@@vickimanager Oh good, because it's late at night here and I really thought I missed a visit by one of the few past Guest Hosts. Thanks for clarifying.
@gcjerryusc Thank goodness, Tony was an artist who took the arts, including his own, seriously enough to show respect for the work that goes into them. He lived in NYC with his wife of 50 years until she died and did not go Hollywood. They were close personal friends with Eva Marie Saint and her lifelong husband, who was a director and just died in the past few years. They did exciting things like go to one another's homes for dinner and played charades and chatted. So he was not the egomaniacal type.
Tony Randall had me cracking up with that voice. What a performance! What a great actor. The seven faces of Dr. Lao was a wonderful performance by Tony! 👏👏👏👏👏
That was hysterical when Dorothy Kilgallen asked if it was Tony.....I thought she had guessed the correct celebrity, but then she inquired if it was.....wait for it.....Tony.....CURTIS!!!!! ha ha
I miss these shows. These old shows were awesome. Celebrities back then we're so down to earth, funny and gratious. Today's T.V., and celebrities could take a lesson from these shows.
Yesteryear's celebrities were fan made and they knew it by heart. Today the stars are stubborn and foolishly think the fans are for them, they are not for the fans.
I saw Mr. Kline at the World's Fair but I did not know his name at the time. The porpoises were great. Miss Bernier was a very lovely young lady. Tony Randall was a great mystery guest and he is always great when he on the WML panel. Thanks for the video.
Buddy is a real life cartoon character. He would have done well in the silent film era with such an expressive face though a big part of the fun is hearing him speak. He's a nice addition to the panel. He used to turn up everyplace in the 60s.
I love this show. Can't get enough of it. I was too young to see it live, but my parents knew about it. Even though it lasted until I was a teenager, I never saw it then. Buddy Hackett "acts" like a goofball, but he's not. He's witty and funny. Love Tony Randall who is charming and hilarious.
In the porpoise segment, there is an indirect reference to the surgeon general's report on cigarette smoking, which came out this year and led to those famous first labels on cigarette packages.
When John Daly mentioned the Surgeon General, I realized that this was 1964 when the Surgeon General advised people not to smoke. When I read this, I stopped. It may well have saved my life.
It would be darned interesting to know what the second contestant had to say to Dorothy. It looked like a conversation. When Dorothy is funny, it is a bonanza. And in this episode, it is a big bonanza. She sets the audience up to think that she has done it again -- and then she identifies the mystery guest as a wrong Tony. . .
MST3K fans will certainly recognize the movie Tony Randall mentions, Seven Faces of Dr. Lao. It's one of Joel Hodgson's favorite films and the one he quoted in his departure from the series (to Tom Servo's great annoyance).
Funny how he seemed to be everywhere when I was younger. But I'm with you. I find him hilarious on these appearances. More funnier then I remember him being.
Randall was asked whether his film had been nominated for any Academy Awards and he was not too pleased to say that it had not been. The film in question was "The 7 Faces of Dr. Lau." Until 1981, when the union demanded the creation of an Oscar for Makeup and Hairstyling, in light of "The Elephant Man" and "Raging Bull," there was no Oscar in that category. Despite its use to make stars more attractive from the beginning, the Academy had associated makeup only with horror films. So "Frankenstein" and "The Godfather" were never even nominated for an Oscar for makeup because no award existed in the category. A recent magazine article mentioned that two pre-1981 movies were awarded honorary Oscars for makeup: "Planet of the Apes" and "The 7 Faces of Dr. Lau." So although Randall's film was nominated for no Oscar, but would have been had there been a makeup Oscar, the film did win an Honorary Academy Award.
***** That's what I would think, yes, darjoe. The kinescopes from videotaped shows are what could be referred to as second generation copies versus first generation. As far superior as videotape was to kinescopes, a live broadcast would always have to be in better video quality than a prerecorded videotaped show would be, which is what would have to have been used to create the kinescopes.
SaveThe TPC What's My Line? Isn't this only another omen, showing the upcoming times? "Let's just go on, and don't bother solve the little problems on our way, that's how we make progress!" ;)
Save TPC--Trees are very valuable to the earth an us humans-- They are alive and operate --communicate with each other. It is a Divine planned way that they keep other trees alive- and help to grow. When using the 3rd eye that we all have one can see the ''etheric field''' on the outer part of the trees.. and most likely when the sun is just starting to go down. Try to sit on ground or bench and take a view -- you will see the glow that comes . Trees do have spirits -- in the supernatural way- and so much have been learned about them.. Their energy is phenomenal.
I saw a fabulous video on UA-cam that showed some tree roots "breathing". I think it may have been taken in Washington state, sorry I don't recall the channel. Fascinating though. Tony Randall was very funny, thanks for the upload. Cheers to all!
