Tony Randall is great on the panel. Always enjoy him when he is a member. Nancy Sinatra's boots weren't walkin yet when this show aired. Thanks for the video.
@@golden-63 Wrong! Plenty of proof, you just refuse to READ anything about it! If you don't READ, you won't LEARN anything, because the mass media is strongly biased, and will not tell you the truth on subjects and controversies as this one. Mark Shaw has written 3 books. Pick up his latest from 2022, and stop depending on the large mass media. Books and independent websites and researchers, not tied to the large networks are better at digging out the truth. Seymour Hersh is one well-known researcher who has found the buried truth, far better and unbiased contrasted to the Operation Mockingbird corporate networks and large city newspapers, as are CBS, NBC, ABC, NY Times, Wash Post, etc.

mine is Some Velvet Morning. Don't know much about Tommy Sands except that it seems unfair he was blacked listed by "Don" Sinatra (allegedly). And I'm a Frankie fan since I was a teenager
maynardsmoreland I've never met her, but I saw her in that blockbuster, Ghost in the Invisible Bikini. When she sings during the pool scene I could tell how tiny and delicate she is.
John Steelman I've found a few more: Summer Wine, You Only Live Twice, No She Won't, Bang Bang. She was a really cute, little 60s woman. It's too bad she's stuck up....Well, you are, Nancy!
Tommy Sands was such a good-looking young man! Totally adorable. His divorce from Nancy Sinatra must have been painful, and I hope he has had a happy life since then.
@@yougottabekidding7476 Both Frank and Tommy denied Frank had Tommy black-listed. Until very recently, Tommy had a youtube up, and it was heartbreaking. He spoke of his regrets, his mistreatment of Nancy Sinatra, and his birth in- surprise- Russia- not Mexico. He lives in a poor but loving semi-rural home- I forgot where- and his grandson (maybe great-grandson) was with him in the video. It looked like Nancy wasn't providing Tommy a penny, but then she is under no obligation. It's also possible word got to Nancy and she gave Tommy some money and he took it down. He seemed like a nice guy who was down on his luck.
@@yougottabekidding7476 There was a video that has since been taken down. I saw it last year. Tommy was seated at a modest kitchen table being interviewed. He discussed his life, starting with his birth in Russia, Nancy, stardom, and his wish to go back to work now. I am convinced word reached the Sinatra family, always sensitive to bad publicity. www.youtube.com/@athomewithtommysands1267/about
I have always loved Tony Randall he is such a classy guy. I loved his old movies before he did The odd couple and I loved him with Jack klugman in The odd couple.
Frank Sinatra and ever Nancy denied reports that 'Old Blue Eyes' used his influence and put the kibosh on Tommy Sands career after he and Nancy divorced. Yet Sands career was never the same after he and Nancy broke up.
Tommy Sands was very talented. He had a amazing voice as well. He was so handsome he was the total package in my opinion he had it all. I have his music on my playlist now in 2022. I was born in 1962 so as a young girl when I saw him in Sing Boy Sing. The movie l still have a Teenage Crush on him to this day. I love you Tommy Sands All the way from Cleveland Ohio ❤️❤️💋💋💋🥰🥰🥰🎶🎶🎶.
He was simply Stunning. A real talented singer as well as a great actor. I've followed his career for yrs. I wish that l could of met him in his prime 💋💋🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍.
Nancy Sinatra. The girl who made boots more famous than ever with her signature song "These Boots Are Made for Walking", and also the daughter of one of Dorothy Kilgallen's enemies. She'd appear again on this show a year later as Mystery Guest by herself.
People have forgotten that, mostly in large cities, newspapers would publish a "bulldog" edition that would come out in the evening before the were delivered to homes in the morning. My uncle used to go out in New Jersey every night about 10pm to pick up the Daily News.
bambi Interesting that you said that. Because when nancy and tommy broke up, Frank made sure Sands never worked again. Hence, why Sand got out of the business,and ran a nightclub in Hawaii
Tommy Sands was 27, Nancy 24. They divorced later that year, married 1960-65. He was 22, she 19 in 1960 if married before June 8, her 20th; he on Aug. 27. He is now 85, she 82 (Mar. 2023).
How hideously different things are now. Whenever Bennett or any of the panel travelled somewhere for pleasure, it got mentioned on live TV. Nowadays, most celebrities would keep that sort of thing secret for fear of cuing their stalkers.
In the 60s, if kids, even pre-schoolers, did anything newsworthy, like run a lemonade stand for charity, they’d get their names, ages, and addresses published in the local papers under their photos. Nobody was alarmed. My photo and detaiks were printed in a major city paper when i was just three, trying to hit a golf ball with my dad’s club at a new driving-range. Today, it would be “open season” for predators.
Thanks for posting these wonderful shows. I was 9 years old when this was on so I wasn't interested but my parents watched it. I vaguely remember Dorothy Kilgallen passing but I have no memories as the whys & how she died.
