US Marines drill to commands of Jonathan Winters and four other civilians

(reported elsewhere on YouTube to be from April 16, 1962)

Jonathan Winters, himself a World War II US Marine, leads a small platoon of Marine recruiting sergeants in close-order drill on the "I've Got a Secret" program on CBS TV. After a short monologue, Winters then challenges each of the members of the I've Got a Secret panel to issue commands to move the Marines to another location on the stage and regroup them. Some hilarity ensues.

For those who are too young to remember the original "I've Got a Secret Program", the host was Garry Moore; and, the panel members were Betsy Palmer, Henry Morgan, Bess Myerson and, substituting for regular panelist Bill Cullen, Merv Griffin.

PS: One of the reasons I posted this was because I was a member of a national collegiate champion Pershing Rifles drill team from Pennsylvania Military College (PMC) in Chester, PA. If you'd like to see more precision drill at a faster pace, take a look at this 7-minute mini documentary that I prepared for the PMC Museum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wtvnIQe1z8&t=33s
