@@1189paris You know it is not really that hard to be nice and cordial (up to the point one is able). We excuse bad manners today too easily. Here in Israel where I have lived for almost 9 years I was struck when I arrived by the lack of courtesy prevalent amongst many of the indigenous business people in shops and such. I was told, 'well that's just how Israeli's are". I said no thank you, courtesy is courtesy and politeness should be practiced everywhere, one's supposed "culture" is no excuse. Since then I have found most Israeli's are extremely nice people. Now if we can only get the Australians aboard!😁
Mr. Dana Andrews; one of the most underrated actors ever to grace the silver screen. He gave wonderful performances in classics such as Laura, Where The Sidewalk Ends, The Best Years of Our Lives, Elephant Walk, Daisy Kenyon, A Walk In the Sun, Beyond a Reasonable Doubt, Canyon Passage, State Fair, Boomerang, Fallen Angel, my personal favorite; The Oxbow Incident and so many more!
Could have had a much better career if he had not been an alcoholic, which he publicly acknowledged. By the 1950's his career had slipped largely into B pictures, the most famous of which is Zero Hour! Not a great performance but formed the basis for the terrific spoof Airplane!
This show is such an awesome precious time capsule of eras gone by. They did not know it at the time but they were all really making history. Great show. IT was it's time.
It was refreshing to look up the mystery guest on Wikipedia and find out they're actually still alive. On a related note, I had an odd moment the other day while watching these old episodes. I'd watched a couple of dozen of them, having never seen this show before, and I was really enjoying watching them and getting to know the panel. Then I read about Dorothy's tragic death, and I felt a genuine sense of grief. Then it occurred to me, even though it's totally obvious, that the entire panel is long dead, and I felt an even stronger sense of grief. I'd completely forgotten that most of these episodes are more than half a century old, dating from a time decades before I was born. I was really rather sad at the fleetingness of all human life. Sorry, getting a bit emo now :P
I feel that I understand the emotions that you have described. I too, become melancholy as if I am remembering a time that I wasn't even born yet. On this particular video when I see Dana Andrews I feel sentimental about the movie 'The Best Years of our Lives' that he starred in. It was made in the 40's and I wasn't even born until 1958. I also loved to watch The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson starting in the 70's until his death, which I grieved over then. I think I know the sadness that you're talking about.
What reminds me of the age of the show is one of the guests remembered the night when President Lincoln got shot. He was five at the time and felt so bad that Mr. Booth hurt his leg jumping from the balcony.....he didn't know yet at the time what just happened.
Buffoon1980 I love watching old videos...yes, I found these clips of this show and began to binge watch them...I found their humor, their wit, and their articulation surprising. I was born in '64 and had never heard of this show. You get to know the panel after a while and do feel a certain loss when you read of when and how they each passed. We are kind of doing the same here. I am commenting on your post of 11 months ago. I haven't a clue whether you or any of the other people commenting are still around. Your words, "I was really rather sad at the fleetingness of all human life" holds true today.
Yes.. ...perhaps... . But I Honestly Wonder if She was (not) helped along at times ... 😬 That.. Coupled with the fact that.. ...She Apparently Struck Out on some VERY, Very Very (Very) well known (and Identifiable) voices.. (Such as George Burns, Danny Kaye, Louis Jordan, and Victor Borge for example. If memory properly serves for a couple of these..
She was smart but she seemed very stuck up. I can easily imagine her and Arlene viciously tearing other people apart. She died from mixing booze and pills so not too smart.
She's my favorite actress. Her best roles were in the 1960s through 1970. She has a cult following. My favorite of her films are Lord Love a Duck, Pretty Poison and I Walk the Line. Also smaller parts in Soldier in the Rain and Cincinnati kid.
She was very good in Pretty Poison with Anthony Perkins, Beverly Garland and Clarice Blackburn, who played the housekeeper Mrs Johnson on the original Dark Shadows.
She was amazing in Pretty Poison, Play it as it Lays, Serial, The Cincinnati Kid. Yes, she was underrated somewhat, as an actress. Easy on the eyes, too.