My beloved Mother's 37th birthday. She's been in Heaven some years, sitting at the feet of Yeshua Messiah. I was overly blessed to have her as my Mom. Miss you, Mama, still love you more than words can say.
Bennett Cerf's "Well, if they didn't go to school with Tony Randall, they can't be Lunt and Fontanne" (18:20) elicited as much of a roar from this viewer as it did from Tony Randall! The "pre-eminent Broadway acting couple of American history" (Wikipedia) was born a generation before Tony was.
romeman01 Thanks for the info. I was not familiar enough with who they were to get the joke at all, and actually thought Bennett was serious. I wonder who Tony really was thinking of.
To my knowledge Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne never appeared on this program (they do not appear in the directory that I usually consult), but they have been immortalized on TH-cam here Helen Hayes, Alfred Lunt, Lynn Fontanne, and Katharine Hepburn and here Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne with German Shepherd . This, by the way, I just discovered www.tenchimneys.org/about/about-lynn-alfred ; running quickly down the page and scanning the boxed quotes, it is astonishing to see how highly regarded they were by their peers as actors and as human beings. Astonishing is not strong enough ... it is dumbfounding.
Joe Postove No, they weren't. For some reason I also thought I had seen them on an earlier episode, but I must be mixing them up with another duo. I checked both Gil Fates' appendix of mystery guests and IMDb, and they do not seem to have ever appeared on WML.
The revolving door was like a cunning riddle which fooled the panel. It brought up the interesting question of what defines a machine - does a machine for example have to contain an engine or motor? I'd say no because a bicycle is a machine without either. This show is light entertainment but often delves deeper than that whilst giving an authentic taste of attitudes (particularly towards working women) and of humour (Bennet's laborious puns for example) in those past decades. Well worth watching.
A machine technically moves an object through space using force. So a lever is the simplest of machines; the revolving door is techincally a lever applied sideways. Pushing on the far end makes the center move, and allows passage through the doorway without breaking the air seal. So, yes, a revolving door should have been categorized as a machine.
Nancy Sinatra would file for divorce from Tommy Sands a little more than four months after this appearance, and the divorce would be finalized July 28. Sands claimed the divorce got him blackballed in Hollywood, and he only had one one movie acting appearance afterward (The Violent Ones, 1967), three appearances on Hawaii 5-O (1968-1976), and one on The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries (1978).
Yes, it definitely was Frank who blackballed Sands. Who knows if he would've been a great singer or actor, but I saw his acting performances and he wasn't bad, and he was a decent singer, so he definitely would've gone a bit further if not for sinatra
When I was a Baby, Bobby Darin lived 2 doors over from our house in New jersey with his Sister who was actually his Mother and his Grandmother who he thought was his Mother. If you ever heard or hear the Song "Marlena" by Frankie Valli & the 4 Seasons, Marlena live right next door to us. just thought I'd throw that out there.
@@Musician-r5q This is the same family dynamic as Jack Nicholson. His "sister" June was his biological mother and his "mother" Ethel May Nicholson, was actually his grandmother. He was in his thirties when he found out. Some sources have his uncle, Shorty Smith, telling him on his deathbed. Others have a reporter contacting him.
@Musician-Songwriter Recall one of the many bios I've read about Bobby, how astonished and really pissed off he was when he found out who his real mother and sister were....think he made the comment my whole life has been a lie...also found out he was a very good chess player and loved the game...and was planning on bringing the top players in the world to Vegas for the richest tournament in history...sadly his death ended this event.
To PEG IRISH-also in 1957 SAL MINIO,TAB HUNTER were climbing the TOP POP SONG CHARTS as well as TOMMY SANDS! I think MINIOS song was titled 'KEEP A MOVIN'(in my direction) and TAB HUNTERS was 'YOUNG LOVE' The TEEN IDOL YEARS were now quickly under way and would blossom in full by 1963 and then break down tru 1966.
20:32: President Johnson also cut into "The Ed Sullivan Show" on Sunday night, Oct. 18, 1964, which prompted Sullivan to signal Jackie Mason to speed up his routine, leading to Mason's infamous finger gesture.
Tony dies one happy much older man that married an younger woman and had 2 children and he quoted my man my age with young children he was so.hapoy he said. Love Tony in all his movies such a nice person in real life as well.
They were just months away from the end of their five year marriage and Tommy's career was immediately in the toilet and Nancy's father supposedly had 'nothing to do with it'.
And a few months later, Nancy Sinatra and Tommy Sands would divorce. It's always interesting watching these and seeing what came of some of these people and their relationships.
Why would President Johnson speak to the nation at 10:55 ET on a Sunday night?Jeepers! Maybe to get the whole country in prime time. I wonder they would work it out on the coast? Would Ed Sullivan give up 5 minutes of his time?
