The splash at the start of the show had "I've Got A Secret" encircled by a Christmas wreath, and host Steve Allen mentions in introducing the panel (Betsy Palmer, Bill Cullen, Bess Myerson, Henry Morgan) that Bess Myerson will be hosting the Tournament of Roses Parade on January 1.
That would appear to place this episode in December 1966, as Myerson was hostess for the 78th annual Tournament of Roses Parade, on New Year's Day, 1967.
One of the guests was a marine with an uncommon last name, and two navy corpsmen, twins, with the same last name, although they are unrelated, as far as anyone knows. The secret? They met when the twins delivered the marine's wife of - you guessed it - twins. Did the marine consider naming the twins after the corpsmen? No; one of the twins was a girl.
When Anka comes out to do the celebrity guest bit at the end of the show, he announces that he has a new baby himself, two weeks old. That birth date would not work for Amanda, Alicia, or Ethan; it would appear to be Amelia, Anthea, or Alexandra.
