Was Arlene ever a mystery challenger/guest?

For some reason I feel hungry for Special K, but I'm not sure why...

Wonderful! Brought a tear to my eyes!

Dorothy Kilgallon was not perfect: she drank, sometimes needing time off to recover, took drugs, AND her third child, a boy, was from another father, not her husband.

Her handwriting is unmatched

3:20 Dorothy was shaking? I guess the delirium tremens were beginning to set in. Eventually, she drank herself to death.

“Recovered@ in a broad sense…

As an Indian, glad to see an Indian guest 😅❤

I wanted to be a published writer and Benet Cerf to be my publisher at Random House. Still hoping.

I grew up with them. Loved them. I fancied them to be my family as I didn’t like mine.

I binged all the episodes on "their actual" channel love that show! It really needs to come back but it definitely won't

Debbie Reynolds always had trouble on this show of the dingbat variety. I allege that she viewed Dorothy kilgallen, one you can see the inside edge of her mask is up rather high ,two she has her head tilted so far back that it's making a horizontal direct line to the contestant.🧐

Very sweet; she was so beloved. ❤

I know what's my line ,started before I was born, but I just throughly enjoy watching it in reruns

"Yes, and you might even SING for us, Dorothy!" lol - Arlene (as always, SUCH wit from Our Ms. Francis) 🌺🌲🌳🌳🌲

Dorothy and Marilyn Monroe were good friends. Both died mysteriously. hmmmm

Dorothy Kilgallen got quite the reception! I liked how she acknowledged the audience at the end.

How did Debbie Reynolds immediately ask, " are you in a field other than acting?"

Those were the Golden Days! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I think author and researcher Mark Shaw is correct. Ms. Kilgallen was murdered in 1965.

They should have put her in a mask while answering questions...

She knew too much

This show would never be on today's television...its too classy and intelligent!

Women looked so feminine and classy here.

Where is Bennett Cerf?!!!!!!

Unbelievable!!!!!! Never knew this?!!!!!!!

In case anyone reading this doesn't already know this, Dorothy Kilgallen DIDN'T commit suicide, nor did she "accidentally" take an overdose on pills!

a brilliant wonderful woman a brilliant reporter. RIP🙏🏻

I just love this program so grateful for these clips.

what did arlene have over daly? pedo? ar lene f is sicko !

I don't know why people say Daly didn't like Dorothy. Debbie Reynolds was very pretty.

I really like her ⭐

I like Dorothy good, but Arlene is easily my favorite panelist. Such wit and class.

The CIA killed Dorothy Kilgallen

I would love to know what Dorothy Killgallan knew about who killed JFK. Where are her all her notes? She was smart. Did she really accidentally overdose?

Love dorothy kilgallen a brave and courageous lady whose life was taken by those who refused to let the truth be written

I don't understand why non of her colleagues question her death. I know the world is dirty. I except that. But.......

Very little volume and no captions makes it difficult to know what was being said. I would have liked this one but I can't hear that whispering

For such an iconic and sharp minded woman Dorothy certainly had a messy personal life. Caught her husband in the act with another man at their park avenue brownstone, agreed to maintain the marriage for professional reasons, had her third child with singer Johnny Ray who was also gay, the child who was later disowned by her husband, and later had an ongoing affair with Ohio newspaper columnist Ron Pataky whom Dorothy suspected was CIA and who many believe was responsible for her death because of her involvement and investigative research into the Kennedy assassination.

Interesting that Debbie Reynolds, not one of the regular panel members, still managed to come up with the identity-revealing question. Smart lady! As for Dorothy, she was always my favorite on the panel. But in this episode, appearing as a nervous mystery guest still recovering from illness-Dorothy was extra endearing. How I miss the people on this show.

5:23

Rita Gam looks like Natalie Wood

Just a minor correction. The Navy defines the submarine as a boat, not a ship (at 8:22). By the way, Arlene asked (at 1:44) "do you work other places than Washington." Since his submarine was the George Washington (namesake of the city), his response should have been "no" to that.

I can't figure out why in all those years why didn't they bring out another chair?

wow - just read that arlene francis got $1,000 per show, while dorothy only got $500 per show. no wonder they never appeared to be close as you might think! hmmm

Anthony Perkins’s question asked if she was in “a moving picture.” A little dated for 1961.

She died young because she was about to expose some truth. She was courageous, smart, and dedicated.

You can tell from John Daly's initial expression after Arlene Francis said that Dorothy Kilgallen was nervous because she was sitting next to Daly that Daly for a moment thought that Arlene was making a critical comment about Daly, but then when she clarified her remark he then understood that she was complementing his handsomeness. You wonder where was Bennett Cerf when this episode of "What's My Line" was broadcast on TV back then? And was the reason that Dorothy was the mystery guest because she was on vacation at that time?

At 3:06 Arlene asks "Do you feel queer on that side?". Why would she ask that on national television? Did she know something private about Dorothy that we didn't?