He asked if the product could only be sold by being shipped. When John said no, Buddy replied "I didn't think so. I never heard of a product like that." lmao
Did anyone else notice John's laughs during the questions to Tony Randall. Love his deep belly laughs 😂🤣 Also, why did Buddy take off his mask before the mystery guest was revealed??? Just before Dorothy was trying to guess the wrong Tony. Did anyone else notice that? Surprised it didn't come in the comments here...
This is not the first time I've heard John and Bennett pronounce "Broadway" with the accent on the second syllable. I have always heard it pronounced with the accent on the first syllable. Are John and Bennett using the correct New York pronunciation?
I lived in or around NYC for 25 of my adult years, and I never even once heard it pronounced that way. Bennett grew up in the city and even went to Columbia, which is on Broadway, so I don't know where he got that pronunciation.
Panel could not guess despite, once again, Daly doing his best to give out clues. Is it a service that is performed on integer than a shoe should be “No.” She is a beauty, both face and figure, easily more attractive than most of the actresses on the show.
I missed the first contestant's line so I decided early on that he might be a stand-up comic. As the segment proceeded it was obvious he wasn't. Meanwhile I got to thinking that would've been a GREAT line for someone to have as a non-MG guest.
I wonder if Buddy was really as enamored with her as he purported to be, or if that was all just for show. He even held out his arms as if to give her a hug instead of a handshake on her way out, but then thought better of it and settled for a handshake. If he did really mean it, I wonder what his wife's reaction really was! (Sorry for all the "really"s.)
Joe Postove Welcome back, Joe! Where've you been? Apparently you agree with Tony's wife about the voice, but I thought it was great. He certainly had the panel fooled for a long time with it -- what a fun segment!
“This is a doozer!” says Daly. I haven’t heard that term since primary school in the 60s. Later there was a character named Doozer on Fraggle Rock, and I believe doozer or doozie is a reference to the old Duesenberg automobiles, but it sounds rather archaic today.
Although John Daly and the panelists said the name of the shoeshine lady as "Bernier" might be pronounced in French, based on her facial features and a hint of an accent (she rarely said more than "yes" or "no"), I think that there is a good possibility that she is Puerto Rican, not French. I remember a baseball player of this era named Carlos Bernier. I always heard it pronounced ber-NEAR. He was a star at the top levels of the minor leagues, mostly the Pacific Coast League. In 12 seasons at the top levels, he batted .299. He was the batting champion of the PCL in 1961 with a .351 average. He was also one of the fastest players in baseball. In his first year in the PCL in 1952, he stole 65 bases for the Hollywood Stars while batting .301. That performance earned him a trip to the major leagues in 1953. He had a shining moment on May 2, 1953 when he tied a major league record by hitting three triples in the same game (in fact, in consecutive at bats). But overall he had a poor season, batting only .213. He never made it back to the majors. Some baseball historians and observers at the time feel it was because of his hot temper. He was often fined and suspended for his altercations with umpires and opposing players. In 1964, it was his last year in the Pacific Coast League with the Hawaii Islanders of the Angels' organization. He batted .294 in 124 games. 1965 was his final year in the minors, playing for Reynosa in the Mexican League. At age 38 he batted .281 in 87 games. To this day there is a debate about Carlos Bernier's place in baseball history. It has to do with the breaking of the unofficial but rigidly adhered to color barrier from the mid-1880's until the mid-1940's. When the Dodgers signed Jackie Robinson and some other black players for the 1946 season and brought up Jackie in 1947, other teams did not rush to compete with them. A few followed suit but others dragged their heels. The Red Sox were the last to have a black player on their major league roster, waiting until 1959. After Branch Rickey was forced out as General Manager of the Dodgers at the end of the 1950 season, he was hired for the same position in Pittsburgh. At that point, the Pirates hadn't done much in the way of integrating their floundering team. It took Rickey a couple of years to overcome that. But was Bernier the first black player for the Pirates? Many historians say yes, but the Pirates and Major League Baseball say no. Instead, they accord the honor to Curt Roberts who debuted with the Pirates in 1954. Roberts, born in Texas and raised in Oakland (CA) was not Hispanic while Bernier was born and raised in Puerto Rico. Yet four other teams and Major League Baseball recognize black Latino ballplayers as being the first for their teams: Minnie Minoso with the White Sox, Nino Escalera with Cincinnati (along with Chuck Harmon, but Escalera pinch hit one batter ahead of Harmon), Carlos Paula with Washington and Ozzie Virgil Sr. with Detroit. Furthermore, many newspaper and baseball magazine accounts listed Bernier among lists of black players, whether within all of "organized baseball", a specific team or a specific franchise. He was treated and harassed as a black player but opposing players and racist fans and even racist umpires. He was sometimes discriminated against in terms of travel accommodations on road