There is an episode in the future of WML being advertised as Groucho destroys the show. It's dangerous to underestimate Groucho, but I can't imagine him breaking things up any better and any more charming than what Debbie Reynolds did during her turn at MG this night. I am guessing that she had already been booked on WML when Eddie Fisher divorced her and married the person she considered one of her closest friends. Maybe she was crying on the inside, but on the outside she held her head high, wore a huge smile and had fun.
I’m 18 and would never even touch a film from before the 80’s, just because I thought it would be boring and the picture wouldn’t be good. But this show is so entertaining
Meh. Boomers' dishonesty is why life is HORRIBLE for young adults nowadays. But you are probably a loser whose life will never be affected by anything your loser ass watches on the internet You are literally 100% an idiot who feeds into this horrific system. You have the resources to do better but you won't because you are a LOSER
Debbie Reynolds performance is one of the funniest things I've ever seen on tv. This is an absolute classic, as good as anything Saturday Night Live has ever done. To those who said it went on too long, one word: uh-uh. Or is that two words, darlingz?
This is probably one of the best episodes of the show. Really shows off Dorothy's intelligence, Arlene's wit and humor and the guests were all perfect and fun.
Yes, this illustrates the panel's readiness to pick up on potential laugh lines, even by drifting away from the basic challenge of the game. Arlene and Bennett, particularly, would follow any path that was generating laughs. Dorothy was more focused on solving the puzzle, but even she would occasionally go after a laugh rather than a solution.
@@dizzyology7514 *Gasp* No!! Really!?!?...... Gee, thanks, Mister. We would all be lost and confused by this video if you hadn't explained how comedy or quick-wittedness worked or what makes for entertaining television. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.

Always found Debbie Reynolds to be such an underrated and underused actress. Surprised she didn't get more comedic over-the-top roles like Molly Brown.
KEN RETHERFORD Their love is apparent to this viewer at least; I'm sorry if you can't see it whenever they're on together. His charm, intelligence, and talent must have had much to do with it. And when younger, he wasn't at all hard on the eyes: m.facebook.com/groups/728471287199862?view=permalink&id=966032090110446 has a photo of the two in 1938 when he played the role of Danton. If you're not in the WML Facebook group, other images can be found online by searching for "Martin Gabel Danton".
@@CelineOracle - i see it as one of those jokes that can refer to many things. how many things are used under the bed? she could have meant, if it is used under the bed, we will never guess it so we should just leave.
I love that the sparks were flying between Miss Di Leo and John. He's usually so in control that it's always kind of adorable when he gets flustered. Their "conference" WAS particularly intimate!
This was Debbie's second appearance on this show. The first time. when she was only 22, and she "brought the house down" with her tremendous humor, so, they brought her back for this one. It was hilarious again She had such a talent for comedy, WOW!
I remember Debbie Reynolds in her mid to late 30s when I was a kid. Then I saw these appearances while she was in her 20s. How incredibly enamoring she was.
Say what you want about Dorothy, but she was easily the finest WML players ever to appear on the panel. Her skill as a reporter obviously served her well when it came to the logical deduction of her questioning style.
Debbie Reynolds is one of the greatest entertainers ever...and gorgeous to boot. I wish sometimes life's circumstances would have put me where I could have seen her in her acts in Vegas or simply met her. Like Doris Day she was so multi-talented. Wow!
I love this clip. This is how I came to know about and adore Debbie Reynolds. So sad about her passing, she was so full of life and whit... Incidentally Zsa Zsa Gabor, whom she seems to be mimicking here, just died as well. Now we lost all connections to those golden days yore. RIP to all of you!
Since Zsa Zsa has been mentioned a couple of times already, I thought one of the panelists mentioned she thought it was an impression of Eva Gabor. Or did I hear wrong?
"If it's found under the bed, I think we all better go." Arlene gets me in trouble with my wife 57 years afterwards. Don't laught out loud at 2 in the morning, is what I'm saying.
@@kg4wwn Spinsters were said to look under the bed every night before they retired, in case a man was hiding there. But I still don't know what Arlene was referring to. I doubt it was sex toys, since in those days, no one would have related to the joke, because it wasn't a joke yet. Unfortunately, few of us were the least bit familiar with marital aids.
Absolutely tragic to out live your child, (Carrie Fisher), The stress of this tragedy caused yet another tragedy! We sure will miss both of these mother and daughter beauties!!
Is it known for a fact that the death of her daughter actually *caused* Miss Reynolds’s death? I would like to find out the source of this information, if so.
