I loved them as individuals as well as a team. They were so funny and obviously friends. I also loved how they both seemed so genuine like an average person, instead of a celebrity.
Just got Bennett Cerf’s autobiography, hope he tells some interesting stories about What’s My Line in it. Especially what he thought of Arlene Francis, who he obviously loved, and Dorothy Kilgallen, who he’s been critical of in interviews. The chemistry between the panelists on What’s My Line was incredible and so entertaining.
I think Bennett was quite smitten with Arlene even though they were both married. As literate and literary as he was he had an interesting habit of using his own pronunciations of guests' surnames despite the other panelists saying their names correctly.

Why didn't they talk good of dorathy? She had a better attitude than Arlene. Arlene says things about men on show it she don't let her husband.
