Pat Boone proved conclusively that you could be a big Hollywood star and still have some morals. Pity more people in Hollywood today don't learn that lesson from him. I have been a fan for pretty much all of my life. I was 10 years old when I became a fan because I LOVED "Love Letters in the Sand" and that is still my favorite song by him. He is currently 89 years old and is still going strong!
Connie Francis is a brave , courageous star with morals also . In the late 1960s , she payed her own way to travel to Viet Nam to entertain and boost the morale of our real heroes , our American soldiers . While there , Connie performed the most important concert of all time , singing God Bless America , and 25 thousand soldiers sang along with her . Connie should have gotten the Presidential Medal of Freedom ! And i agree , Pat and Debby Boone are very moral celebrities .
I was shocked that Bennett didn't know that the past participle of drink was drunk, as in "can this product be drunk?" Of all people Bennett should know that.
I have learned so much from Pat. So much more to go. I was so lucky to meet Pat and Shirley in 1962. They were the nicest people and not snobbish.. I still cry when I think of Shirley. She was a special lady.
When I was born, Pat had already scored several top ten hits and had his own tv show. Now, I am retired and collecting retirement benefits and Pat is still going strong. I love it!

Hedy was not a scientist, but was an inventor. She thought of the concept radio frequency skipping to defeat jamming of radio controlled torpedoes and helped improve airplane aerodynamics, but left the science and engineering implementation to others
Hedy Lamarr's inventive insights with pianist George Antheil were not used in WW2 because the Navy was suspicious of her patriotism and loyalties which was ridiculous because as an Austrian Jew she could not return home during WW2.. So her loyalties obviously did not lie with Nazi controlled Austria.
Interesting, Hedy Lamarr was an inventor that helped in the scientific field. She had expert knowledge that the scientific community in the field of her endeavor could put into use in putting together the invention that she invented.. I'm trying to sound like Mr. Daly, Lol! Therefore some might mistakenly or inadvertently consider her somewhat of a scientist. Long-winded commentary of the subsequent consequences of what might be considered in passing, opinions. Mr. Daly might be proud of me.
I can honestly say, that Jackie Carroll is my favorite all time all time hypnotist and is probably the most talented one too. I've always been solidly in her corner!
Wow. Dorothy's first question is the weakest she's ever asked! She never ceases to fascinate. She's a formidable presence, sharp, intelligent and yet there's insecurity and fallibility there. So adult and yet with a childlike giggle 16:25. She's pretty, yet in a very ordinary way. Supremely elegant and yet notably carrying a paunch which she doesn't try to hide, which I like :) Both she and Arlene are very interesting women....revealing a little more about themselves , their personality I mean, each week. I liked Dorothy straightaway possibly because I like to see the vulnerability in people. Arlene took longer (about fifty episodes!) but what appears to be false with her at first is actually genuine it seems. She's missed here!
Hedy Lamarr was very intelligent. She was one of the two inventors for U.S. Patent No. 2,292,387 dated August 11, 1942 entitled "Secret communication system". The system helped prevent the radio signals controlling steerable torpedoes from being jammed by enemy ships. Her name, as it appears on the patent is her real name, Hedy Kiesler Market and the patent was classified as a state secret for some years after its issuance. In more recent years, the patent helped contribute to the development of Wi-Fi, CDMA and Bluetooth technology. Her fellow inventor for the patent was one George Antheil. Ms. Lamarr was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014 because of this patent and what its technology led to later on. So she wasn't just beautiful.
I knew about that, but my impression is not one of a very intelligent woman, especially taking into consideration, how bad her English is after having already spent several years in the USA. As far as I know it's unknown what exactly her contribution was to the invention.
+What's My Line? Hi, Gary! It is a pity that you tend to get quite sharp when you don't like other peoples opinion. I happen to know much more about Hedy Lamarr than this video clip. Also it's a valid observation, from which deductions can be made, how bad her English is after many years working and living in an English speaking surrounding.
