As the peanut gallery has already mentioned, I need far more evidence that this is genuine outside of "Rich Fields says so."

I mentioned this to friends. There has to be some sort of note from Bob or other provenance. I compared it to football jerseys, where people can prove they were worn in games based on stains, repairs, or alterations. $5000+ based on Rich Fields' word is a hefty price to pay.
(joke about proving the mic's provenance through stains here)

Not a game show, but delightfully game show adjacent, a script for a 1963 pilot that would have been a revival of the spoof series It Pays to be Ignorant. Jim Backus is your host. With a panel consisting of Frank Fontaine, Phyllis Diller and Irwin Corey, plus guest star Rip Taylor, it seems unlikely that they were going for subtlety here. Hundred bucks seems like a lot, though

I had no idea scripts went for so much. I'll have to dig up my signed script from the Disney series So Weird I have buried somewhere.

He got fired for saying racist shit on the air and then works the phrase "manifest destiny" into the title of his stump speech?
You can't make this stuff up, folks.

The script cover lists a tapedate of 2/24/63 and the Elysee Theatre as the filming location.
Variety blurbs indicate this was shot for ABC, but don't seem to mention Corey or Backus.
