Thanks a million times for posting this ! I love WML, even more when Tony Randall is on the panel, and it's not so common to find the complete episode,with the good-byes and so on :) Marlo was really a cute panelist but I found Jessel's ways with her a bit creepy... Arlene and Tony are their own marvelous selfs, I loved it when Tony made fun of Know-it-all Bennet... And John Daly: what an host ! He always seems anxious to make everyone around feel comfortable.
She's been a crush of mine since That Girl came on. But I think everybody knew who George Jessel as soon as he opened his mouth but they set it up so Marlo could guess him as a close family friend.
Marlo was adorable. I am so glad Tony found Bennet's answer/question/guess to be ridiculous because very often, he's way off base. I was noticing how broad Arlene looked and attributed to the way her sleeves hung but then I noticed she wasn't wearing her signature necklace. I think this is the first time I've noticed it gone. Now I'm wondering if that's why she looked larger than usual. Thanks for these shows. I really really love them.
This episode is from April 1965. this is a year and a half before the Marlo Thomas sitcom "That girl" premiered on ABC. Marlo substitutes for Dorothy who was recovering from problems caused by her breaking her shoulder in a fall.
WML moved to the Ed Sullivan Theater at the beginning of the 1965-66 season. CBS went to full color that season and that was CBS' only color studio in New York (other than the news studio). Since both the Sullivan show and WML were broadcast live (most of the time), the stage hands had only around a hour to strike the Sullivan sets and put up the WML set. Of course, today that studio is where Late Show with David Letterman is taped.
I think I know what you're saying however, I've only watched this show via TH-cam so the format should've been the same. I think subconsciously the lack of necklace gave me no focal center for the first time in years. Another words, I've always zoomed in on the middle of her (admiring her heart-necklace) and now with it gone, my mind scanned around instead. Hey, my armchair psychological logic ---or lack thereof, is working just fine for me (smile)
Jessel sounds like Danny Thomas to a startling degree, which accounts for that look on Marlo's face after her first question. Jessel is not really disguising that voice of his much.
I was shocked at how quiet the audience remained when he spoke of his USO tour service to the troops to help boost their morale. Today, he would have been given a standing ovation!
That is so very very sad, they were not given credit for entertaining the troops during an unpopular war. I, for one, will have respect and love for those entertainers always!
@@JDAbelRN Yes, troops in an unpopular war would deserve entertainment. Unfortunately Viet Nam wasn’t just unpopular. It was illegal and was fought with methods which were crimes against humanity (Napalm, Agent Orange, Mai Lai, more bombs than WWII)
Is this the same guy from England that the BBC recently refused to air a documentary about this guy, and woman have been accusing him of assaulting them when they were kids on his show?
What's happened to the advert on the front of the panel - I literally mean the panel that hides the panellists' legs? In the past episodes we had Stopette or was it Stoppette the deodorant spray that went Poof! We had Remington Rand shavers, citrus juice, milk, a cigarette whose name I've forgotten and Kelloggs of Battle Creek but in this episode there's just a panel with a pattern of lines. I miss the goofy advertising which by modern standards was quite funny and clunky.
Gil Fates in his book on WML wrote that when Jessel appeared as a mystery guest on syndicated WML (on air during the Vietnam War period) that he somehow launched into a long impassioned defense of the virtues of the Vietnam War. Emphasis on long.
It's just incorrect; there's no such thing as "another words." And "in other words" is not a cliché (look that up; sounds like you misunderstand that too), it's a phrase that conveys the idea of an alternative. "Another words" is just stupid, and makes you look ignorant. That's all I'm saying.
My God, did I have a crush on Marlo Thomas back in the day. Never missed an episode of That Girl.

I absolutely loved Marlo Thomas

The younger John Daly is a ringer for Michael Landon, at a younger age.
A very attractive young man, wonder what came of him?
I thought so too.
Georgie Jessel came to our army base at Christmas time in 1967 , unfortunately I was on TDY and missed one heck of a show ! 😔
George Jessel was born on April 3, 1898 and died May 24, 1981.
This episode is from April 1965 -- a year and a half before WML: went color in autumn 1966.
Marlo Thomas looked more like the clueless Ann Marie who she played on "That Girl" than the intelligent lady we know her to be.

I think this was probably when she had the extra diamond put in it

George Jessel was a good friend of Danny Thomas. He probably knew Marlo since she the time she was born.

"What's My Line?" was produced in CBS Studio 52 (now Studio 54). I saw a play in this theater in 2009.
Jessel obviously is among those celebrities who wanted the panel to identify them.
Absolutely correct. It is 4-18-1965

It's IN OTHER WORDS. sheesh..

I was never a fan of Tony Randall offstage. He seemed very crass and devoid of manners sometimes.

I'm fairly certain his contemporaries held similar sentiments, especially after reading things Burns has written... lol
The standard ratio image has been reformatted to widescreen ratio.
His name was Jessel. With a J!

The whole gang sounded drunk that night!!
Marlo was as hot as usual that night.

Nope. Not ALL color til probly '69 or later. WML was in color for its last year or so, but the color shows were only saved in b/w.
Its a little awkward that john and bennet would have a clown as a guest and yet still refer to it in a pejoratively comical manner
real ny'ers don't "envy" s.f.
"Small hands!"
14:29 reminds me of a meme
Nope. My fault. Wrong guy.
Still black & white in 1966? I thought American TV had completely gone over to color by this point!
This is a kinescope, shot on film off a B&W monitor.
Phil Donahue married Marlo Thomas.
David Stratham: Really?!?! Phone that scoop into the New York Times fast!!
In other words, dumb. lol
Also, he was always broke and begged his friends for money constantly.
Tony Randall acts like jerk on this show .
It's just incorrect; there's no such thing as "another words." And "in other words" is not a cliché (look that up; sounds like you misunderstand that too), it's a phrase that conveys the idea of an alternative. "Another words" is just stupid, and makes you look ignorant. That's all I'm saying.
Thanks for that grammatical and syntax correction. I always said "another words" and see the substantial error!