Celisar1 For the love of Mike, how am I supposed to know upon what else you're basing your opinion on Hedy Lamarr's intelligence if you *didn't mention anything else in your comment*? What am I supposed to be responding to but what you actually *said*? The only "evidence" you provided for the unnecessary comment about how not smart you think she was is that her English wasn't very good. That's all you said. That is, as I stated quite calmly and rationally, an absurdly limited basis for judging another person's intelligence. And that's all I said. If you consider that "sharp", then fine. I get "sharp" with people when they're being unnecessarily negative. And I overlook about 100 times more comments-- and delete 100 times more than that-- than you could possibly conceive of. But thanks for the critique. Personally, I find it a pity that you feel a need to leave a comment dismissing the intelligence of someone you never met, probably never even saw interviewed.

Exactly, you don't know anything about me, so why did you attack me in the first place by saying, the basis for my evaluation was ABSURDLY limited? Was it necessary to use such harsh words? And why didn't you simply ask me or chose a calmer approach? And You of all people ask me now, why I have and give an opinion about someone whom I have never met and who is dead? That is rather surprising from someone who put such an enormous amount of work in uploading a 60 year old game show, commenting lovingly on every detail of it and exchanging opinions on all people involved, also mostly all dead. Come on. If you don't like my opinion, you are allowed to ignore it....
Seriously... they have like a 20th century titan sitting next to them and she's not the guest. What different surreal times. This show is so addictive though, regardless of time period.
@@cagnazzo82 If they only knew she was a brilliant inventor. It was only briefly mentioned in a few articles in the early 1940s, but her and George Antheil's patent for the "secret communication system" had been made Top Secret by the U.S. Navy and it wasn't until around 1985 when the FCC started releasing more info on it, and most didn't know until Fleming Meeks' 1990 article in Forbes. When the Navy gave it to contractors in the late 1950s they knew Hedy Lamarr and George Antheil were the inventors and those early contractors pushed for their recognition in the late 1990s.
Yes, so interesting it’s hard to know where to start. Connections to Judaism and Nazism, inventor, movie star and producer, and her estranged son was a policeman who spurred BLM riots after shooting a teenager in the back.
Some additional WML trivia for the original network show which ran from 1950-1967 as of 8/23/2023. There were 269 panelists who appeared on WML between 1950-1967, many more than once. Only 19 of these panelists are still alive. The oldest living panelist is Dick Van Dyke (97) followed by Jeannie Carson (95) and William Shatner (92). The youngest living panelist is Michele Les (81) followed by Paul Anka (82) and Aliza Kashi (83). The living panelist with the earliest appearance is Jeannie Carson (1957) followed by Pat Boone (1958) and then Joan Collins (1959). The living panelist with the latest appearance is Joel Grey followed by Barbara Feldon and then Michelle Lee (all 1967). 8 of these living panelists also appeared as a MG between 1950-1967 - Pat Boone, Joan Collins, Steve Lawrence, Jane Fonda, Woody Allen, Paul Anka, George Hamiliton and Jack Jones, although several of the living panelists later appeared on the syndicated WML. Finally, WML only managed to have one black female panelist during its entire 17 year run. Joan Murray appeared on the 2nd to last program on 8/20/1967. Probably over 800 episodes and only 1 black female panelist.
Not really surprised that there was only one black female panelist given the era, although I am surprised that the gracious and beautiful one-time mystery guest Diahann Carroll didn't come on as a panelist, as many mystery guests would do. Dionne Warwick might have made a good panelist as well.
This episode didn't make it on to the playlist for 1958-1960. Not a criticism, @What'sMyLine -- your prodigious efforts to bring this wonderful show to us are appreciated beyond what my words can express. Just making what is hopefully a helpful observation.
Thanks for the heads up-- I appreciate it. This show actually *was* in the playlist, but for some reason as the LAST in the playlist when it should have been the first. I expect this was due to some sort of UA-cam glitch that screwed up the proper order and probably happened relatively recently; it just doesn't make sense to me that I'd have made this mistake (I'm pretty obsessively meticulous about this sort of thing, and this is a very obvious mistake that I should have spotted easily if it was always an error) AND that no one ever pointed it out before, considering this video was posted over 5 YEARS AGO! Anyhow, whatever caused it, I've fixed the error. Thanks again for the heads up!
@@WhatsMyLine Your efforts to bring these shows is greatly appreciated- it brings so much joy and laughter to see these fantastic, intelligent panelists and, of course, John Daly again.