trips and occasionally shunned by his own teammates as were other black players in that difficult pioneering time. And a comparison of the photos of Bernier and Virgil show them to be very similar in appearance. An article on the topic provides more details and pictures. centropr.hunter.cuny.edu/centrovoices/chronicles/case-carlos-bernier-baseballs-historic-omission Life did not end well for Carlos Bernier. Perhaps the lack of recognition for his pioneering efforts contributed to that. Plagued by financial insecurity along with medical and emotional problems, he was homeless near the end that came when he committed suicide in his hometown of Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico on April 6, 1989. Only now is the recognition starting to come. He was named to the Pacific Coast League Hall of Fame in 2004. A chapter of SABR commemorated the 85th anniversary of his birth seven years ago. And the campaign for him to be recognized as the first black player in Pirates history continues.
No one is saying anything about Buddy Hackett taking off his mask before Tony Randall was revealed. All the panelists have theirs on and are still guessing. Except for Hackett. He's sitting there, no mask on. And moderator Daly says nothing. Weird.
As soon as Bennett got to ask the first question, I knew what it would be: some variation on, "A pretty girl like you should be in show business. Are you?"
Sorry, but Dorothy's big hair does nothing to offset the weakness of her chin. Most of her hair-dos didn't balance her face and made the weakness of her chin more pronounced. Rarely did she have a hair style that drew attention away from her chin. This big 'do' makes the upper part of her head look enormous in comparison to her chin, making it look even less visible. Too bad, because viewed straight-on, she was somewhat cute and charming looking.
I like her hair. Yes her chin was small. So what. Some people have big fat or much too long chins. Maybe her hair didn't make her chin look bigger. But it always looked nice and she was very pretty.
World's Fairs are out of fashion. The last one I can remember in the U.S. was in Knoxville in 1982, and it was a failure. Has the World's Fair gone the way of the Doo Doo Bird? Too bad. I went to the NY Fair in 1965 wen I was 8 years old and it was very exciting.
I was in Knoxville a few years ago and saw the World's Fair site. Underwhelming to say the least. I do wish that more of the great NYC fair structures and such had been preserved.
+Joe Postove Of course they would preserve that structure. After all, the Fair was located in Flushing Meadow Park. Rumor has it, however, that you can no longer get a shoeshine there.
@@2508bona Most of it is gone, but the New York City Pavilion, which dates from the 1939 World's Fair, is still there. It is now the Queens Museum, and it is worth a visit if you are in the area. The most impressive exhibit is the panorama of New York City, a model with 895,000 buildings at a scale of 1 inch equals 100 feet. It was originally exhibited at the 1964-1965 fair and has been updated several times.
There have been world fairs later in other countries but called Expos. Same thing, showing trends of the future and cultures of other countries. Expo 88 in Brisbane was a tremendous success.
What is with Dorothy's neck? When she speaks, there is like one stringy tendon that that stretches and bulges out. I've never seen that sort of thing on a person.
Love these old tv shows i wish we had them now but we on't have the right people now days , i think thay tryed to do it but it was a flop ? diden't work thay just don't talk the same or something like that ?...
Joe Postove What's My Line? In the 80's it was a dime, and if a dime is 10 cents, I guess they would charge around 5 cents in the 60's. Now the prize is $6 for shoes, $10 for boots :)
Joe Postove No, the spit was charged 1 pence in advance! Now you say "Thank you" for the information regarding the shoeshine prizes! Even when I couldn't tell you how much they charged in the 60's, you have to admit I came pretty close ;)
SuperWinterborn It's Yom Kippur, I have only to thank God for his many blessing and gifts. But he wasn't home, so I will do that some other time. And a big THANK YOU for the spitformation. I just came from my sister's house where we had a nice pre fast meal of chicken, soup, rice and salad. Now the torture begins!!!!
@Lori Hansen, John Daly did mention a few uses, such as on houseplants, butcher shop floors, saloon floors, but I also found out that sawdust is used in the making of BBQ briquettes.
Gosh, no matter how many episodes I watch, I can't get over how creepy Bennett is when he's eyeballing women's bodies. I notice that he often body-checks women then will gossip with Arlene, no doubt about the woman's figure. I get it, times were different and all that. I love this show and all the TV and movies from this period, so I understand. But there's something about Bennet's way of ogling women and some of the comments he makes while grinning and drooling. Poor Phyllis.
I always loved Tony Randall (and also David Hyde-Pierce who has made a comic career of imitating him) BUT its only on this show where he is always plugging his latest movies, I realize the appalling number of STINKERS they wasted him in!
Oh GREAT, Buddy Hackett's on here :( Going down through these comments, most people say how funny he is. HOW they can say that is beyond ME!! He's not only not funny, but he's VERY annoying!! (and I was SO happy when I saw that a few people agreed with me)! Tony Randall was pretty funny!

