This has nothing to do with the episode you want but if you go on Youtube there is someone there who is also a big Peter Lorre fan. They have quite a few full length videos of that he stars in. I found it when I was looking for stuff on Bob Hope.

A YouTuber has posted the Peter Lorre/Joanie Sommers episode. Search Peter Lorre Joanie Sommers: it should come up.

This is a good one, with Jack trying to keep a straight face with Peter Lorre, and Mel Blanc trying to keep a straight face with Jack (there's a role reversal!). This is when the program was pre-filmed and edited for broadcast: still, lucky for us they usually kept the cameras rolling to capture the spontaneous reactions.

The last part is VERY "Serling-esque"!

Speaking of said episode:

There are several references to "The Shopping News":
What was this, a newspaper insert or something?