Ugh. Is this one of the shows where they mess that up? There's at least one show I've seen (I would never be able to pinpoint it now) where John Daly even goes along with the mistake of classifying a whale as a fish!
hopicard -- Where Mr. Cerf was really "off" is in saying, "A whale is a mammal" (so he knew that) "but isn't it also considered a fish?" It sure couldn't be both!
What's My Line? At least, this time, Mr. Daly was spot on when he said that a while is "an aquatic mammal of the cetacean family". I'm constantly amazed by how clueless various panelists and the moderator often are when it comes to animals and how they're classified. You'd think they never took a biology course in high school or even 8th grade general science.
Well, today, and it's been several decades, students don't know the preamble to the Constitution, and certainly not the document, itself! Nor, classical literature, nor how to express oneself without the use of "like" about 5 times in every sentence! And this is just the beginning of their inadequacies that manifest from a mediocre education delivered to them by large numbers of mediocre teachers! PS: I can testify of this; I'm an elementary school teacher, as well as a Mom of school-aged children and young adults.
Oh, also, teachers deciding that teaching cursive writing is no longer needed. We now have thousands of teenagers who cannot read a cursive letter!!!! When my daughter was in high school from 2009 - 2013, she was often surprised at how many of her peers were amazed when they heard her reading cursive writing! They'd actually ask her how she knew what the words said!
In the early 70s, even though we were only in elementary school, my sisters and I used to wonder why our mother's brassiers were pointy! ...Then, in the mid 70s, when our teenage aunt started wearing them, we REALLY wondered why! My oldest sister, who was almost a teenager, herself, used to lightly tease our aunt about her pointy bras, after which, suddenly, they were no longer pointy anymore. Us younger girls were all relieved!
I grew up with the idea that Pat Boone was a middle-aged man singing rather square, lightweight easy listening....but here I can see he's just a kid!! I'm not going to Google it but he looks about twenty!
Hedy Lamarr. Wow. Easy on the eyes, for sure. But much more than just a pretty face. She was involved in the invention of Frequency-hopping spread-spectrum inventions.
+John Waller the funny thing about her accent is that for my ears (I'm german) it sounds totally different to the usually horrible german accent I speak myself. But I heard recently an austrian actress, she had mad some announcments for the australien railway company. There is a tiny bit of an english sentence. Funny this voice reminds me immediately of Hedy Lamarr. I didn't notice before, that an austrian accent produce an other english accent, then my own slightly saxonian german. But accents are most always a bit funny, aren't they?
Martin Gabel was very close when he said fortunetelling, and Hedy Lamarr was very gracious, and making him feel better about him having getting close but no cigar.
Jackie Carroll, the hypnotist, was only 18 at the time of this appearance. Therefore, she makes me think that she may be one of the contestants who is still around today. Does anyone have any further information about her; specifically in regard to what she went on to do in later years?
Perhaps they were useful for hypnotizing the men. ....or lauch a pair of missiles! BTW 35 years ago the movie TOP SECRET parodied that bra design hilariously.
Norway, to this day, still has a whaling industry and you can buy whale meat in Norwegian supermarkets and butcher shops. (The only other countries that still engage in whaling as an industry are Iceland and Japan.) The only species of whale Norwegian law permits hunting is the minke whale -- there are about 107,000 of them left in the north Atlantic, it's estimated. The law allows the killing of no more than 1,052 minke whales yearly (not that many are caught, however) and supposedly the industry is sustainable. (Me, there are some things I won't eat on general principles and whale meat is one of them.)
I think all whaling needs to stop, actually. We're long past the need for whale oil as a source of fuel for lighting and when it comes to whale meat, Japan, Norway and Iceland could easily get by nowadays without it or even using whale blubber as cooking fat. Given what plastics have become, they haven't needed baleen a.k.a. "whalebone" as stays in women's foundation garments for many years and I don't think it has been used for that purpose in ages. We're to the point that it's time to lay off hunting and killing whales for many reasons -- there just aren't enough of them left to justify it, if it could even by justified. It's right up there with hunting and killing elephants, if you ask me.