It truly touched my heart . How much Debbie Reynolds loved her daughter Carrie. But it was truly sad . She could not continue in this walk we call life without her daughter. But I pray these two are reunited again.
As a dance lover ( I can't sit still even for a moment )Debbie delivered along with Gene Kelly one of the best dancing performances of all times, in movies, of course ! I mean Good morning good morning certainly. She is still as fit as a fiddle, active, witty and sociable person !!! Good for you Ms. Reynolds. We love you !!!! Many happy returns. Long long live Debbie !!!!
Even 2023 - you look back at her, and just a PHENOMENAL human being. Can't think how any man could go out of their way to destroy her (and they all did).
They're now all gone--the five names listed above (Arlene Francis passed away in 2001, Eamonn Andrews who hosted a British version of 'Whats My Line?' in 1987--the year of his death; Dorothy Kilgallen of drug overdose in 1965, and Bennett Cerf in 1971). Yesterday we lost Debbie Reynolds as everyone should now know. And Carrie Fisher, too. RIP to all.
I always love the old shows like this one. Enjoyable entertainment with no worries of inappropriate language or content. The panel with Dorothy(a tragic story about her life) and of couse te lovely Ms. Francis. John Daly was a wonderful host. The humor was also a welcomed part of the show. So nice to see these classic episodes
Yes, it is indeed. I liked Dorothy when I first started watching this series on YT. Unfortunately, she died at the age of 50 and she was not popular with well know celebrities and a certain crooner.
One of the funniest Mystery Guest segments ever!! My mom babysat Mary Frances (Debbie's birth name) when the actress was a wee lass. Unfortunately, I wasn't born until many years later so never got to meet her. Even so, she has always been a FAVORITE of mine.
Ireland's own Eamonn Andrews, who presented the show on BBC. Debbie Reynolds appeared on the show 3 years earlier with Eddie Fisher when she was expecting their daughter Carrie, all sadly together again now.
I saw a clip of her on there when she was engaged, but she wasn't pregnant before she married. Eddy appeared at the end of her part of the show. Did she come on the next year too?
Amber I didn't really thinmk that anyone else other than you posted abou t Debbie Reynolds after her death last December. I loved her in Singing In The Rain okay.
This episode was so much fun! I love it when I find myself grinning from ear to ear! It feels good to get away from all the nastieness of the last hours of the 2020 election! What's My Line, your better than Calgon...lOl!!! ❤️
Debbie Reynolds appeared as a mystery guest several times and used more or less the same voice/shtick each time. The panel knew who it was after she spoke about 3 words. In recalling the series, Bennett Cerf admitted that they often strung out guests that they liked for entertainment value. Bennett also had lunch with everyone in the country at one time or another during his lifetime.
Debbie Reynolds is gorgeous, adorable and charming all rolled up in one. This is one of the best MG appearances in the history of the show. Those who thought it went on too long or didn't like it have NO idea what entertainment is or what WIT is, Their sense f wit is only half developed. Or maybe not even half developed.
I am picturing certain powers that be on WML breathing a sigh of relief after the first challenger that Bennett didn't make any comments to the effect that the first segment had been a real bust.
This was a really fun episode (?) from the get go. Dorothy revealec a more playful side thzt I haven't noticed before. Debbie Reynod's is such a wonderful "package" of beauty, wit, and intelligence. I can't fathom why anyone would divorce her. I wish I were born 25 years earlier, I would have married her in a heartbeat, and stayed faithful to her. Alas, that would mean I would have had to be my father's age, and have been doing something that would have brought me to her attention. Thank you so very much "What's My Line?" for all your behind the scenes labor (of love, no doubt) to bring these shows to another generation of viewers. This show is such a refreshing change of pace from the current crop of rowdy game shows. Your efforts are much appreciated.
W T Ju Debbie Reynolds had two rotten marriages. First to Eddie Fisher and, secondly, to a man named Harry Karl, who was involved in a shoe company. Mr. Fisher was an idiot who betrayed her and their children in front of the whole world. Mr. Karl, was much more nasty. He secretly pilfered al her money for years and when he died, she was surprised to find out that she was virtually penniless.
When the panel sang Happy Birthday to Bennett the owner of the copyright “earned” about $700. The dollar amount may have changed, but from 1935 till 2016 when the copyright claim was ruled invalid, singers of the Happy Birthday song had to pay royalties. How old were you in 2015 (not a typo)? Multiply by $700 and remit your payment.
I love when Debbie Reynolds is on the show she is one of the funniest guest the ever had. I so time think she would have been good as a stand up comic. I for one did have a problem with them let thing her drag on and on.
