Elsa was the best designer of all time IMO, love her so much
Yeah but coco was more popular after ww2 and her fashion is simple and timeless. I mean u can still wear some of her dresses
@@subliminalcity6892 But Schiaparelli was more inventive with more than just the signature Chanel suit.
@@subliminalcity6892 Yes, what you say is true, however I prefer Schiaparelli as a designer. BTW I really like your name. Cheers.
Elsa Schiaparelli (1890-1973) was an Italian fashion designer. Along with Coco Chanel, her greatest rival, she is regarded as one of the most prominent figures in fashion between the two World Wars. Starting with knitwear, Schiaparelli's designs were heavily influenced by Surrealists like her collaborators Salvador Dalí and Jean Cocteau. Her clients included the heiress Daisy Fellowes and actress Mae West. Schiaparelli did not adapt to the changes in fashion following World War II and her couture house closed in 1954. Here granddaughters were 70s model and actress Marisa Berenson and photographer Berry Berenson (who was married at one point to Anthony Perkins and was killed in the 9-11 attacks in New York City.).
She reminds me of Lady gaga
She is famous for introducing in early 1950's hot pink as a fashion
color. It is popular now too.
@@janetmarletto6667 Yes, it was “Shocking Pink”.
Marisa was in that great great movie Cabaret-Natalie. Very beautiful and stylish. Haven't seen her in another movie or on tv. Cabaret, what a movie. Have watched many times. Lifts my spirit every time. Glad the director/producer stayed away from politics somewhat and did not feel it necessary to go overboard in condemnation of the Nazis. Liza was perfection. She never topped that performance.
@@jerrylee8261 Beautiful Marisa also starred opposite Ryan O'Neal in the classic Revolutionary War epic Barry Lyndon.
I love watching this programme. I am intrigued partly by the jobs that are no longer existent in America or at all.
Sometimes ;)
I think most of them are gone or incorporated with other jobs.
I am amazed at the formalness and diction (except for guest comedians on the panel) and it's a good show for realizing how far women have come and how sexist society was in my early life (all that surprise at some professions held by women ("lady' doctors and coalminers, for example) and how wolfish men were. Some men are still wolfish, but not so verbally an obviously. I don't miss the catcalls, etc., not that I'd get any now days, being 70 years old. I watched with parents in late 50's and early 60's.
Mistletoe round - BEST EVER, thanks to Mr Block!
Worth watching again!
I forgot how stunningly good looking Fay Emerson was . . . . wow !
I enjoyed watching Faye Emerson but I realized right away that I missed Dorothy Kilgallen, and I'm not sure why. But I always do when she's missing. John Daly is so classy in a good way.
Faye Emerson asked relevant and intelligent questions.
***** I see. She had lots of experience of other TV Game Shows. That explains her ability to question the contestants.
She's also a very attractive and elegant lady.
Dorothy and Faye were the second highest paid panelist at $600 a show. The highest paid? Arlene at $1000 a show.
@@richardfoster9846 what would that be converted to the current era, or is that the conversion for today?
With the help of Mr.Block.
This show marks the beginning of the tradition that the male panelists always wore bow ties (except for the "mourning" shows following Fred Allen's and Dorothy Kilgallen's deaths). Prior to this episode, male panelists wore either bow ties or straight ties -- all wore bow ties on 8/31/52 but that was a coincidence since in the next 2 shows, Bennett and/or John wore straight ties. The week following this show, guest panelist Abe Burrows wore a straight tie, but from this point John, Bennett and Hal always wore bow ties.
In the few shows surviving from October-December 1950 and 1951, the men were in tuxedos and of course wore bow ties. Bennett's oral history mentions that he and John quickly figured out that they could get away with dark suits and dress ties, but he doesn't mention the light suits and long ties of this era (early part of 1952). As with many such adjustments, the pendulum swung a little too far in the direction of informality before finding the happy medium that came to be standard from here on.