Humans eat meat and do not need to apologize for it nor stop doing it. However, we can be reasonable about it. It is a lot easier to farm cows and chickens than it is whales. I can agree whaling is not a necessity and don't object to it being stopped. Maybe one day we will develop replicators and don't need to eat cows and chickens. If that day comes, great, but until then bon appetit and let's hope we don't get served Soylent Green.
in two weeks i will be minding two smol dogs and one large dogs, all friendly, for a friend. I will let them watch this while lying on a sofa, eating chips
+Dale Kelly I did. There doesn't seem to be any mention of a hypnotist named Jackie Carroll, either dead or alive. Someone else posted a comment claiming to know her, but then there was no follow up from that person or Ms. Carroll.
Don't know if she's still alive, but here's an article on her around the same time as her WML appearance: www.newspapers.com/clip/22439391/jackie_carroll/
@@PrenticeBoy1688 What Bennett was clumsily saying in that show was that Dali had been young and not accomplished at all in English and had done really well over the decades with it. It was meant as a compliment, but was awkward.
@Dave Arcudi - Yes, and Bennett was very well-read and well-educated formally. Like all of us he sometimes misspeaks or stumbles over how dolphins & porpoises may differ. He asked quite reasonably, I thought, one time of a pig farmer or hog breeder what the difference was between a pig and a hog and got a good answer that was also not definitively the final word. No one seemed to know what a worm really was on one of the shows. Born in 1898 Bennett lived in a time when folks would have commonly known a story about a man named Jonah who was swallowed by a big fish, which was meant to be a whale because much of what was in the sea was called fish. We knew even then it was not all fish, though seafood even when seaweed. Whereas, a lake or river trout, while a fish, is not seafood. Then again, there are lakes that could have been part of an inland sea once. He asked for clarification. He was not insisting on a point. I think this happens with people with education. If the last time one had biology was high school, having taken perhaps astronomy and physics in college because they did not sound as icky as biology and chemistry, one might have to double check if a spider, though informally a bug, could in any way at all be called an insect or what are the 4 extant branches of the family of the great apes. I think people tend to lose their clarity on things they are no longer dealing with and so ask questions or look it up later. My family of educators insisted there are no stupid questions, except perhaps the ones that are not asked. Poetically, I am sure he had read many a manuscript that referred to whales as the largest fish in the sea. Not scientifically accurate, but poetic license. He read mostly literature and reference works for his reading matter at Random House so it may not be so odd. Do a lot of people know that polar bears are technically not white, but have black skin and hollow fur that does not have any white pigment in it? If of interest, one asks.
@@PrenticeBoy1688 I am sorry. I was not intending to be rude to you. Cerf had unusual cadences and even pronunciations in his use of English, his native tongue. I was explaining his oddities that could mask intent. I was not criticizing you nor was my intent to demean in any manner. Sorry.
The panel did not seem at all impressed when John Daly announced Pat Boone as the mystery guest; Martin seemed to be talking with someone off-camera, Dorothy registered absolutely NO sense of fun, being more concerned with her hair, Bennett was grouching because he thought he should have gotten a "yes" with his Alan Freed question. Within the next year, Pat would film his big role in the delightful "Journey to the Center of the Earth", with James Mason, Arlene Dahl, Peter Ronson, Diane Baker, and Gertrude the duck. LR
It is hard to imagine the great Pat Boone as a rock and roll singer. But Bennett Cerf was correct. He was misled with regards to Pat Boone as a rock and roll singer. He specifically said "something LIKE" Alan Fried. He did not specifically say that Pat Boone was on Alan Fried.
I love it when the panel gets stumped at a celeb' mystery guest because MOST times they would guess correctly. And I think, there has never been one show where the panel couldn't guess all 3 guests and the whaler contestant was down to ONE question. Other than being impressed by the youngest hypnotist in America (at 18), Hedy Lamarr on the panel is always exceptional.
RE: end of second contestant. WML could be very educational. Nowadays on cable there are plenty of places to talk about whales, but this is on live network TV, which hardly does anything with whales these days.

It was only briefly mentioned in a few articles in the early 1940s, but her and George Antheil's patent for the "secret communication system" had been made Top Secret by the U.S. Navy and it wasn't until around 1985 when the FCC started releasing more info on it, and most didn't know until Fleming Meeks' 1990 article in Forbes. When the Navy gave it to contractors in the late 1950s they knew Hedy Lamarr and George Antheil were the inventors and those early contractors pushed for their recognition in the late 1990s.