From the "Feb 28, 1965" daily listings: "The United States and South Vietnam announced that sustained bombing of North Vietnam, Operation Rolling Thunder, would begin during the coming week."
@@dellaroux Yeah, that's what I figured it was about; that's about the time I remember that 💩 ramping up. I was like 8 then; every evening, every newscast, the war report. X amount of soldiers died today. Years of that. People think kids aren't affected by that; wrong! I was continually saddened hearing about young boys getting killed over there. Later, hearing about the Viet Namese civilians being massacred. I was lucky I didn't turn 17 until it finally ended. Anyway, any war veterans out there, thank you for your service; we think about you, even the little kids.
Nancy Sinatra also sang the title track to the 5th official James Bond film "You Only Live Twice" (1967). I do not know a single person who hates the title track to that film. Everywhere I have read, there have been nothing but good comments about the song, and Nancy's performance on it. I thought the title track to "Goldfinger" performed by Shirley Bassey would be the most beloved James Bond theme ever, but apparently not.
Listening to it after some years, I had forgotten just how lovely it was. It is hard to choose between this and the Theme from "Goldfinger". I'll just have to go with my gut on this one and stay with Goldfinger for now. Stay tuned for any changes.
Two of my favourites from Nancy were "Sugartown" and another tune she did with Lee Hazlewood called "Some Velvet Morning". The '60s were filled with great music and Nancy's contributions to the scene still shine.
Since today (2/20/19) happens to be Sidney Poitier's 92nd birthday, I'll speculate that if the #1 Hit title song, "To Sir With Love" had come out 1 or 2 years before YOLT, Bond producers might have hired Lulu instead, due to her Brit connection. My favorite 007 titles to sing are those by Tom Jones, Garbage and Adele.
According to Wikipedia "In 1960, Sands married Nancy Sinatra, from whom he was divorced in 1965. At that point in his career, Frank Sinatra had him "blacklisted" in the entertainment industry." Does anyone know about that, how true it is, and if Frank still had that kind of pull in 1965? Tommy is alive, 77 years old, and it appears that indeed he did not do much after the 60's.
I saw that too. Wow. The other interesting bit of trivia from that article is that he co-sang the opening theme from the original Parent Trap movie. That's some legacy!
+Joe Postove , did you look this information up on Wikipedia because I did. From all indications, Tommy Sands' film career was spotty to say the least. By the way, have you seen any of the films Tommy Sands was in? Perhaps he wasn't that talented. : /
I think he was a flash in the pan (a failure after a brief and showy start, or momentary sensation of no real importance). I don't remember where I got the information, Linda, it may have very well have been Wiki. Perhaps he makes his living on the oldies circuit (though one has to doubt how well he would do even there) or maybe Frank threw him some cash to go away.
Joe Postove Nancy asked him to call her on Geraldo Rivera's show so apparently she's not holding a grudge. And that's after he said she was a love child. My guess is that Frank didn't do anything to him. I think the way it works in Hollywood is that if somebody doesn't something FOR you, you've had it.
What speech did President LBJ give on February 28, 1965 that the show had to end earlier? I did a search, but not seeing anything. I am guessing it had to do with Vietnam, but not sure.
To MR.GREENJEANS it is possible SANDS suit was of a teal color:BLUE with a shine of greenish/GREEN with a shine of blueish-because DALY tells SANDS not to worry because SPRING is around the corner!!
Strict dress codes were adhered to by everyone at that time. Nancy was quite right to bring it up & let Tommy explain. Neither would’ve wanted Tommy to have appeared gauche by ignoring the fashion “rules” of the time.
Miss Murphy, the "Newsboy". Made me think of a pop group, who formed in the 1980's, from memory, and is still getting around, named the "Newsboys". Miss Murphy was a young lady, and for the record "The Newsboys" are now older men. Strange days.
Well, that didn't last long. A week after being absent due to the "executive flu", Dorothy is back. They did two shows that night (the one they did before aired on August 1).
There they are. Nancy's father feuded with Dorothy. Yet -- they met here. They shook hands. They exchanged brief pleasantries. Nowadays, TV producers would do that kind of booking and hope that someone would pick up a chair and crack it over the other for the sake of big ratings.
May be dead wrong here, but I think a newspaper with its ink on paper is quite like a photograph with its solutions that leave the image on its paper and not like an automobile at all. A Daly error?
Mr. Sands might have apologized for his suit, but it held up well and if he had wanted to, he could have found a bow tie to wear with it. Movie stars normally wouldn’t bring their entire wardrobe with them to a location shoot even if they were doing something else after a day’s shoot.
President Johnson made a "Statement by the President on the Neighborhood Youth Corps." February 28, 1965 If this is what is going on . . . . why Sunday at almost 11 p.m. on the east coast.?? Did the president assume that since he went to bed around 2 am that everyone else did the same?
soulierinvestments You're right. That does seem a very odd time for the president to give a non-emergency televised speech to the country -- especially one relating to youth! Could he perhaps have been speaking from an event on the West Coast?
