16:26 Arlene smacking Bennett was such a hilarious moment! Poor guy always touches upon some critical piece of information, and then immediately proceeds to eliminate the wrong thing within the next few questions, haha
Please don't perpetuate this Studio press-agent fiction. Palance himself denied the truth of it. He never saw combat in WW2. Though he trained as a B-24 pilot, the crash that scarred his face occurred during a training flight over Arizona. His post-war career as a boxer furthered the disfigurement.
Palance was one of those rare performers who appeared on WML in the 50s, the 60s, the 70s. And he was one of those rare performers who got better with age. Whoever thought to cast him in "Believe it or Not" was a genius. And he earned his Oscar late in his career, not early.
I was at Jack and Elaine Palance's ranch in Tehachapi, California about 20 years ago doing a TV interview with him. A very humble and nice man who showed us his art during the break. After the interview, we sat in the kitchen while Jack made coffee.
Actors who have plied their trade at being villains are invariably the nicest people. My favourite villain has always been Dan Duryea. For years I hated Jack from his films Shane and The Silver Chalice, both of which I saw at the age of around 6 in the mid-fifties.
At around 11:00, Bennett references Irving "Swifty" Lazar. Lazar was a superagent in film and books, representing everyone from Humphrey Bogart to Cary Grant to Grace Kelly to Richard Nixon. A not very disguised version of him was a character in the Broadway show, "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" The actor who played the Lazar character on Broadway was Martin Gable
I read, in an old magazine, a profile of Fulton some years back, and thought he looked familiar when he walked out -- very interesting man and, yes, a talented painter.
Jack Palance was an amazing actor! One of my favorite movies was with Billy Crystal. He was a very funny guy! What a handsome man, and so very talented!
@@jamesholmen9725 Yes, I remember hearing about that. He was a fine actor... such a unique voice and wonderfully expressive face. He was especially effective as a "heavy," and I enjoyed his work in the many westerns he appeared in.
My mom used to hate Jack Palance until one day he was on Merv Griffins talk show. It was a theme show that day and the theme was macho male actors. Merv asked about their children. The first guy said "I don't have much to do with them the first year, they only cry and fill up diapers" the next two guys said "ditto" Jack Palance told them "boy are you missing out, you hold them and cuddle them and coo at them and one day they look up at you and they smile, and they are smiling at you, it is the most wonderful thing in the world.!" After that my mom thought Jack Palance was alright.
How many TV hosts today, on hearing the question, "Ma dov'è questa città, Filadelfia?," could respond "Sud," as John Daly did? Of course he was a war correspondent in Italy for a time in 1943, but the fact is he heard the question, in Italian, Where is this city, Philadelphia, he understood it, and he was able to answer it, a little imperfectly, but adequately. (He also understood very well indeed Peter Lawford's fine French.) Contrary to his protestations, Jack Palance's Italian was not at all bad; not perfect, but not bad by any means. I lived in Italy for more than 15 years and I remember being quite amazed at the number of stars who passed through (most from this TV era, however) who spoke very decent Italian, something you never would have known if you saw them only in the US.
orgonko the wildly untamed: He did. When he presented the Oscar to Ennio Morricone for his music, Morricone only spoke Italian and Clint translated for him.
If the panel had understood Italian they could have saved a question; after answering that he wasn't in a movie that was then playing in New York, he volunteered "but in a few weeks, yes" which they didn't catch, and had to ask later.
Jack Palance was a great actor when menace and brutality were called for. He was brilliant in the film: ‘Sign of the Pagan.’ Although he often played the tough villain, such as the gunslinger, ‘Wilson,’ in ‘Shane,’ he could also play patriotic, heroic parts as in the film, ‘Attack.’ I would like to have seen Jack Palance do more theatre work.
I hated Jack for years, purely from that evil Machiavellian sneer when he shot Elisha Cook in Shane. I was about 6 years old. I thought the film he had just made was "Five Warriors" (aka Army Of Five), the worst film he ever appeared in.