Notice Daly sorta emphasized 'standard' of Eastern Standard Time for the start time of the following week's show. Daylight time (at least in New York City) in 1952 was April 27 - September 28, so the time change to standard time began the Sunday of the following week's show.
Apparently after WW2, states and localities could decide to use, or not use, daylight time; federal law in 1966 standardized, in general (meaning, there were some exceptions), the use of daylight time in the US.
I wasn't familiar with who Faye Emerson was until I looked her up on Wikipedia, but she played the game quite well.
I think that the mistletoe lady, Patricia Murphy has an adorable smile, what a cutie! Hal Block really cracks me up, he's such a masher, at this point the others on the panel and John are relentless with their comments about him.
Second game. Hal Block I suspect had a gambit that he used in two sets of questioning due to the way Daly answered questions in Block's first set of questions
At 20:30 Faye fairly wrings her hands in excitement. And then forgets for a moment to unmask. A very engaged panelist!
I loved her personality 😄😍
She was so excited when she got the last line correct. It was adorable. She seemed nervous this show and last. So, I'm sure that correct answer helped her confidence.
Dorothy Kilgallen always looked at their hands because she could tell a lot about a persons line of work by doing that.
Miss Jane Schmahl (Teaches for Expectant Fathers" salaried; from Chicago, IL) was the contestant previewed at the end of this episode.
Ms. Emerson is lovely.
Haha Hal Block carrying mistletoe all the time. Funny but a plausible theory :-)
Mistletoe..tools of the trade.
Miss Emerson is a truly beautiful lady
I really would love to see Miss Murphy's GREEN dress in color!
Faith Adams -- I wish all these shows were in color. The dresses and jewels the women wore had to be beautiful.
My, my...Arlene is particularly ravishing tonight!
Are you blind or something? She's just like on other episodes & ravishing? LMAO
@@abhinavs5213 YES, I am blind. I'm going to report you to the council of wokeness for me unnecessarily mean. You are a bad boy.
Arlene does look very beautiful in this episode. She is of course beautiful always but especially in this one.
I’m with Joe on this one.
"Just call me EYE-lene!" 1:25
Hal Block asks pertinent questions. He was good tonight.
I'm proud of being a sibiling of her!😄
The reaction of Faye Emerson when she discovered a MAN was a women's hairdresser. I guess it was highly unusual in 1952. I also noticed how Bennett and Arlene sat there, very prim and proper, not daring to crack a smile, as Hal Block was guessing in the mistletoe round. What a couple of serious prudes!
I REPLAYED THE MISTLETOE SEGMENT, AND IT STILL STRUCK ME AS IT DID BEFORE VERY FUNNY.
You’re getting closer, Truman.
Wikipedia--
Faye Emerson was married to auto-dealer William Crawford (1938-1942). Emerson was married to writer and son of FDR, Elliott Roosevelt (1944-1950). By 1947, Emerson's marriage to Roosevelt had begun to disintegrate. In late 1948, after having made her Broadway debut in The Play's the Thing,[14] Emerson attempted suicide on Christmas Day 1948 by slitting her wrists, and was hospitalized.[15] In January 1950, she obtained a divorce from Roosevelt in Cuernavaca, Mexico.[16][17] Emerson was married to Skitch Henderson (1950-1957). In 1963, Emerson made her final television appearance and formally retired from show business.
In one of the few existing kinescopes of WML in 1950, Elsa S designed a dress given to Gloria Swanson after her appearance. There is not enough recorded evidence to know if the female mystery guests of that period got a dress as part of their compensation. Recently a Schiaparelli advertisement came to the surface in the WML Facebook community that had a WML tie-in.

I really like Hal Block... pity there aren't more of his episodes😊
At 4:43, Arlene asked the first contestant whether his food product comes in "tins". I thought that was exclusively a British usage. Americans say "cans" today. Maybe "tins" was in use in the U.S. in 1952, but I don't remember hearing it, and I was alive in the 1950's.
