Death At King Tut's Tomb
Description
The show kicks off with a song called "The Carioca." Then comes The March of Trivia, which covers a serious water problem happening in New York City. There's also a question about whether guest star Jack Haley will take over Fred Allen's spot. A singer named Thomas Secondari, who won the Texaco College Competition at the University of Alabama, performs next. After that, the Texaco Workshop Players put on a funny skit called "Mayhem At King Tut's Tomb," also known as "My Mummy Done Told Me."
