There's supposedly a surviving episode of "Front Page Challenge" with Dorothy and Bennett as guest panelists, but I have my doubts over whether this is true, I'm just relaying something said in in comments on one of the videos. Honestly, I can't conceive of what possible circumstance would lead both of them to have appeared on a Canadian program not shown in the U.S. and little known to U.S. residents, not to mention the oddity of their both appearing on the same episode. But I guess it's possible.
I enjoyed watching this show very much. But I have to be honest, as a Black woman of Latino descent, I did find the Southern accents rather "scary" and off putting. My parents lived through Jim Crow, and I've heard my share of horror stories, trust me. When the actor mentioned that he dropped his Confederate flag in horror, I felt the hairs on the back of my neck go up... But the show was a product of the times, so it is was it is. Or was...
Joanna Gipson It's nice to see someone make an observation of this sort while keeping in mind the fact that times have changed. Usually people just register their offense, which then inevitably requires someone else to point out what you already did, that things were different 60 years ago. These are windows into our changing values as a society, and are valuable on that basis alone. Too many people think the solution to addressing content that wouldn't be considered acceptable today is to simply censor it all.
Exactly! Thank you for your sensitivity and understanding. I am aware of the social and political landscape of the time, and just "rolled with it". ♡♡♡♡
You might like to know that John Henry Faulk was a prominent civil rights activist. His father was a lawyer who represented African American defendants in Texas in the 30s and 40s. Don't let his southern accent fool you - he was a tremendous advocate for equal rights for all.

I so enjoy watching all the old game shows
Thank you for posting them.
My pleasure-- glad you're enjoying them!
Illuminating. Thanks very much.
John Henry Faulk was the man who put a stop to the Hollywood blacklist.
June Lockhart is the only one on the panel still alive, as of this writing.
damn was in the Hall of Mirrors to witness the Versailles Treaty...being alive in 1952, he literally witness the transition of empires.
At 14:05, John confirms that the actor performing the skits is indeed Frank Wayne.
Thanks, TPC-- I missed that. I knew it couldn't have been Alan Reed.
