Ms. Kato lived to be 104 years old and was active in politcal and public life for most of that time. She was an advocate for women's rights and family planning, which helped to reduce abortion rates and maternal death rates. She was sometimes jailed for her activism, yet nevertheless she persisted.
When Arlene ever has an objection ... always stated in a fun-loving, yet serious manner. One Amazing Woman to grace the stage / our homes in a positive way.
Does it really matter whether Doris Day dies at the age of 97? The internet encourages cultural scholars to be lazy when a legendary entertainer is 97 years young. Then the entertainer dies and the cultural scholars snap to attention within seconds of learning the news. Liza Minnelli has more than two decades to go before she becomes 97. Does anyone have something nice to say about her on social media?
Such fun. You cannot find simple, wholesome fun like this on telly anymore. I wish I had been born much earlier in the 20th century. I have no heart for what is our world today. I would go back to this time most happily.
Doris in 2018 is 95 years old and looks like Doris Day still! She has the same personality, too, and the same passions, including caring for dogs and cats and the qualify of their lives.
To my knowledge, the only competitive Oscar that anyone won for any category in any film that Alfred Hitchcock directed was the song "Que Sera Sera" that Doris Day sang in that film.
I believe Hitchcock’s Rebecca won a competitive Oscar for the year 1940 for Best Picture, but that Oscar went to the producer, David O. selznick. That year’s Best Director Oscar went to John Ford for the equally brilliant Grapes of Wrath. Hitch never won a competitive Oscar himself, only an honorary one very late in his life.
Wow that Bob Young is such a good looking man! I have to say i love all the regulars on this show. Theyre all so charming and sweet and entertaining and smart!
I love how Mrs Kato shakes hands AND bows at the same time. You know, one might wonder how a show like this could keep people entertained for so long but ive been binge watching it and if i can enjoy it back to back to back then i certainly could enjoy it every SUnday. Doris Day completely lost.
Doris Day, a joy to behold. This fine lady did it all, without losing a step, and stilll managed to be so down to earth. RIP Doris your lovely smile shines eternal!
+Jeff Vaughn I"m a huge Doris Day fan, but to suggest that she looks about as good now as she did almost 60 years ago is well, major denial. She's had four facelifts or partial facelifts since the early 1970's, very good ones, but nonetheless, something also to be factored in. I do agree that she SOUNDS almost exactly the same as she did decades ago...
Mark Richardson Hilarious, because she's 93 years old. Yes, in the videos shot at her birthday she looks pretty good for her age, but come on, even at her Golden Globe appearance in 1989, with all the good work she had done, and all the amazing lighting and makeup, she didn't look 45 years old. Maybe 50 or 52, and that was 26 years ago. And I think she'd say the same, as she was 66 at the time. But if you think she doesn't look a day over 45 at age 93, you're certainly entitled to your opinion. We'll just have to agree to disagree, nothing wrong with that.
This is when Arlene Francis broke her ankle, hence the panel is discovered seated for a number of weeks, so Arlene does not have to hobble out on crutches.
I've been watching a lot of these what's My line videos for a good while now. They had a couple of 2-3 days after Doris Day's death this video shows up.
This is the period when G-T auditioned Ernie Kovacs as a possible permanent fourth panelist. He appeared for 10 out of the 13 weeks that part of the season. Gil Fates reported in his book that G-T wanted Kovacs. but Ernie turned down the contract because he had other ideas for television and did not want to be tied down to a live New York game show. In retrospect, Ernie's style -- satiric humor with big discontinuities -- was not quite right in program where the other panelists were witty and played the game straight.
I like Ernie Kovacs a lot, but I agree that he wasn't really the right fit for the show -- the episodes where he appears on the panel are invariably amusing and entertaining because of his quirky presence, but the game-playing itself is almost always thrown off-kilter because of that same quirkiness.
I love Kovacs on the panel, personally. He was great when he showed up for an episode of "You Bet Your Life" also (one of the funniest ever). But for some reason I can't get into his own TV work at *all*. He was experimental and avant garde for his time, yes, but deadly unfunny to me now, and I only watch old stuff.
as far as the show here, for a challenge to the panel, looks like the bartenders saved it, lol. But the gentleman stand up when the ladies leave the room, you won;t see that anymore. And we will never see the likes of Droid Day ever again. The last of the truly talented big Hollywood stars. Total class. We will miss you Doris.
The last Dodgers-Giants played in New York City occurred on this date at the Polo Grounds. The Giants won 3-2, with Curt Barclay beating Don Drysdale. It would be the last victory for Barclay as a New York Giant (and he would only win one more game with the Giants on the west coast) while Drysdale's career took him to a place in Baseball's Hall of Fame. I attended my first major league game the day before with my parents and my brother (five years older). My hero, Duke Snider, hit a key home run and the Dodgers won, 5-4. I was a few months short of my fifth birthday and had just started kindergarten in Queens. Sadly, I never got to see a game at Ebbets Field. My favorite team and all my favorite players were playing home games 3000 miles away the following April.
Your comment appears to be for a different video. I'm letting you know because the comment might be very interesting to those that viewed the video for which it was intended. I had this very same issue happened to me once when I commented on a video and I couldn't figure out how on Earth it wound up on the video to which it was posted. Sometimes TH-cam is weird! I'm glad you have such great memories related to a sporting event. I'm old enough to remember when about half the men still wore suits and hats to games and families could afford to go without it being an expensive outing, I often miss the good old days even though people are constantly trying to convince me life is so much better now it doesn't often feel like it.
When the last guests sign in "Michael and..." someone on the panel (I believe Bennett) interjects "Pub!" (17:55). A reference to the famous NYC drinking establishment on West 55th St.
Dorothy's question to the mystery guest, "Do you wear pajama tops rather well?" referred to the Movie "Pajama Game", which starred Doris Day and was released on August 29, 1957. At one point in a musical number towards the end of the show, Doris Day's character, Babe, comes on stage with only a pajama top and her new husband, Sid, the superintendent of the pajama factory, appears with only a pajama bottom. Babe says, "Married life is lot's of fun. Two can sleep as cheap as one."
What was the meaning of the exchange between John Daly and Ernie Kovacs at the end of his segment? JD: "How'd you do Wednesday night?" Kovacs: "I never lost so much money in my life."
My initial assumption was that Kovacs was in a high stakes card game. But the Red Sox beat the Yankees in 11 innings that night, so perhaps John knew Ernie was betting on the game? We'll never know! :)
Nice to see a female Japanese Senator at this point in time. The US had helped draft Japan's postwar constitution, providing greater rights for females in what had been, and continues to be, a patriarchal society....
Mr. Kovacs is only 37 years old in this clip, but looks closer to 50. Naturally some of that has to do with the greased-back hairstyle, but no doubt due to his smoking and heavy drinking. Sad that so many brilliant comedians (and actors, actresses) can be so tortured...
+DDumbrille most of the guests looked several years older than their actual age; around this time life expectancy was 7-9 yrs younger than today--many more ppl smoked, less drugs to deal with maladies, etc
Good grief. Ernie tries to explain why he's still in town and John says, "Let me!" Geez, John, let the contestants answer the questions asked of them unless they request your assistance.
That cracked me up when Ernie blew smoke in Dorothy's face!! It ranks up there when Ed Sullivan put on the mask Every WML show I've seen with Kovacs on has been hilarious.