I remember my grandparents used the word tins or tin cans. They were all born just after 1900, in the southern US (TN, TX, LA, and GA).
The cans used to be made of tin. I don't know when it switched, maybe WW II, but it could have been a habit to use the word "tins"
Elsa Luisa Maria Schiaparelli was born at the Palazzo Corsini, Rome.[6] Her mother, Maria-Luisa, was a Neapolitan aristocrat.[7] Her father, Celestino Schiaparelli, was an accomplished scholar with multiple areas of interest. His studies focused on the Islamic world and the era of the Middle Ages and he was, in addition, an authority on Sanskrit and a curator of medieval manuscripts. He also served as Dean of the University of Rome, where Schiaparelli would herself later go on to study philosophy.[8][9][6] His brother, astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli, had discovered the so-called canali, or Martian canals, and the young Schiaparelli often studied the heavens with her uncle.[6][8] A cousin of the brothers, Ernesto Schiaparelli, was a noted Egyptologist who discovered the tomb of Nefertari and was Director of the Museo Egizio in Turin.[10]
In all fairness to Schiaparelli, the Italian word "canali" means "channels", not "canals." But many people thought that canals had been discovered on Mars, and therefore, that intelligent life must exist there. When in the 1960's, spacecraft began to photograph Mars from close-up, it became clear that there are no canals or channels, but that they are an optical illusion.
Game 4 is Franklin Lasky; self-employed; from Amsterdam, NY.
I had a male ladies hairdresser. He did a terrific job. All the ladies came to his shop.
I love how genuinely happy the panel is whe they guess the correct occupation 😊
This is my first time seeing John tug his ear for Hal to chill out....00:14:45
Oh, hey, Miss Murphy (who uses her maiden name about half the time in newspapers, but is married to a gent named Frank) is the partner of the Rosen who appeared on Dec. 2, 1956's show. It really does seem as if Miss Murphy started the business, in 1951. The way the first newspaper article put it, her kids were mostly out of the house, and she becomes a jerk with too much free time on her hands. (Miss Murphy's actual word was 'crabby'.) So, therefore, mistletoe, or anyway, a job that consumes her ability to organize and arrange contacts and be a whirlwind of efficiency. She died in 1979 in San Diego. Wish I knew why San Diego.
In one of my favorite British comedies, the 1938 version of "Pygmalion," Elsa S designed the gowns worn by Wendy Hiller, who portrayed "Eliza Doolittle." Unlike "My Fair Lady" 1964, Hiller was just the right age for the role. That "Pygmalion" took place c 1937, so Elsa's gowns were contemporary.
I adore Wendy Hiller and consider her Oscar-wining performance in "Separate Tables" one of the greatest of all time. Although Miss Hiller was 26 when she filmed "Pygmalion", she didn't look any younger than Audrey Hepburn's 34-year-old Eliza Doolittle.
@@SandViolet I think she looked younger than 34
I loved the white number when she dropped in for tea
Schiaparelli could be a character in Titanic!
Elsa S. Was the TITANIC. (Hang on ... to yo ‘ door...yo’ slip -slidin away...)
"Anyone who'd put it in a finger bowl would be a real dope."
What happend @ 22:11? Someone (in the audience?) says something, There's a laughter and John makes a discret signal to the panel to continue, Very odd.
Johan Bengtsson
I can't make out the words and am also not sure whether the shout comes from the audience or from backstage. I'm also wondering what was going on off-camera while Patricia Murphy was signing in that caused the audience to laugh so long and hard (beginning around 8:32 and building all the way to 8:42). There was certainly nothing humorous about her signature or the way she signed that I could see.)
SaveThe TPC It was probably Hal Block who made some gestures of delight when she entered.
Johan Bengtsson
I was thinking it might have something to do with Hal too, but I wonder what exactly. I guess we'll never know....
Shushing
I've mentioned before how different we see age in people now compared to the 50's. The first contestant looked like he could have been anywhere from 16 to 35.