Here's the text: www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=27444. Doesn't seem like much of a speech, does it? Seems more like just a written statement. There must have been something else... but I can't find any other reference to any speech made by LBJ on Feb. 28, 1965. That date is notably absent from the list of speeches at the same website: www.presidency.ucsb.edu/medialist.php?presid=36.
From www.tv.com: "The address by President Johnson announced the opening of the 1965 American Red Cross Campaign. On January 28, 1965, LBJ designated the month of March 1965 as Red Cross Month. (Proclamation 3636; 30 F.R. 1109; 3 CFR, 1965 Supp.) His remarks were filmed and recorded in advance for broadcast to the three major networks (ABC, NBC & CBS) immediately preceding local stations' late night newscasts. - drexelgal"
With the mystery guests I do note the panel seems to guess they out pretty quickly. And the only reason I think they do is because I suppose being that the show is in New York. I believe the panel, and especially Kilgallen and Francis who seems to guess correctly most of the time read up on what entertainers are coming or are in New York at the time, put 2 and 2 together and .. bingo. They just seem to get these folks to fast in my opinion. Any theories out there anyone on how they seem to guess these folks so fast?
Yes, it's very irritating when hey do that. Makes it too easy on the panel. IMO only an insecure guest would do this. Like it might be embarrassing to them if they weren't "discovered" by the panel so they make sure that the questioners find them out.
Some years ago, there was some discussion of this on a "stand-alone" clip of this segment. (This was long before Gary began assembling his rich treasure trove of complete episodes; in fact, I think it was during the era in which TH-cam's time limit for the length of clips posted was either 10 or 15 or 20 minutes.) I think that Suzi Murphy wound up as either a bartender at or the proprietress of one of New York City's lesbian bars.
Good singer, decent actor. Very short lived. Soon after this wml episode he and nancy got a divorce. Nancy's father ,Frank Sinatra had Sands blackballed, never to work in the industry again. So thats why you never heard of him
I think Dorothy gave out a pretty fair clue by asking a question and then disqualifying herself. There should be some standard way to do what Dorothy did without giving out clues. Hmmm. The young lady carries her product from place to place AND Dorothy is a newspaper woman. Wheels are turning.
Joe Postove But she didn't sell Dorothy's paper. I think it's more likely Dorothy knew her from her after-hours "clubbing" activities than through her own newspaper work.
But the other panelists only heard that Dorothy was quitting the game, in addition to the details about her carrying her product from place to place. I don't think it mattered at that point or was known what time of day she worked. I think.
Joe Postove Well, it could be that Arlene got so close to guessing the product because she was thinking along the same lines you are. The funny thing is that it would be pure coincidence even if that's true, though, because Dorothy would be just as likely to have seen her if she was going around to different places selling gum and candy, or any other product, for that matter.
Did Frank blame Tommy for the divorce because it does take two to tango and if hs career tanked I think that was very small of Frank who should have been a better man about it
Well pretty obvious how Frank felt. He had Sands blackballed, to never work in the industry again. Sands was doing fine both as singer and actor. His career didn't 'tank' , Sinatra ended it

She had only 8 months remaining. Only 52 when someone murdered her.

My particular favorite Nancy Sinatra song is "Summer Wine." Tommy Sands starred in the 1961 Disney "Babes in Toyland" which I liked a lot.

Sommer wine and sugar town
Nuts after this song
Tony Randall is my favorite guest panelist. He is charming, humble, intelligent and has a great sense of humor. Always enjoy him and love this show.
I met Nancy Sinatra in 1995 during her music tour. She was a very nice lady, and very tiny!
maynardsmoreland I've never met her, but I saw her in that blockbuster, Ghost in the Invisible Bikini. When she sings during the pool scene I could tell how tiny and delicate she is.
She was in Viet Nam when I was in the Marines back in 1960's.
John Steelman Did you get to kiss her? Haha!
No, sure didn't , her main song was....." these boots were made for walking........."
John Steelman I've found a few more: Summer Wine, You Only Live Twice, No She Won't, Bang Bang. She was a really cute, little 60s woman. It's too bad she's stuck up....Well, you are, Nancy!

The revolving door segment was a hoot! It took all the powers of the panel to get not very far. they were sort of all around it.
Maybe you could say that they got stuck in the revolving door.... ;-)
Interesting how Sands apologizes for wearing the suit he had on. It was daytime wear, not evening black.
I have always loved Tony Randall he is such a classy guy. I loved his old movies before he did The odd couple and I loved him with Jack klugman in The odd couple.
Frank Sinatra and ever Nancy denied reports that 'Old Blue Eyes' used his influence and put the kibosh on Tommy Sands career after he and Nancy divorced. Yet Sands career was never the same after he and Nancy broke up.
I find it quite ironic that Frank Sinatra did something to ruin Tommy Sands career seeing he was married 4 or 5 times.
