Cass Elliot was so lovely. I am so sorry she passed at such a young age leaving a young child behind motherless. Bless her.
One of the truly great voices that was silenced much too soon.
She died from obesity sadly. Very sad. Extremely sad.
Cass was a great talent. I still miss her.
Ham butties
Cass was NOT a great talent.
She was an ok singer. More charismatic than great. She only sang in her middle range. She wasn’t great live often off pitch trying so hard to stay in her throat voice in middle range.
@@RJS1974 she was shit.
@@johnsecunda9535 😆😆😆😆
she would’ve totally KILLED it on SNL omg she was so funny and just a fun person in general
Cass did make an appearance on the Carol Burnette Show around 1973 and was terrific !
@@770WT omg I’ll have to look for it!!
Totally agree with you. Can you imagine her doing the Coffee Talk skit with Mike Meyers/Linda Richman? She would have destroyed.
@@professionalwallflower3679 omg that’d be amazing 😭
Aw, just a wonderfully bright and witty lady - who also happened to have one of the most lovely singing voices of her era. RIP doll!
It's obvious that Soupy adored Cass.
They all did!
What an absolutely beautiful lady she was and an incredible singer as well PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!
One of the greatest voices ever
As a panelist, I miss Dorothy, what an amazing story. Cass of course was amazing too, a unique voice. I still watch the original WML, love it and that they include the commercials!
I love Cass's look here, so pretty.
Cass Elliott is similar to Mae West, her wit, her flirtatious innuendos, both trail blazer women .. love em both, don't you agree with my similarity?
She definitely has those Mae West-esque one-liners, for sure.
She was flirty 😂❤
So classy when Cass walks on to the set.
It's always a gas when Mama Cass shows up.
So great to see Cass Elliot here. Thank you so much for posting this episode 👍
Her voice had my babies bouncing in my belly each time I played her. Gone too soon
I forgot how much I loved this show. BRING SOMETHING LIKE IT BACK!!!! "Television" with intelligent (and funny) discourse
This is a re-creation. The challenge is to find refined and articulate participants.
Cass was adorable and I loved her singing!
THANK YOU for posting...this Cass Elliot fan has been dying to see this!
Thanks for sharing, she was such a Nice person, great voice bud sadly gone too zoon. Rip Cas ❤️🙏
Two of the panel are still around! Good for them and us!
Just superb class and respect all the way from a time that we will never ever see again ever PERIOD!!!!!
Great, I loved Cass Elliot
Mr. Elsner Born May 20, 1923, in Chicago, he died Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2008, at home. A very nice man.
She was awesome! ❤
As "square" of a show as "What's My Line" was by the late '60s-early '70s, it did make an effort to include big, current stars of the day that weren't necessarily catering to the show's demographics. And Wally Bruner was a terrific host; very conversational and engaging of both the panel and the contestants.
Worth remembering: "What's My Line" celebrated people of relatively humble/mundane occupations right alongside the rich and famous. This was in an era when there was genuine human interest in the ordinary person, as opposed to today's occupation with fame.
I never noticed Cass had beautiful legs
Yes, just commented on that above.
Yea, I noticed her legs too. She did dance,ya know. For all people it is hurtful whenever some jerk says mean words that haunt. My looks and body let me know just how ugly people can be.
A kind word or a smile is FREE. No need to be cheap or stingy.
Lol!
Soupy knew right away it was Cass with the records question .
Only Gawn and Anita are still with us
I first heard of/saw Mama Cass in "H R Pufnstuf" when it was first out at the drive-in. My mom pointed her out like she was someone special. Good times.
She was very special!
Love Cass Elliot's shoes!!!!
She has lovely legs, didn't she?
She looks like Divine in her cha-cha heels!
@@OMG_BeCkY Seriously , I was gonna say , with that too-black wig and the shoes ...DIVINE !
Cass is my favorite singer.
Carylin Lane the cook book writer was so right. Nutrition is the right way to live pregnant or not. bravo her .
Cass could talk to me southern all day and all night!
Cass looks quite pretty here. Loved her.