Looking back over my comment from seven years ago you can tell I really needed to review what I'm typing. What I was trying to say is that I believe Debbie would have been a great standup comic. I don't have a problem with them letting her go on and on.
I love the subscription on this channel? All the other WML, shows on other places don't give you air dates, whose on the panel, etc.... Yours is the best.
Eddie Fisher should have known that he wasn't going to keep Elizabeth satisfied; Elizabeth knew she wasn't going to be satisfied with him for more than a few yrs, if that. He was a dupe. The big loser was Debbie and their children.
In one recent interview a few years back, Debbie actually explained the difference between Zsa Zsa and Ava accents and did them both back to back. It was pretty impressive.

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said-“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
@z I AM now eighty years old and I still remember Debbie Reynolds after five decades .
Very few people have ever turned this game into a madhouse the way Debbie Reynolds did. She was absolutely, fantastically a riot!
There is an episode in the future of WML being advertised as Groucho destroys the show. It's dangerous to underestimate Groucho, but I can't imagine him breaking things up any better and any more charming than what Debbie Reynolds did during her turn at MG this night.

She was brilliant. The only other mystery guest who equalled her was Lucille Ball in 1954.
Correct. I think she was considered one of the top ten celebrity guests that era if Im not corrected.
An earlier appearance was even more fun - Debbie was the best.
This is probably one of the best episodes of the show. Really shows off Dorothy's intelligence, Arlene's wit and humor and the guests were all perfect and fun.

Both of her appearances, this one and 1954, were two of funniest episodes ever! Debbie was amazing and Arlene’s off the cuff comments are sooo funny!
This was a really fun episode (?) from the get go. Dorothy revealec a more playful side thzt I haven't noticed before.
Debbie Reynod's is such a wonderful "package" of beauty, wit, and intelligence. I can't fathom why anyone would divorce her. I wish I were born 25 years earlier, I would have married her in a heartbeat, and stayed faithful to her. Alas, that would mean I would have had to be my father's age, and have been doing something that would have brought me to her attention.
Thank you so very much "What's My Line?" for all your behind the scenes labor (of love, no doubt) to bring these shows to another generation of viewers. This show is such a refreshing change of pace from the current crop of rowdy game shows. Your efforts are much appreciated.
W T Ju Debbie Reynolds had two rotten marriages. First to Eddie Fisher and, secondly, to a man named Harry Karl, who was involved in a shoe company. Mr. Fisher was an idiot who betrayed her and their children in front of the whole world. Mr. Karl, was much more nasty. He secretly pilfered al her money for years and when he died, she was surprised to find out that she was virtually penniless.
I love people's sense of humor on this show. I think I might try it in real life.
I'm glad to say Miss Di Leo is still with us. And here's her bust of Sammy Davis Jr.: p3.liveauctioneers.com/872/66507/33811755_2_l.jpg
When the panel sang Happy Birthday to Bennett the owner of the copyright “earned” about $700. The dollar amount may have changed, but from 1935 till 2016 when the copyright claim was ruled invalid, singers of the Happy Birthday song had to pay royalties. How old were you in 2015 (not a typo)? Multiply by $700 and remit your payment.
I love when Debbie Reynolds is on the show she is one of the funniest guest the ever had. I so time think she would have been good as a stand up comic. I for one did have a problem with them let thing her drag on and on.
Looking back over my comment from seven years ago you can tell I really needed to review what I'm typing. What I was trying to say is that I believe Debbie would have been a great standup comic. I don't have a problem with them letting her go on and on.
I love the subscription on this channel? All the other WML, shows on other places don't give you air dates, whose on the panel, etc.... Yours is the best.
Eddie Fisher should have known that he wasn't going to keep Elizabeth
satisfied; Elizabeth knew she wasn't going to be satisfied with him for
more than a few yrs, if that. He was a dupe. The big loser was Debbie and their children.
1928gerry. NO ! The biggest loser was Eddie..
Please don't hate. I hate haters
Debbie did a great Zza Gabor and drove them up the wall. LOL
+John Tomasello Thanks for clarifying......however .....do you think most people can tell the difference between the voices of Zza Zza and Eva? :)
You're welcome. Have a nice day.
+John Tomasello "Inane"?
In one recent interview a few years back, Debbie actually explained the difference between Zsa Zsa and Ava accents and did them both back to back. It was pretty impressive.
@@sisterluke do you have a link or remember any more specifics about the interview? I'd love to see it!
No one is talking about the sculptress?? She is so gorgeous, wow, I wish I could look like her.
Back when showing appreciation for beautiful women was acceptable and there was a lot more class!
debbie was an absolute DOLL 😍😍😍
