So here’s what I admire about the people on this show. It appears that JCD and Dorothy planned the opening joke about “John Weekly” and it fell flat. He deftly and artfully took ownership of the whole thing. Such class.
I think the reason it fell flat is because Dorothy comes across as a bit too serious, compared to the mischievous punster Bennett and/or the playfully witty Arlene. The audience just wasn't primed for Dorothy to crack jokes, and so it probably caught them off guard.
@@deejay8403 I'm only going by hearsay from comments on a previous show. Dorothy wrote about someone and John at an event John attended in her column. John felt they were family and members of the show would be off limits to her column, but she responded she's a reporter first.
Eunice Gayson is best-known for her role as Sylvia Trench in the first two official James Bond films. Not to mention, this is her real voice. In both James Bond films she was in (Dr. No and From Russia with Love), another actress dubbed her voice.
The contestant-picking staff seems to have a thing for international police chiefs and superintendents. Within the last year or two of episodes, they've had police administrator challengers from Italy, Ireland, and now Korea.
in new york you would have lots of international travel going on with conventions. business deals of all kinds madison square gardens sports figures of all kinds etc..
I'm blessed to have many Korean friends. I wish I could know how Mr Chan Woo Nam achieved such an impressive mastery of the English language. I think he must have started as a youngster. I love his expressive good humored respondence to questions. Mr Nam was one of the few non-celebrities who I've noticed turn to the camera before exiting, and he gave a farewell wave.
I still have a crush on Eunice Gayson! In her stilletto heals and nothing on but a man-shirt putting in Bond's room (and of course the picnic). She was an absolute doll.
I’m not sure but I think it was still one country at that time! There was a “line” not to be crossed (watch Mash!) by Mi,itself during f the Korean War.
The charm of this show is the class and grace displayed by everyone involved. Without that they might as well be playing Match Game or Press Your Luck. That said, I'm not sure who you think they'd find to fill these roles these days.
Charlie Callas did a very amusing impersonation of George Jessel in the "The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast"- of Don Rickles. th-cam.com/video/RAieZ2M2Dwc/w-d-xo.html
I never understood George Jessel. What was he? What's his talent? Why was he famous (other than turning down the lead of The Jazz Singer - thankfully - which he played on Broadway? I don't like him or dislike him; I don't know what to think when I see him. Speaking at dinners and lunches? Really?
I've often had the same question about Joey Bishop. He was known as a comedian, but I've seen him in a number of different settings (Joey Bishop Show, Tonight Show, Match Game, etc.), and I never found him to be even slightly funny. No offense intended; I'm just genuinely perplexed.
At least his second time on the show and Mr. Jessel w still doesn't get the point of "Mystery Guest," i.e., speak as little as possible and disguise your voice if feasible.
Mr Nam used Chinese characters for his full name: not done anymore in Korea. So I first thought he was Chinese. Also Korea is not a federation.... so federal government should have been a no. Central government a yes. But I guess a yes was fair.
Larry Teren -- Yeah, I, too was very annoyed by Eunice Gayson and her over-the-top meandering without getting to the point, which would have been to put a question in hopes of getting an answer. Suddenly, I found myself a huge fan of Dorothy Kilgallen and not annoyed by Dorothy's questions in the least, which I couldn't have imagined would ever be the case. (I tolerate Miss Kilgallen well enough given that I find her to be annoying a lot of the time, but compared to Eunice Gayson, Dorothy K. is wonderful.)

I just know my dear late mom was in the hospital watching this. I was born the very day before.
Nyvoice: I may be wrong but I don’t think they had televisions in rooms at the hospital back then. They were still not in every home at that time
So refreshing to see such a wonderful show.
I think its cute that whenever Arlene wasnt there Bennett says goodnight to her.
Happy Birthday, Eunice Gayson (born 3/17/1928).
The Asian languages are an art form, I can write a few words in Japanese, also have some prayers done by a Japanese friend- they are lovely.
it was kind of rude for the audience to laugh at them.
Interesting that they introduced the panel in reverse order in this episode. Wonder why they decided to mix it up?
Several hundred episodes needed a change
I wondered that myself
It was done so you would talk about it 55 years later.

I'd like to think it meant John and Dorothy got over their spat to be friends again or at least be friendly to each other.
I think the reason it fell flat is because Dorothy comes across as a bit too serious, compared to the mischievous punster Bennett and/or the playfully witty Arlene. The audience just wasn't primed for Dorothy to crack jokes, and so it probably caught them off guard.
@@geraldkatz7986 Why were Miss Dorothy and John feuding?