Walter Jack Palance spoke Italian rather well, at least his pronunciation was perfect. His early performance in Sudden Fear with Joan Crawford and his highly praised performance in SHANE was wonderfully impressive
WITH THE BULLFIGHTER: The panel was given a huge clue when the Mr Daly said in minute 4:55 "in this country, it wud not be considered..." Right there he implied he was most likely doing a FOREIGN ACTIVITY.
He did a number of very good movies over the years, including "Panic In The Streets" (which was his movie debut, by the way), "Halls of Montezuma," "Sudden Fear," "Shane," "Arrowhead," "Man In The Attic," "The Silver Chalice," "The Big Knife," "Kiss of Fire" (excellent film!), "Attack" (also outstanding), and "The Lonely Man" (in which Anthony Perkins plays his son, by the way) - and, later on, "The Professionals," "The Desperadoes," "The McMasters," "Monte Walsh," "Chato's Land," and "Young Guns."
There's a lot on the Web about the matador John Fulton. Arlene was brilliant and lovely as usual. I recommend you see Bar Dough in Contempt. You might see her dairy air.
"The Greatest Show on Earth" was a "one-season wonder"; it ran for 30 hour-long episodes on ABC during the 1963-1964 season. Jack Palance starred as Johnny Slate, who ran a traveling circus, and Stuart Erwin co-starred as Otto King, the circus's accountant. The 1963 film "Contempt" (original title: "Le mepris") was a French-Italian co-production, directed by Jean-Luc Godard (based on a novel by Alberto Moravia), but it was, indeed, shot entirely in Italy (in Rome and on the Isle of Capri). The five featured cast members are Brigitte Bardot, Michel Piccoli, Jack Palance, Giorgia Moll, and Fritz Lang (who plays himself). The film's original running time was 103 minutes, but it was later cut and re-edited down to 82 minutes. Jack Palance would return to series television in the mid-1970s, starring as Lt. Alex Bronkov, an Ocean City (California) police detective, on "Bronk," which ran for 25 hour-long episodes on CBS in the 1975-76 season. The series was created by Carroll O'Connor and Ed Waters. Palance's co-stars on the show were Henry Beckman, Tony King, Joseph Mascolo, and Dina Ousley (who played Bronk's crippled daughter, Ellen).
Crikey! Don't mess with Jack. Look at the size of him!! And to think Alan Ladd, his co-star in Shane, had to stand on a box to get in shot with his female co-stars. Would've been funny to see them stood side by side. :)
Jack Palance starred in a ton of European films (mostly in Italy). Everything from comedies, to dramas, to Spaghetti Westerns, to sword-and-sandal, and even erotic films, too.
Don't forget ANGELS' REVENGE, that deathless MST3K Classic... which, BTW, co-starred a somewhat splifficated Peter Lawford, Mystery Guest in the very next ep.
I'm SO glad you're in the minority over Bennet! Bennet happens to be the BEST male panelist on the show (ok, well it's a tie. I guess it wouldn't really be fair to choose between Bennet and Martin)
3:00 He said it was 86 degrees for the past 3 days. Now I know the temperature when I was born 3 days later and 30 miles away. And don't think they had AC back then or they wouldn't have mentioned it. 19:26 Jack Palance. His upcoming film was Godard's Contempt.
"Grazi" says Kilgallen, under her breath, to Palance. Others seem a little intimidated by (or even 'resentful of' in the case of Ludden) someone talking non-US lingo!!
WML loved bullfighters. Stay tuned -- in a few weeks, Gary will post the most memorable bullfighter sequence in WML. The bullfighter throws Groucho. No bull.
(the) Professionals is an Underrated Actiestern. (Action + Western). Love that Film. Never Noticed this (Subjective) observation before but I can see similarities with Henry Silva
All the contestants on this episode were named either John or Jack. Ordinarily, Jack would also be a nickname for John, though in Jack Palance's case, it apparently was not.
It was a rarity that all the guests were men. In all the years of WML, there were only a handful of times when the guests were all one sex. They deliberately planned to have at least one woman or one man as a guest in each episode.
