Yes, it's mind boggling. He received some bad reviews as President, but he did more for foreign policy and relations than any other President in history.
Yeah that lady picked up on that right away! I think a lot of ministers/pastors/priests/deacon carry that quality with them, especially back in the day. The modern mega-church rock concert pastor....not so much.
I was 15 the year he ran for president. And within a few weeks of seeing him on TV I knew that he had a spiritual quality. I became the biggest Carter aficionado imaginable. I knew the most obscure trivia about him. Although I became a Republican later on in life, I have pleasant memories of my days of "Carter-mania!" RIP Jimmy.
Jimmy Carter helped so many people and kept working. His faith got him over 100 years old. Morally , he meant well for everyone. It was just a tough time in our country with inflation , Middle East , but he earned the Nobel Peace Prize. Nice to see re-run of great tv show. RIP 🙏
I'm gonna miss Jimmy Carter he was a very humble man full of humility wisdom and grace after his presidency he worked for humanity building homes for habitat other various causes.He left us on The 29 December 2024 May "GOD " bless his beautiful soul. He will be missed, yet never forgotten.
Jimmy Carter was one of three people who would appear on What's My Line before becoming president. The other two were Gerald Ford who was a mystery guest when he was House Minority Leader and Ronald Reagan who was both a mystery guest and a panelist when he was an actor.
Huh? He lived to 100. He wasn't taken suddenly. He would have no problem with this being aired just after his death. Just look at his attitude and demeanor in this clip. Relaxed and chilled.
@@mikegilbert2500huh? People are celebrating Jimmy Carter and his 100 year life, with some sadness but this is more celebratory. What’s the deal bro? Chill out
No person is infallible, but some of the smears against Pres Carter that have been written and televised since his death are reprehensible. He was president for 4 years, but he devoted his life to serving humanity. May he and Rosalyn rest together peacefully, for eternity❤
I have to agree with you. I was just reading that he spent his last years building his library and working in his office in it. He met with important people there, wrote his memoirs and conducted tours. But from a humanitarian level like that of Carter he did very little.
Heartfelt gratitude for having something to be proud of being born in Georgia. Thank you! You have always been a man of principle, honor , intelligence and integrity.
It's an awesome movie and obviously the process of making a movie brings money into the economy. But id say the net effect a movie like Deliverance would have on tourism would be more than those positive features.
You’d think he’d be recognized by one of the panelists, but without the 24 hour news cycle, which didn’t exist in 1973, I guess it’s not too surprising 🤷🏻♂️
Gene Shalit and Dana Valery are both still with us, not sure about everyone else. Gene is only a couple years younger than Jimmy Carter, he's 98 now, and Lavery is 80 years old.
Sales died in 2009 (aged 83). Arlene Francis died in 2001 (aged 93). Larry Blyden, the host, was killed in a car accident in June 1975; he was just 49.
@@sweetpurple8812Nah, I just looked Larry Blyden up and he died weeks before he was to turn 50. Objectively that is way too young too die. So the "just" is justified.
He was on the cover of time, magazine shortly after being elected governor. It was about the new South with the caption, “Dixie whistles a different tune.”
Gene Shalit was the first Today Show staff member to interview the 39th president. I wonder if Today ever played a clip of this after Jimmy's election in '76.
"What's My Line" was the first thing some of us knew Larry Blyden for. I didn't see his "Twilight Zone" episodes 'til way later. Both his characters were thise that came up on the short end.
I never even heard of Jimmy Carter until I was in10th grade sometime in the winter of 1976 when I heard he had kind of won the Iowa caucus (behind None of the Above) and was amazed that he had steamrolled all of the Establishment candidates that spring. I recall his chief early opponents were Sen. Scoop Jackson of Washington State, Rep. Mo Udall of Arizona and George Wallace, the ex-governor of Alabama.
It was indeed very misleading in an understated sort of way. Jimmy Carter was a living epitome of Service. He publicly set the gold standard example of Kindness and Compassion to people less fortunate than himself in (as of yet) our most modern time.
When the world wasn't so "video saturated. " Imagine today with three major all news channels, instant and ubiquitous social media, and a politically obsessed society a panel not recognizing a U.S. Governor.
Died of his injuries on June 6, 1975 at the age of 49 In Morocco after driving off the road and flipping his car. Just 17 days short of his 50th birthday.
They used the blindfolds only during the mystery guest segment when the person was very famous. Carter didn't have national fame yet, but it's possible the panelists might have been familiar with his name, which is why he just signed in as X.
We've just unearthed another startling discovery. Even though Jimmy Carter was first the Georgia governor in What's my Line. I paid very little attention to this TV game show when I was a little kid. 😳 😕 😐 😬 😂 🙄 😳