I wished Dorothy had mentioned how underrated of an actor Dana Andrews is and how they unjustly deprived him of a well deserved Oscars for Flawless Performance in Best Years of Our Lives ( back in 46). He brings me tears every time I watch that movie. He never gave a bad performance at all...
the craze for calling everyone who was ever born, no matter how successful, "underrated" didn't start until mouthbeathers like you started commenting on youtube

What a magnificent time capsule of our culture during these years. I was just a little girl occasionally seeing these, but I certainly can appreciate these shows now.
Intriguing sophistication wrapped in deceptive simplicity. I have one of Tuesday Weld's pictures as my screen saver. Love to see her fresh face every morning when I log in.
I just fell in love with Dana Andrews. I have seen him in a number of films, but just now when they introduced him & he was on camera...my heart did flip flops! So handsome & charming!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I wish shows like this were still around then again in this generation they would change it and make it something else and the magic would be gone. perhaps its better to stay like this a timeless gem.
Tuesday Weld gives an inaccurate answer at 22:24 about whether her movie "Bachelor Flat" was based on a stage play. In fact it was based on a British play "Libby" with the setting changed to Malibu. The play had never been in America but technically she should have said yes.
The exteriors for Terry Thomas's beach cottage in "Bachelor Flat" were filmed at a small beach club that my best friend Mitzi's parents belonged to. I went there many times from 1962-1964. Marion Davies' enormous mansion, "Versailles By the Sea" was directly next door. At that time, it was a semi-seedy building trying to make a go as a private beach club.
"Are you married to a producer?" No, but Tuesday Weld went out with Hal March III for a while. If they'd been married, she'd have been Tuesday March the 3rd
It was great seeing Tuesday Weld here. I really liked her in "The Many Loves of Dobey Gillis." I also watched her in an episode of "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet."
This was such a great show.. Along with To Tell the Truth... they were entertaining and we got to see and hear performers in a different way. It was like you got to know them in a miore intimate way because you saw them as regular people and not 35 foot stars on the screen.
I couldn't stop laughing when Daly kept referring to a Cow as a HE. I laughed so hard I thought I'd never stop ! Finally the very astute Dorothy pointed out Daly's error. And Daly gave some lame excuse that his not an expert on Cows and I'm sure he knows better but boy was it great to have one of the biggest laughs in some time, thank you !!!
Yes, I picked up on that right away, also. My take on his response was that is was not so much an excuse, however. I think the first part of his response was sarcasm because he was pi**ed that Dorothy called him on his error in front of a national tv audience. John was normally a controlled and polite moderator with a desire to express himself succinctly and precisely. It must have been quite galling to have Dorothy "rub his nose in it" during the show. His immediate reaction showed that he was testy but, being the gentleman that he was, he cleaned it up in his next few sentences.
And also great in Lord Love a Duck, Pretty Poison and I Walk the Line. I was also a big fan of Tuesday Weld growing up, as were the men twice her age whom she dated while she was growing up. She's a little over five years older than me.
Tuesday Weld is one of the great beauties of all time!!! She was in a movie called 'Rock!! Rock!! Rock!!'. She looked 18 y.o. in it, but was only 13 at the time.
I was fortunate enough to of had Mr. Dana Andrew's brother for my high school principal for one year- Sadly, he passed way before my junior Year- Sweet, classy, cultured first class Gentleman.
Kind of surprised they did not mention long time guest panelist Ernie Kovacs at all in this episode. He passed away less than 24 hours before this broadcast.
Dorothy was so inquisitive and extremely intelligent, all very attractive and endearing qualities, that she possessed She was a master at this game !!! And she was one of our very best and one of my "power women"- women that I look up to.
Of all the decades in Hollywood history, I think the 1960's had the most beautiful women ever. And Tuesday Weld was no exception. No other decade comes close for me. And during the 1960's, there weren't just beautiful women from here in America, but also from other countries such as Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Sweden. Thumbs up if you agree.
I agree. But the '30s, '40s and '50s had some real classic beauties too. Vivien Leigh, Greta Garbo, Maureen O'Hara, Gene Tierney, Alida Valli, Grace Kelly, to name a few….