Rest in Peace Doris Day (1922-2019)
💔
Robert Young; what a classy and handsome man.
But he faced his own problems whole life, so sad. A very good and capable actor only got due fame after switching to television.
He, along with Dorothy McGuire, starred in Enchanted Cottage. A movie stressing the inner rather than outer beauty. An unusual step for Hollywood.
@@jerrylee8261 Definitely odd for Hollywood. Sounds interesting. Thank you.
why can't they make shows like this again
Because people have changed
It's because our schools no longer cultivate the intellect, and our culture is no longer characterized by civility.
@@beadyeyedbrat…. IMO they have generally changed for the worse 🥴
Because there are no longer any stars with these people's class......
Ms. Kato lived to be 104 years old and was active in politcal and public life for most of that time. She was an advocate for women's rights and family planning, which helped to reduce abortion rates and maternal death rates. She was sometimes jailed for her activism, yet nevertheless she persisted.
Interesting, thank you
Thanks for this info. Very interesting.
She made me smile with her warmth.
Doris Day looks absolutely amazing. She is an American treasure!
Marc g & Rescuer of abandoned animals
@@billolsen4360 I'm with her on that too!
My all time favorite Doris Day❤️❤️❤️❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟
Three of my favorites: Ernie Kovacs, Robert Young, and Doris Day! Jackpot.
Style, class, intellect, and a good dose of highbrow comedy to make wholesome fun for the whole family.
Truck Taxi I'd add professionalism and stage etiquette to those attributes. These people, particularly Daly and Francis, knew what worked on TV.
I guess Im kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online?
@Jace Kyle flixportal :D
@Dario Miles Thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it !
@Jace Kyle You are welcome =)
Doris Day a True Icon. A Classic Beauty & with a Very Beautiful singing voice 🥰 and Will be Truly missed 😢
"Does it contain alcohol?" "Yes." Arlene Frances: "Who said this wasn't useful?!" 😂 So many great panelists on this show!
When Arlene ever has an objection ... always stated in a fun-loving, yet serious manner. One Amazing Woman to grace the stage / our homes in a positive way.
A great singer and actress who had class and style. She was a joy to watch in films. A great talent. Sad to hear of her death today. RIP Doris.

