It was a truly harrowing plea to stop smoking and was only shown once in my locality, very late at night. I often thought it was too effective and was therefore blocked by the cigarette companies as a result.
@starababa1985: Never thought about that. You may be right. That would be rather despicable. Money over people’s health. - but like I said - I only needed to see it once and that was it. The Winston 100s went in the garbage. It was rather amazing.
It was the early days of TV, people are still feeling there way as to what works and doesn't, and there is a lot less pretension. Which was the way it had to be as you never knew what question will come out of someones mouth. People getting offended really isn't going to work in a live TV setting.
@@antonioacevedo5200 It's the most likely explanation. The panel knew their guest was a huge movie and theatre star, either a) with a voice so distinctive that it would be instantly recognised, hence he whistled, or b) for professional reasons he never used his voice (Emmett Kelly had appeared on What's My Line the previous year). The one big star known only to whistle in performance was Harpo Marx, hence the "blond curly hair" question. The panel didn't expect the audience's reaction.
I saw Yul Brynner perform live in The King and I, in theater in the round. He walked right past me on the way to the stage, and met my eyes when he took his bows. Unforgettable.
I've lived watching this old show especially the woman two very intelligent people. But the ignorance around the insults they dish out towards one of the first people of their country is palpable
Lawrence H. Hart (Black Beaver) - is a Cheyenne peace chief, a Mennonite pastor, an ex-Marine fighter pilot, a graduate of Mennonite educational institutions, a loving father and grandfather, a force to be reckoned with in certain Washington corridors where repatriation of Indian remains is at issue
Thanks for the information. I found Black Beaver's segment to be the most interesting. He was as intense and attractive as Yul Brynner in his way, an appeal based on veracity rather than artifice. Not at all surprising that he continued to lead a life of service to community, especially those who are marginalized. What a fine man.
Unfortunately, that link doesn't work anymore, but I found what I think is the same article at this link: themennonite.org/feature/lawrence-harts-vision-peace/ I'm glad to learn that he embraced his Native heritage after all. In answer to John's questions at the end of his segment, he indicated that he had no real association with traditional ways at that time in his life, but I guess that was only because the military demanded his full attention at that point, (as alluded to by John also).
Just watch right after he kisses their hands, how Dorothy's and Arlene's eyes adoringly just follow Yul Brynner all the way until he walks off the stage . This man oozed sex appeal effortlessly.
I never understood the concept of a lady “swooning” but I truly think if Yul Brynner ever spoke to me, that’s what I would do...swoon. What a man! RIP Mr. Brynner.
Yul Brynner was a major director in the days of early television.... and then the little musical "The King and I" came along. He appeared in the play 4625 times on stage.
Yeah, both Peter Lind Hayes and John Daly mentioned working with Yul Brynner on early television shows which he had directed. I found this quite surprising. IMDb credits him with 10 different directorial jobs, but although I see _We Take Your Word_ (the game show that John mentioned) listed, I don't see a credit for _The Stork Club_ , which PLH mentioned. www.imdb.com/name/nm0000989/?ref_=nmbio_bio_nm
Here's the Cast & Crew IMDb listing for _The Stork Club_ , which indeed featured Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healey. It does not include a director listing. www.imdb.com/title/tt4437094/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm
Yul Brynner was one of my favorite actors. But I really liked him for his intelligence. The guy spoke like seven languages. But alas another genius talent struck down by those damn cancer sticks.
@David Pinegar My intent was to testify about my experience as a way of encouraging and inspiring smokers that read my post as a form of encouragement to stop smoking.
That is so sad to think people risked their lives to sound better. I do think his voice was magnificent and soothing. I think it would have been just as good with the cancer sticks.
Kirk Douglas had recently won the NYFCC Award for "Lust for Life," so Arlene possibly was looking to guess right or (as it turned out) get one of the biggest WML laughs ever with her sly query.
BAMMM ........ Miss Francis is on fire !!! White Mink - " curly, blond hair ? " - then that LOOK she slides toward Mr. Daly during the final contestant. What a charmer and what a dame.