Tommy had limited talent and after Elvis there were many wantabees including Tommy

Nancy Sinatra. The girl who made boots more famous than ever with her signature song "These Boots Are Made for Walking", and also the daughter of one of Dorothy Kilgallen's enemies.
She'd appear again on this show a year later as Mystery Guest by herself.
I was wondering if there was tension at this time between Dorothy and Nancy given what Dorothy was up to with regards to Frank.
What did dorothy do to Frank?
My favorite song, I was 3 in 1964.
People have forgotten that, mostly in large cities, newspapers would publish a "bulldog" edition that would come out in the evening before the were delivered to homes in the morning. My uncle used to go out in New Jersey every night about 10pm to pick up the Daily News.

Speaking of Nancy's songs, I liked Sugar town and A duet called Jackson. I thought she did some good stuff.
Some Velvet Morning is my favorite!
Tommy and Nancy were splitsville a few months after this show aired.
Tommy Sands was 27, Nancy 24. They divorced later that year, married 1960-65. He was 22, she 19 in 1960 if married before June 8, her 20th; he on Aug. 27. He is now 85, she 82 (Mar. 2023).
It wouldn't be safe to wander round any big city now from 10 pm to 3.30 am selling papers. Very enterprising tho of the paper girl.
Dorothy and Arlene's dresses timeless. Would love to have them. Tommy Sands, 😊
Tommy was in a 1965 episode of "Bonanza." I actually thought he was quite good.
Nancy Sinatra was married to Tommy Sands 1960-65. They both are still around as of 11/14/24.

Nancy Sinatra's father despised Dorothy Kilgallen. Glad to see that they greeted each other cordially at the conclusion of the show.
he probably had good reason, shes a uppity little twit.

Bennett Cerf's "Well, if they didn't go to school with Tony Randall, they can't be Lunt and Fontanne" (18:20) elicited as much of a roar from this viewer as it did from Tony Randall! The "pre-eminent Broadway acting couple of American history" (Wikipedia) was born a generation before Tony was.
romeman01
Thanks for the info. I was not familiar enough with who they were to get the joke at all, and actually thought Bennett was serious. I wonder who Tony really was thinking of.
Were they (Lunt and Fontanne) ever on WML?
To my knowledge Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne never appeared on this program (they do not appear in the directory that I usually consult), but they have been immortalized on TH-cam here Helen Hayes, Alfred Lunt, Lynn Fontanne, and Katharine Hepburn and here Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne with German Shepherd . This, by the way, I just discovered www.tenchimneys.org/about/about-lynn-alfred ; running quickly down the page and scanning the boxed quotes, it is astonishing to see how highly regarded they were by their peers as actors and as human beings. Astonishing is not strong enough ... it is dumbfounding.
Joe Postove
No, they weren't. For some reason I also thought I had seen them on an earlier episode, but I must be mixing them up with another duo. I checked both Gil Fates' appendix of mystery guests and IMDb, and they do not seem to have ever appeared on WML.
SaveThe TPC I wonder if Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn were ever on?
The revolving door was like a cunning riddle which fooled the panel. It brought up the interesting question of what defines a machine - does a machine for example have to contain an engine or motor? I'd say no because a bicycle is a machine without either. This show is light entertainment but often delves deeper than that whilst giving an authentic taste of attitudes (particularly towards working women) and of humour (Bennet's laborious puns for example) in those past decades. Well worth watching.
A machine technically moves an object through space using force. So a lever is the simplest of machines; the revolving door is techincally a lever applied sideways. Pushing on the far end makes the center move, and allows passage through the doorway without breaking the air seal. So, yes, a revolving door should have been categorized as a machine.
Nancy Sinatra would file for divorce from Tommy Sands a little more than four months after this appearance, and the divorce would be finalized July 28. Sands claimed the divorce got him blackballed in Hollywood, and he only had one one movie acting appearance afterward (The Violent Ones, 1967), three appearances on Hawaii 5-O (1968-1976), and one on The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries (1978).
Yes, it definitely was Frank who blackballed Sands.
Who knows if he would've been a great singer or actor, but I saw his acting performances and he wasn't bad, and he was a decent singer, so he definitely would've gone a bit further if not for sinatra
@@martinwoyzeck2634
yeah, everyone who "wasnt bad" and "decent" go on to be big stars. 🙄
"My lover stands on Tommy Sands..." (Bobby Darin)
When I was a Baby, Bobby Darin lived 2 doors over from our house in New jersey with his Sister who was actually his Mother and his Grandmother who he thought was his Mother. If you ever heard or hear the Song "Marlena" by Frankie Valli & the 4 Seasons, Marlena live right next door to us. just thought I'd throw that out there.
@@Musician-r5q This is the same family dynamic as Jack Nicholson. His "sister" June was his biological mother and his "mother" Ethel May Nicholson, was actually his grandmother. He was in his thirties when he found out. Some sources have his uncle, Shorty Smith, telling him on his deathbed. Others have a reporter contacting him.
