Nine minutes, but worth it.

People did talk differently back then, didn't they?

Brilliant, and that goes for the panel as well.

"Are you a philosopher?" "Yes. I think very differently."

Yeah, the panel did well. I was surprised at how far off they were, and yet save it in the end. Even the MC goes above and beyond in this one.

I would argue that there is a similar number of people who speak just as well now as people did then. The difference is, more of "everybody else" is allowed on TV.

Great show, and one of my all-time favorite things on TV is the way John Daly explains himself, especially when he goes on at some length. Brilliant. Arlene Francis is a very canny player, and I was not surprised to see her catch on. I haven't seen this segment before; thanks!

I laughed out loud. Nice find for a sunday morning to go with my free DVD of godzilla from yesterday's papers. Karlos: Never having seen the show, does this mean the players are regulars and not random audience? One of the best bits was the publishing guy asking if Dali had published anything via his imprint. Had that been mere serendipity, it would have been quite awesome.

Sparx: Yes, Arlene Francis, Dorothy Kilgallen, and Bennett Cerf (the publisher) were all regulars. The fourth spot rotated every show, filled by a variety of show-biz celebs.

I remember seeing a What's My Line (as a rerun) in which the subject, an old man, turned out to have been an eyewitness to President Lincoln's assassination when he was a young boy.

Awesome find. I liked the sponsor's logo on the panelists desks... Now I just have to see the legendary "Saggar Maker's Bottom Knocker" episode on the British version

That was just fantastic, thank you. As with a lot of legendary figures in my mind, I still find it astonishing that Dali walked this earth in flesh and blood so recently.

By: piratebowling

piratebowling — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 05:40:35 -0800

(and jfrancis, that story of the guest who saw Lincoln's assassination is fantastic as well. That would be another clip I'd love to see!)

Kitty Carlisle was also on What's My Line but better known for To Tell the Truth.

People did talk differently back then, didn't they? until they all died of lung cancer. Thank you frobozz what a wonderful find.

Do you mean there was a time were you had to achieve something in order to be on t.v., as opposed to hoping to be on t.v. in order to achieve something in life? from the link: “Too many of the pupils believe that academic success is unnecessary, because they will be able to access fame and fortune quite easily through a reality TV show.”