That's my dad! He was 27 at the time. Won 80-some dollars and went to Robert Hall - bought an overcoat!
@@planet5259 awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!
What
It's curious that Hal Block got screams of laughter from the studio audience but later got fired for being too crude. Certainly John Daly and the panel members cut short his clowning when he goes too far. This suggests to me a difference in social class between the studio audience (who maybe got in for free) and the viewing audience (who had to buy a television). I don't know what a TV cost in 1952, but I'm guessing it was a lot of money. Could it be that this was aimed at a middle-class TV audience but played in front of an audience from a less affluent, more blue-collar part of society? John Daly's language is very erudite but Hal Block's fake eye-patch is plain goofy, but they're on the same show. As I say, curious!
According to the Oral History with Bennet Cerf the show was seen as classy family entertainment that drew a considerable audience of church people. I guess it's unlikely that the studio audience would have the same specific make up. The studio audience is also probably mostly made up of New Yorkers i.e. big city people which to me would suggest people that would tolerate a cruder sensibility.
Network people very rarely know what the people actually want. The Hellmouth from Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the only good network note I can think of
Elsa Schiaparelli was a designer, and well known in the world of Haute Couture, but to me it seemed like her outfit this evening did *not* do the business any good. Sorry, I just had to let it out.
SuperWinterborn Thank heaven a woman said it! I would never have dared! :-) Amen and amen!
dizzyology Thank heaven someone at last responded to my comment on this! I was afraid I was the only one who dared question the taste of this famous designer. ;)
SuperWinterborn Well, I thought it was a rather ugly dress, but as a male, I've learned to hold my tongue about such matters! (Idiom: "Hold one's tongue" = keep the mouth shut, say nothing.) :-)
dizzyology Oh, there's a lot of male viewers commenting the ladies dresses around here! This one was absolutely the worst I've seen on this show, though. ;) (The meaning of the idiom spoke for itself(!) ;)
have you ever noticed that hairdressers always have the worst hairdos!!!
Special Guest looks like a female impersonator. Bennett guessed correctly without any apparent lead-up clues. Suspicious.
Nope Italian fashion designer
I didn't know the MG. Thought it was someone in drag.
"Suspicious"? There's a conspiracy under every rock. What was left except fashion? It had already been established that she wasn't in entertainment, sports, politics, science, medicine, nor a writer or painter. Meanwhile it had been established that she was European.
6:08 car honking!
I heard a police siren in one episode.
Police, ambulance and fire engine sirens could be heard from time to time in some New York City TV studios. On "The Dick Cavett Show" (1968-74) that used to be on ABC opposite "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson, sirens were heard all the time during the program. New York City has to be the noisiest city I've ever visited -- in my hotel, you'd hear car horns honking all the time, until midnight or so Sunday through Thursday, and two or three hours beyond that on Friday and Saturday nights. And if the car horns were honking, you'd hear sirens off and on the whole time when emergency vehicles wanted to get through. I've stayed in many cities and never experienced anything like that. Someone told me that fancier apartments, co-ops and condos in NYC all have dual-pane windows to reduce the noise level, and, of course, air conditioning during hot weather so that sound-resistant windows can stay shut. I'm surprised sirens and car honking weren't heard more often on WML -- it makes me think that the studio had fairly good soundproofing measures, but, from time to time, someone opened a sound-insulated door to the outside at the wrong moment.
Even then, Manhattan was the city that never sleeps. (There's a reason they call the other boroughs bedroom communities.)
Ear tug at 14:45!!
I like the hairdresser that looked like a nose-tackle.
H. Block was on his game tonight, I think, huh?
+Joe Postove yes, very
He was the best tonight
It is so obvious that Hal Block wasn't liked when you see John's subtle way of ignoring some of his comments and jokes.
Yeah but they had to have known how crude Hal Block was before they hired him.