The hair is WAY too dark.
The old format was much better.
She had a great voice!
The people of this time had so much class and respect for others. If only people acted this way now. .😢
she was multi talented
I love how they said you would be in a couple/married to be pregnant and also Mamacass said she didn't sing in a band.
She didn't sing in a band at the time. The Mamas and Papas were only together for about 3 years.
Arlene is the most fascinating for how she became more modern looking as time went on.
However, does anyone get the feeling she’s either uncomfortable with the show by now and/or feels like she has to sometimes “teach” the other panelists how to respond appropriately?
She always seemed like a phoney snob to me.
Most certainly. I'm not going to say she's going through the motions or anything like that, but clearly she is NOT HAVING FUN with the other panelists. She is fulfilling an obligation, and while being extremely gracious to them, clearly does not have the warmth to or from them as was obviously expressed in the old show.
Needs Dorothy Kilgallen. Love Cass Elliot!
She was dead
Bennett said in an interview that Dorothy was a reporter first and a panel member second. Bennett, Arlene and John Daly didn’t have personal conversations around her. Dorothy would write about their comments, told in confidence, in her newspaper column.
@@OMG_BeCkY um, yeah. I’m well aware of that
@@bookwoman53 she was fun to watch at any rate.
John Lennon said his favorite cover that anyone ever did of his songs was the M&P's version of I Call Your Name, on which Cass sang lead.
I was 10,when this Aire. Did See it? Soupy Sales so cute, and funny. Good to see Mama Cass Elliot. What a talent.
Always LOVED Cass, such a great singer!!! She died on my 24th Birthday and I was very upset that day
So damn good!
To Cass at 19:40 "They tell me one of your big ambitions in life is to meet John Lennon"
I met a lady who was a big Mama Cass fan. She had that choking in her voice when she mentioned missing her!
She is striking, the cook book writer
Cass Elliot great lady Rest In Peace
I love her subtle put-down of Yoko Ono.
Not so subtle -- it was fairly upfront. It speaks to Yoko's unpopularity that Cass would say this without any qualms.
I watched this episode because of Mama
The syndicated version of WML we see here was so poorly directed and conceived. The celebrity segments were always rushed to make way for the stupid little bits in between. They should have brought back Cass after the commercial and ditched the letters to the panelists.
16:15 Ellen Naomi Cohen (Cass Elliot) 1941-1974. She died in London after having performed a successful two week stint at the Palladium. Keith Moon died in the same room a few years later, also at 32. 18:15 "Do you sing in a group?" "No" Well that's misleading. She was most well known as being in the Mamas and the Papas. Even though they "broke up" and she was a solo artist they did record an album the following year 1971.
NO YOU DID NOT LISTEN QUESTION WAS "DO YOU SING IN A GROUP" NOT HAVE YOU SUNG IN A GROUP. YOU PROBABLY DID NOT LISTEN IN SCHOOL EITHER.
At least I learned how to use lower case and punctuation.
@@zenarcade64 The host of the show - SHOULD have chimed in "Well, not any more she's not". The old host used to clarify some vague answers. That said ; Soupy seems ENTHRALLED with her .
I miss MC so much. Such a shame she checked out so early and at 32. SMFH!!
Cass is faded here 🤣🤣 I love you Cass 💜
Soupy Sales, my friend.
Really Love This Show
I love Cass’s dress here
Sadly, Mama Cass Elliot was only 32 when she died of a heart attack.
Lost her much too soon
She was part of a group call The Mamas & the Papas so she did sing with other people. She should have answered the question about whether she sings alone or with other people by saying: at one time I did.
But that's not a yes or no. By 1970 she was alone, so the answer was technically the right one.
@@mikehalterman1615 affirmative, yet her notoriety was by and through The Mamas & the Papas. I feel that on the original series mr. Daly would have given a conditional answer or side note to the whole question to be fair.
@@grosbeak6130 The host should have pointed out "She WAS in a group but they broke up". The older hosts to this show used to clarify the vague answers.
Such a great singer either with the Mamas and Papa's and alone. Gone too soon.
