They were hilarious on this episode. Five more witty people playing a parlor game you couldn't find. I thought it must have been difficult for Kollmar to come up with a voice he had never used as a joke at home. Then again, maybe he didn't make so many jokes at home. I thought for sure they'd get Garry Moore's voice when he pretended to be the tough guy from Brooklyn. There were a few cases when his own voice shone through just a little. Sadly, Fred Allen died just five months after this. It's interesting that after Allen and Dorothy died, they were not replaced by new regulars. Steve Allen and Martin Gabel were guest panelists a lot, but not regulars. No woman replaced Dorothy. One might have thought of Betty White or Phyllis Newman as a possibility, but neither of them would have complemented Arlene like Dorothy did. She had both wit and gravitas and a strong desire to play the game well, not just for laughs. "I've got the time and you've got the inclination." They actually got away with quite suggestive material. I probably started watching WML in 1958, so I wouldn't have seen any of the shows with Fred Allen when they were originally broadcast.
I never knew anything about Dorothy Kilgallen until I saw these WML videos and started reading about her. I think it's safe to say that she was a more widely known and admired person than any of the other regular panel members. That's saying something, because the others were highly successful with substantial public images.
He was an adulterous philander. They didn't have an open marriage until after she walked in on him having sex with another woman in their marital bed, after which she refused to share a bed with him and to lie in that bed again. His was the bed she was placed in after she was murdered.

@@Dawn-iu8nxwere you a fly on the wall in that home? You seem to have plenty of knowledge on this. P.S I loved dorothy.
byrdman byrdman Dorothy’s friend Marc Sinclaire was video- recorded talking in the year 2000. He also had known Dick Kollmar. He is an excellent, reliable source on why Dorothy never would have voluntarily lain down in the bed in which she lay when Marc found her. Indeed, 12 years before Dorothy’s death, Dick Kollmar did something with another guy in that bed, and Dorothy walked in the room (on the third floor of their brownstone) and surprised them.
@Jeepman89 I'm not sure where you got that from. In Lee Isreal's biography on Dorothy Kilgallen, she describes Richard Kollmar's numerous affairs, and all of them were heterosexual encounters.
He was Boston Blackie on radio for several years, and he and Dorothy hosted a greatly successful radio show for a good, long while. " Breakfast with Dick and Dorothy " if you can believe it.
yes, it was highly popular in New York. I believe they made $1000 per week during broadcasting times. Also, I believe she was still doing her columns in which she made even more. Rumor has it that she was paid quite a bit for "What's my Line". She always had income streaming in, unlike her husband who dabbled in nightclubs, restaurants, and art galleries. In other words, they had enough money to start businesses and such and "Boston Blackie" also dabbled in other women, although Dorothy didn't seem to mind since she found her own play-toys (Johnnie Rae, etc.)

@@chairlesnicol672My pleasure. I just "discovered" story about mysteries death of Dorothy Kilgallen and been reading everything what is attainable including comments on YT Just come across their payment on WML.
I believe I have watched every "What's My Line" that Dorothy was on. What a horrific tragedy that such a beautiful and a huge asset to the World was murdered over 50+ years ago.
Amen...She must have known something. How sad and WHAT A LOSS THAT THIS LOVELY LADY was taken by someone who had done something to warrant her death...So sad
Watching these old WML shows, I too came to be enamored by her intelligence/wit, charm and her femininity while being a dominating force in a male orientated journalistic field! If I were to be asked who I would want to talk to from the past, Dorothy Kilgallen would at least be one of my picks! my opinion 🦂
When she died, the cocktail in her system was strikingly similar to the one that killed Marilyn Monroe. And within a week, her assistant died a mysterious death as well.
This show could not happen today, with the internet and social media. The Petty Girl was huge, back in the day, and George Petty would be instantly recognized were he to appear on TV today, as creator of an iconic pop culture image. A similar situation happened when Earle Stanley Gardiner was on WML. Sixty years ago, his name was known all over the world as the author of the Perry Mason detective novels, but apparently the producers were certain enough that no one on the panel would recognize him by sight. So, as in the case of Mr. Petty, he was introduced as "Mr. X." And Bennett was a book publisher! (I've forgotten if Bennett was on the panel that night.) Imagine no one today knowing what J. K. Rowling or Gary Trudeau looks like. I love the shows with the Allens, Fred and Steve. And Fred would be gone by February of 1956. Dick and Dorothy had, respectively, about 15 and 9 years before tragedy would overtake them. Oh, the good old days! Dorothy looks especially fetching on this evening.
John & Dick seemed to loose track of the stated "Line", i.e. that of Broadway producer, particularly with regard to questions regarding whether or not the panellists could use his services.
I'm reasonably certain that the characters of Irene Draper and Roger Daley in Woody Allen's movie Radio Days (1987) were based on Dorothy Kilgallen and Dick Kollmar. Allen said that he collected stories about the people on radio and that they were based on actual shows.
When I was a young boy and read books published by Random house I never knew the people behind it. It is obvious now that they had to be like mr Surf 😚
“If you had more talent, you might avail yourself of my services.” What a swipe from Dorothy’s husband. He was a failed actor (rumor was he married her thinking her status might get him into stardom), so I wonder if he was jealous of her accomplishments.
I perceived a coolness between Miss Kilgallen and her husband. This could have been around the time she confessed to Richard Kollmar that he was not the father of their youngest son. She had had an affair with singer Johnnie Ray.
@@nsnopper Woman is easy to blame when she has affair. But in that case I feel sorry for Dorothy for being married to a man who didn't give her attention,love and intimacy.
When I was a child in the 1950's in NYC my mother would listen to Breakfast with Dorothy and Dick. They discussed all things Broadway and New York. It was broadcast from their New York apartment. I loved the show even as a child. My father hated it, but it was on every morning as we got ready for school.
The original joke was "what did the leaning tower of Pisa say to Big Ben" "If you've got the time ive got the inclination". And its still wrong for the same reason.
Dorothy allegedly cheated on Kollmar with singer Johnny Ray and had his child. According to one citation, Kollmar thought the child was his until she eventually admitted the truth. I never could have imagined such a thing about her. Just goes to show that people are often the opposite of what they appear to be.
@@Celisar1 I read it on Johnny Ray’s Wikipedia page and on another site that I can’t recall at the moment, but it could be “fake news” since Wikipedia is sometimes unreliable. If I find the other citation I’ll post it.
