A few years ago I saw a youtube video of a man who claimed to have witnessed the assassination of Lincoln. He was very old, and the interview was filmed in the 1950’s, iirc. One of those old b&w tv game shows, where a panel of guests tries to guess who he is or what’s special about him.

The show was “I’ve Got a Secret.” The episode featuring Samuel J. Seymour, the last living witness to President Abraham Lincoln's assassination, aired February 8, 1956.

Last Witness to President Abraham Lincoln Assassination

I was born 4-1/2 years before the show aired. It’s cool to think I could have watched that show and I was alive when a witness to the assassination was still alive.

I saw the same youtube of What’s My Line.

I’ve seen that video, and I’m old enough to remember that game show, but not old enough to have seen THAT episode of it. The guy was 100, or 101, I think.
