An enterprising member of the studio audience secretly brought a 16mm movie camera with him into the bleachers that evening, and when no one was looking he managed to take a few "home movies" as the filming proceeded/ Gregg Oppenheimer, son of series producer and head writer Jess Oppenheimer, recently discovered and obtained this rare color footage, and has edited it together with scenes from the actual show.
