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.

Question: the old quiz show from Canada
Front Page Challenge are any video left?
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.
Timmy's mom was a babe!
wait, how does john charles daly find time to host "its news to me" while doing "whats my line?"? today, its common because game shows are pre-recorded in adavnce, these two shows were not.
These shows required no rehearsal or prep time. John basically showed up 15 to 30 minutes before the show, got briefed by the producers on the guests, and left the studio shortly after the broadcasts ended. It's been said in many sources that WML required about 1 hour a week of John's time, maximum.
What's My Line?
Do you know what night of the week and time this show aired?
SaveThe TPC This and the prior show were on Sunday night, I think 7 or 7:30PM. The debut show, I don't remember. Likely not the same time slot because these last two shows were from a period where the show was a summer replacement for-- I think-- Murrow's People to People. The debut show was from a run during the regular season. (I'm relaying from memory information posted by people in the WML group on Facebook, so I may have gotten some details wrong).
Interestingly, 7/20/52-- the date of the last week's show-- coincides with the night of the first WML episode intentionally preserved thanks to Gil Fates. We have copies of the WML episodes from later in the evening following each of these "It's News To Me" programs.
What's My Line?
Oh, wow! Now I want to watch these episodes back-to-back with their corresponding WML episodes. I guess John's Sunday evenings were pretty busy for a while there!
SaveThe TPC And only because it's you, I knew I didn't have to dig up the links on your behalf because you're so perfectly capable of finding them yourself. . . and I'm lazy.
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.
Jenny Leeds Thank you for letting me know this information!!! Can't judge a book by its cover...
