A commenter said he recently played Barrie the 'St James Infirmary' number from that show, with Fred and Jonah Jones. She loved it but said she had never seen it before!
Trivia about Barrie Chase: She married a doctor and left show biz in 1972. She's still alive and has one child. We have all seen her in a movie, but didn't know who she was. She was the hot bikini chick dancing with Dick Shawn in "Mad, Mad, Mad World" when the phone rang. She's the last surviving member of that movie's cast and will be age 90 in 2 years.
No. How do you know that, stupid? You don't seem to understand 'speech act theory' at all. So why are you being so disrespectful and presumptuous online yourself? @@IsraelNowIsraelForever
I saw Barrie Chase on a sixth-season BONANZA episode in 1965. She played a saloon dancer who learns the ballet from a former ballet dancer played by Warren Stevens. Every young person who dreams of becoming a ballet dancer needs to see that episode! I never became a ballerina, but I do love to watch the ballet, and that episode put Barrie Chase on the map for me.
A delightful episode. I've been watching Bonanza episodes when I am not watching some other old show (like What's My Line?) and I am up to the 9th season now. I remember that episode being thoroughly enjoyable and worth viewing. And Miss Chase was lovely in it.
Happy to hear this! She was such a graceful, poised dancer. Very gorgeous and confident. Dorothy always could crack a case. What a mind the lovely lady had.

I first heard of her in "Cape Fear," (62) in a cameo role which starred Gregory Peck, Mitchum, Telly Savalas in the suspense film redone with Robert DeNiro. Then I caught one of her Astaire specials in the mid-60s. I am convinced she was the smoothest dance partner Astaire had except for Adele, his sister.
He was outstanding as a late night talk show host in the late 1960s. I used to watch him more often than Johnny because his monologues were hilarious and his handling of guests was so good. Unfortunately, his show only lasted 2 or 3 years.

18:37 That title surrounding her face must make her wince . . . while justifiably proud of the work she did with Astaire, she remains ambivalent about it because she did a lot of other excellent work but all people want to ask her (understandably) is, "What was it like to dance with Fred Astaire?"

Four years down the road from your comment but I had to reply, hope you see it! White Christmas is my favorite movie musical but I had no idea that Doris was played by Barrie Chase. I didn't realize she went back that far and the blond hair really throws you off. The whole scene with her is one of my favorite non-musical parts of the movie. Favorite line - "I wish it would happen to ME!"
The last guest said he was from Portuguese East Africa but the official name of the country was, and is, Mozambique. Joey Bishop's last comment about the "guide can't find his way out" was hysterical.
+Michael Danello It was Portuguese East Africa from March 1, 1498 to June 25, 1975. As the culmination of a war for independence waged beginning in September 1964, Mozambique gained its independence on that date. But when this program aired, it was still a colony firmly in the control of Portugal. I knew someone who was born in Portuguese East Africa of Portuguese descent. His family's first move in response to the end of the war was to move to Brazil. Sometime later they emigrated to the U.S.
I've watched hundreds of these shows with so much enjoyment. I was lucky enough to grow up watching them, but one thing you notice is that many of the jobs no longer exist, or have been automated. I'm sure that gold ingots are now made to an exacting degree by machines.