Amazing to think now that Yul Brynner almost didn't try out for King and I (even though Mary Martin strongly urged him to) because he was a fairly successful television director. 1956 was a really big year for Yul - King and I, Ten Commandments and Anastasia all came out that year
He was about 36 here. In 1953 when he was 33 years old and on Broadway with The King and I, Sal Mineo, age 14, had his first "taste" of stardom. He often thanked Yul for showing him the ropes. He certainly learned a lot, they had some serious sexual interactions. And if you check the internet, when he was still unknown at age 22, he posed for a group of full frontal nude photos. They are now on line.

thetiler No offense intended to either one of you. I was just trying to clarify to jtg3765 what I thought you meant. (I skipped a space this time to make sure I don't do the same thing again.)
Okay -- you talk about rude and insensitive -- Peter Lind Hayes at 5:06 has the bad taste to ask Black Beaver "Did you have to have a reservation to get into this country?" Even for 1956, that was just tasteless. Then came the "FBI" thing -- the "Federal Bureau of Indians". Ye gods. What a jerk.
YellowZinnias I have no difficulty believing any of that, I'm sad to say. I've been around for 64 years, and I've seen way too much bigotry on the part of people who have never had bigotry directed their way. Historically, Native Americans have been treated abysmally in the U.S.A. and I've no doubt that still goes on. Australia has had the same sort of history with the Aborigines. The only country I can think of that hasn't taken that approach is New Zealand. The British came in, but from the beginning, the Maori people have not be subjected to any sort of color bar but have been accorded equal treatment to all other New Zealanders, including those of European descent, and they don't have any social barriers there either. It's certainly not true in any other country where Europeans have taken over. The treatment of Native Americans in the U.S.A. has been nothing short of shameful.
On the contrary, james roe, EVERYONE should feel an obligation to follow standards of good taste. Based on other comments you left today, you're clearly not one who does. Goodbye!
Its a bad thought out joke as well, since hes an indian, his roots are connected to the same country, so he wouldnt need any reservation to get in (of course his tribe could have originated from Canada as well, but still). Peter Lind Hayes is likely to be more of a immigrant compared to Black Beaver.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for dropping in. The greatest house guests a 71-one-year old could hope for during self-isolation. The door's always open to WML and friend Gary. God bless.
What a GREAT time this was !! I am now 56 and it would have been nice to have been 56 during this era ! and yes indeed, Yul was a STUD & very talented man !! { I'll never forget that commercial they showed after he died in 1985 , " Just don't smoke " } Rest his soul ! He was LOVED !
There is a video of Yul Brynner slalom skiing that is just beautiful. He was very graceful and an expert, just like you know he would be. I like to think he is somewhere, skiing on a beautiful lake.
That's an interesting Indian name. My great great grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee Indian. She lived to be 103 years old. I wasn't born yet. Her daughter my great grandmother's hair would grow to her knees. She would cut it and make pony tails to sell to the wig store. I like how their names were chosen to have a meaning like, ' Walks Far Women'
I only found this show a couple weeks ago and it's been an absolute treat, I've been binge watching episodes and have become a big fan. One thing I've noticed is that there's a member of the studio audience who has this unique guffaw/cackle type laugh. This individual, for some reason, appears to have sat in the audience for nearly every episode I've watched and included his particular laugh into each one. I find his laugh positively hilarious and it really adds to the experience of watching the show. Given that he appears so frequently, I was hoping anyone out there might have information about his identity, as I've started to be driven crazy by not knowing who this man is, or why he's always in the audience(not that I wish he weren't, I just really want to know). I know for a fact that I've heard this man's laugh over many episodes of this program, which has added to my desire to uncover his identity. Because of his frequency and sometimes echo of his laugh, I've started to wonder if he perhaps was a producer or some similar executive that would have been present that often, not a simple viewer in the audience. Below I've included time stamps which contain this unique laugh I desperately request help identifying: 4:43 to 4:44 (After White Mink joke, as crowd laughter dies down) 10:41 to 10:43 (Prominently heard between waves of crowd laughter) 11:10 to 11:12 (Laugh at end of crowd laughter, so prominent it even makes Mr. Daly laugh and look at the audience) 12:59 to 13:02 (Heard under Mr.Daly explantation, only one laughing at Daly's joke about Arlene's answer) 15:47 to 15:50 20:36 to 20:38 20:46-20:49 please, anyone
For such a long time we have enjoyed this gentleman's work in so many areas. Admire him greatly for making a PSA about quitting smoking when he knew he was dying from cancer. To have it released after his passing- wow
I've loved Yul Brenner since I saw The King and I and The Ten Commandments when I was a kid. I loved how he would stand with his knuckles on his hips and his feet sideways.