Yes, so interesting it’s hard to know where to start. Connections to Judaism and Nazism, inventor, movie star and producer, and her estranged son was a policeman who spurred BLM riots after shooting a teenager in the back.
Pat Boone's daughter Debby is married to Gabriel Ferrer, the son of Rosemary Clooney and José Ferrer.
Hedy Lamarr, what a treat!
That's Hedley
Jessy Leppert no it's Hedy any other bright observations?
+orgonko the wildly untamed might want to watch Blazing Saddles sometime to get the joke.
Some additional WML trivia for the original network show which ran from 1950-1967 as of 8/23/2023. There were 269 panelists who appeared on WML between 1950-1967, many more than once. Only 19 of these panelists are still alive. The oldest living panelist is Dick Van Dyke (97) followed by Jeannie Carson (95) and William Shatner (92). The youngest living panelist is Michele Les (81) followed by Paul Anka (82) and Aliza Kashi (83). The living panelist with the earliest appearance is Jeannie Carson (1957) followed by Pat Boone (1958) and then Joan Collins (1959). The living panelist with the latest appearance is Joel Grey followed by Barbara Feldon and then Michelle Lee (all 1967). 8 of these living panelists also appeared as a MG between 1950-1967 - Pat Boone, Joan Collins, Steve Lawrence, Jane Fonda, Woody Allen, Paul Anka, George Hamiliton and Jack Jones, although several of the living panelists later appeared on the syndicated WML.
Finally, WML only managed to have one black female panelist during its entire 17 year run. Joan Murray appeared on the 2nd to last program on 8/20/1967. Probably over 800 episodes and only 1 black female panelist.
Not really surprised that there was only one black female panelist given the era, although I am surprised that the gracious and beautiful one-time mystery guest Diahann Carroll didn't come on as a panelist, as many mystery guests would do. Dionne Warwick might have made a good panelist as well.
Pat Boone did a good job fooling the panel.
Hedy Lamar is absolutely stunningly Beautifully breathtaking
Also intelligent 😊
the hypnotist was only 18--talk about what a difference in maturity compared to today's 18 yr olds
She’s 18? Wow
And I doubt they would be able to write their name so beautifully.
Did she make a very mature impression?
Yes, everything used to be better; nothing is any good anymore; and we should all jump off a cliff.
@@crabbyoldman8209 Cliffs were so much better in the fifties!
Only "Gone With the Wind" raked in more money than "Samson and Delilah "-Victor matue and Hedy Lamarr[1949](2nd place)
What a wonderful surprise seeing Hedy Lamar on the panel.
This episode didn't make it on to the playlist for 1958-1960. Not a criticism, @What'sMyLine -- your prodigious efforts to bring this wonderful show to us are appreciated beyond what my words can express. Just making what is hopefully a helpful observation.
Thanks for the heads up-- I appreciate it. This show actually *was* in the playlist, but for some reason as the LAST in the playlist when it should have been the first. I expect this was due to some sort of UA-cam glitch that screwed up the proper order and probably happened relatively recently; it just doesn't make sense to me that I'd have made this mistake (I'm pretty obsessively meticulous about this sort of thing, and this is a very obvious mistake that I should have spotted easily if it was always an error) AND that no one ever pointed it out before, considering this video was posted over 5 YEARS AGO!
Anyhow, whatever caused it, I've fixed the error. Thanks again for the heads up!
@@WhatsMyLine Your efforts to bring these shows is greatly appreciated- it brings so much joy and laughter to see these fantastic, intelligent panelists and, of course, John Daly again.
I CANNOT believe that is Pat Boone. Oh. My. God.
Mr John Charles Daly the ultimate and supreme game hosts
And ABC NEWSMAN ETC
No, Mr Cerf, a whale is NEVER a fish. :)
Ugh. Is this one of the shows where they mess that up? There's at least one show I've seen (I would never be able to pinpoint it now) where John Daly even goes along with the mistake of classifying a whale as a fish!
hopicard -- Where Mr. Cerf was really "off" is in saying, "A whale is a mammal" (so he knew that) "but isn't it also considered a fish?" It sure couldn't be both!
What's My Line? At least, this time, Mr. Daly was spot on when he said that a while is "an aquatic mammal of the cetacean family". I'm constantly amazed by how clueless various panelists and the moderator often are when it comes to animals and how they're classified. You'd think they never took a biology course in high school or even 8th grade general science.