Kinda corny, but when my children or students say, "I'm thirsty!", I sometimes reply: "Hi, Thursday, I'm Friday! Wanna go out Saturday for a Sundae?!" 😂
I used to watch her on the Dobie Gillis show before the Flintstone's were on tv in black & white. Her name on the show was Thalia Meninger & the boys all adored her. Also, Bob Denver (Gilligan) was Maynard G Krebs, the beatnik friend.
I wouldn't describe Dorothy Kilgallen as "gorgeous" but I always regret not seeing those famous fotos of her as Playboy's 1965 centerfold of the year....
@@TheCondescendingRedditor Oh, silly me ! You meant Tuesday Weld ? Well, she was no Marie Dressler (now that was one HOT BABE) but Tuesday was one fetching lass ! Sorry about the confusion. In penance I shall give myself 40 lashes with a wet noodle... Oh the humanity !!
First, I remember that performance with Arlene at the Sombrero Playhouse that Bennett spoke about at the top. I was a teen in Phoenix at the time and my mother ran with the Regional Theatre crowd. Then, I'm so glad to see Tuesday, our brilliant Thalia Menninger, and I want to speak in her behalf: for years, Carson put her down on his Show, saying he couldn't stand her, and it only was because Carson came on to her when they were doing this WML episode, and she wasn't interested. No one connected dots that it was only because of it, WHICH WASN'T FAIR TO TUESDAY. Fascinating WML episode for me.
At 10:20 Dana Andrews pats Dorothy on the shoulder for guessing the gondolier... she should have been recognized by the regular panel members more in some similar fashion... she was very smart and properly guessed many, many contestants... I always heard the others didn't dig her all that much... sort of looked down on her? Why I wonder. She certainly helped sell thousands of copies of NY Journal American with her column. Sometimes she gets on a roll and takes it right through to the end of the questioning and she's correct.... leaving everyone else in the dust.....
The other panelists didn't trust her because they would gossip backstage and some the gossip ended up in her column. Also she was conservative politically and the other regular panelists were, I suppose, Democrats. Also they complained that she would hog the camera by asking questions when she already knew the line or mystery guest. But despite these problems, I don't think they despised her; Bennett said she was very nice; she just wasn't fully one of the gang.
I have to say I clicked on one of these videos to see the mystery guest and I haven't been able to stop watching one show after another. I am totally captivated. I do wish the panel and John talked less to each other still, it's very entertaining.
@@BernardProfitendieu LOL Obviously. I had to use buddy because youtube won't let me use the word I actually wanted to say. Internal banter doesn't make sense. It may make sense to your fractured mind but not to people who actually took English classes in high school and college. Yes I do talk like that when I'm being sarcastic. Why am I not surprised you don't understand sarcasm? LOL
@@BernardProfitendieu Maybe you should try looking up the meaning of internal. I'm sure your phone must have a dictionary in it even if you've never used it before.
1:22 Bennett: "We're gonna have three gentlemen tonight, and for the sex interest, Dorothy's gonna have to carry on all by herself." I imagine that part of my reaction is applying modern interpretations to phrases that didn't mean quite the same thing in 1962.
This is one of very few times that I have no idea what he actually meant by this, knowing that what I think he meant is incongruous with the time period.
Bennet was kind of a lech at times -- often, when a woman he found attractive was doing something other than modeling or acting -- like being a judge! -- he'd declare it "a waste".
It's interesting that Dana Andrews chose to disqualify himself when he knew it was Tuesday Weld because it was for a reason that Bennett or any of the regulars would *never* have disqualified themselves for. Because Dana and Tuesday shared the same agent, Dana remembered a remark his agent made that made him realize once the questioning took place that made him add two and two together and realize it had to be Tuesday, but that would have just represented a case of sound deductive thinking on his part (like Bennett or Dorothy or Arlene making a deduction based on who was in town etc. or playing a hunch on what someone they knew had said).
@@sbalman Not when its a case of figuring something out based on what a friend of theirs had said. One time Bennett batted off Jean Simmons on the first question based on something he'd heard the producer of the film she was in say. If they'd been tipped off that "so and so is going to be the Mystery Guest" then they'd disqualify themselves but if they were going by a hunch based on what someone said, they usually would go for broke.
