The telecast was live from New York and was sponsored by ''C.A. Swanson and Sons of Omaha, Nebraska, packers of America's best-known brand of canned and frozen poultry.''
The contestants were: Mr. Enrico CARUSO (same name as the opera tenor) and Mr. A. BABY. In the celebrity ''I'd Like to Be'' segment, French actress Leslie CARON wished she was gossip columnist Louella PARSONS.
Guest star Leslie Caron was in New York City for the premieres of not one, but two of her movies: ''The Story of Three Loves,'' opening at Radio City Music Hall and ''Lili,'' opening March 9, 1953. The ''Lili'' premiere was a benefit for Northshore Hospital. Caron donated her winnings on ''The Name's The Same'' to the same charity.