Well, today, and it's been several decades, students don't know the preamble to the Constitution, and certainly not the document, itself! Nor, classical literature, nor how to express oneself without the use of "like" about 5 times in every sentence! And this is just the beginning of their inadequacies that manifest from a mediocre education delivered to them by large numbers of mediocre teachers!
PS: I can testify of this; I'm an elementary school teacher, as well as a Mom of school-aged children and young adults.
Oh, also, teachers deciding that teaching cursive writing is no longer needed. We now have thousands of teenagers who cannot read a cursive letter!!!! When my daughter was in high school from 2009 - 2013, she was often surprised at how many of her peers were amazed when they heard her reading cursive writing! They'd actually ask her how she knew what the words said!
Its a shame Arlene wasn't there - the Norwegian whaler was just her type.
Pat Boone was great!!
She loved the handsome young men, all right.
@@kulturekritik9665 She is not the only one!!!!!😍
Any handsome well built man is her favorite 😊
Oh my goodness! Back when conical bras were all the rage! To think, Madonna made an attempt to bring them back, but it didn't catch on.
In the early 70s, even though we were only in elementary school, my sisters and I used to wonder why our mother's brassiers were pointy! ...Then, in the mid 70s, when our teenage aunt started wearing them, we REALLY wondered why! My oldest sister, who was almost a teenager, herself, used to lightly tease our aunt about her pointy bras, after which, suddenly, they were no longer pointy anymore. Us younger girls were all relieved!
How strange that sometimes the most exaggerated, unattractive styles prevail! Yikes!
Was wondering if I was the only one who noticed torpedo bras
I grew up with the idea that Pat Boone was a middle-aged man singing rather square, lightweight easy listening....but here I can see he's just a kid!!
I'm not going to Google it but he looks about twenty!
The hypnotist definitely entranced me!
😁
😊 Exactly 😅
Lovely songs from Pat Boone-
Love Letters (in the sand)
April Love
Thee I Love (Friendly Persuasion)
I’ll be Home (my darling)
"A man does not refer to Pat Boone as a beautiful genius if things are all right." - Ed Garlick
man, she still looked good at 48 when this show came on...
+Anthony She was 44 yrs old here.
44 or 48 is one foot in the grave. I got both feet in the grave, I'm 79.
@@dancelli714 How’s life Dan?
Her true date of birth isn't known.
It's Headly!
I can’t believe the hypnotist is 18 years old!
Youngs teens were very mature, thanks to parents 😊
Hedy Lamarr. Wow. Easy on the eyes, for sure. But much more than just a pretty face. She was involved in the invention of Frequency-hopping spread-spectrum inventions.
Frequency-hopping spread-spectrum - I don't even know what that means!
*****
She had an interesting accent..
+John Waller
the funny thing about her accent is that for my ears (I'm german) it sounds totally different to the usually horrible german accent I speak myself. But I heard recently an austrian actress, she had mad some announcments for the australien railway company. There is a tiny bit of an english sentence. Funny this voice reminds me immediately of Hedy Lamarr. I didn't notice before, that an austrian accent produce an other english accent, then my own slightly saxonian german.
But accents are most always a bit funny, aren't they?
Yes she was a pre-inventor of WiFi technology we all use today !!!!
Hypnotist girl is very charming and delightful to watch.
Would have been interesting to learn how the hypnotist began this profession. Seems quite young to be able to master the role.
Irene Ryan I'll ask her over dinner this evening.
+Charles Henry
Well? Is dinner over yet?
Lois Simmons Henry was hypnotized into a sleeping beauty....
Martin Gabel was very close when he said fortunetelling, and Hedy Lamarr was very gracious, and making him feel better about him having getting close but no cigar.
I believe he’s still alive? Good for him! ♥️
Bennett and martin are in the weeds. She has mesmerized them.😄
April love , Pat Boone handsome Man
Pat Boone was doing what sounded like a Walter Brennan voice.
Hedy has been my dream girl forever!
I feel like Arlene would have guessed pat boone.
Jackie Carroll, the hypnotist, was only 18 at the time of this appearance. Therefore, she makes me think that she may be one of the contestants who is still around today. Does anyone have any further information about her; specifically in regard to what she went on to do in later years?
