its title, is not in the “Post Office” category. On this one, presided over by ventriloquist Jimmy Nelson, contestants are re¬ warded for giving answers closest to the truth. Perhaps the most unusual of the more recent lot is One Minute, Please, a Du Mont summer import from Brit¬ ain which features Hermione Gingold, a comedienne’s comedienne. Pitting three men against three women, the show requires panelists to speak for 60 seconds, extemporaneously and without repetition, on any subject im¬ aginable—how to raise lettuce, ride a camel or separate an egg. Stop the Music, almost as venerable as the Santa Claus it tries to imitate, has replaced another ABC old-timer, The Name’s the Same. Bert Parks, whose association with Stop the Mu¬ sic must have started in “Bicycle Built for Two” days, is back again as emcee. The new TV version, which is pretty close to the old radio ver¬ sion, except for a smaller telephone budget, features a resident songstress (Jaye P. Morgan) and guests. But the ^ GAMES j Quintet of quizzers: game emcees include, from top, Jan Murray, Win Elliot, Jay Jackson, Peter Donald and Bill Cullen.