CC-Tron
I suppose it was a bit of an experiment. The show was new, so was the medium of television itself. Many things were tried out, some worked, some didn't. We may perceive him as embarrassing and sexist buffoon, but we have to keep in mind quite a few some people appreciated the crude and risqué style of humour that Hal Block represented. As the show developed, he turned out to be completely unsuitable. He didn't fit it to the format and had to go.
I wouldn't call him one of my top favorite panelists.. but he could be hilarious at times!
He certainly made me laugh in that mistletoe segment! :D
Hal Block had a BIG Heart. Enough said.
Bennett says anything for a quaff? Well, if anyone here knew what that meant please make yourself known. You should be watching What My Wine> I had to look it up "Quaffing is defined as “to overindulge in drink”; recorded since the 1570s, it is perhaps derived from Low German “quassen”, based on a misreading of the long s (ſ) as f."
"Quaff" doesn't necessarily mean that alcohol is involved. Recall Snoopy in PEANUTS going on those yearly visits to Bill Mauldin's to quaff root beer. In that case, I think that Schulz was simply using the word as a substitute for "drink."
I'm surprised Bennett didn't repeat "Anything for a *Coiffe*" after the last contestant! ( :D)
Chris Barat Thinking about it, I have heard the word before, but it is mostly associated with alcohol.
It's not a word I've used too often, but you do hear it from time-to-time. It's a little old-fashioned, I think. Makes me think of brandy. Probably more common here in the UK.
Quaff was used, at one time at least, to mean the rapid drinking of any beverage. My grandfather used to quaff soft drinks by emptying a bottle without taking a breath.
Was there ever any explanation, either on the show on in the press departure? He's coming to the end of his run in early 1953.
been a long time for the question. It is incomplete. Do you mean Hal's departure? If so often discussed in the comments section of the episodes he is in.
As I'm watching this I notice that about 14:44 John looks uncomfortable and tugs his ear. Curious since that was supposed to be signal for the panelists to move on from risqué questions. Just thought I'd throw that out there. What do you all think?
Did it again at about 15:25 or so. Hmm, I thinks it's because he's a little uncomfortable. Then again, maybe not.
Maybe he's secretly saying hello to his grandmother. No, wait -- it was Carol Burnett who tugged on her earlobe to do that.
This aired 4 days after my birth.
Abby White. we got over it. !!!
We were born the same day.
Although she looks lovely this evening, Arlene certainly did mature wonderfully well. Block really didn't belong in this show. I think he was fired quite early on because of his lewd and discourteous behavior. As always, thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to see these TV gems.
Crude, uncultured, not a gentleman, he reminds me of a perpetual drunk, loud, etc.
Campy. Elsa - genus. Thx.
Hal would hit on anyone. Gee willikers!
LoL
This is my first time watching the show, and I don't LIKE him!! Heaven forbid, he act like a gentleman
He is rather annoying most of the time, but his questions for the mistletoe lady were pretty hilarious!
Sad man
I LIKE MS EMERSON . . . MMMMM . . .
"Constant use" of mistletoe might give you fish lips* like a certain ex-president (*he often purses his lips like he's a fish or kissing)
just now I realize that I have never seen an obese person in the show so far- and I have seen quite a lot of episodes already. Isn't it astonishing and also a pity how much that has chanced in only a few decades?
What kind of shape are you in?
+Dave Mattia
Pretty good. And you?
I think the opposite is true. I've heard people nowadays say that Marilyn Monroe was "fat" and wouldn't be a movie star today for that reason. We are in the age of anorexia, it seems.
If you're watching the extant episodes in order from 1950, onward, you haven't seen all that many of them very few of the episodes from 1950 through mid-1952 have survived. Trust me -- there were plenty of obese contestants through the years and what shocks me is how the panel freely engaged in making jokes about their obesity. Apparently, fat people were fair game and poking fun at them was done with impunity back then.
+ToddSF 94109
I have seen most of all episodes here. Also I was talking about obesity acc. to the medical definition, not beauty standards.