Tony Randall is hilarious!😂😂
He should get the best mystery guest award.

He was so funny!
Every time, Tony Randall and Debbie Reynolds appeared as Mystery Guest, they always did an Emmy Award performance they was hilarious.
Agreed! They are my two absolute favorites as mystery guests.
Tony Randall was a brilliant light comedy actor. He was also a wonderfully witty member of the panel.

If you watch Tony's eyes during the first few questions, you can see the wheels turning as he tried to think up funny answers.

In the porpoise segment, there is an indirect reference to the surgeon general's report on cigarette smoking, which came out this year and led to those famous first labels on cigarette packages.
A couple years ago, some of us in the WFM Facebook group played a simulated game set in 1964. I was the Surgeon General, playing as Mr. X.
Tony Randall was a riot!
Tony owned that segment
I love the way Bennett zones in on Daly to see his reaction after one of his puns as if to say 'how about that stink?' :)
When John Daly mentioned the Surgeon General, I realized that this was 1964 when the Surgeon General advised people not to smoke. When I read this, I stopped. It may well have saved my life.
What a boon the 1964 World's Fair must have been for the show's producers--lots of guests with minimal travel expenses.

Toney and Buddy were just wonderful..
He was clearly the best and that’s why he has been on several times
The camaraderie and respect for one another is uplifting. I love this show!
2023 now....
Buddy Hackett is hilarious consistency and generally off the wall. 😄😂😂
The interaction between Tony and Buddy was priceless! Also loved how Tony responded to Bennett ( wise guy).
Whoever posted this series, Thanks.
I used to shine shoes and I went to school with Tony's cousin Linda.
And Tony loved Dorothy.

