I believe that Buddy Hackett introduced Bob Newhart to his wife Ginny

[@scottburton9701]

Great episode-Bob Newhart was priceless!

[@davidcouch6514]

His telephone routine was cleverly worked into the script of “Hell is for Heroes”

[@jnadle1]

Dennis James for Kellogg's? Didn't know he did plugs for that. But he did all right with the nighttime Price is Right.

I like when Buddy is on the show...

[@olddisneylandtickets]

26:20 indeed....

[@presto709]

The host gave it away by saying they were playing a little trick on the panel.

[@scotnick59]

Buddy appeared a Heath Barkley's wannabe Daddy on BIG VALLEY. Ward Bond would have been FAR more believable.

[@davidcouch6514]

And he played the father from hell in The Rifleman.

I like Buddy Hacket, but I feel he does the flow of this show a disservice by too often playing around for a laugh instead of getting to the point with a serious question.

@@h.l.b.6122 I understand your point, and I would probably feel the same way if the show was lacking in entertainment value without the "comedy relief." But the show's appeal was the game itself, which combined an element of humor with likable panelists, a simple but interesting premise, and a great chemistry between all involved. I just find the excessive attempts at comedy to be out of place and detrimental to the flow of the game. Humor was definitely an important part of what made WML so appealing... Steve Allen was a particular favorite of mine. And, of course, the friendly jibes back and forth between Bennett Cerf and John Daly. Those elements were sprinkled into the mix, adding charm to an already-successful product. But this show wasn't a situation comedy and too much of a good thing (aka Buddy Hackett) compromises the flow of the game for the sake of a laugh. Just my opinion.

You haven't seen when Victor or Groucho were on the show have you?
