Clyde Tombaugh on a Game Show

Back in 1956, Pluto was still a planet and it’s discoverer (Clyde Tombaugh) was in his prime. Professor Tombaugh appeared on a game show called “I’ve got a Secret”, in which a panel of contestants had to guess his secret. The answer, of course, was that he had discovered Pluto. Here is a film of that episode, in which Professor Tombaugh explains to the audience how the discovery was made, and talks a bit about astronomy. Lots of fun!