How many people did Dorothy know that lost their address book from a Helicopter? What ever made her think to ask a guest that with so many no's to that question during WML's time.
She's thinking of Anthony Perkins who did lose his address book once while filming a movie. Ironically she did not ask the question when Anthony Perkins was the Mystery Guest.
I thought I had seen all of these, but YT has lately been showing me ones I haven't seen. Always fascinating to see who's sitting in what I call the "Allen Seat". That one seat between Dorothy and Arleen was first occupied by Fred Allen, and later by Steve Allen, and Marty Allen, and Woody Allen, and Allen Sherman, and here Allen Ludden. I think it has been occupied by an Allen more often than not.
dice due o tre parole italiane allora viveva in america e parlava quasi sempre in inglese nei film in qualche pellicola parlava italia no un po dispiace che sia scomparso da tempo qui dice sono un attore americano e poi basta
What's My Line? He does. Jack Palance answers YES to the question. I can't imagine why he would say that if it weren't so. Is it possible he was on an episode which has been lost?
Bennett Cerf: "Have you ever been on the panel of 'What's My Line?'" Jack Palance: "Ci credo una volta, già fatto molti, molti anni, sì" [I believe so, once, (then, in imperfet Italian:) a good many years ago, yes] Bennett Cerf: "I, I don't know what he said!" Palance: "Sì, sì!" John Daly: "Yes."
Did I hear correctly? When Arlene was talking about Allen Ludden's appearance in "Mr. President" during the introductions, did he say, "Get to Bennett"? If so, that was rather abrupt.
@@sandydog291 Not really abrupt. You need to pair it with her comment. She made a joke about him singing on stage later and he replied with, "Get to Bennett." It is a fairly reasonable way to dismiss her suggestion, though others may have given a token laugh first to soften the dismissal.
@@zarabada6125 I had completely forgotten about both the comment I had made, and didn't even remember it wasn't an actual comment but a reply agreeing with someone else who first thought it was abrupt, so I went back and watched it again. And, again, it struck me as both terse and abrupt. Pairing it with her comment only makes it more abrupt, she was trying to be, let's say jovial, as the intros often were on the show and as she always was. Yet he seemed to abruptly and tersely cut her off. We of course all have our own opinions and we don't have to agree but to me he sounded rude.
I just noticed this, but isn't Arlene *not* wearing her engagement/wedding ring? At least not on her left hand. I'm trying to remember, but I think I recall her always wearing her stunning ring/s on her left hand. Now I'm confused. That might be the combo on her right hand, but did anyone else notice this?
I'm sure it has been over 90 degrees farenheit in NYC many times over the years in July, so please, please don't drag up the Climate Change Hoax during myself getting away from the world 🌎 time. This show is my "Martini" after work show.
@@enriquesanchez2001 My great uncle was a boxer, but he was also very nervous until he got in the ring, then he was all into what he was doing. So that's how it works
@@JDAbelRN It sure does. Mr. Cerf was proof of that all by himself. His publishing company was very well known. My daughter had the book Green Eggs And Ham and I found out by watching one of the episodes that he was the publisher of many children's books. My daughter is 48 years old. You really can learn something new everyday. He also helped others make money by his publishing company I'd say.
@CARL MOBLEY - That is not what was being said or insinuated during the comments being made at the marked timestamp at all. In fact, the comments being made had absolutely *nothing* whatsoever to do with anyone's race. The comments being made were in regard of consumer products which were (back in the day when these shows were filmed) specifically designed and/or used by men *or* women. Times back then were not like today's times, where a person can identify themselves as being whatever sex they want to be recognized as - and can sue product manufactures (or whomever else) if they disagree. _That said, in these modern-day times, _*_racial hatred_*_ only exist within the pea-sized brains and imaginations of the colored folk like you; whom all need to justify their short comings in life. Shortcomings that were not caused by oppression or because some distant kinfolk a few hundred years ago was a slave. Your shortcomings in these modern-day times are direct result of your own lack of ambitions, motivations and determination to succeed - period!_
@CARL MOBLEY I did not say that either. My point was, back in that era of television, acceptance and/or recognition of those types of people were not as common as it is today. Television of that era was totally different in comparison, and if you would have seen two men or two-women kissing or having sex (like we see today) the entire network would have received huge fines and possibly even had the series pulled off the air. Now, I'm done debating this subject with you, because it's almost as if I'm fighting an unarmed man.
