Barney appeared on the show in 1958 and won $1,050. When Groucho asked what Barney planned on doing with his winnings, Barney made his scholarship announcement. |
 |
| What Vada & Barney did not realize was that they would need several thousand more dollars in order to award an annual scholarship of $1,000. Barney contributed to the fund by appearing twice as an imposter on To Tell the Truth; by lasting on Password through the lightening round; for writing a script for Walter Cronkite's CBS TV program, 20th Century called "The Road to Berlin"; by turning over all the income for his book, "Never A Shot In Anger; and by contributing numerous lecture and magazine fees he received. | ||