I love the riotous laughter in the background during hilarious moments. A testament to the absolute magic created by the show over the years of its existence.
The loudest voice in the laughter is obviously a crew member - probably the man who warmed up the audience and prodded their applause. His laughter is heard on virtually every episode. (Much like Ed McMahon’s raucous laughter on the Tonight Show.)
From 'The King And I' to 'Westworld'....that's some breadth of brilliance. Love him in Westworld particularly, doesn't speak but he's astonishing in it.
Oh my god, Yul Brynner is smiling and being a smartass! I'm so used to him being brooding and intensely glaring at me, but no, here he's messing around with people and smiling and actually kinda shy. I like it! XD But seriously, though, it's nice to see him smile, I don't think I've ever seen him smile and look more relaxed, it's a welcome change. :)
I had the priviledge of meeting Yul Brynner here in Dallas TX back in 1978 at a woman's t ennis tournament. It's too bad I didn 't talk to him a little longer.
He was a great man. He had made arrangements for a tv commercial to air after he died. In the commercial he stated he had lung cancer and that is what killed him. He pleaded for people to quit smoking. It was a very raw commercial. I haven’t seen anything like it since then.
Dorothy looks ultra glamorous here with her lighter hair, and Arlene is just gorgeous as always. These women were so chic, the epitome of beauty and class, including gloves and sparklers.
I have a couple family members who are Marines (retired). They were encouraged to be "serious" considering the scope of their jobs in the military. Off-duty/retired, they both have fantastic senses of humor, enjoy joking around, and are quick and easy to laugh. You'd never know it seeing them on-duty. Semper fidelis!!
+700gsteak Men of that time period were so masculine. I think that is why that the 1940s and 1950s had the best men. Not talking about their personal habits, just their persona.
Cary Grant? Cary Grant was quite a feminine man and not attractive at all. Grant looked like all the other very unsexy american actors back then. Yul Brynner was a real man, masculine, sexy and unbelievably handsome and charming.
I saw Yul Brynner in The King and I in San Francisco! My mom and many others gave him a standing ovation, that he truly deserved!!!!!! He was and will always be The King to me, movie or stage!!!!!
This was such a great episode. The first two guests threw the panel off with their look and ethnicity. People were so concerned with their appearance that they were less concerned with their answers
Every time I've watched this show and there's been a black guest they've been respectful; in the sense that nobody made any comment about the fact. The first Native American or Indian guest I've seen on the show and they can't help themselves with the comments. I like this show because everyone is just nice and classy and it's the kind of thing you don't find on tv these days. "Did you have to have a reservation to get into this country?" is a little window through the facade of this show that highlights the scummier parts of this era.
Arlene's face is priceless at 23:05 when John stumps her by not doing his usual spiel and instead tells her "Go right ahead, dear!". I love all the small inside gags or jokes that this show had. "Did you say atomic?! Atomic energy?! That's incorrect! Seven down and three to go".
Oh yeah, there was absolutely ZERO chance of disguising it even for someone with acting skills as good as Yul's. That would be like trying to hide Morgan Freeman or James Earl Jones.
I didn't like the comment of Peter Hayes about reservation to this country and if you hear closely Bennett Cerf did not find it funny.Hear around 5;23.
I groan whenever I see PLH on the panel and after hearing that, I dislike him even more. Black Beaver makes Chuck Norris look like a momma's boy, so that just shows how obviously desperate PLH was for wits. Pathetic.
I agree. Peter Hayes even knew his comments were offensive as soon as he said them. He wouldn't even look the man in the eye as he said it. No class. Good restraint from a Marine.