Easy to see why Dobie Gillis was obsessed with Thalia Menninger. It was 1959, I was 10 years old, and I thought she was the most beautiful female I ever saw. Tuesday Weld had a sweet gentle face and a girl-next-door look about her.
First of all, I wish to add my two cents to celebrating the breathtaking beauty of Ms. Tuesday Weld--crutches and all. That done, I'd like to point out that, when Daly asked the first contestant where he was from, his answer was simply, "Italy." Therefore I'm a bit surprised that that sly old fox, Bennet Cerf, didn't make a point of asking him from which part of Italy he hailed. (It would have been refreshing to have a contestant from Venice who *not* a gondolier!)
519DJW Actually, I think you were right in the first place-- no rephrasing required. It wasn't uncommon at all for Bennett in particular to ask about where the contestant was from if it wasn't specified, before the real questioning began. "John, is there some reason you haven't told us where Mr. So-and-So is from?" "No, Bennett, just an oversight-- he's from Toledo, Ohio". Or, "Yes, we feel it would give too much away." Perfectly legitimate initial question which Bennett asked on many occasions.
+519DJW Well, probably you are right, particularly after all those breath-takingly tormental years which have just passed since Bennet's slip. Merry Christmas, anyway !
She was in the movie Pretty Poison with Anthony perkins back in 1968 and she was also Elvis' costar in the movie Wild in The Country. She was also married to Dudley Moore from 1975 to 1980.
Dana Andrews was a gentleman and disqualified himself. There were two episodes I watched where Bennett Cerf should have and didn’t. One of them was with Janet Leigh and the other was with Ginger Rogers.
Dobie's heartthrob, sweet, dreamy, creamy Thalia Malinger! No mention of Dobie Gillis which surprised me since it was a CBS series still currently on the air at the time.

I just love Dana Andrews. He was memorable in Laura and The Best Years of Our Lives. His appearance on this delightful show was especially sweet.
Do you notice how cordial everyone is, so mannerly. It is lovely to see.
I have a notion to second that emotion ! So refreshing to see well mannered & polite folk !
When the culture was Christian and most people went to church. Church- going wasn't ridiculed and was portrayed as normal in movies and tv.
I believe one of the reasons why people are so cordial was because of the show's host John Daley.
@@1189paris You know it is not really that hard to be nice and cordial (up to the point one is able). We excuse bad manners today too easily.
Here in Israel where I have lived for almost 9 years I was struck when I arrived by the lack of courtesy prevalent amongst many of the indigenous business people in shops and such. I was told, 'well that's just how Israeli's are". I said no thank you, courtesy is courtesy and politeness should be practiced everywhere, one's supposed "culture" is no excuse.
Since then I have found most Israeli's are extremely nice people.
Now if we can only get the Australians aboard!😁
LindySellsHomes The majority of television, if not practically all of it, in 1962 was done with cordiality. It would've been radical for it not to be.
Mr. Dana Andrews; one of the most underrated actors ever to grace the silver screen. He gave wonderful performances in classics such as Laura, Where The Sidewalk Ends, The Best Years of Our Lives, Elephant Walk, Daisy Kenyon, A Walk In the Sun, Beyond a Reasonable Doubt, Canyon Passage, State Fair, Boomerang, Fallen Angel, my personal favorite; The Oxbow Incident and so many more!

I do aree!
"The Best Years of Our Lives" is one of my all-time favorite movies, and Dana was fantastic in his role as Fred Derry.
He was actually acknowledged as a fine actor....

its nice to have guests from other countries. i've been to italy, and to go on a gondola ride in venice is my top recommendation :)
Dorothy was so inquisitive and extremely intelligent, all very attractive and endearing qualities, that she possessed She was a master at this game !!! And she was one of our very best and one of my "power women"- women that I look up to.
Of all the decades in Hollywood history, I think the 1960's had the most beautiful women ever. And Tuesday Weld was no exception.
No other decade comes close for me. And during the 1960's, there weren't just beautiful women from here in America, but also from other countries such as Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Sweden.
Thumbs up if you agree.
agreed! tuesday weld was quite the looker!!!
I agree. But the '30s, '40s and '50s had some real classic beauties too. Vivien Leigh, Greta Garbo, Maureen O'Hara, Gene Tierney, Alida Valli, Grace Kelly, to name a few….