And I also love Tony Randall. He reminded me of Jack Lemmon's Daphne in Some Like it Hot in this episode.
Love him as well. His brand of humour is actually more appealing now for me, then it was back. So it could be an acquired taste. But he's very funny.
Someone mentioned on Facebook the pre-taped episodes having not very sharp quality, compared to the live ones. I definitely started to notice this.

Recorded on April 19, 1964.
I liked their guesses on the shoe shine lady.
I never thought about women getting their shoes shined, of course its kind of a lost art
When I saw the shoe shine lady, I knew John would be having a "conference" or two. LOL.
"Stay there on porpoise"! 😅😅😅😅
Porpoise trainer. Uh oh. Ripe for Bennett's puns.
My favorite Tony Randall film is "The Brass Bottle."
HILARIOUS.
Why did John Charles Daly keep answering for that purpose trainer? Some contestants needed help but this one clearly was not one of them.
It is the law
Did I hear the first guest say "good afternoon" after John presented him to the panel?
I listened a few times, and yes he did.
This was one of the rare pre-taped shows. Afternoon taping, before that night's live broadcast.

So do I. Buddy is more intelligent then he would lead you to believe.
I'm assuming that Bobby Darin was the Bobby that Buddy Hacket was talking about. But who was the Joey??

Thanks, darijoe!
2 things that don't go together, people who are regularly viewers of this channel, and people who have no idea who Tony Randall is.
I missed the first contestant's line so I decided early on that he might be a stand-up comic. As the segment proceeded it was obvious he wasn't. Meanwhile I got to thinking that would've been a GREAT line for someone to have as a non-MG guest.
I have taken a shine to the second contestant. I wonder if Bennett will pun-ish the audience again? She looks like a dame out of "Goodfellas"!
I wonder if Buddy was really as enamored with her as he purported to be, or if that was all just for show. He even held out his arms as if to give her a hug instead of a handshake on her way out, but then thought better of it and settled for a handshake.

“This is a doozer!” says Daly. I haven’t heard that term since primary school in the 60s. Later there was a character named Doozer on Fraggle Rock, and I believe doozer or doozie is a reference to the old Duesenberg automobiles, but it sounds rather archaic today.
I take issue with the fact that they said sawdust was never alive. Sawdust comes from trees and if trees aren't alive, then just what were they?
If Buddy Hackett truly saw the porpoise trainer perform, he should’ve recused himself from that segment.
Although John Daly and the panelists said the name of the shoeshine lady as "Bernier" might be pronounced in French, based on her facial features and a hint of an accent (she rarely said more than "yes" or "no"), I think that there is a good possibility that she is Puerto Rican, not French.

In 12 seasons at the top levels, he batted .299. He was the batting champion of the PCL in 1961 with a .351 average. He was also one of the fastest players in baseball. In his first year in the PCL in 1952, he stole 65 bases for the Hollywood Stars while batting .301.
That performance earned him a trip to the major leagues in 1953. He had a shining moment on May 2, 1953 when he tied a major league record by hitting three triples in the same game (in fact, in consecutive at bats). But overall he had a poor season, batting only .213. He never made it back to the majors. Some baseball historians and observers at the time feel it was because of his hot temper. He was often fined and suspended for his altercations with umpires and opposing players.
In 1964, it was his last year in the Pacific Coast League with the Hawaii Islanders of the Angels' organization. He batted .294 in 124 games. 1965 was his final year in the minors, playing for Reynosa in the Mexican League. At age 38 he batted .281 in 87 games.
To this day there is a debate about Carlos Bernier's place in baseball history. It has to do with the breaking of the unofficial but rigidly adhered to color barrier from the mid-1880's until the mid-1940's. When the Dodgers signed Jackie Robinson and some other black players for the 1946 season and brought up Jackie in 1947, other teams did not rush to compete with them. A few followed suit but others dragged their heels. The Red Sox were the last to have a black player on their major league roster, waiting until 1959.
After Branch Rickey was forced out as General Manager of the Dodgers at the end of the 1950 season, he was hired for the same position in Pittsburgh. At that point, the Pirates hadn't done much in the way of integrating their floundering team. It took Rickey a couple of years to overcome that. But was Bernier the first black player for the Pirates? Many historians say yes, but the Pirates and Major League Baseball say no. Instead, they accord the honor to Curt Roberts who debuted with the Pirates in 1954. Roberts, born in Texas and raised in Oakland (CA) was not Hispanic while Bernier was born and raised in Puerto Rico. Yet four other teams and Major League Baseball recognize black Latino ballplayers as being the first for their teams: Minnie Minoso with the White Sox, Nino Escalera with Cincinnati (along with Chuck Harmon, but Escalera pinch hit one batter ahead of Harmon), Carlos Paula with Washington and Ozzie Virgil Sr. with Detroit.
Furthermore, many newspaper and baseball magazine accounts listed Bernier among lists of black players, whether within all of "organized baseball", a specific team or a specific franchise. He was treated and harassed as a black player but opposing players and racist fans and even racist umpires. He was sometimes discriminated against in terms of travel accommodations on road trips and occasionally shunned by his own teammates as were other black players in that difficult pioneering time. And a comparison of the photos of Bernier and Virgil show them to be very similar in appearance. An article on the topic provides more details and pictures.

