Boyd Perrigo was my grandfather. He passed away in 1972, five years before I was born. Up until a few couple of years ago, I never knew he was on this show. When I saw this episode, it was the first and only time I've ever heard his voice.
Wow-- that's pretty amazing. Must be strange to see a relative you never had the chance to meet and who wasn't a show biz personality on an old TV show!
What's My Line? The amazing thing about it is how we found out about the show. My mother got a phone call from a random person in Ohio (can't remember the exact state) one night. He told her he recorded a re-run of the episode on the Game Show Network. He then looked up the name Perrigo in the Hermosa, SD area and found a few phone numbers (it's not a very common name, even around here). Eventually he tracked my mom down and asked if she'd like him to burn it to a DVD and send it too her. Completely random. I mean, who does something like that? Still, it was a very nice gesture and a pretty awesome surprise.
PotatoPeeler Wow again! That's a really nice story. Pretty amazing. Interesting coincidence-- one of the subscribers to this channel who has commented a lot (not recently, though) has the same last name, too. If it's that uncommon, maybe you're related. :)
Yeah, I found his channel while searching for this episode. I'm fairly certain he's related in some fashion but I'm not sure how since I don't know him. Perhaps I should send him a message.
PotatoPeeler He's also on Facebook-- that might be a more effective way to contact him. Lots of people don't even know when they get private messages on YT/G+. Just a suggestion.
Robert Taylor was so handsome, even as he aged, wow what a guy! I think that when Robert slipped letting them hear his voice, they recognised it , he had a voice you couldn't mistake for anyone but him.
@MarkHarrison733 Suuuuure, so talentless that he worked with many of the biggest female stars of that era and made over 50 movies and has his fingerprints on the walk of fame. He was a pilot instructor in WWII, a fine horserider and an athlete. Yeah so talentless, eh? STFU and get a life.
Bennett: "I was convinced Jane Russell was gonna be on tonight because I saw her a little while ago, and I thought her denials were rather false." Dorothy: "That's the only thing about her that is." LOL Dorothy pulling an Arlene-type remark. Arlene looked proud haha
Only 44 years old here, but one can see he must have been unbelievably handsome in his youth. He had a deep, virile, enviably masculine voice, perfect for strong, manly roles. Don't make 'em like that any more.
It's interesting to see the trend away from the contestants' walk in front of the panel, even before it was officially discontinued. Here John omits it twice in one show.
Dorothy cracking wise twice (shocker!) and looking especially pretty in this episode...but she gave away the head waiter by wanting to brag about being a regular at Maxim's.
@@robertfiller8634 in all fairness there were 2 minutes left and the poor old man looked like struggling with getting the questions and answering... that last minute Dorothy saved allowed more chit-chat about Maxim's.
I felt she would have looked even better had her makeup artist allowed the lipstick to end at her lip-line. She had perfectly lovely lips just the way they ended naturally, but on the programs after the few beginning ones, they tried to "enhance" her lips, and in my estimation, failed.
@@slaytonp Big nose, big mouth, broad brow, maquillage often too emphatic (as a blonde she looked awful) but a personality that radiated wit, kindliness and sympathy. Her glamor was innate. She was not a great actress or singer, but she could hold a Broadway audience spellbound. And she was sufficiently down to earth to anchor live telecasts for a national audience. None of the WML regulars were beauties. Character lasts longer.
Daly was the best of the best! I've seen very few of the later syndicated version of WML episodes, and the magic just isn't there without him (no slight against Wally Bruener or Larry Blyden, they just weren't John Charles Daly!)
What's My Line? And Soupy Sales was surely an crazy substitute for Fred Allen/Steve Allen/Ernie Kovacs/Martin Gable or any of the other regular 4th panel members!
Me too. He was the best. The newer shows were enjoyable but they didn't have the charm of John Daly. And Soupy was not very funny in my opinion. Just my opinion.
Another fun episode ! It's a shame the previous guest was involved with buffalos, which brought up the film "The Last Hunt". Otherwise it would have been more difficult for the panel to guess Robert Taylor. I loved the voice Mr Taylor used ! THANKS for sharing with us !! CHEERS !! :-)
You have got to be kidding she was a nobody and she had no nose - terrible profile Barbara Stanwyck had it all including oozing sex appeal and a beauty so unique one of the best actresses of all time Bob married her on the rebound
Maxim's was the most famous restaurant in the world at the time of this show. It is still considered one of the finest restaurants anywhere, and is one of the most expensive. On a side note, a young Wolfgang Puck was a chef there. Dorothy was so wrong in practically giving him away.