519DJW there are new comments here that give a lot more info about her....😀
Mr. Boone's life has been blessed in so many ways.
Was that new youngster Debbie Boone? 24:20
No, Debby was his 2nd daughter. She was nearly 2 when Laura was born.
@@barbarajacobs3484: Debby was their third, after Cherry and Linda. Laurey was the youngest.
I will never understand how those conical bras became so popular. You can poke a child’s eye out.
Hahahahaha
Double hahaha ha
Lol!
Jackie Carroll really had those ice-cream-cone boobs going on.
Perhaps they were useful for hypnotizing the men.
....or lauch a pair of missiles!
BTW 35 years ago the movie TOP SECRET parodied that bra design hilariously.
A hypnotist would always learn something about a client - how else could they address the goal of hypnosis?
Norway, to this day, still has a whaling industry and you can buy whale meat in Norwegian supermarkets and butcher shops. (The only other countries that still engage in whaling as an industry are Iceland and Japan.) The only species of whale Norwegian law permits hunting is the minke whale -- there are about 107,000 of them left in the north Atlantic, it's estimated. The law allows the killing of no more than 1,052 minke whales yearly (not that many are caught, however) and supposedly the industry is sustainable. (Me, there are some things I won't eat on general principles and whale meat is one of them.)
I think all whaling needs to stop, actually. We're long past the need for whale oil as a source of fuel for lighting and when it comes to whale meat, Japan, Norway and Iceland could easily get by nowadays without it or even using whale blubber as cooking fat. Given what plastics have become, they haven't needed baleen a.k.a. "whalebone" as stays in women's foundation garments for many years and I don't think it has been used for that purpose in ages. We're to the point that it's time to lay off hunting and killing whales for many reasons -- there just aren't enough of them left to justify it, if it could even by justified. It's right up there with hunting and killing elephants, if you ask me.
ToddSF 94109 What about the Inuits that live in the artic region?
I'm sure he wouldn't get the same sort of applause if the show were done today.
@@HariSeldon913 I agree.
Whaling is awful
Beautiful and intelligent creatures.
Humans eat meat and do not need to apologize for it nor stop doing it. However, we can be reasonable about it. It is a lot easier to farm cows and chickens than it is whales. I can agree whaling is not a necessity and don't object to it being stopped. Maybe one day we will develop replicators and don't need to eat cows and chickens. If that day comes, great, but until then bon appetit and let's hope we don't get served Soylent Green.
The Hypnotist is only 18? Wow
Loved that comment by John Charles Daly about that first hottie contestant “A good way to begin the new year...”
😂😉
in two weeks i will be minding two smol dogs and one large dogs, all friendly, for a friend. I will let them watch this while lying on a sofa, eating chips

Do u make them feel besser. :) 9:55
Hedy Lámpara, always a goddess 💖🌟
Coluld t he young 18 year old Hypnotist still be alive? She would be quite an old woman by now if still alive but can anyone answer my question?
Steve Burrus if she were still alive, she would be 72.
Have you googled the name "Jackie Carroll"?
+Dale Kelly
I did. There doesn't seem to be any mention of a hypnotist named Jackie Carroll, either dead or alive. Someone else posted a comment claiming to know her, but then there was no follow up from that person or Ms. Carroll.
Steve Burrus what do you mean by quite old ! She might be eighty and that ain't old just ask someone age ninty month!! thanks!
Don't know if she's still alive, but here's an article on her around the same time as her WML appearance: www.newspapers.com/clip/22439391/jackie_carroll/
That's HEDLEY! LOL Sorry...I couldn't help it.
she sued Mel Brookes over that joke, so be careful.
it had to be said!!!
I think that was Debbie when they were talking about baby number 3.
Panel is not managing well without arlene.
She would have been salivating all over that whaler.
Did an educated man actually ask if a whale was a fish?
In another episode he exclaimed that when Salvador Dali had a book published by Random House, he 'couldn't talk any English'.
@@PrenticeBoy1688 What Bennett was clumsily saying in that show was that Dali had been young and not accomplished at all in English and had done really well over the decades with it. It was meant as a compliment, but was awkward.