Also the hairstyles were very feminine. Longer and softer, The fifties were a notorious decade for short contrived hairstyles.
Agree. The 50s were also great, in my opinion. But the 60s absolutely rocked girl-wise ;)
There were still some beautiful women, not to mention hunky actors, in the 70s as well.
Tuesday weld was just so so pretty… I was so impressed with her natural beauty when I was a young girl
First time I ever heard of Tuesday Weld was in a Flintstones cartoon where she is called "Tuesday Wednesday".
I never saw that one but I remember Ann Margrock.(Ann Margret).
Yes, and Fred says to her, 'Hey Tuesday Wednesday, what are you doin' Saturday.'
Kinda corny, but when my children or students say, "I'm thirsty!", I sometimes reply: "Hi, Thursday, I'm Friday! Wanna go out Saturday for a Sundae?!" 😂
I used to watch her on the Dobie Gillis show before the Flintstone's were on tv in black & white. Her name on the show was Thalia Meninger & the boys all adored her. Also, Bob Denver (Gilligan) was Maynard G Krebs, the beatnik friend.
Or is it Wednesday Tuesday
I loved this show and still do. It’s so wonderful to see the manners and decorum of that time. I was 11 years old in 1962. Still seems like yesterday.
Tuesday was one of countless beauties from back in the day
She is beautiful, really sweet lady
Never heard of her but jeez she is drop dead gorgeous.
steve Fowler - U live under a rock??? Lol
You can see her on the Dobie Gillis Show reruns
All I can say if you've never heard of Tuesday weld then you must be a child
Dorothy's parents lived to be over 90 and her mom lived to 1988
"Shall I do The Twist, now?"I liked that clever line from Tuesday:)
In the voting tally of the New York Film Critics Awards for 1968, Tuesday Weld was runner-up for Best Actress for "Pretty Poison".
+Miles Montemore Pretty Poison was a very good film which was totally not promoted for some reason.
@@barrykendrick3146 , a terrific film.
She is gorgeous.
I wouldn't describe Dorothy Kilgallen as "gorgeous" but I always regret not seeing those famous fotos of her as Playboy's 1965 centerfold of the year....
@@jubalcalif9100 thanks for bringing back a 4 year old comment 😂 but I'm 100% certain I was referring to Tuesday Weld
@@TheCondescendingRedditor Oh, silly me ! You meant Tuesday Weld ? Well, she was no Marie Dressler (now that was one HOT BABE) but Tuesday was one fetching lass ! Sorry about the confusion. In penance I shall give myself 40 lashes with a wet noodle... Oh the humanity !!
What a great actor Mr Andrews was...Where the sidewalk ends, Fallen Angel and so many more.
TUESDAY WELD....hot as hell......and looks great now.
"Discombobulated", I love that word.
I use it often.
First, I remember that performance with Arlene at the Sombrero Playhouse that Bennett spoke about at the top. I was a teen in Phoenix at the time and my mother ran with the Regional Theatre crowd. Then, I'm so glad to see Tuesday, our brilliant Thalia Menninger, and I want to speak in her behalf: for years, Carson put her down on his Show, saying he couldn't stand her, and it only was because Carson came on to her when they were doing this WML episode, and she wasn't interested. No one connected dots that it was only because of it, WHICH WASN'T FAIR TO TUESDAY. Fascinating WML episode for me.
She should have smacked him with one of her crutches ;)
How did he come on to her??? Off the show or when she was sarcastic responding to his question to her. I saw that as turning him off.
At 10:20 Dana Andrews pats Dorothy on the shoulder for guessing the gondolier... she should have been recognized by the regular panel members more in some similar fashion... she was very smart and properly guessed many, many contestants... I always heard the others didn't dig her all that much... sort of looked down on her? Why I wonder. She certainly helped sell thousands of copies of NY Journal American with her column. Sometimes she gets on a roll and takes it right through to the end of the questioning and she's correct.... leaving everyone else in the dust.....
The other panelists didn't trust her because they would gossip backstage and some the gossip ended up in her column. Also she was conservative politically and the other regular panelists were, I suppose, Democrats. Also they complained that she would hog the camera by asking questions when she already knew the line or mystery guest. But despite these problems, I don't think they despised her; Bennett said she was very nice; she just wasn't fully one of the gang.