@@laurahoward5426 You are very fortunate. My last visit to Paris was 25 years ago, after I foolishly moved from a job that took me there frequently to one that kept me at the home office. The new job paid a lot more but was much less personally enriching. I don't know how good it is now, but La Cagouille was my favorite restaurant in Paris. It's in the 14th on the Place Constantin Brancusi.
I'm currently watching his movies and even between 1939-1940 there seems a dramatic change in his looks, suddenly starts to look as if he was in his late 30s although he was just 28-29 at the time. Quite interesting that it coincides with his first year of marriage with Stanwyck. I read that he was a very sportive person and outdoorsy, so one would assume that health was his priority... Why he did this to himself...
I could ask my Mother the very same question as she smoked from around age 15 to maybe 1-1/2 years before she died - COPD! I hated and still hate smoking!!!
@meyay5757 tragically, they just didn't realize the great danger of smoking! It breaks my heart because he is one of my favorites!! And he was a very gifted musician as well as a great actor!!
I think it's funny that at the end of the 2nd contestant who was the Buffalo hunter, John was talking about a movie that he was involved in that starred Robert Taylor who also happens to be the mystery guest on the show that evening, so even though the panelists didn't know who the mystery guest was you could say that John actually gave it away mentioning his name in the movie.
If the air date is correct, then this is one of the final (if not the final) shows Fred Allen did. He died on Mar 17, 1956 of a heart attack while out on his usual evening stroll.
Bob was a good company guy at MGM, willing to try anything. Despite his early reputation as the most handsome and best 'tailored' youngster in Hollywood, a squire for its leading ladies, he had no problem moving into westerns and costumed actioners, and he aged gracefully. The wasting disease that took him never showed.
+oldfart4751 I guess it was a lot of work being put on the spot as they were. They couldnt have been on the ball all the time, but it was all a bit of fun :-)
She's so proud of knowing the headwaiter at the most famous restaurant in Paris that she forgets that her bragging will spoil the game for those who didn't disqualify themselves. It's a rare slip for her; usually she's pretty scrupulous about playing the game.
I was looking for any signs of resentment towards Robert Taylor since this was nine years or so after his famous HUAC testimony in about 1947, I think.
@@michaelnivens6267 I don't agree. But that's ok. It's a free country, so people should be able express their political views without fear of reprisals or being blacklisted.
Wally Cox was an incredibly multi-talented actor who unfortunately was the epitome of Hollywood stereotyping. He was witty, very smart, a superb actor (watch him in The Bedford Incident film and Mr. Peepers on TV), voice actor (ie. Underdog) and always quick with a come-back. Regrettably as a part of these roles he was forever given roles as a geek, nerd and never a true dramatic role. Born Dec. 6, 1924 he was only 32 years old here. He was lifelong fast friends with Marlon Brando from when they both grew up in Evanston, In. and roomed together as struggling actors In New York City where Brando learned from Cox to sharpen his wit and to respond with a lighthearted come-back to interviewers/ press. When he died unexpectedly in Feb. 1973 at only 49, notoriously press shy and privacy fanatic Brando stood outside the funeral home and wept inconsolably, and I'm talking Niagara Falls, not like from a spigot. Even what friends Brando did have could not console him. While a fan favorite for those roles he did play, he was never given the chance to show the extent of his acting ability, which was a pity for someone who studied under Stella Adler. RIP.
Brando, for my ticket money, was overrated. On the other hand, maybe some fans love unintelligible mumbling and mugging the camera. Rod Steiger in a different body.
I agree, and she could have just disqualified herself, end of. But to go on and on about being seated and greeted, she just essentially told the whole panel everything. This was a case of her showing off her arrogance . She usually doesn't do this stuff. She brags about name dropping but this was too much.
@@SymphonyBrahms: I never thought Stanwyck was pretty, but she was reportedly one of the nicest people in Hollywood. Directors and co-stars uniformly loved her.