Liza Minnelli has more than two decades to go before she becomes 97. Does anyone have something nice to say about her on social media?
Oscar Levant once said about her: "I knew Doris Day before she became a virgin." So-- RIP 97 year old virgin.
@@slaytonp "I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin," is what he said. When you change one word, it's no longer funny, makes no sense.
How can you not love Doris Day?

R.I.P. Doris. Thank you for all you have given us.
You were perfect in Alfred Hitchcock's
The Man Who Knew Too Much and every film you graced.
To my knowledge, the only competitive Oscar that anyone won for any category in any film that Alfred Hitchcock directed was the song "Que Sera Sera" that Doris Day sang in that film.
@z why such comment
Her singing to her son from the embassy hall and earlier in that great picture have been emblazoned in me since childhood.
Saw her in Midnight Lace which was, to me, an unusual film role for her. A very good movie.
I believe Hitchcock’s Rebecca won a competitive Oscar for the year 1940 for Best Picture, but that Oscar went to the producer, David O. selznick. That year’s Best Director Oscar went to John Ford for the equally brilliant Grapes of Wrath. Hitch never won a competitive Oscar himself, only an honorary one very late in his life.
Ernie Kovacs was a comedy genius. In college all of his shows were shown on loop in the student union. Amazing.
So nice to see Dorothy & Arlene stand for the lady senator from Japan.
That is the only time I can ever remember the women of the panel standing ti greet a guest.
@@el7jake They stood for older ladies like Eleanor Roosevelt. Arlene stood for Helen Hayes, but Dorothy didn't.
Wow that Bob Young is such a good looking man! I have to say i love all the regulars on this show. Theyre all so charming and sweet and entertaining and smart!
My grandfather looked a lot like Robert Young when he was younger!
Getting a perfume to get rid of cigar smell for the next Challenger was a stroke of genius
It was also mask the panel it was him.
I would love to walk into a coffee shop today and sit down with my Remington Rand portable typewriter. That's how *real* hipsters roll : )
And challenge anyone there to type on it!
And that scream from Dorothy at 6:30...!!
This was a good one! Ernie Kovacs was so crazy, & I love Ms Doris Day, adorable & talented.
I love how Mrs Kato shakes hands AND bows at the same time.
You know, one might wonder how a show like this could keep people entertained for so long but ive been binge watching it and if i can enjoy it back to back to back then i certainly could enjoy it every SUnday.
Doris Day completely lost.
Doris Day, a joy to behold. This fine lady did it all, without losing a step, and stilll managed to be so down to earth. RIP Doris your lovely smile shines eternal!
She had looks AND class.
Amazing I was watching this episode yesterday and this happened. RIP Doris Day
I've been watching these what's my line for a good while and a couple 2-3 days after her death this one shows up.
Beyond stunning...Doris Day.
Such a joy to watch this.
I am so in love with Ernie Kovacs. Thinking about how he lost his life to a terrible car accident makes me so sad. He was so charming and funny.
Yes so sad and then his daughter having a simiiar crash years later and losing her life....
He died with a cigar still on his hands. Great loss, I adored him.
You and me both.
Probably lost control of the car while lighting up yet another repulsive cigar
I used to watch the Ernie Kovacs show as a child back in the 70s. Great entertainer! RIP Mr. Kovacs!
That japanese writing on the chalkboard is exquisite!
I so wish that they could have gotten Bennetts reaction to Ernies pinching him on camera.......
Doris Day is one gorgeous lady and so pleasant with it!
The senator from Japan was so likable! :)
Doris Day had a perfect pitch - no living singer has it today - Natalie cole had it too and so did patsy cline
Doris Day & Arlene Francis starred together in The Thrill of it All in 1963. Just 6 years after this episode.
I love that movie! So silly but so much fun. :)
Kovacs was a riot!
Ernie Kovacs was funnier than I remembered him.
Robert young l have just discovered was very handsome..
I discovered that years ago. :D
Wow, nice screams, Dorothy! Didn't expect a second one!
Did Dorothy scream more than once? 😱
@@yatinexile7144 yesh, first when Ernie smoked in front of Dorothy and then she knew the mixing of Martini.
Two celebrity guests in one night. Very rare.
Doris Day is now 90 years old and she looks about as good now as she did then and that's pretty damn good. She's ageless.
Koop Dahvill Yes, Doris Day remains gorgeous, even in her ninth decade!
+Jeff Vaughn I"m a huge Doris Day fan, but to suggest that she looks about as good now as she did almost 60 years ago is well, major denial.

