A la Trag with the Speece
Allen Funt's Candid Microphone (ABC, Thurs. 9:30 p.m., E.D.T.) is discreetly hidden while interviewers prod the unwary into public blurts. Last week Candid Microphone threw in a fast double-talker and switched to politics. The result left it somewhat doubtful whether the real master of fumble-tongue was the professional who dished it out or the amateurs who bounced back the answers. Samples:
Double-Talker: When Dewey was on the air, did you get a la trag with the speece on the phase on the President?
Woman: Well, I ran outside. I couldn't stand it ... it was just boring.
DT: Dewey as governor can't trazzle with the presidency . . .
W: That's where he belongs . . . just where he is right now and no other place but.
DT: Well, how about Truman . . .
W: He's not fit for one. Truman is out of the question.
DT: Are you gonna vote?
W: Me? . . . No. Unless we get the right man in.
DT: Well, Eisenhower fraustil with the pagemut and the frasmitol ... do you agree with me?
W: To a certain extent, yes . . .
DT: Would you trasmil with Eisenhower on the faustis?
W: You bet your life.
DT: But you can't leisasein and tragasazz with a man on your vote aside from Dewey.
W: Ask my husband . . . He'll tell you!