Where are they going is quo vadunt. The vadere verb (to go) goes (present): ego vado - I tu vadis - you ille vadit - he; nos vadīmus - we vos vadītis - you plural illi vadunt - they
Serious question here: Why are there so many bullfighters? Didn't most of them "fight" in Mexico? (I hate that term fighting since they're killing the bull slowly while teasing it). Do they fly up to NY just to do these shows? There are so many bullfighters and people who cut skins and ranch minks and stuff that -- well, I'm so glad we've gotten smart as to how cruel and horrible these so-called "professions" are. It breaks my heart to see this stuff as being acceptable.
+Merrida100 In general, the staff of WML looked for people with unusual professions or something with an unusual twist to it. Hispanic male bullfighter would not be that unusual, especially if from a country where bullfighting was known to take place or at least near the U.S. border with Mexico. Any woman bullfighter would be unusual. Any non-Hispanic male bullfighter would be unusual, especially if from areas not near the Mexican border. This particular challenger fit the bill perfectly. And if he lived in Philadelphia it wouldn't be much trouble for him to get to NYC when he was home in between bullfighting engagements.
Different strokes for different folks. Your beliefs, attitudes and values don't necessarily coincide with other people's beliefs from around the world, no matter what the "professors" taught you in college.
It was stupid (and rude) of John Daly to mispronounce Jack Palance’s last name (as pal-LANCE, rather than the correct PAL-lance). Mr. Palance had already been asked about his name by Mr. Daly on the 11/27/55 episode (at 7:25), and should have remembered. At least, he should have asked beforehand this time.
😢I am closer to sixty than fifty and my lips have never been touched by lipstick My single profile picture without any of it attracted a number of men's friends requests and without exception were praising my 💋 😂Great show I have been addicted to 😊
Fulton, the bull fighter. A "profession" that can't with any humane consideration be called an "art" as insinuated here. It symbolizes all the elements of a primitive macho dominance. The bullying of a bull leading to its death if he doesn't spear the bully first. This is what some people call this entertainment.
@@sp1midholm that it’s regarded as “an art form” is exactly what’s so intolerable. The art world itself should see this definition as an opportunity to hurl a death defying thrust once and for all disclaiming bull fighting’s legitimacy as a product of the art world. As for Daley’s defense of it as art, he made that statement some 60 years ago. Before public consciousness was raised about many cultural standards and traditions that came to be reevaluated in the context of enlightenment thinking.
God,....Dorothy and her bleeping "lhave you ever lost your address book in a helicopter" question. I wonder if her co-stars ever got annoyed by that particular question?
+Tabo Racho, not at all. She called for a conference and was granted one. 9:28 . And told Allen as he was the next questioner she had the feeling he is a bull fighter.

Sorry that they didn't mention that Jack Palace was a critically wounded WW II bomber pilot. I thank him for his service and sacrifice.
Thanks for sharing.
Jack Palance
Please don't perpetuate this Studio press-agent fiction. Palance himself denied the truth of it. He never saw combat in WW2. Though he trained as a B-24 pilot, the crash that scarred his face occurred during a training flight over Arizona. His post-war career as a boxer furthered the disfigurement.

You mean he was not extraordinary in "Shane"?
He was marvellous as the arch villain in "Shane" - knight errant Alan Ladd, perfect, and his nemesis, Palance, also perfect.
Jack Palance was brilliant in City Slickers.
I was at Jack and Elaine Palance's ranch in Tehachapi, California about 20 years ago doing a TV interview with him. A very humble and nice man who showed us his art during the break. After the interview, we sat in the kitchen while Jack made coffee.

