What happens

Let's Play Post Office is an American game show which aired on NBC from September 27, 1965 to July 1, 1966. Don Morrow was the host, with Bill Wendell and Wayne Howell as announcers. Paul Taubman, who had previously worked with Morrow on Camouflage, provided music. The series aired at 12:30 PM Eastern and was the second game show by Merv Griffin Productions; the first was Jeopardy!, which had premiered on NBC eighteen months earlier (and in fact had moved to noon on the day Post Office debuted, thus becoming the show's lead-in throughout its run). The show was created by Louise Adamo. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
