? about Orson Welles on "I've Got a Secret" 17 Oct 1956

...I just came across a videtape of Orson Welles' appearance on "I've Got a Secret" on (according to the IMDb) October 17, 1956. On it, his "secret" is that he had predicted the outcome of that year's Presidential election, including the winning Electoral College vote within 15 and the Popular vote within 175,000. During the program, the sealed envelope was given to a man identified as the assistant vice-president of the First National City Bank of New York, who took the envelope for safe keeping and that he and Welles were to be on the program of November 7, 1956, to display what Welles' prediction was. I've never seen the follow-up run on GSN, and I can't find anything online indicating that Welles indeed returned for that November 7th broadcast. Anyone here know what the upshot turned out to be (aside from Ike being re-elected, that is)?...