She’s seeking acclaim, kinda sad
I wonder who she was talking about here
As a bona fide Italian (from Italy, not US), I have to say his pronunciation of Italian is really pretty good... with South Italian undertones! 🤣
He grew up in Drums, Pennsylvania, an Italian-dominated portion of the coal region.
Would you agree with me that Italians are loud?
@@dnhy7951 NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@tonypanzarella9387 No offence but can't stand them.

Came for Jack Palance and received triple treat! Great show w/lots of giggles!
I recognized Fulton's name right away. I've walked past his art studio in Sevilla, Spain. I think it was closed.
At around 11:00, Bennett references Irving "Swifty" Lazar. Lazar was a superagent in film and books, representing everyone from Humphrey Bogart to Cary Grant to Grace Kelly to Richard Nixon.

@@jamesholmen9725 Yes, I remember hearing about that. He was a fine actor... such a unique voice and wonderfully expressive face. He was especially effective as a "heavy," and I enjoyed his work in the many westerns he appeared in.
Excellent Italian - Never knew he spoke it so well
He spent most of the late 70's in Italy, making at least 4 films there.. he loved Italy.
I believe he spoke Ukrainian, Russian, French, Spanish, and Italian- very talented!
Love the way Arlene gives Bennett a good slapping and he reacts like a little boy.
It's rare to see Arlene without a warm smile on her face, so the (playfully) angry expression was a fun change of pace!

Walter Jack Palance spoke Italian rather well, at least his pronunciation was perfect.
His early performance in Sudden Fear with Joan Crawford and his highly praised performance in SHANE was wonderfully impressive
Arlene Bennet and John C what great dinner guests they would have been!
There wouldn't be an opportunity for anyone else to get a word in!
Jack Palance was really good at playing really bad guys, like Voltan in Hawk the Slayer.
WITH THE BULLFIGHTER: The panel was given a huge clue when the Mr Daly said in minute 4:55 "in this country, it wud not be considered..." Right there he implied he was most likely doing a FOREIGN ACTIVITY.
I liked Palance in "Panic in the Streets", "Batman", and as "Dracula" on television. (And yes, Chuck Palahniuk is a distant relative of his.)
He did a number of very good movies over the years, including "Panic In The Streets" (which was his movie debut, by the way), "Halls of Montezuma," "Sudden Fear," "Shane," "Arrowhead," "Man In The Attic," "The Silver Chalice," "The Big Knife," "Kiss of Fire" (excellent film!), "Attack" (also outstanding), and "The Lonely Man" (in which Anthony Perkins plays his son, by the way) - and, later on, "The Professionals," "The Desperadoes," "The McMasters," "Monte Walsh," "Chato's Land," and "Young Guns."

Jack Palance in erotic films?!? Well, I'm not going to sleep again tonight with that thought planted. . . ;)

Dorothy should have been fluent in Italian, since she practically lived at the Copacabana nightclub which was owned by the Mafia.
22:18 Another great Dorothy non sequitur: "Did you ever lose your address book out of a helicopter?"
She asked this whenever she got the notion that the mystery guest was Tony Perkins.
Ah, that explains it! So Perkins really did lose an address book out of a helicopter?

She never asked Anthony that question on WML. But she asked a number of non-Anthonys.

It was a rarity that all the guests were men. In all the years of WML, there were only a handful of times when the guests were all one sex. They deliberately planned to have at least one woman or one man as a guest in each episode.
He made a joke once that his parents were alligators.
How many people did Dorothy know that lost their address book from a Helicopter? What ever made her think to ask a guest that with so many no's to that question during WML's time.
She's thinking of Anthony Perkins who did lose his address book once while filming a movie. Ironically she did not ask the question when Anthony Perkins was the Mystery Guest.
I thought I had seen all of these, but YT has lately been showing me ones I haven't seen. Always fascinating to see who's sitting in what I call the "Allen Seat". That one seat between Dorothy and Arleen was first occupied by Fred Allen, and later by Steve Allen, and Marty Allen, and Woody Allen, and Allen Sherman, and here Allen Ludden. I think it has been occupied by an Allen more often than not.