@@Musician-r5q Thanks for sharing, have almost of full collection of Lp's by Darin, and amazing talent. Left us way too soon.

@Musician-Songwriter Recall one of the many bios I've read about Bobby, how astonished and really pissed off he was when he found out who his real mother and sister were....think he made the comment my whole life has been a lie...also found out he was a very good chess player and loved the game...and was planning on bringing the top players in the world to Vegas for the richest tournament in history...sadly his death ended this event.
To PEG IRISH-also in 1957 SAL MINIO,TAB HUNTER were climbing the TOP POP SONG CHARTS as well as TOMMY SANDS! I think MINIOS song was titled 'KEEP A MOVIN'(in my direction) and TAB HUNTERS was 'YOUNG LOVE' The TEEN IDOL YEARS were now quickly under way and would blossom in full by 1963 and then break down tru 1966.
20:32: President Johnson also cut into "The Ed Sullivan Show" on Sunday night, Oct. 18, 1964, which prompted Sullivan to signal Jackie Mason to speed up his routine, leading to Mason's infamous finger gesture.
Tony dies one happy much older man that married an younger woman and had 2 children and he quoted my man my age with young children he was so.hapoy he said. Love Tony in all his movies such a nice person in real life as well.
They were just months away from the end of their five year marriage and Tommy's career was immediately in the toilet and Nancy's father supposedly had 'nothing to do with it'.
And a few months later, Nancy Sinatra and Tommy Sands would divorce. It's always interesting watching these and seeing what came of some of these people and their relationships.
merrida - And after their divorce, Frank Sinatra made sure that Sands never worked again as a singer or actor. Hence, he opened a nightclub in Hawaii
@@martinwoyzeck2634 vindictive man
Since that 2-28/1965 installment aired,newspapers are currently recyclable.
1896 was when the first major recycling center for newspaper started in New York City. It was started by the Benedetto family.
Why would President Johnson speak to the nation at 10:55 ET on a Sunday night?Jeepers! Maybe to get the whole country in prime time. I wonder they would work it out on the coast? Would Ed Sullivan give up 5 minutes of his time?
From the "Feb 28, 1965" daily listings: "The United States and South Vietnam announced that sustained bombing of North Vietnam, Operation Rolling Thunder, would begin during the coming week."
@@dellaroux Yeah, that's what I figured it was about; that's about the time I remember that 💩 ramping up. I was like 8 then; every evening, every newscast, the war report. X amount of soldiers died today. Years of that. People think kids aren't affected by that; wrong! I was continually saddened hearing about young boys getting killed over there. Later, hearing about the Viet Namese civilians being massacred. I was lucky I didn't turn 17 until it finally ended. Anyway, any war veterans out there, thank you for your service; we think about you, even the little kids.
It never ceases to amaze me how hopeless Tony Randall is in identifying the voices of mystery guests!
You know the hairdressers of Sue Murphy and Nancy Sinatra could be identical twins.
soulierinvestments
Check out David Von Pein's hilarious post on that subject, further up on this page! :D
they both look like men too
Similar wigs?
Frank threw him out of the country after Nancy divorced him and told him never to come back. I don't know when Sands returned
Nancy Sinatra also sang the title track to the 5th official James Bond film "You Only Live Twice" (1967).
I do not know a single person who hates the title track to that film. Everywhere I have read, there have been nothing but good comments about the song, and Nancy's performance on it.
I thought the title track to "Goldfinger" performed by Shirley Bassey would be the most beloved James Bond theme ever, but apparently not.
For me, either YOLT or On Her Majesty's Secret Service would have to be considered the "ultimate" James Bond movie. Sorry Sean. :-)
Chris Barat OHMSS is one of my favorite James Bond! :-)
Listening to it after some years, I had forgotten just how lovely it was. It is hard to choose between this and the Theme from "Goldfinger". I'll just have to go with my gut on this one and stay with Goldfinger for now. Stay tuned for any changes.
Two of my favourites from Nancy were "Sugartown" and another tune she did with Lee Hazlewood called "Some Velvet Morning". The '60s were filled with great music and Nancy's contributions to the scene still shine.
Since today (2/20/19) happens to be Sidney Poitier's 92nd birthday, I'll speculate that if the #1 Hit title song, "To Sir With Love" had come out 1 or 2 years before YOLT, Bond producers might have hired Lulu instead, due to her Brit connection. My favorite 007 titles to sing are those by Tom Jones, Garbage and Adele.
According to Wikipedia "In 1960, Sands married Nancy Sinatra, from whom he was divorced in 1965. At that point in his career, Frank Sinatra had him "blacklisted" in the entertainment industry." Does anyone know about that, how true it is, and if Frank still had that kind of pull in 1965? Tommy is alive, 77 years old, and it appears that indeed he did not do much after the 60's.