Life did not end well for Carlos Bernier. Perhaps the lack of recognition for his pioneering efforts contributed to that. Plagued by financial insecurity along with medical and emotional problems, he was homeless near the end that came when he committed suicide in his hometown of Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico on April 6, 1989. Only now is the recognition starting to come. He was named to the Pacific Coast League Hall of Fame in 2004. A chapter of SABR commemorated the 85th anniversary of his birth seven years ago. And the campaign for him to be recognized as the first black player in Pirates history continues.
Wonder if any of this set and/or props, exist? like the score cards.
When CBS cancelled shows, all the sets and props were tossed in a dumpster.
No one is saying anything about Buddy Hackett taking off his mask before Tony Randall was revealed. All the panelists have theirs on and are still guessing. Except for Hackett. He's sitting there, no mask on. And moderator Daly says nothing. Weird.
Shoes need pretty people, too, Bennett.
soulierinvestments I bet she got lots of customers. There's lots of shaking done by shoeshine professionals, and leaning over.
Yeah.
As soon as Bennett got to ask the first question, I knew what it would be: some variation on, "A pretty girl like you should be in show business. Are you?"
Sorry, but Dorothy's big hair does nothing to offset the weakness of her chin. Most of her hair-dos didn't balance her face and made the weakness of her chin more pronounced. Rarely did she have a hair style that drew attention away from her chin. This big 'do' makes the upper part of her head look enormous in comparison to her chin, making it look even less visible. Too bad, because viewed straight-on, she was somewhat cute and charming looking.
I agree. They never did find a hairdo that really suited her. The 60s weren't kind to her hair wise. She was kind of cute under all that hair.
I like her hair. Yes her chin was small. So what. Some people have big fat or much too long chins. Maybe her hair didn't make her chin look bigger. But it always looked nice and she was very pretty.
World's Fairs are out of fashion. The last one I can remember in the U.S. was in Knoxville in 1982, and it was a failure. Has the World's Fair gone the way of the Doo Doo Bird? Too bad. I went to the NY Fair in 1965 wen I was 8 years old and it was very exciting.
I was in Knoxville a few years ago and saw the World's Fair site. Underwhelming to say the least. I do wish that more of the great NYC fair structures and such had been preserved.
They did preserve the international Pay Toilet Pavilion, thank God.
+Joe Postove
Of course they would preserve that structure. After all, the Fair was located in Flushing Meadow Park.
Rumor has it, however, that you can no longer get a shoeshine there.
@@2508bona Most of it is gone, but the New York City Pavilion, which dates from the 1939 World's Fair, is still there. It is now the Queens Museum, and it is worth a visit if you are in the area. The most impressive exhibit is the panorama of New York City, a model with 895,000 buildings at a scale of 1 inch equals 100 feet. It was originally exhibited at the 1964-1965 fair and has been updated several times.
There have been world fairs later in other countries but called Expos. Same thing, showing trends of the future and cultures of other countries. Expo 88 in Brisbane was a tremendous success.
That was funny
What is with Dorothy's neck? When she speaks, there is like one stringy tendon that that stretches and bulges out. I've never seen that sort of thing on a person.
🤣🤣🤣
Love these old tv shows i wish we had them now but we on't have the right people now days , i think thay tryed to do it but it was a flop ? diden't work thay just don't talk the same or something like that ?...
How much was a shoeshine in 1964? Quarter?
I'd be equally perplexed to answer the question of how much a shoeshine would cost now!
Joe Postove What's My Line? In the 80's it was a dime, and if a dime is 10 cents, I guess they would charge around 5 cents in the 60's. Now the prize is $6 for shoes, $10 for boots :)
Does that come with spit?
Joe Postove No, the spit was charged 1 pence in advance! Now you say "Thank you" for the information regarding the shoeshine prizes! Even when I couldn't tell you how much they charged in the 60's, you have to admit I came pretty close ;)
SuperWinterborn It's Yom Kippur, I have only to thank God for his many blessing and gifts. But he wasn't home, so I will do that some other time. And a big THANK YOU for the spitformation. I just came from my sister's house where we had a nice pre fast meal of chicken, soup, rice and salad. Now the torture begins!!!!
I'm sorry--what normal person "could use" sawdust?
@Lori Hansen, John Daly did mention a few uses, such as on houseplants, butcher shop floors, saloon floors, but I also found out that sawdust is used in the making of BBQ briquettes.
apology accepted...
15:52 Dorothy! LOL