I noticed that John was gently trying to nudge Fred Allen into a more proper form of address for Mr. Perrigo ... when Fred called him "Boyd," John said after his first question, "Mr. Perrigo deals ..." Seemed like a gentle rebuke to Fred, from where I see it.
I doubt it, Fred did seem to be having a problem with pronouncing the name, which is why he switched to Boyd. Actually, considering the hand writing of a lot of people, it is surprising that the panelists do not have more problems with names :)

Oh wow-- you're right. I don't know how that happened. The log I took the basic info from for this work (from a defunct geocities page) has been very, very accurate. This may be the first error that's been pointed out that wasn't a mistake *I* made in modifying info. Anyhow, you're welcome for the shows, and I appreciate the heads up about the error. I'll correct it now. I knew i didn't remember the segment at all when I was writing the description, and would have, especially if Talbert had talked at all about diabetes (being a diabetic myself, I certainly would have remembered that! He was one of the first, maybe THE first successful pro athlete who was known to the public to have diabetes.) I also double checked the log, and this is apparently Robert Taylor's only appearance, so it's not likely I confused this was another show. The info just wasn't accurate. Thanks again for the correction!
Mainly his mobster connections, his habit of picking fights with guys he knew he could beat up, & his sleazy female companions & affairs. She did say nice things about him too, but that was sort of lost, considering. After JFK was elected President, the Kennedys befriended Sinatra, but that came to an abrupt end as he set up JFK with a mobster spy in the luscious form of Judith Exner Campbell, as a favor for Sam Giancano.
Any time, in real life, I'm subjected to a pun by anyone I know, I always say in return, "Thanks so much for that, Mr. Cerf." No one has ever had any idea what I'm talking about.
It's the only time I've heard them mention the mystery star's name in advance of him coming to sit down; it made it kind of easy for them. BTW, "The Last Hunt" was an excellent movie, where Taylor gets to play an insane heavy, yet I've yet to see it come to television. I love that movie. Stewart Granger is there hero, of course. Do you know his birth name? James Stewart.
Taylor was reportedly the father of Sheilah Graham's son, Robert T. Westbrook, even though she was married to Trevor Westbrook at the time of his birth. Robert Westbrook wrote a book about his personal life, his mother, and his childhood, entitled "Intimate Lies." His older sister, Wendy, was reportedly not fathered by Trevor Westbrook, either, and she is the spitting image of the man who claims to be her bio father. Her memoir about all of this is called "One of the Family." Both books are fascinating.
Dorothy made serious enemies due to hateful comments. She was not the innocent one we would likev to support. 🐱⚘She lied about Humphrey Bogart and created a vociferous enemy!
I wonder what Kilgallen could have written in those articles to make Sinatra mad even after 30 years, referring during his concerts to that "chinless lady".

Curly: About $400.
Larry: You're not a tailor, you're a robber!
Curly: That's me──robber tailor. Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!
"sadder but wiser", indeed
Bennett seems quite fond of Dorothy after she introduces him. Early days...
Miss Fisher leaves us sadder budweiser....I'm game..... Good bison......😆 😆 😆
Thanks for posting all these wonderful complete episodes. PS The description is wrong - Bill Talbert is *not* in this episode.
Oh wow-- you're right. I don't know how that happened. The log I took the basic info from for this work (from a defunct geocities page) has been very, very accurate. This may be the first error that's been pointed out that wasn't a mistake *I* made in modifying info.
Anyhow, you're welcome for the shows, and I appreciate the heads up about the error. I'll correct it now. I knew i didn't remember the segment at all when I was writing the description, and would have, especially if Talbert had talked at all about diabetes (being a diabetic myself, I certainly would have remembered that! He was one of the first, maybe THE first successful pro athlete who was known to the public to have diabetes.)
I also double checked the log, and this is apparently Robert Taylor's only appearance, so it's not likely I confused this was another show. The info just wasn't accurate. Thanks again for the correction!
Dorothy's article on Sinatra, I hear, made her real unpopular with Frank.
Sinatra used to call Kilgallen the Chinless Wonder...he hated her.

The panelists liked it. They must agree with her.