James Givens: What do you mean he knew his comments were offensive as soon as he said them? That's nonsense, but I will explain. First, people need to be able to take jokes, criticism, other viewpoints, but there is nothing funny about this 'joke' about the reservation. I don't mean in the sense that it's not ok so say things that are not 'politically correct', as I disagree with the "you are not allowed to offend anyone' stance, it's that his 'joke' just wasn't funny and it was inappropriate. This guy was laughing after his own 'joke', he didn't look at that other guy because he didn't care and he was busy congratulating himself internally for making this cool (as he thought) joke! Then afterwards from what he said he seems to realise it was not quite ok and then shifted the blame to his son. This guy has a near emotionless expression on his face, except when he is laughing about his own comments. This Hayes guy is definitely anti-social, as is clear from other little hints from his face. And I don't need to see more of him to be sure, 15 seconds was enough...
Further I forgot to mention: not looking at another person is typical for anti-social people, you can see it in action especially clearly with psychopaths (e.g. many politicians and people in boards of companies are psychopaths, some have had some media training but you can recognise them easily if you are not gullible...)

Sometimes I wonder whether these panelists know who is actually there. I say that because I can not understand what would motivate such a question.

Yul Brynner was always so gorgeous even when he was older. I was only 12 or 13 when he died and He always mesmerized me and soothed me with his voice.
+cindy pruitt The voice was soothing, but only because he chain-smoked 5 packs a day.
Sad, but true!
You know, the studios used to encourage actresses whose voices were too high-pitched to take up smoking; e.g., Gene Tierney, Lauren Bacall.
That is so sad to think people risked their lives to sound better. I do think his voice was magnificent and soothing. I think it would have been just as good with the cancer sticks.
I don't know whether they knew about the risks back then. It is sad, though.

Yep, if you could only have one year in pictures, Brynner's 1956 is hard to beat, with a "King and I" Oscar win coming the next year (Sidney Poitier's 1967 is also huge with three smash hits, but no subsequent Oscar win or nom for his 1967 efforts).
If Yul Brynner had kissed my hand, I would have passed out.

Me too!!
Oh YES!!
Well, I'm a straight male, and I can see the attraction. He was a one off.
Alpha male.😍
Mr. Yul Brunner's look was way way before its time. He was good looking, a great actor, not your typical all American male actor. He stud out. Look at men today... Shaved heads, dark skin. He was truly the look of what men now try to look like.
"He stud out" - was that a misspelling or a good pun?

Arlene you nailed the humour so on the spot. ahahahahaha, the greatest line in the show for me : " DO you have blond curly hair? " ahahahaha. gets me every time.
@Kerry Kunze it was excellent but I think even funnier was when she guessed that Bob Hope was Bing Crosby
I wish TV today would have more shows like this! Especially enjoyable when the stars get on like Yul ! What stage presence he had!
I couldn't find anywhere in the video where Yul gave gifts.
True, I would love to be on a current TV show and get gifts from Oprah :) Yes !!!!
jtg3765"presence" = personal appearance or bearing, esp. of a dignified nature (definition #3 from: presence. Dictionary.com. Collins English Dictionary - Complete & Unabridged 10th Edition. HarperCollins Publishers. dictionary.reference.com/browse/presence [accessed: May 30, 2014].)
Presence - Thanks for the heads up. You didn't leave a space right after the "+jtg3765".
You have "+jtg3765" shoved right against "presence" :(

No offense intended to either one of you. I was just trying to clarify to jtg3765 what I thought you meant. (I skipped a space this time to make sure I don't do the same thing again.)
Yul Brynner is just plain dreamy
Yul was Marlene Dietrich's last great love and when talking about him as a lover she is at a loss for words.
Watching this in 2023. Great show. Yul Brynner one of the finest and charismatic actors you could ever meet. Wish I could've met him.❤
I salute you sir and thank you for your service!
Peter is so flat. No one laughed. But Yul’s charisma is immense!
Were we watching the same show?
Okay -- you talk about rude and insensitive -- Peter Lind Hayes at 5:06 has the bad taste to ask Black Beaver "Did you have to have a reservation to get into this country?" Even for 1956, that was just tasteless. Then came the "FBI" thing -- the "Federal Bureau of Indians". Ye gods. What a jerk.