Great legs Cass!
Arlene Francis is the only witty panel member left. That show was so much better in the 50’s.
RIP Cass Elliot. RIP 'What's My Line"
whereas i know John Charles Daly set a mighty high bar..... even so, Wally leaves a lot to be desired.
Arlene was so smart and always guess the line. A wonderful and inteligent lady.
Very much so. But it's most certainly a case of pearls before swine here.
I’m not convinced soupy isn’t cheating. He knows too much.
I thought Arlene had it.(parking meter).
Mama Cass What A Beautiful Lady. Gone Too Soon.
The problem with the syndicated show is they never the Mystery Guest rounds go on like the original series! The contestants just don't have any time to really work at it!
"Unfortunately Yoko Ono was there at the time." "Thats was a shame!"
She looked great... show was taped as the manson family were about to begin.
This was different than the 50s version, check the Grovey clothes and sideburns
19:00 she died of a heart attack at 32 in 1974.
Buzzr presently airs the color episodes of "WML"-However,they've edited out the introductions of the various panelists.
Ellen Naomi Cohen (September 19, 1941 - July 29, 1974), known professionally as Mama Cass and later on as Cass Elliot
I just realized that Gawn Grainger is married to Zoe Wannamaker. She's one of my favorite actresses.
Anita Gillette: Are you sorta small?
She looks lovely in that pant suit
She said she sang alone not in a group. I guess they had probably split up as a group by then.
That's true. 😊
Both the original and this show were produced by the same man - Gil Fates. He said in his book that he was going to make time for the host to talk to the mystery guest, something Daly rarely did in the original show.
Hey Chad. Personal preference: the CBS series (1950 - 1967) or the syndicated series (1968 - 1975) of Whats My Line
The original. The syndicated one breezes through the actual game too quickly.
I get it was the 70s, but I liked the class of the original show too.
@@thechadmosher It's strange that Cass never mentioned the Mama's and the Papa's .
@@thechadmosher Give me the 70's version. I like the more casual look and feel and I am willing to give up a little game play sometimes to see some of the actual lines done or seen on stage. Larry Blyden as host made this version perfect.
@@RedNekLvr22 We lost Larry Blyden too soon . He would made a great late night talk show host .
she was a part of a group- the mamas and papas...that should have been yes, not no...
I thought she might say: "No, but I used to be". 😊
Agreed. And when she said she had her own show - it was only a special/pilot.
I can’t be the only one who feels Gerard Butler could play Soupy Sales in a Biopic
I'm pretty sure that Arlene knew the answer about the parking meter when Wally all but gave away the answer, but she played along to let the game go another round. I m trying to think of any other game show where the host had his full name displayed at the podium, and I can't think of any. I am wondering if Wally had that specified in his contract since he was known as a journalist on network news, but was largely unknown in the world of games shows as far as I know.
I miss John Daly
The company made the meters 'theft-proof', but the NY Parking Violations Bureau members stole hundreds of thousands of dollars
after the coins were collected.
She had some pretty little legs!
18:16 Too bad nobody thought to follow that up by asking if she was EVER in a group.
I agree. Stupid panel and Host.
John Daly would be rolling his eyes at this Wally Bruner…sorry to say but my goodness he was a terrible host.
They give half away at the start.
It is just not the same in color..
Are you sort of small?
Arlene was needed to retain the programs character.
All royal titles and then the English guy uses "The First Lady". ISWYDT
a gorgeous woman!
amazing calves btw - not to be rude, but great legs!
get it, cass!
I’m not sure why she darkened her hair like that.
Married couple (?).......yeah, right🤔😒🥴
I think the original WML with John Daly was much better.
So do most people.
Wally Bruner says cookbook at first, it is like giving it away.
The best part of the show was the mystery guest, but the way they set up this series, it was minimized for panel participation shenanigans.
This is still very entertaining. I like they extra things they do eg testi g things out. It is a point of difference from the original. However, it's not as hilarious as the original could be.
Oh I betcha I can get into it with a sledge hammer
The second guest looks like Joe Pesci's Dad. LOL