So, how many famous cosmetic chemists have there been?
I think it was overly optimistic simply to identify Dr. Montenier as one.
Stein.....steiner.....why not?
Didn't know the italian Schiaparelli was famous even overseas!
I think Schiaparelli was ill-advised to appear on television (or even in public) with bare shoulders.
Agreed. That didn't look quite right. She looked naked. I know they often wear strapless gowns but given the seat etc., I do agree she'd have done better with straps and a higher gown.
R wearing that hat or that necklace. She indeed needed at least a higher seat so that she did not appear naked! One unusual “look”.
I just realized Hal reminds me of Rodney Dangerfield.
Correction: how much that has changed...
Celisar1 If you hover the mouse above your own comment to the right, there appears an arrow Click on it, and you can then edit your comment ;)
+SuperWinterborn
Saw your helpful comment right now, thanks :)
Oh...why have a mistletoe saleslady on in September? And what about Block?
Joe Postove
Actually, I think this was a stroke of genius on the producers' part. Whenever they have someone selling mistletoe around Christmastime, pumpkins at Halloween, etc., the panel is always ready for it and tends to guess the line quickly. The timing of this contestant's line threw them delightfully off the track!
SaveThe TPC You're right of course. But it is so like them to have Miss America on the very week she either wins or ends her run. I was surprised by it. But then, I think the history of the show is them having, for example, "Easter Bunny" makers on around Passover time (did they ever have a matzo salesman on)?
Joe Postove SaveThe TPC Of course TPC was right on this, and regarding "The Easter Bunny" they had some represents here too, if my memory doesn't fail me. But when it comes to your last comment about the Passover, I think I have some answers that won't fit into Gary's policy about religion and politics on this page/channel, Pal Joe! ;)
SuperWinterborn No, probably not. :(
What years did Bennett have a column? I remember "This Week" as a Sunday supplement, but not his commentary.
Joe Postove Bennett had a column in the early 60's, called "Try and Stop Me" (yes, it was "and", not "to" ;). These columns was later published in a book, with the same title. I don't know the name of the company which published it, only that it was not his own "Random House".
@@SuperWinterborn Actually Bennett's book "Try and Stop Me" was published in 1944 (I have a 1945 printing of it), and the Sunday supplement column started off as a syndicated serialization of items from the book, then continued with new anecdotes once the book's material was used up. (Source: Cerf's "At Random", p. 181)
What year are we up to? Still getting Mystery guests I've never heard of! When's all the great film stars and TV stars coming along?
September 21st, 1952 per the title of the video.
THE MISLETOE (SIC) GUEST AND BLOCK, FUNNY, FUNNY, FUNNY !!!
A rare camera angel. 2:44
Johan, just playing. You mean "angle". The only Swedish word I know is "Ann-Margret". But you are right that camera angels are very rare. Although there have been sporadic reports of them for decades, I've never been able to spot one. Maybe someday I'll see one.
49yt Yes of course I meant "angle" and nothing else. :)
49yt ;) ! To you Johan Bengtsson: I know how easy it is to type some words you know very well very fast, and very wrong! ;)
SuperWinterborn I think it ought to be spelled the way I did it first... :) Welcome back! I haven't seen your comments here for some time. :)
Johan Bengtsson Thanks! :) I'm still about four videos behind, though...
Emerson is trying to act like Dorothy, even her expressions.
Cerf was quoted as calling Block a ‘clod’, not in the class of him. IMO Block, as was Steven Allen, was funny, intelligent & talented, only one of which Bennet was. I suspect Cerf & Daly were jealous of being completely upstaged, as their attempts at humour often failed. Suggested lines of questioning to get the most laughs was a great idea, it was a pity this practise was later discontinued.
I have to disagree; Cerf was clearly intelligent and talented. He was even funny when his wit was spontaneous. But he had a heavy-handed way of intentionally telling a joke that often diminished its humor: in musical terms he had a bad sense of rhythm, even when he knew the melody.