I was just thinking the same thing
YellowZinnias I have no difficulty believing any of that, I'm sad to say. I've been around for 64 years, and I've seen way too much bigotry on the part of people who have never had bigotry directed their way. Historically, Native Americans have been treated abysmally in the U.S.A. and I've no doubt that still goes on. Australia has had the same sort of history with the Aborigines. The only country I can think of that hasn't taken that approach is New Zealand. The British came in, but from the beginning, the Maori people have not be subjected to any sort of color bar but have been accorded equal treatment to all other New Zealanders, including those of European descent, and they don't have any social barriers there either. It's certainly not true in any other country where Europeans have taken over. The treatment of Native Americans in the U.S.A. has been nothing short of shameful.
On the contrary, james roe, EVERYONE should feel an obligation to follow standards of good taste. Based on other comments you left today, you're clearly not one who does. Goodbye!
Thank you, Gary.
Its a bad thought out joke as well, since hes an indian, his roots are connected to the same country, so he wouldnt need any reservation to get in (of course his tribe could have originated from Canada as well, but still). Peter Lind Hayes is likely to be more of a immigrant compared to Black Beaver.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for dropping in. The greatest house guests a 71-one-year old could hope for during self-isolation. The door's always open to WML and friend Gary. God bless.
I agree 💯 percent 😊
What a GREAT time this was !! I am now 56 and it would have been nice to have been 56 during this era ! and yes indeed, Yul was a STUD & very talented man !! { I'll never forget that commercial they showed after he died in 1985 , " Just don't smoke " } Rest his soul ! He was LOVED !
There is a video of Yul Brynner slalom skiing that is just beautiful. He was very graceful and an expert, just like you know he would be. I like to think he is somewhere, skiing on a beautiful lake.
That's an interesting Indian name. My great great grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee Indian. She lived to be 103 years old. I wasn't born yet. Her daughter my great grandmother's hair would grow to her knees. She would cut it and make pony tails to sell to the wig store. I like how their names were chosen to have a meaning like, ' Walks Far Women'
I only found this show a couple weeks ago and it's been an absolute treat, I've been binge watching episodes and have become a big fan. One thing I've noticed is that there's a member of the studio audience who has this unique guffaw/cackle type laugh. This individual, for some reason, appears to have sat in the audience for nearly every episode I've watched and included his particular laugh into each one. I find his laugh positively hilarious and it really adds to the experience of watching the show. Given that he appears so frequently, I was hoping anyone out there might have information about his identity, as I've started to be driven crazy by not knowing who this man is, or why he's always in the audience(not that I wish he weren't, I just really want to know). I know for a fact that I've heard this man's laugh over many episodes of this program, which has added to my desire to uncover his identity. Because of his frequency and sometimes echo of his laugh, I've started to wonder if he perhaps was a producer or some similar executive that would have been present that often, not a simple viewer in the audience. Below I've included time stamps which contain this unique laugh I desperately request help identifying:
4:43 to 4:44 (After White Mink joke, as crowd laughter dies down)
10:41 to 10:43 (Prominently heard between waves of crowd laughter)
11:10 to 11:12 (Laugh at end of crowd laughter, so prominent it even makes Mr. Daly laugh and look at the audience)
12:59 to 13:02 (Heard under Mr.Daly explantation, only one laughing at Daly's joke about Arlene's answer)
15:47 to 15:50
20:36 to 20:38
20:46-20:49
please, anyone
at 20 46 very clearly and powerfully laughs))) excellent easter you found ... need to solve
@@Miriceneremy brother Jim Obrian was the laughter guy, he'd attend weekly since no charge to watch😊
For such a long time we have enjoyed this gentleman's work in so many areas. Admire him greatly for making a PSA about quitting smoking when he knew he was dying from cancer. To have it released after his passing- wow
I've loved Yul Brenner since I saw The King and I and The Ten Commandments when I was a kid. I loved how he would stand with his knuckles on his hips and his feet sideways.
I really like Yul Brynner's voice. It's so deep and sexy. Definitely up there with Gregory Peck.
Death to Pharaoh!
I was disappointed that he did not talk more after he was revealed.
@David Pinegar Wtf has Latino community to do with anything ?
Yul was born in Russia.