Steve Allen, then Fred Allen
Volodimir Palhanyuk. Ukrainsiy. Requiem for a Heavyweight was the concept stolen by Sylvester Stallone for Rocky.
God....Dorothy and her stupid address book question always drives me nuts.
Jack è stato grande !
dice due o tre parole italiane allora viveva in america e parlava quasi sempre in inglese nei film in qualche pellicola parlava italia no un po dispiace che sia scomparso da tempo qui dice sono un attore americano e poi basta
@gcjerryusc yes very good actor
jack palance was born in 1919 in pennsylvania.
Born Volodymyr Jack Palahniuk (of Ukrainian ancestry) on 18 February 1919 in Lattimer Mines, Pennsylvania, to be exact.
That would explain the name change...... That one would be hell to fit on a poster or marque.
Jack Palance actually was never on the WML panel.
He appeared once on Syndicated WML as MG in 1973.
I'm sorry, Vahan, I must be missing something. Did someone claim that Jack Palance was on the panel? If so, the comment is no longer here.
What's My Line? He does. Jack Palance answers YES to the question. I can't imagine why he would say that if it weren't so. Is it possible he was on an episode which has been lost?
What's My Line? Jack himself said it in answer to a question from Bennett, I do believe.
Bennett Cerf: "Have you ever been on the panel of 'What's My Line?'" Jack Palance: "Ci credo una volta, già fatto molti, molti anni, sì" [I believe so, once, (then, in imperfet Italian:) a good many years ago, yes] Bennett Cerf: "I, I don't know what he said!" Palance: "Sì, sì!" John Daly: "Yes."
romeman01 Justin McLeod ***** Ah, of course, yes. And to think I just watched this episode two days ago! Thanks for explaining this.
Incredible in Simon the magician
Did I hear correctly? When Arlene was talking about Allen Ludden's appearance in "Mr. President" during the introductions, did he say, "Get to Bennett"? If so, that was rather abrupt.
I think you are right, twice. Sounded like he did say that and if so that was abrupt.
@@sandydog291 Not really abrupt. You need to pair it with her comment.
She made a joke about him singing on stage later and he replied with, "Get to Bennett." It is a fairly reasonable way to dismiss her suggestion, though others may have given a token laugh first to soften the dismissal.
@@zarabada6125 I had completely forgotten about both the comment I had made, and didn't even remember it wasn't an actual comment but a reply agreeing with someone else who first thought it was abrupt, so I went back and watched it again. And, again, it struck me as both terse and abrupt. Pairing it with her comment only makes it more abrupt, she was trying to be, let's say jovial, as the intros often were on the show and as she always was. Yet he seemed to abruptly and tersely cut her off. We of course all have our own opinions and we don't have to agree but to me he sounded rude.
Oh lord..another bullfighter....how many is that ??
John Fulton RIP February 1998
*_BULLFIGHTER_*
*_DEVELOPS AND TESTS CANDY FLAVORED LIPSTICKS_*
I'm a little baffled by Allen Ludden being referred to as a matinee idol, because he wasn't, not even at the time. (Very good game show host, yes...)
I'm guessing it was a reference to his shows being of the daytime variety.
Allen Ludden will always be remembered for hosting Password.
How many times did they invite a bullfighter in the show, I suspect it was the most used profession, wasn't it?
Sdk ElMaruecan And how many times horse blankets and cow blankets , blankets in general too !!!
Garbage truck drivers were also very frequent.
,,*o:taph/
,*
and big game hunters, white hunters, etc.
I just noticed this, but isn't Arlene *not* wearing her engagement/wedding ring? At least not on her left hand. I'm trying to remember, but I think I recall her always wearing her stunning ring/s on her left hand. Now I'm confused. That might be the combo on her right hand, but did anyone else notice this?
Why did Ludden always come out onto a stage looking like he was shocked and almost didn’t know where he was?
I know what you mean. A perpetual ‘surprise’look, yes.
Them cooking in 80 degree weather, and now we cook in 90 degree weather. Smh
But no AC then
I'm sure it has been over 90 degrees farenheit in NYC many times over the years in July, so please, please don't drag up the Climate Change Hoax during myself
getting away from the world 🌎 time. This show is my "Martini" after work show.