Sweet lord. That man is STUNNINGLY handsome!!!!!
At the cow wash
Workin' at the cow wash, girl
Come on and sing it with me...
Dana Andrews was in one of my all time favorite movies Laura 1944 Otto Preminger director.
This show is my happy place 👍
I have to say I clicked on one of these videos to see the mystery guest and I haven't been able to stop watching one show after another. I am totally captivated. I do wish the panel and John talked less to each other still, it's very entertaining.
it wouldn't be "very entertaining" if they didn't have their internal banter
@@BernardProfitendieu Internal banter??? Yo, buddy just because you have voices in your head doesn't mean everyone else does.
@@lennybuttz2162 not your "buddy" (do you really talk like that??) and can't help you with your reading comprehension challenges
@@BernardProfitendieu LOL Obviously. I had to use buddy because youtube won't let me use the word I actually wanted to say. Internal banter doesn't make sense. It may make sense to your fractured mind but not to people who actually took English classes in high school and college. Yes I do talk like that when I'm being sarcastic. Why am I not surprised you don't understand sarcasm? LOL
@@BernardProfitendieu Maybe you should try looking up the meaning of internal. I'm sure your phone must have a dictionary in it even if you've never used it before.
1:22 Bennett: "We're gonna have three gentlemen tonight, and for the sex interest, Dorothy's gonna have to carry on all by herself." I imagine that part of my reaction is applying modern interpretations to phrases that didn't mean quite the same thing in 1962.
This is one of very few times that I have no idea what he actually meant by this, knowing that what I think he meant is incongruous with the time period.
He meant, Dorothy had to supply the feminine perspective
Robert Melson He's right though. Dorothy IS the only sex interest on the panel tonight!!
Bennet was kind of a lech at times -- often, when a woman he found attractive was doing something other than modeling or acting -- like being a judge! -- he'd declare it "a waste".
@@MTThought People were either the female or male sex, not gender.
It's interesting that Dana Andrews chose to disqualify himself when he knew it was Tuesday Weld because it was for a reason that Bennett or any of the regulars would *never* have disqualified themselves for. Because Dana and Tuesday shared the same agent, Dana remembered a remark his agent made that made him realize once the questioning took place that made him add two and two together and realize it had to be Tuesday, but that would have just represented a case of sound deductive thinking on his part (like Bennett or Dorothy or Arlene making a deduction based on who was in town etc. or playing a hunch on what someone they knew had said).
Dana was a righteous dude. And a helluva an actor.
I have seen the "regulars" disqualify" themselves.
@@waynej2608 He was in an excellent episode of The Twilight Zone, "No Time Like The Past."
Bennett disqualified himself when his son was on.
@@sbalman Not when its a case of figuring something out based on what a friend of theirs had said. One time Bennett batted off Jean Simmons on the first question based on something he'd heard the producer of the film she was in say. If they'd been tipped off that "so and so is going to be the Mystery Guest" then they'd disqualify themselves but if they were going by a hunch based on what someone said, they usually would go for broke.
She was so gorgeous and she was in some great movies.
Dana Andrews and Johnny Carson, yum!!!
Jan Rene if that's your eye yum back :)
Well said Jan..and the ltalian guy is very handsome too.
I like Tuesday Weld and she's beautiful and a good actress
Easy to see why Dobie Gillis was obsessed with Thalia Menninger. It was 1959, I was 10 years old, and I thought she was the most beautiful female I ever saw. Tuesday Weld had a sweet gentle face and a girl-next-door look about her.
First of all, I wish to add my two cents to celebrating the breathtaking beauty of Ms. Tuesday Weld--crutches and all. That done, I'd like to point out that, when Daly asked the first contestant where he was from, his answer was simply, "Italy." Therefore I'm a bit surprised that that sly old fox, Bennet Cerf, didn't make a point of asking him from which part of Italy he hailed. (It would have been refreshing to have a contestant from Venice who *not* a gondolier!)
jqbtube He could have phrased it differently; e.g. "Are you from Venice?" That would have almost nailed it.
