To All, I am a fan of Arlene, Dorothy, Bennett, and John Charles Daly as I am 52 years old and can remember some of these episodes. Roots as well as Norbert on another channel-Thank You For The Memories. I am suffering from panic and anxiety attacks and these are giving me power to laugh. God Bless You. Myles
Thank you for posting another great clip! It was fun to see Dorothy recognize the guest! If possible, I would love to see more of the preceding clip with Carol and Martin on the panel.
i've seen her on tv shows from the 1960's but cannot recall which ones. (possibly bewitched and the like?) good job by her agent to get her exposure here.
Marilyn Monroe oddly was the first big death that affected me. I was 14 at the time and I remember going out into our backyard and staring up at the night sky saying to myself, "Marilyn Monroe is dead, Marilyn Monroe is dead." The fact seemed of cosmic significance somehow and in a way I guess it was. Now I look at the night sky and see only my own mortality staring back.
I am such a Dorothy Fan. Do you know I was 7 years old and I remember Mr. Daly saying how sad everyone that Dorothy died. That year my Grandfather died,, JFK died a little before, and RFK, and Martin Luther KIng...I think that has scarred me as an adult. The combination of all these deaths. I aslo remember the news saying Marilyn Monroe died in 1962 I think.
@henrygrove100 The contestant must have sold her a newspaper at a nightclub at some point! Incidentally, I recently saw an article about the contestant in a 1967 issue of the Village Voice--she went on to be a bartender at a well-known Village bar, the Duplex I think (I took notes but can't find the reference at the moment!).
Actually, I think that her first name was "S-u-z-i" Murphy, as she printed it on the chalkboard. (John Daly had trouble reading it, but I think she did, in fact, say "Suzi" as a corrective.)
I wish this had an original air-date listed somewhere. I would like to see the entire episode or at least the part with the contestant right before this lady newsboy.
RE: the interview clip of rocket engineer Buz Hello's appearance on 21 February 1965 WML. If any of TH-cam's WML mavens have a copy of this entire broadcast, I wish you would post it. 1 Dorothy did not show for some reason; the panel solved nothing that night including mystery guest James Mason. 2 unclear why director arranged the panel in that odd configuration. 3 Carol Channing wore the first pantsuit in WML history. 4 Channing gave the longest introduction EVER to introduce AF.
@henrygrove100 5:15 is the answer. This is 1965, and a few months before Dorothy died, and in this period -- her big haired woman of the world period -- she did puff up sometimes.
I am guessing here, but from context alone? I think he he was referring to John Daly being 'awkward' by being evasive in his answering. In those days I think being left-handed was still considered to be an odd/awkward thing, in some places it was seen as demonic (as stupid as that sounds nowadays).
@@LyingSecret Another word for left-handed is 'sinister'. And yes, being left-handed was considered to be evil in earlier times. Hopefully judging by skin color will sound just as stupid one day.
@TheBevanbevanbevan I like Dorothy a lot, but I have to admit I'm a bigger fan of Arlene. Try doing a search on her name or on "Voice of Broadway" (the name of her column) in the Google News Archive Search, I'm sure a ton of stuff will come up!
It's weird and incongruous that on a show which is so polite and overflowing with ettiquette and good manners, that whenever a young female guest makes an entrance, there is a chorus of vulgar wolf-whistling. Bizarre this behaviour was allowed on a primetime show Along with many other aspects of this show, it really is like you have come through a time warp when you watch it.

They are getting better. Thank you for your concern and have a great Holiday!

I clicked on this one because she's so cute!

what a touching and poetic comment.

Haha that was actually one of Cerfs better wordplays... The herd shot around the world lol
When I first saw her, I thought she looked like Nancy Sinatra.
I'm glad I'm not the only one!
good luck with your panic and anxiety attacks. i hope you're feeling safe and are enjoying the holiday season.
@Paul Edelstein - Dorothy recognized the guest, that's why she disqualified herself.

Another great pun by Bennett!

@TheBevanbevanbevan Yes I am a Dorothy Freak! Glad to know there are others out there like me!
I recall Arlene as the host of a radio show on WOR.
@YellowDogTV Sorry, I didn't save the whole thing...the most interesting part was John's "bull" line!

"A left-handed manner," I've never heard that expression before. Can someone clue me in as to the meaning of the phrase?

What kind of night club does one read a newspaper?
In the newspaper reading kind... 😉

People then had intelligence
@roots66 are you a dorothy freak like me? How can I read some of her artidles at her newspaper job? i'm in love !

Hi do are you a Dorothy freak like me???
Why does Dorothy disqualify herself? Dorothy looks a little puffy.
Paul Edelstein
She knew her.
Gee...the newspaper-selling gal looks very much like Nancy Sinatra
How does she spell her name? S-u-a-i?