She was the first person to ask James Bond what his name was. To which he replied....th-cam.com/video/9f_LyhxNWTk/w-d-xo.html
Miss Gayson is absolutely beautiful in the casino scene.
In 2 years, Eunice Gayson would be in the Bond film; Dr. No.
13:18 "Don't tell me you're a member of the faculty there?" Geez, Bennett.
wow they introduced the panel in reverse
I liked Eunice Gayson. I liked that Korean guy too
Bennett: "Don't tell me you're not a nurse, school teacher, or secretary?!?"
Some of the words used in questioning and how they are articulated give me the asmr tingles.
The contestant-picking staff seems to have a thing for international police chiefs and superintendents. Within the last year or two of episodes, they've had police administrator challengers from Italy, Ireland, and now Korea.
probably because it is harder to guess international police because their positions, titles, and responsibilities are different than ours.
3 in 2 years doesn't seem like very many...?
Also bullfighters !!!

Love love love Mr Andrews
Very handsome man, wonderful actor.
I still have a crush on Eunice Gayson! In her stilletto heals and nothing on but a man-shirt putting in Bond's room (and of course the picnic). She was an absolute doll.
The utterly delightful Eunice Gayson may be the first panel member to match moderator John Daly in verbosity!
She was so beautiful and lucky to be a two movie Bond girl
She seems what the English call dotty.
"Finch trial" (at 1:57): presumably this one. www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G2-3498200213.html
Thanks - I wanted to look into that. That's the seediest story I've ever read.
Scandalous story! Thanks for posting.
Interesting that this show, from the height of the cold war, repeatedly referred to the country as "Korea" , not "South Korea"
I’m not sure but I think it was still one country at that time! There was a “line” not to be crossed (watch Mash!) by Mi,itself during f the Korean War.
I wish they would do an updated version of this show today but make them dress up
Why not a completely updated version and not require dressing up?
The charm of this show is the class and grace displayed by everyone involved. Without that they might as well be playing Match Game or Press Your Luck. That said, I'm not sure who you think they'd find to fill these roles these days.
When class was truly a class.
I'm inclined to think Eunice was just nervous but goodness, her questions....
Not the best game player. I hope she doesn't come back.
Dorothy misspoke, this is not the first time she's introduced John Daly
Whatever comedy thing John had in mind, didn't work.
When was another time? I've seen every episode
@@kristabrewer9363 you missed one.

Why don't you do some research about him.
When I looked him up It said, singer, songwriter, musician, producer, movie making American. Also comedian too.
I've often had the same question about Joey Bishop. He was known as a comedian, but I've seen him in a number of different settings (Joey Bishop Show, Tonight Show, Match Game, etc.), and I never found him to be even slightly funny. No offense intended; I'm just genuinely perplexed.
I used to like him until I found out what he did to Shirley Temple
GeorgeJessel never appealed to me, even as a young child! He just came across as a know-it-all grumpy person!!!
It's nice to have a star on the panel, but some of them don't know what questions to ask.
Wasn’t this before Korea split in 2?
No
At least his second time on the show and Mr. Jessel w still doesn't get the point of "Mystery Guest," i.e., speak as little as possible and disguise your voice if feasible.
Mr Nam used Chinese characters for his full name: not done anymore in Korea. So I first thought he was Chinese. Also Korea is not a federation.... so federal government should have been a no. Central government a yes. But I guess a yes was fair.
January 10, 1960.
mkl62 Yes-- it says so in the video title.
What the hell was Dorothy wearing?
A dress.
Jessel did a terrible job of disguising his voice!
I find miss Gayson annoying
Gayson is annoying
sorry, but i found the british panelist's voice annoying, showboating to keep herself on camera more than the others. verbosity is being kind.
Larry Teren -- Yeah, I, too was very annoyed by Eunice Gayson and her over-the-top meandering without getting to the point, which would have been to put a question in hopes of getting an answer. Suddenly, I found myself a huge fan of Dorothy Kilgallen and not annoyed by Dorothy's questions in the least, which I couldn't have imagined would ever be the case. (I tolerate Miss Kilgallen well enough given that I find her to be annoying a lot of the time, but compared to Eunice Gayson, Dorothy K. is wonderful.)
Larry Teren I actually think she's rather endearing.
People accuse Dorothy of doing that. This was next level showboating. I never want to see her again.
Jessel never got over the huge success Al Jolson had in THE JAZZ SINGER .... a role he had turned down.