519DJW Actually, I think you were right in the first place-- no rephrasing required. It wasn't uncommon at all for Bennett in particular to ask about where the contestant was from if it wasn't specified, before the real questioning began. "John, is there some reason you haven't told us where Mr. So-and-So is from?" "No, Bennett, just an oversight-- he's from Toledo, Ohio". Or, "Yes, we feel it would give too much away." Perfectly legitimate initial question which Bennett asked on many occasions.
+519DJW Well, probably you are right, particularly after all those breath-takingly tormental years which have just passed since Bennet's slip. Merry Christmas, anyway !
What a wonderful thrill seeing Johnny Carson before he got famous.
infamous
Dana❤
Before I was born...but this is wonderful! Great old TV shows!
Now THIS is Super Tuesday!
Good play on words!
Mr. De pita is handsome! Oh sail me along the canal! ❤
*_GONDOLIER_*
*_MAKES AUTOMATIC COW WASHING MACHINES_* 1:27 Bennett pronounced it wrong. Her name was pronounced like "Donna".
She was in the movie Pretty Poison with Anthony perkins back in 1968 and she was also Elvis' costar in the movie Wild in The Country. She was also married to Dudley Moore from 1975 to 1980.
3 men and yet Dorothy Kilgallen outsmarts them all
Condescending comment. She is brilliant. Period. Man or woman.
My cousin was a pilot ,and flew celebritys she was one.
and?
Tuesday Weld was achingly beautiful.
Cerf was close. Tuesday Weld was 18 at the time of this show.
"Does this machine spread anything?" - Johnny Carson, 1962
Poor little Tuesday. I've never seen this before and was taken aback when she came out on crutches:(
7:07 - 7:25
The way Mr. Daly raises the hopes of the panelists.
😅🙃
Be well, stay kind and blessings to all ~
Hard to believe Tuesday Weld was only 18 in this episode. By 1962 she’d moved out of her mother’s house and was dating 45 year old men.
1962? Tuesday Weld has a modern look to her, very attractive.
In 1954 they had “Washes Cows”
In 1962 they had “Makes Automatic Cow Washing Machines”
Progress never stops. How wonderful!
tuesday weld amazing actress and so beautiful
she was 18 years 5 months when this show aired.
Discombobulated … oh, that Cerf, isn’t he a panic.
Tuesday is the definition of "pretty" - they should put her face in the dictionary. Thanks.
+Neal Zetek Natalie Wood was more like beautiful, sophisticated & vivacious.
@@jackmeadows9792 Personal reference. They are both really pretty.
@@jackmeadows9792 Sure. So, I'll take Natalie on Tuesday, and Tuesday on Wednesday. And both, on Friday. Sorry.
Pretty is the accurate word.
"Dana Andrews said prunes,
Gave him the runes,
And passing them used lots of skills......"
~Science Fiction/Double Feature, "The Rocky Horror Show"
I especially love seeing Tuesday.
You see, she looks like my late girlfriend and I miss her every day.
Your gf must have been beautiful. Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss.
I cannot believe it took that long for the panel to get the Italian guy.
Dana Andrews was a gentleman and disqualified himself. There were two episodes I watched where Bennett Cerf should have and didn’t. One of them was with Janet Leigh and the other was with Ginger Rogers.
Turns out she's now Hollywood's leading witch...
True story.
Tuesday's voice when answering the questions was so cute.
Yes, it was a lot like the voice Piper Laurie made when she appeared on WML on Oct. 15, 1961.
Tuesday Weld, so pretty 😍
And very, very talented- check out "Pretty Poison" and "Lord Love a Duck" for two top examples of her abilities onscreen.
When I was young, I developed a crush on Tuesday Weld watching her on the TV show "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis."
Who didn’t?
the enchanting Thalia
She's very pretty!
Yes ! Dorothy is quite fetching ! And Tuesday Weld ain't bad looking either !!
Tuesday Weld is 79 years old now in early 2023.
Dobie's heartthrob, sweet, dreamy, creamy Thalia Malinger! No mention of Dobie Gillis which surprised me since it was a CBS series still currently on the air at the time.
Never knew Tuesday was a relation to William Weld of Mass former Governor.
Eh???