Beautiful days.. what humbleness and sheer joy in watching these people. Mutual respect and deceny. Great video. Thanks for posting this
I'd be that girl in the audience screaming when Yul Brynner walked onstage.
I love the riotous laughter in the background during hilarious moments. A testament to the absolute magic created by the show over the years of its existence.
The loudest voice in the laughter is obviously a crew member - probably the man who warmed up the audience and prodded their applause. His laughter is heard on virtually every episode. (Much like Ed McMahon’s raucous laughter on the Tonight Show.)
@@terryvMy brother Jim would attend the show regularly and he did the loud laughing😅
From 'The King And I' to 'Westworld'....that's some breadth of brilliance. Love him in Westworld particularly, doesn't speak but he's astonishing in it.
The finest bald man I’ve ever seen 😍
finest man, period.😍
"Do you have blond curly hair ? " Killer question from Arlene Francis. Yul Brynner was such a Mega Star.
nice to see the handsome Cheyenne pilot too :-)
Oh my god, Yul Brynner is smiling and being a smartass! I'm so used to him being brooding and intensely glaring at me, but no, here he's messing around with people and smiling and actually kinda shy. I like it! XD
But seriously, though, it's nice to see him smile, I don't think I've ever seen him smile and look more relaxed, it's a welcome change. :)
AishaVonFossen k
Pretty man.
The best Cajun cowboy ever.
The king and I was superb
He deserves more awards
I had the priviledge of meeting Yul Brynner here in Dallas TX back in 1978 at a woman's t ennis tournament. It's too bad I didn 't talk to him a little longer.
It was very polite of Dorothy to ask what name she should use for Black 🦫 Beaver. Respectful.
Dorothy and Arlene were googly eying him all over the place!
The most handsome Baldie of all time
You're forgetting Larry David, aren't you? ;)
Are there any others?
He was a great man. He had made arrangements for a tv commercial to air after he died. In the commercial he stated he had lung cancer and that is what killed him. He pleaded for people to quit smoking. It was a very raw commercial. I haven’t seen anything like it since then.
@@amandajstar Telly Savalas ?
@@lewisner I'll stick with Yul, myself : )
Interesting Marine Fighter Pilot from Oklahoma. He looked like one!
He looked like an athlete, even more.
Dorothy looks ultra glamorous here with her lighter hair, and Arlene is just gorgeous as always. These women were so chic, the epitome of beauty and class, including gloves and sparklers.
Yul Brenner was marvelous in The King and I.
Black Beaver seems so stern and serious to the point of his face scowling right off of his skull yet Arlene melts him in an instant.
He's probably serious because of all the racist slurs hurled at him. Shocking. How far we've come
I have a couple family members who are Marines (retired). They were encouraged to be "serious" considering the scope of their jobs in the military.
Off-duty/retired, they both have fantastic senses of humor, enjoy joking around, and are quick and easy to laugh. You'd never know it seeing them on-duty.
Semper fidelis!!
Marines...
Stupid comment two years ago, and stupid today.
@@jessicapigg Yes, shocking how today the word "racist" is used by the conditioned emptyheads wrongly in 99.99% of cases.
An exquisitely beautiful and charming man.
Whew...Yul knew he was fine.
Good looking man, love his films, very attractive
I'm just watching this to watch Yul Brynner;s mannerisms. Truely a very cool and manly person. He is right up there with Carey Grant for coolness.
+700gsteak Men of that time period were so masculine. I think that is why that the 1940s and 1950s had the best men. Not talking about their personal habits, just their persona.
Cary Grant? Cary Grant was quite a feminine man and not attractive at all. Grant looked like all the other very unsexy american actors back then.
Yul Brynner was a real man, masculine, sexy and unbelievably handsome and charming.
I wonder if the Cuban guy got out before Casto hijacked the Island. This episode was filmed two years before that happened.
I saw Yul Brynner in The King and I in San Francisco! My mom and many others gave him a standing ovation, that he truly deserved!!!!!! He was and will always be The King to me, movie or stage!!!!!
Yul Brinner: what a man!!
Yul Brynner is so freaking hot! He makes me go weak in the knees!
All I can say is "Yul Brynner...SIGH".
ohsnapiam59 you’re right. Also rrrrrrr! Hot stuff
Brynner was a small man, but he had the voice of a giant.