@@JDAbelRN Imo, global warming is foolishness. That being said, Enjoy your after work show.😉
@@genacunningham1731 how did they dress in suits with no AC?
I think that Arlene and Dorothy are psychic. 😄🌞☘
Exactly, they knew who he was the whole time.
Mr. Fulton doesn't look like he wants to be there. At first he looks like he's ready for a bull fight.
He was nervous, come on!
@@enriquesanchez2001 My great uncle was a boxer, but he was also very nervous until he got in the ring, then he was all into what he was doing. So that's how it works
@@joycejean-baptiste4355 That is how I understood it.
@@enriquesanchez2001 Got it!
24:16 Bennett Cerf being his usual smarmy self.
Amazing the self promotion and advertising the panel do for each other.
"Money makes the World 🌎 go round ".
@@JDAbelRN It sure does. Mr. Cerf was proof of that all by himself. His publishing company was very well known. My daughter had the book Green Eggs And Ham and I found out by watching one of the episodes that he was the publisher of many children's books. My daughter is 48 years old. You really can learn something new everyday. He also helped others make money by his publishing company I'd say.
Bar none. No argument. Jack Wilson is the Zeus of all gunfighters. Prove it.
I think Mr. Fulton was blushing when Arlene called him an Englishman.
Why so much hate for Bull fighters?
Can you guess?
@@sidhayes6168 you need to start worrying about abused humans first.
@@slipper409 like you?
@@sidhayes6168 if the need is there. I would.
17:33 -- man you know this was filmed back in the day - back when men were still men and women were still women.
@CARL MOBLEY - That is not what was being said or insinuated during the comments being made at the marked timestamp at all. In fact, the comments being made had absolutely *nothing* whatsoever to do with anyone's race. The comments being made were in regard of consumer products which were (back in the day when these shows were filmed) specifically designed and/or used by men *or* women. Times back then were not like today's times, where a person can identify themselves as being whatever sex they want to be recognized as - and can sue product manufactures (or whomever else) if they disagree.
_That said, in these modern-day times, _*_racial hatred_*_ only exist within the pea-sized brains and imaginations of the colored folk like you; whom all need to justify their short comings in life. Shortcomings that were not caused by oppression or because some distant kinfolk a few hundred years ago was a slave. Your shortcomings in these modern-day times are direct result of your own lack of ambitions, motivations and determination to succeed - period!_
@CARL MOBLEY I did not say that either. My point was, back in that era of television, acceptance and/or recognition of those types of people were not as common as it is today. Television of that era was totally different in comparison, and if you would have seen two men or two-women kissing or having sex (like we see today) the entire network would have received huge fines and possibly even had the series pulled off the air. Now, I'm done debating this subject with you, because it's almost as if I'm fighting an unarmed man.
We still are 🤪
And men were clean shaven..
"Whither goest thou?" is NOT Quo vadas but Quo Vadis.
Quo vadas means "where are they going?"
Yes...
Where are they going is quo vadunt. The vadere verb (to go) goes (present): ego vado - I
tu vadis - you
ille vadit - he;
nos vadīmus - we
vos vadītis - you plural
illi vadunt - they
Serious question here: Why are there so many bullfighters? Didn't most of them "fight" in Mexico? (I hate that term fighting since they're killing the bull slowly while teasing it). Do they fly up to NY just to do these shows? There are so many bullfighters and people who cut skins and ranch minks and stuff that -- well, I'm so glad we've gotten smart as to how cruel and horrible these so-called "professions" are. It breaks my heart to see this stuff as being acceptable.
+Merrida100
In general, the staff of WML looked for people with unusual professions or something with an unusual twist to it. Hispanic male bullfighter would not be that unusual, especially if from a country where bullfighting was known to take place or at least near the U.S. border with Mexico. Any woman bullfighter would be unusual. Any non-Hispanic male bullfighter would be unusual, especially if from areas not near the Mexican border.