They all had different talents ...John Daly was so erudite , Bennet Cerf had the puns , Hal had the quips ...it's a shame his humour was risque on quite a few occasions which didn't suit the TV audience (as opposed to the studio audience)
Elsa’s dress like a bit ill fitting, no? :(
I sort of favor A Francis
Here in Israel, it is a custom for the men, after the Friday night Shabbat meal to wash their fingers at the table with a little ornamental device filled with water. Why? Who knows. I just follow the Jews, if I wanna eat. But I wonder is the practice of finger bowling continued anywhere in the world.
Only in extremely small alleys and with extremely small balls. 😆
Chris Barat I sentence you to three tears in Heaven chained to Bennett Cerf. YIKES! If I could dig up Hal Block, he'd have a finger full of quips about that! :)
Joe Postove This is an old ceremonial habit from the ancient Greece, who probably came in its origin form from the ancient Egypt, which preasthood again learned it from the ancient Bharat, (called "India" in the Western World now). The latter can be discussed, but the meaning of it, is to say: "From now of, I'm claiming myself to not be part of this/these sins. Please excuse me, and have mercy upon me". You can of course look it up everywhere you please do do, but all you then will get, is descriptions and theories of correct religious behaviour. I'm here just trying to explain a part of the reason why, and probably I'm going a little further in the topic, than you might find otherwise.
SuperWinterborn That was interesting SW! I'm going to look further into it. Thanks! Happy New Year from Headquarters!
Joe Postove Happy new year from the North, comrade! ;)
When are they going to get rid of of that sickening ham Hal block!
John was always so stingy on flipping the cards for male contestants to the point of cheating them sometimes
He got more relaxed in the later years.
Elsa Schiaparelli looks like Richard Simmons now that he is Fiona Simmons.
Ah, yes, the National Enquirer reported that Richard Simmons is undergoing a sex change, is cross-dressing and has assumed the name of Fiona Simmons. I don't know whether any of that is true. His publicist has denied it. Me, I doubt it, because if the National Enquirer reports something like this, the chances are overwhelming that they made it up. If the National Enquirer and the other supermarket checkstand tabloids ever do publish anything that turns out to be true, it's purely coincidental, I'd say.
Did Hal just say "he could be three relatives of mine"!? That was a fantastic fat joke
I wouldn't think Hal Block was in any position to talk in that respect.
Sal Bazaz I cringed.. and the audience didn't even react
It's weird but I didn't take that as a fat joke. I took it to mean that most of his family acted like low lifes.
Bet she was wearing hot pink. Faye shoulda been a regular.
Lady's hairdresser. Typo.
Actually, it's correct. He styles hair for more than one lady, hence the plural possessive.
Would the Elsa Schiaparelli segment be the part of the show when the husbands of America, say goodnight, honey and turn over and drift to sleep?
Schiaparelli looked terrible. Surprising.
I think the last contestant needed meal money the way he was directing John to flip the cards. YIPES!. However, the fat jokes are not nice. Is he the fattest regular contestant to ever appear on the show?
+Joe Postove
I think he is the most obnoxious challenger they had by far, at least as far as the episodes posted until this point. That is based solely on his behavior, not his physique or his profession. He even seemed to be deliberately trying to mislead with his answers. Of course, maybe he really only improved the appearance of his clients "sometimes", which would be a reason why he needed the money! I certainly would switch hair stylists if she only improved my appearance sometimes.
I was glad when his profession was guessed at the last minute so he didn't get the whole $50 by default with them running out of time.
@@loissimmons6558 Yes, he was different!
At first I liked him, but near the end he seemed too pushy, bossy, and too greedy for the limelight.
He knew he was fat, no sense being a phony
Then there was the dude that installed antennas on your roof
I don't care for Daly's unnecessary conferences, like with Miss Murphy.
Is it 😂PHOOF
Since when is Beer editable?