Small man with large parts.
Doesn't look small whatsoever.
This was such a great episode. The first two guests threw the panel off with their look and ethnicity. People were so concerned with their appearance that they were less concerned with their answers
What a great actor and a class act..!
Every time I've watched this show and there's been a black guest they've been respectful; in the sense that nobody made any comment about the fact. The first Native American or Indian guest I've seen on the show and they can't help themselves with the comments. I like this show because everyone is just nice and classy and it's the kind of thing you don't find on tv these days. "Did you have to have a reservation to get into this country?" is a little window through the facade of this show that highlights the scummier parts of this era.
The coolest person ever and a brilliant actor.
I just Googled Yul Brynner, and found he had an interesting life. Check him out! And watch when Arlene asks if he has blond curly hair, 17:09!
Arlene's face is priceless at 23:05 when John stumps her by not doing his usual spiel and instead tells her "Go right ahead, dear!". I love all the small inside gags or jokes that this show had. "Did you say atomic?! Atomic energy?! That's incorrect! Seven down and three to go".
Nice to see Yul having some fun and showing his goofier side. He's so striking and always seems so serious.
Probably one of the loudest welcoming receptions I’ve ever heard from the audience. “Do you have blond curly hair” 😂😂😂😂
Brynner had a fairly deep voice so it would have been hard to disguise it
And that beautiful accent.
Oh yeah, there was absolutely ZERO chance of disguising it even for someone with acting skills as good as Yul's. That would be like trying to hide Morgan Freeman or James Earl Jones.
Lots of guests with deep voices successfully disguised their voices with very effective falsettos.
Yul Brynner, handsome, sexy guy. Such beautiful lips.
I love Brynner so much
Yul Brenner was such a handsom man. Just a wonderful time, look how nicely the ladys were dressed.
Mr. Black Beaver was gracious even through Mr Hayes' rude and disrespedtful 'jokes' fell flat on his face [and that of his 'adorable' son - yecchh].
Is that the Great Pharaoh's son on What's My Line? "My Sweet." Yul Brynner, always one of television's greatest actors.
Dude was so cool and that voice!!
Listen to the women scream when Yul Brynner comes out!
ohsnapiam59 I love that part! If I were in their place I definitely would have screamed with joy right along with them.
Yes intended he had that strong charismatic
ohsnapiam59 It was usually beautiful girls like Natalie Wood who got wolf whistles from men in the audience ;-)
When he got up to leave I was thinking, No! Stay and talk more!
Arlene? Arlene? Can't blame her!
I didn't like the comment of Peter Hayes about reservation to this country and if you hear closely Bennett Cerf did not find it funny.Hear around 5;23.
I groan whenever I see PLH on the panel and after hearing that, I dislike him even more. Black Beaver makes Chuck Norris look like a momma's boy, so that just shows how obviously desperate PLH was for wits. Pathetic.
I agree. Peter Hayes even knew his comments were offensive as soon as he said them. He wouldn't even look the man in the eye as he said it. No class. Good restraint from a Marine.
James Givens: What do you mean he knew his comments were offensive as soon as he said them? That's nonsense, but I will explain. First, people need to be able to take jokes, criticism, other viewpoints, but there is nothing funny about this 'joke' about the reservation. I don't mean in the sense that it's not ok so say things that are not 'politically correct', as I disagree with the "you are not allowed to offend anyone' stance, it's that his 'joke' just wasn't funny and it was inappropriate. This guy was laughing after his own 'joke', he didn't look at that other guy because he didn't care and he was busy congratulating himself internally for making this cool (as he thought) joke! Then afterwards from what he said he seems to realise it was not quite ok and then shifted the blame to his son. This guy has a near emotionless expression on his face, except when he is laughing about his own comments. This Hayes guy is definitely anti-social, as is clear from other little hints from his face. And I don't need to see more of him to be sure, 15 seconds was enough...
Further I forgot to mention: not looking at another person is typical for anti-social people, you can see it in action especially clearly with psychopaths (e.g. many politicians and people in boards of companies are psychopaths, some have had some media training but you can recognise them easily if you are not gullible...)
A class act.