This particular challenger fit the bill perfectly. And if he lived in Philadelphia it wouldn't be much trouble for him to get to NYC when he was home in between bullfighting engagements.
As stated on the show, he is a bullfighter in Spain and Mexico.
Different strokes for different folks. Your beliefs, attitudes and values don't necessarily coincide with other people's beliefs from around the world, no matter what the "professors" taught you in college.
Is it my imagination or does Arlene open at some regional theatre every second episode?
She was one busy lady, all right.
Or she closed a lot of plays LOL :o)
It was stupid (and rude) of John Daly to mispronounce Jack Palance’s last name (as pal-LANCE, rather than the correct PAL-lance). Mr. Palance had already been asked about his name by Mr. Daly on the 11/27/55 episode (at 7:25), and should have remembered. At least, he should have asked beforehand this time.
I think you’re being a little hard on him….
Since you were not backstage before the beginning of this episode, I doubt you are in any position to comment on the reasons Mr. Daly did anything.
@@ChooseWisely62 - No worse a position than you…
Geez Arlene lovet ALL MEN 😜
do you ever wonder why Daly doesn't look at the camera...?
He frequently has to look up and to the right to see a studio clock to make sure the time alloted for each guest doesn't make a live show run over.
His last name rhymes with "balance." not "enhance."
😢I am closer to sixty than fifty and my lips have never been touched by lipstick
My single profile picture without any of it attracted a number of men's friends requests and without exception were praising my 💋 😂Great show I have been addicted to 😊
Its just one thing
People were far Less fat than today..just shows the generational effect of junk food consumption
And plus being more sedentary
Sitting around eating crap and looking crap. Just what the authorities want.
Most people smoked back then.
How was bullfighting considered a service or the arts?
Bullfighting is disgusting.
Jack Palance’s Italian was very impressive! I’ll have to Google and see if he has any Italian background.
Bennett. Squaw. Shudder. Lawz.
😡
1st guest: looks a bit like Jack & 2nd guest: wouldn't mind having his job
And Billy Crystal's description of Curly (Palance) as being a saddlebag with eyes.
Em inglês e impossível
Fulton, the bull fighter. A "profession" that can't with any humane consideration be called an "art" as insinuated here. It symbolizes all the elements of a primitive macho dominance. The bullying of a bull leading to its death if he doesn't spear the bully first. This is what some people call this entertainment.
But as John Daly said, it is indeed regarded as an art form in Spain, regardless of your feelings about it.
@@sp1midholm that it’s regarded as “an art form” is exactly what’s so intolerable. The art world itself should see this definition as an opportunity to hurl a death defying thrust once and for all disclaiming bull fighting’s legitimacy as a product of the art world. As for Daley’s defense of it as art, he made that statement some 60 years ago. Before public consciousness was raised about many cultural standards and traditions that came to be reevaluated in the context of enlightenment thinking.
How racist of you to disparage the Latinx culture of Mexico and Spain.
@@geraldkatz7986 not all societal traditions are worthy of respect. Wherever on the globe they are found.
God,....Dorothy and her bleeping "lhave you ever lost your address book in a helicopter" question. I wonder if her co-stars ever got annoyed by that particular question?
John Fuentes. it's smaller than a bread box..
She was always asking that sort of silly question to convey how "in" she was, instead of simply guessing a person by name.
They were "cooking at 86 degrees." I guess global warming hadn't started yet.
16:21
Again a bull fighter... My goodness... Not nice
I fast forward bill fighters and dog catchers.
Calm your skin down. Get over it.
God......argh....her and her "address book" question....I cringe every time I hear her ask it.
John Fuentes. She might be searching for the owner of a book in her possession.

Very rude of Arlene to open her mouth to guess the bullfighter before her turn
+Tabo Racho, not at all. She called for a conference and was granted one. 9:28 . And told Allen as he was the next questioner she had the feeling he is a bull fighter.
They had called for a conference.
She cheated, though, by fishing for a clap from the audience (which she got) without having to waste an actual guess.
Not as rude as calling slaughtering an innocent animal “an art”
P