I thought she had the right Tony till she said Cutris.
Somewhere in there is a pun about a twin and a home permanent.
Tony Randall was from Oklahoma and was JEWISH.
And?
I kind of feel bad for the shoeshine girl. She probably was swamped with customers and maybe some guys were rude to her.
I thought he was joking and sending people to a bookstore.
But it appears to be the Roseland Ballroom.
So yeah, I hope she wasn't bothered.
The wolf whistling, although common in years past, now sounds completely sexist.
Not to most sensible people it doesn't.
@@peternagy-im4be We know which century YOU live in…
@C. Mark Sublette OK y'all be having yourself a great day y'all
Respectfully, found Buddy incredibly grating
Bennett and his pun jokes, oh my
Really don't like him
@@gailsirois7175 may I ask why, I think he's funny and has good manners
I had to look up 'porpoise' in my English-Swedish Dictionary. It's a word I never heard before. :-)
Gosh, no matter how many episodes I watch, I can't get over how creepy Bennett is when he's eyeballing women's bodies. I notice that he often body-checks women then will gossip with Arlene, no doubt about the woman's figure. I get it, times were different and all that. I love this show and all the TV and movies from this period, so I understand. But there's something about Bennet's way of ogling women and some of the comments he makes while grinning and drooling. Poor Phyllis.
The day men stop appreciating women's bodies is the day the human race is doomed to extinction.
way too pretty to be shining shoes
I agree, but bc she is so pretty, she prob gets great tips!
I always loved Tony Randall (and also David Hyde-Pierce who has made a comic career of imitating him) BUT its only on this show where he is always plugging his latest movies, I realize the appalling number of STINKERS they wasted him in!
Does anyone else hear Pee-wee Herman when Tony Randall disguised his voice?
Laura Thornton - No, he sounds more like Jack Lemon in Some Like it Hot. When he's playing Daphne.
No. He sounds like Jack Lemmon.
I know you are, but what am I? Yes
Oh GREAT, Buddy Hackett's on here :(
Going down through these comments, most people say how funny he is. HOW they can say that is beyond ME!! He's not only not funny, but he's VERY annoying!!
(and I was SO happy when I saw that a few people agreed with me)!
Tony Randall was pretty funny!
I just can’t STAND Buddy Hackett!!!
The panel has been fed answers
I don't think so. They were very erudite and kept up with current events etc...