If he had just stayed in Georgia, the soldiers would not have died in Iran, and the US citizen hostages would not have be kept for a year plus inflation would have been a lot less‼️ He should have stuck to game shows a natural with that fake cheesy grin❗️🤠👈
It was interesting that she picked that up. But he had "lust in heart" as he admitted in the 1976 Playboy interview which almost cost him the election lol
For context, this was amid the Watergate controversy, and since Gov. Carter was a Democrat who wasn't a D.C. insider, a hapless Gerald Ford had no defense against him.
It was actually a close election. Not a blowout as you might think or what your comment might suggest. Having said that Carter was a bit of a rock star at the time among the hippies and celebrities
This show is so old. I wasn't even born. I've only seen the much more older clips. But how would they not know it was him? Their eyes weren't covered. They used to cover their eyes in the older clips.
People make such a big deal out of him not being recognized, but to be honest even with todays 24/7 news I'm "into politics" and I couldn't identify half of the current U.S. governors by sight. There are 50 after all. Can you? Also suits were a lot more common back then- even the panelists have them on. Today they make people think of politicians a lot more because almost everyone else is in scrougewear. Although Fetterman is trying to bust that too, lol
After the craziness of the Vietnam war Americans were tired of a dysfunctional government. Jimmy Carter entered the political arena with a fresh narrative and it was genuine. We later learned he was a great humanitarian and not presidential material.
"Deliverance" is NOT the movie I'd want associated with me or my state. "Longest Yard" might be different, but it is still not the movie that depicts the state in a good light.
Yeah, especially now when ppl just associate Deliverance w/killer hillbillies lol...the broader theme of humanity destroying nature has been lost. Back then it was a big deal for any state to get movie business, so it was something to 'brag' about, plus it is right up the alley of those on the panel
@@blindriv3rwhat's funny is if you lived in Atlanta back then, you were sort of oblivious to that backwoods culture. Which is basically the premise of Deliverance, 4 Atlanta businessmen in culture shock as they venture into north Georgia boondocks
Hes the governer of the state of Georgia, how is it since they are sitting there in this version looking at him that nobody recognizes him. I didn't know this show went on for that long in the old days the 50s they used to blindfold people which seems a better way to go about it.
Well at the time she was very young, still in her 20s, so maybe she didn't understand that kind of decorum to stand up for a governor. Today she's 80 years old, so of course she would, but back then she was the kid on the panel.
His presidency could have been far more consequential if he didn't have the OPEC embargo and the Iranian revolution. The Camp David Accords were not enough to change the voters oerception about him being too soft in troubled times.
You failed to mention some of his extreme communist tendencies like carrying his own luggage, walking amongst the crowd during the inauguration to be seen as a "man of the people" and selling the Sequoia, the Presidential Yacht because he considered it a "trapping of Imperialism", a phrase which Fidel Castro and Soviets used many a time. Wearing a sweater while freezing in the white house further added to an image of a weakened, fragile, and soft President. He rejection of "consumerism" fully secured his getting trounced in a massive landslide in 1980. Consumerism went on and still goes on and Carter was told that in the 1990s and he just shrugged his shoulders. A horrible President he was. But had a glorious post Presidency.
Camp David was a joke. We are still, to this very day, paying both Israel and Egypt to the tune of BILLIONS of tax dollars every year in order for them to remain at "peace" with each other. He sold us out!
49 years old here, and 51 years left to live. Crazy to think he wasn’t even halfway through his life yet here
Yes, it's mind boggling. He received some bad reviews as President, but he did more for foreign policy and relations than any other President in history.
He was young middle aged here.
WOW!!!
avoid carbohydrates, processed food & vegetable oils, and read Mark Hyman's book "Young Forever"
May President Carter RIP from a long time fan in Western Canada!
I am sure he had many fans not only in Western Canada .but .in fact coast to coast
He had such a warm smile. 100 years, a long life well lived… RIP.
a great, great man.
I liked his personality. He was moral.
He covered up the assassination of JFK when he sat on the Warren Commission
Yeah,I agree
I met him at a book signing in Toronto in 1987. Very nice person with a huge smile. Heaven has a new angel.
Good tribute to Jimmy Carter.
YES...Jimmy Carter did have a spiritual quality!
Yeah that lady picked up on that right away! I think a lot of ministers/pastors/priests/deacon carry that quality with them, especially back in the day. The modern mega-church rock concert pastor....not so much.
I was 15 the year he ran for president. And within a few weeks of seeing him on TV I knew that he had a spiritual quality. I became the biggest Carter aficionado imaginable.