@Dave Arcudi - Yes, and Bennett was very well-read and well-educated formally. Like all of us he sometimes misspeaks or stumbles over how dolphins & porpoises may differ. He asked quite reasonably, I thought, one time of a pig farmer or hog breeder what the difference was between a pig and a hog and got a good answer that was also not definitively the final word. No one seemed to know what a worm really was on one of the shows. Born in 1898 Bennett lived in a time when folks would have commonly known a story about a man named Jonah who was swallowed by a big fish, which was meant to be a whale because much of what was in the sea was called fish. We knew even then it was not all fish, though seafood even when seaweed. Whereas, a lake or river trout, while a fish, is not seafood. Then again, there are lakes that could have been part of an inland sea once. He asked for clarification. He was not insisting on a point. I think this happens with people with education. If the last time one had biology was high school, having taken perhaps astronomy and physics in college because they did not sound as icky as biology and chemistry, one might have to double check if a spider, though informally a bug, could in any way at all be called an insect or what are the 4 extant branches of the family of the great apes. I think people tend to lose their clarity on things they are no longer dealing with and so ask questions or look it up later. My family of educators insisted there are no stupid questions, except perhaps the ones that are not asked. Poetically, I am sure he had read many a manuscript that referred to whales as the largest fish in the sea. Not scientifically accurate, but poetic license. He read mostly literature and reference works for his reading matter at Random House so it may not be so odd. Do a lot of people know that polar bears are technically not white, but have black skin and hollow fur that does not have any white pigment in it? If of interest, one asks.
@@philippapay4352 Well, yes. I understood what he said. I speak English as my native tongue and my ears function adequately.
@@PrenticeBoy1688 I am sorry. I was not intending to be rude to you. Cerf had unusual cadences and even pronunciations in his use of English, his native tongue. I was explaining his oddities that could mask intent. I was not criticizing you nor was my intent to demean in any manner. Sorry.
Oh, got it. Hedy's movie was "Extacy"
"That's HEAD-ly...."
Jackie Carroll giving me serious eyebrow envy!
Can we buy the entire series anywhere?
Just watch here😊
We never get a look at Pat Boone's shoes to see if he is wearing white bucks.
He is😊
Bullet bra...
Dorothy Kilgallen was giving the young Norwegian whaler the eye as he walked off.. lol
The panel did not seem at all impressed when John Daly announced Pat Boone as the mystery guest; Martin seemed to be talking with someone off-camera, Dorothy registered absolutely NO sense of fun, being more concerned with her hair, Bennett was grouching because he thought he should have gotten a "yes" with his Alan Freed question. Within the next year, Pat would film his big role in the delightful "Journey to the Center of the Earth", with James Mason, Arlene Dahl, Peter Ronson, Diane Baker, and Gertrude the duck. LR

Notice the cold climate joke to the first guest with the full beams on?
It is hard to imagine the great Pat Boone as a rock and roll singer.
But Bennett Cerf was correct. He was misled with regards to Pat Boone as a rock and roll singer. He specifically said "something LIKE" Alan Fried. He did not specifically say that Pat Boone was on Alan Fried.
What a gorgeous creature Hedy Lamar was
*_Professional Hypnotist_*
*_Whaler_*
18 years old. So if she's still alive she's at least 80.
84 now😊
I love it when the panel gets stumped at a celeb' mystery guest because MOST times they would guess correctly. And I think, there has never been one show where the panel couldn't guess all 3 guests and the whaler contestant was down to ONE question. Other than being impressed by the youngest hypnotist in America (at 18), Hedy Lamarr on the panel is always exceptional.
Well those old foggies on the panel were probably never going to guess a rock and roll pop singer.
Exactly 😊
If they could only know how important Hedy Lamarr would be to the future... she would be the guest up there on stage!
She has been the mystery guest.
RE: end of second contestant. WML could be very educational. Nowadays on cable there are plenty of places to talk about whales, but this is on live network TV, which hardly does anything with whales these days.
HEDLEY Lamar!!!
People used to tell my late mother that she looked a lot like Hedy.
Hedy Lamarr came across as so stern. She was more than an actress, though. She was a scientist and inventor.
Beauty aside, that tone of hers probably turned off a lot of men.
@BiffJackson-o4i Send a email complaint 😊
I thought whale was in the fish family, like seafood. I have to correct my fishy wrong idea, Lol!
The hypnotist would be my age now; 79.