I saw that too. Wow. The other interesting bit of trivia from that article is that he co-sang the opening theme from the original Parent Trap movie. That's some legacy!
Joe Postove What do you mean didn't do much? He ran a hot dog stand!
+Joe Postove , did you look this information up on Wikipedia because I did. From all indications, Tommy Sands' film career was spotty to say the least. By the way, have you seen any of the films Tommy Sands was in? Perhaps he wasn't that talented. : /
I think he was a flash in the pan (a failure after a brief and showy start, or momentary sensation of no real importance). I don't remember where I got the information, Linda, it may have very well have been Wiki. Perhaps he makes his living on the oldies circuit (though one has to doubt how well he would do even there) or maybe Frank threw him some cash to go away.
Joe Postove Nancy asked him to call her on Geraldo Rivera's show so apparently she's not holding a grudge. And that's after he said she was a love child. My guess is that Frank didn't do anything to him. I think the way it works in Hollywood is that if somebody doesn't something FOR you, you've had it.
When the revolving door guy said he was from Evansville, Indiana I was sure the panel would jump all over Purdue University as a connection.
Unfortunately for me, 'What's My Line?", aired on CBS. At the time, my hometown had only one television station, and it was an NBC affiliate.
What speech did President LBJ give on February 28, 1965 that the show had to end earlier? I did a search, but not seeing anything. I am guessing it had to do with Vietnam, but not sure.
I was wondering the same thing.
To MR.GREENJEANS it is possible SANDS suit was of a teal color:BLUE with a shine of greenish/GREEN with a shine of blueish-because DALY tells SANDS not to worry because SPRING is around the corner!!
Can you imagine being concerned about wearing a light suit?
Strict dress codes were adhered to by everyone at that time. Nancy was quite right to bring it up & let Tommy explain. Neither would’ve wanted Tommy to have appeared gauche by ignoring the fashion “rules” of the time.
Johnson anounced the start of Operation Rolling Thunder, an expanded bombing campaign against North Vietnam.
Not on this after show announcement he didn't, according to further up the thread.
Miss Murphy, the "Newsboy".
Made me think of a pop group, who formed in the 1980's, from memory, and is still getting around, named the "Newsboys".
Miss Murphy was a young lady, and for the record "The Newsboys" are now older men.
Strange days.
Sinatra and Sands were divorced five months after this broadcast.
Looked up the marriage history of Sinatra and Sands... married in '60, divorced the same year as this program, 1965
Frank Sinatra had Tommy Sands blacklisted!

Well, that didn't last long. A week after being absent due to the "executive flu", Dorothy is back. They did two shows that night (the one they did before aired on August 1).
What do you mean executive flu?
@@classiqueliberal8576 when Dorothy was out the previous week, this was the diagnosis that John provided

A.k.a., the "Irish flu".
There they are. Nancy's father feuded with Dorothy. Yet -- they met here. They shook hands. They exchanged brief pleasantries. Nowadays, TV producers would do that kind of booking and hope that someone would pick up a chair and crack it over the other for the sake of big ratings.
Just because Frank Sinatra hated Dorothy, his daughter was not supposed to feel the same.
I was a teenager in the 60s. What was the feud between Frank and Dorothy about?
@@clffliese26 She wrote about his taste in women in her column, calling some “tawdry”, I believe. I’ll bet it’s on the internet.

Is it just me, or does the first guest bear more than a passing resemblance to Nancy Sinatra?
yes, they look like the same dude
While Elvis was most girl’s idols Tommy Sands was mine.
I love him too. He was so handsome and so talented and so underrated.
Miss Murphy looks a little like Nancy
Mr and Mrs Sands separated that year after being married for 5 years
Nancy is still alive.
May be dead wrong here, but I think a newspaper with its ink on paper is quite like a photograph with its solutions that leave the image on its paper and not like an automobile at all. A Daly error?
Not a very long marriage. Sands' basically career ended once he divorced Nancy (some say Frank had a hand in his demise as a popular singer.)
Mr. Sands might have apologized for his suit, but it held up well and if he had wanted to, he could have found a bow tie to wear with it. Movie stars normally wouldn’t bring their entire wardrobe with them to a location shoot even if they were doing something else after a day’s shoot.
President Johnson made a "Statement by the President on the Neighborhood Youth Corps." February 28, 1965 If this is what is going on . . . . why Sunday at almost 11 p.m. on the east coast.?? Did the president assume that since he went to bed around 2 am that everyone else did the same?
soulierinvestments
You're right. That does seem a very odd time for the president to give a non-emergency televised speech to the country -- especially one relating to youth! Could he perhaps have been speaking from an event on the West Coast?
Here's the text: www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=27444. Doesn't seem like much of a speech, does it? Seems more like just a written statement. There must have been something else... but I can't find any other reference to any speech made by LBJ on Feb. 28, 1965. That date is notably absent from the list of speeches at the same website: www.presidency.ucsb.edu/medialist.php?presid=36.