Well maybe we'll see about that.
Amazing. Three years later he was elected president.
I'd say, what a shame 3yrs later he was elected President.
Jimmy Carter helped so many people and kept working. His faith got him over 100 years old. Morally , he meant well for everyone. It was just a tough time in our country with inflation , Middle East , but he earned the Nobel Peace Prize. Nice to see re-run of great tv show. RIP 🙏

Thank you so much for not saying it was a Fun fact, because normally they're not fun. But yours was informative.
Interesting, they were all sequential presidents!
Reagan was on the original show
@@mr.fahrenheit7009 okay
i recall this show having people blindfolded
Carter was a great humanitarian. Always in service to others. Thank you for your service.
Except when he said if you didn't vote for Obama then you're r@c1sT
Had to watch this today, just seemed appropriate the day after his passing on

Aired December 13, 1973.
I was 5 months old when that aired! 😆
@@rickisaak66 I was 10 1/2 years old when it aired.
President Carter was one of those rarest of creatures: an honest politician.

Carter was a better president than given credit for😊
What a wonderful presence Jimmy had. Note she caught his spiritual aspect, which always came through.
The way he turns to the camera and smiles when he says, "Are you a government official of any kind" killed me lol
This was fascinating to watch. May God comfort the Carter family. My sincerest condolences.
Fantastic person
He set the standard for the post presidency
Yeah, post presidency meddling. Not a good look.
No, Harry Truman did
Truman was a great president but I have to ask, what did he do post presidency?
@@RobertMelman-s4j I don't believe he did a damned thing
I have to agree with you. I was just reading that he spent his last years building his library and working in his office in it.
He met with important people there, wrote his memoirs and conducted tours. But from a humanitarian level like that of Carter he did very little.
He was too good a human being for American politics
Well said.
That is a rare gem of his pre-presidential appearances. He certainly fooled the panelists!!!! RIP Jimmy.
R.I.P JIMMY. I met him when I was a little girl in the second grade. Such a nice man.
Was blessed to see him close up in person when he was president. RIH SIR! .
5:23 what a piece of foreshadowing with the energy question
Heartfelt gratitude for having something to be proud of being born in Georgia. Thank you! You have always been a man of principle, honor , intelligence and integrity.
The host Larry Blyden died before Carter became president. 5:26 Governor Carter seems proud that a film like Deliverance was filmed in Georgia!
Not the movie I'd want associated with me or my state.
It's an awesome movie and obviously the process of making a movie brings money into the economy. But id say the net effect a movie like Deliverance would have on tourism would be more than those positive features.
It's a classic.
Famous movie and Broadway star. He did in a car accident.
The world really was different before cable TV and the internet, huh?
Thank you, Mr. President, for everything. #RIPJimmyCarter

Rest in peace. Wonderful to see this.
He was smart to use TV before running for president.
whats my line i like that show i wish they would bring it back
Soupies hair 😍
Shallerts hair! Chewfro 😂
I was wondering when you were gonna share this episode!
you will never see an honest man in the white house, but Jimmy beat the odds if even for one term.
He was on the cover of time, magazine shortly after being elected governor. It was about the new South with the caption, “Dixie whistles a different tune.”
RIP Mr. President!! Thank you for your service to our country!!
An amazing American.
What a Gentleman
My first and best vote was for Jimmy Carter.
Good show from yesteryear!
Wow, so that's why so many movies and TV shows are made in Georgia. Had no idea it went back that far.
All government officials are supposed to provide a service.
Gene Shalit was the first Today Show staff member to interview the 39th president. I wonder if Today ever played a clip of this after Jimmy's election in '76.
The only politician i made an effort to see in person. RIP.

It was indeed very misleading in an understated sort of way. Jimmy Carter was a living epitome of Service. He publicly set the gold standard example of Kindness and Compassion to people less fortunate than himself in (as of yet) our most modern time.
Serving in an elected office is a form of public service. It's only "misleading" if one equates all "service" as customer service or the like.
That show had broad categories, they couldn't say he produced a specific thing, etc
Probably should have said he was a public figure
@@iamcimos3567@iamcimos3567 He was vague, but it was more for security purposes, which is understandable.
My goodness that was Soupy Sales! Along with Gene Shalit who is still with us as of today
He was a salt of the earth man being he was a farmer
A great human!! RIP Mr President!!!
When the world wasn't so "video saturated. " Imagine today with three major all news channels, instant and ubiquitous social media, and a politically obsessed society a panel not recognizing a U.S. Governor.
I doubt if most of us would recognize many of the governors. How many people knew Tim Walz until five or six months ago?
that panel had know idea the were quizing a future president
i lived during his presidency; a bad president but an outstanding humanitarian.

I am happy he is back with his wife.
OH my God! Just by looking at his teeth you'd know who he was.
Rest in Peace: Jimmy Carter, how I would love to see 100 before I die.

RIP Mr President at 100th years old a life Well spent 🙏 😢 😔
Interesting that she detected something spiritual about him.
It was interesting that she picked that up. But he had "lust in heart" as he admitted in the 1976 Playboy interview which almost cost him the election lol

Gene Shalit is still alive. Outliving Jimmy Carter
Well he's younger lol .. even if by a month or a year or two, he's still younger

How do you lose to Jimmy Carter? Be Gerald Ford. Not exactly an exciting election.
Nobody knew who he was but was president less than 4 years later.
And elected less than 3 years later.
Nobody knew who Barack Obama was 18 months prior to him being elected. Apparently, the less people know about a candidate, the better.
This show is so old. I wasn't even born. I've only seen the much more older clips. But how would they not know it was him? Their eyes weren't covered. They used to cover their eyes in the older clips.
Because Carter was a virtual unknown (except for in Georgia) at that time. Few people could recognize him when he first ran for president.
"We cut down 300 departments to fifteen..." Musk on hearing this: "Get me this guy!! Damn, just a bit too late."
At this point he was governor of Georgia none of.f them panelists could not recognize him immediately ?
When he was fab!
And Gene Shalit is STILL alive.