Mainly his mobster connections, his habit of picking fights with guys he knew he could beat up, & his sleazy female companions & affairs. She did say nice things about him too, but that was sort of lost, considering. After JFK was elected President, the Kennedys befriended Sinatra, but that came to an abrupt end as he set up JFK with a mobster spy in the luscious form of Judith Exner Campbell, as a favor for Sam Giancano.
@@barrykendrick3146 - Kennedys could write the book on sleazy affairs and they made their fortune bootlegging
16:48 Robert Taylor, even his autograph is "handsome"!
Bennett and his puns! Good Bison and Sadder Budweiser!
Any time, in real life, I'm subjected to a pun by anyone I know, I always say in return, "Thanks so much for that, Mr. Cerf." No one has ever had any idea what I'm talking about.
Loved it! But then he wrote children's books with jokes and puns. We had at least two of them in the 60s as kids.
"Well fed". I shall have to remember that one.
It hasn't been a walk of shame for years- the guests really want to meet the panel-that final guest was set to make a dead run for them!
I've seen several start and they got pulled back. Don't know if they realised the guests want to meet the panel.
Who would of known that the almost unknown city of Waukesha Wisconsin would become so famous 65 years after this show was aired.
Fred: Liquid donated by cows when they're in the moood. Thanks for postig.
He mentioned Taylor before he came out.
It's the only time I've heard them mention the mystery star's name in advance of him coming to sit down; it made it kind of easy for them. BTW, "The Last Hunt" was an excellent movie, where Taylor gets to play an insane heavy, yet I've yet to see it come to television. I love that movie. Stewart Granger is there hero, of course. Do you know his birth name? James Stewart.
The ending ruined it.
Typical Dorothy - she's the one that gives the answer away and then shouts no fair as Arlene says It.
Robert Taylor is a perfect Mandrake
He's is perfect alright.
I always he could play a good Dracula, his immense good looks would be very much helpful.
"That's the only thing about her that is." Would Dorothy'd do this more often.
Bennett's stated that he thought Jane Russell's denials were false.
Then Dorothy's rejoiner -- "It's about the only thing about her that is."
He looks like Dracula here!
That was my thought also!
Nooo
If the Buffalo were sparse in South Dakota in the 50's why would they need to thin the herd?
All herds need culling
Bennett at 10:10. Perfect pun!!
Robert tayor's hair style...kinda strange
he had a widow's peak

HEADWAITER AT MAXIM'S IN PARIS, FRANCE
Taylor was reportedly the father of Sheilah Graham's son, Robert T. Westbrook, even though she was married to Trevor Westbrook at the time of his birth. Robert Westbrook wrote a book about his personal life, his mother, and his childhood, entitled "Intimate Lies." His older sister, Wendy, was reportedly not fathered by Trevor Westbrook, either, and she is the spitting image of the man who claims to be her bio father. Her memoir about all of this is called "One of the Family." Both books are fascinating.
Can you imagine what Hal Block would’ve done with that first guest?
Why did Dorothy give away the answer?
miraclay
I don't. Know but Maxim's is some place she would be familiar wirh
The "well fed" comments made to the final contestant were laughably inappropriate, which explains why I laughed.
Great comedy and great days indeed.
A real blue ribbon girl and very attractive
BENNETT: "GOODBYE, SON !"
John Daly coughs nearly every show. Ugh. Smoker no doubt
Robert Taylor didn't get a name sign.
Dorothy made serious enemies due to hateful comments. She was not the innocent one we would likev to support. 🐱⚘She lied about Humphrey Bogart and created a vociferous enemy!
Dorothy shouldn't have put the cat out of the bag.
Denise Fischer was BEAUTIFUL
Hardly.
@@MarkHarrison733 Hardly??? Must be sad to be you. . .
@@sansacro007 Just another member of the tribe.
I wonder what Kilgallen could have written in those articles to make Sinatra mad even after 30 years, referring during his concerts to that "chinless lady".
She mentioned mob ties, multiple romances, and a fierce temper. All true but not of course flattering .
@@marycleary7810 Thanx. Still, I wonder how Sinatra could have bothered so much about what was, even at the time, common lore.
-Just Dorothy being Dorothy - she had a nasty streak
@@michaelnivens6267 so did Sinatra ...
Frank hated Dorothy K.
what was the joke from fred allen? at 10:40
Taylor was a wooden actor who named names.
Kilgallen ruined the last challenge ____________