From www.tv.com:
"The address by President Johnson announced the opening of the 1965 American Red Cross Campaign. On January 28, 1965, LBJ designated the month of March 1965 as Red Cross Month. (Proclamation 3636; 30 F.R. 1109; 3 CFR, 1965 Supp.) His remarks were filmed and recorded in advance for broadcast to the three major networks (ABC, NBC & CBS) immediately preceding local stations' late night newscasts. - drexelgal"
Mystery solved. Good work. . . . . 10:55 p.m. ET??
Good work, indeed, Johan Bengtsson!
16:25 Tommy & Nancy are still alive and kicking, however their marriage is not. They got a divorce 5 months after being on this show.
With the mystery guests I do note the panel seems to guess they out pretty quickly. And the only reason I think they do is because I suppose being that the show is in New York. I believe the panel, and especially Kilgallen and Francis who seems to guess correctly most of the time read up on what entertainers are coming or are in New York at the time, put 2 and 2 together and .. bingo. They just seem to get these folks to fast in my opinion. Any theories out there anyone on how they seem to guess these folks so fast?
That is certainly one reason. In addition, the panelists often recognized the voices of the mystery guests, and occasionally said so.
@16:50...At first sight l thought that was Frankie Avalon.
The FIRST one they disguised their voices, but then they went to their normal voices and they STILL didn't get it!
Nancy Sinatra is so cute!❤️😁
Tommy and Nancy divorced in 1965, the same year as this episode.
Tommy Sands was handsome!
First mystery guests who didn’t even try to disguise their voices (and singers, no less).
Yes, it's very irritating when hey do that. Makes it too easy on the panel. IMO only an insecure guest would do this. Like it might be embarrassing to them if they weren't "discovered" by the panel so they make sure that the questioners find them out.
Vince,,,,Singers ???? Are you kidding,,,
The applause for Tommy and Nancy wasn't too enthusiastic.
Didn't Dorothy and Frank have a fued over her shading him in her column? Wonder how that impacted her interacting with his daughter
He sing Teenager crush 1957 and she sing These Boots are made for Walking 1966
Sad what happened between Nancy and Tom
Tom, Tom, The Piper's son!
What does “a determined left-handed manner about you” mean?
Did the first contestant write her name as Suå Murphy? They do say her name like "Suo" and å is a Swedish o.
No: She wrote her name as "Suzi Murphy." But the way that she merged the "z" with the "i" made it look like an "a" to John Charles Daly.
Does anyone know if the first contestant ever succeeded as an actress? The name sounds familiar.
Some years ago, there was some discussion of this on a "stand-alone" clip of this segment. (This was long before Gary began assembling his rich treasure trove of complete episodes; in fact, I think it was during the era in which TH-cam's time limit for the length of clips posted was either 10 or 15 or 20 minutes.) I think that Suzi Murphy wound up as either a bartender at or the proprietress of one of New York City's lesbian bars.

So thats why you never heard of him
@@martinwoyzeck2634 ouch
The first contestant could have been a Nancy Sinatra imitator.
The newsboy contestant looked a lot like Nancy
I think Dorothy gave out a pretty fair clue by asking a question and then disqualifying herself. There should be some standard way to do what Dorothy did without giving out clues. Hmmm. The young lady carries her product from place to place AND Dorothy is a newspaper woman. Wheels are turning.
Joe Postove
But she didn't sell Dorothy's paper. I think it's more likely Dorothy knew her from her after-hours "clubbing" activities than through her own newspaper work.
But the other panelists only heard that Dorothy was quitting the game, in addition to the details about her carrying her product from place to place. I don't think it mattered at that point or was known what time of day she worked. I think.
Joe Postove
Well, it could be that Arlene got so close to guessing the product because she was thinking along the same lines you are. The funny thing is that it would be pure coincidence even if that's true, though, because Dorothy would be just as likely to have seen her if she was going around to different places selling gum and candy, or any other product, for that matter.
Hmmm she disqualified her self because she recognised the guest! well US sure are have become poorer in quality sense by losing her!
They had to know if you were married if female only.😮
That was so they knew whether to call you Miss or Mrs, to say your name.
I like this show, but it baffles me why these contestants come from all over the USA to win $50! Who pays for travel expenses?
Does a revolving door, as a piece of furniture, itself have moving parts? I though the whole thing just went around and around.
Joe Postove
I would imagine that the spinning part and the frame in which it spins have to be sold as a unit.
I guess you're right.
Did Frank blame Tommy for the divorce because it does take two to tango and if hs career tanked I think that was very small of Frank who should have been a better man about it
Well pretty obvious how Frank felt. He had Sands blackballed, to never work in the industry again. Sands was doing fine both as singer and actor.
His career didn't 'tank' , Sinatra ended it