Mark Richardson Someone needs their prescription checked. Maybe 75-77, but 45? Hilarious.
Mark Richardson Hilarious, because she's 93 years old.

But if you think she doesn't look a day over 45 at age 93, you're certainly entitled to your opinion. We'll just have to agree to disagree, nothing wrong with that.
That is certainly a very nice thing to say but it is simply not true. no one looks as good at 90 as they did at 20.
Rest in peace Ernie Kovacs
Doris Day...forever important and so gracious and deeply missed..
This is when Arlene Francis broke her ankle, hence the panel is discovered seated for a number of weeks, so Arlene does not have to hobble out on crutches.
Yeah i knew someone had to be hurt cause they didnt have entrances. Poor sweet lady.
And even with her broken ankle she had the class and grace to stand in honour of the Japanese Senator.
What a beauty. And an animal lover. A portrait of perfection.
DORIS IS OLD ENOUGH TO BE MY MOTHER BUT I STILL LOVE HER JUST THE SAME CLASSY LADY !!!!!
Cool! I *love* Doris Day. 😘💖
Doris Day had such a beautiful smile.
Doris Day is Beautiful :)
Love you Doris. Never will forget you. RIP love.
Two screams from Dorothy. :) 6:30 and 24:07
Shidzue Kato was 60 when this WML came out (born 1897). She would go on to live to 104. (2001)
Wow!
I've been watching a lot of these what's My line videos for a good while now. They had a couple of 2-3 days after Doris Day's death this video shows up.
Such a beautiful lady inside and out.
21:41 Arlene: "Who said this wasn't useful?" 😂😂😂 Hilarious!
Doris day was one sweet and deliscous babe!
She was on the show in June 1954: it was her first tv appearance and she used the same voice...

More Ernie, not less. He was a breath of fresh air, a balance against the droll snobbery that usually occurs( save Arlene Francis)
God bless Doris Day.
What a beautiful woman Doris Day was.
Wow. Squirt, i havent heard that word used in that context in AGES.

I thought I couldn't love Dorothy more but then 3 to 1 lover 🧡
It's what did her in, unfortunately, and not conspiracy theories.
That squeal! 😍
She was on the show more than once!
Love Doris Day
"Who said this wasn't useful?" :D
Doris Day celebrated her 97th birthday, April 2019.
And passed only one month later, on May 13 of 2019. She had contracted pneumonia. Yikes...
Loved Doris Day movies. RIP
My mother's birthday, 3 yrs before I was born. Didn't expect Ernie to be the first guest lol. He's a card lol.
I wasn't born yet in 1957, but those coke machines were still around when I was a kid.
They did not romanize her name on-screen, unfortunately: the Japanese Senator's name was commonly rendered as Shidzue Kato. She lived to be 104!
I was 4 years old when this aired, and now I'm 70 years old watching it, back then all we had was a radio.
I'm sure it was a better time

Mrs Kato, it’s good that you weren’t on the December 7th episode. I love her “dress”.
Her “dress” is called a “kimono” and is the traditional national female costume in Japan.
Mr. Kovacs is only 37 years old in this clip, but looks closer to 50. Naturally some of that has to do with the greased-back hairstyle, but no doubt due to his smoking and heavy drinking. Sad that so many brilliant comedians (and actors, actresses) can be so tortured...

But in her defense now a days who isn't

Great actress
Trouble is Doris also uses that squeak for comedic effect in her films. I would've got her straight away.