As to Astaire's dancing partners -- Ginger Rogers or Cyd Charisse always comes to mind. However, Barrie Chase worked with him fairly regularly from 1958 to as late as 1966 -- when they appeared together on a Hollywood Palace episode. Great and talented dancer -- pretty, too. The big Astaire dancing specials happened on NBC TV in 1958, 1959 and 1961. Incidentally the 1958 Astaire-Chase special is the second oldest surviving color videotape. President Eisenhower at the 1958 opening ceremony of the then new NBC TV color studio in Washington DC is the oldest.
The two of them appeared a couple of times on Hollywood Palace. In January 1966, the two of them danced on HP a memorable routine to "Pussy Cat" -- in color.
Interesting that Joey Bishop called Barrie Chase out on sounding not entirely pleased to be the Mystery Guest while he was blindfolded. Her smile as she answered the questions would seem to indicate that she was in good humor, but the sometimes sharp, sometimes flat tone of her voice obviously gave off a negative vibe. Reading up on Ms. Chase, she apparently had quite a reputation for being aloof and "difficult" -- I wonder how much was actual bad behavior, and how much was shyness (she seems decidedly less at ease after the panel removes their blindfolds and she must engage in small talk with Daly), as well as a lack of elocution training affecting her ability to modulate her voice and cultivate a pleasant speaking manner -- some people just SOUND "nasty," even when they don't intend to.
I read your thoughts above and did a bit of looking myself and found this: www.glamourgirlsofthesilverscreen.com/show/639/Barrie+Chase/index.html I think you may be right. Being a public person doesn't always bring out the best in us. A lifetime has passed between 1961 and today, 2019. She retired from show business in 1972. I hope she found happiness in these years. Barrie Chase is still with us but all of our days a numbered.
"some people just SOUND "nasty," even when they don't intend to." - I have experienced this quite a bit. I have had people ask me why am I talking to them in an "abrasive" way. I just answer the question asked. I believe since I speak seven languages, at various levels/degrees and have seven streams of income so that I am able to do what I want to do wheneven I want to, I sense that people, in general, are just jealous of what I have accomplised in my life as they ALL may kiss my derriere. P.S. If you are BORN poor that is NOT your fault, BUT should you DIE poor, that definitely IS your fault. In the 1987 movie Wall Street, Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko gave an insightful speech where he said, "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good." I LOVE this movie!
Perhaps so; but I'm not sure how accurate some of that "aloofness" of which You Speak is accurate.. .... the tone - ... She's a Mystery Guest (!)🐥 Lol. So (chances are) she's gonna vary up the way and mannerisms therewith of which she answers.. ... if You'd like I can go further (and farther). ..
*I'd Like to add; after (Unfortunately) reading further some of this completely uncalled for rudeness found therein in this post - ... would you be smooth talkin' and chill as a bear cub in a jacuzzi in September if -- say You met Vincent Price or (say) Maureen O'Hara ? (For the Very first time,?)... 🤔😐😐😐 Maybe a Little Class and Respect. John Daly; take him, for example. .
I had to look up who this "mystery guest" lady was, as she appeared to be so stunning. Once I got wind of her credits, I realized she had made a great impression on me in the past, having caused me to look her up way back when. (Obviously, the name did not register.) I first looked her up after having watched the original _Cape Fear_ ; the beauty who was Robert Mitchum's victim. It was then that I had realized she also had briefly played another part that had made me take notice, and that was Dick Shawn's "go-go" pal from _It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World._
Again! One more African hunting guide! Throughout the years of this show's run this "line" has popped up on more than occasion. The hunting and killing of animals in their native habitat for sport, so called recreation, has thankfully become recognized in the 21st century for what it is. Inhumane and unconscionable.
Gold has increased by about 42 times since 1961. But you would have been better off paying attention to the woman who lectured on the stock market. The Dow has increased by almost exactly the same as gold in that period (in part because the price was fixed without regard to market forces for decades), but if you collected the dividends and reinvested them, you would have done much better in the stock market than in gold bars even if it had been legal to own them at that time

For those of us that until seeing this never heard of Barrie Chase here"s a link to a video with she and Fred Astaire from 1966, th-cam.com/video/l9FtFhY-mZw/w-d-xo.html (speaking for myself I like girls that look like boys) She was born in 1933 is 86 and at the moment still among us.
One of the commentators had mentioned about Ms. Chase as being the last surviving actor of Its a mad world movie of 1963. It got me thinking how many of its players survived to the 21th century . Some of the more notable players that made it to this century : Berle , Caesar ,Hackett , Rooney , Winters , Adams , Provine , Falk , Freberg , Knotts , Kaplan , Lewis , Norton , Stang, Lane , Rhue , and AA actor Nick Stewart .
i recently found martin's tony award speech online, and his shout out to arlene was the sweetest! here's the link: www.dailymotion.com/video/x1ej1wz_tony-awards-1961_people and go to around 28:57 he's walking up to accept his award.
Lorna Badeo That's fantastic! Martin got a HUGE ovation for being the winner. I ended up watching quite a bit of this video and this is the way awards shows should be run. You announce the winner, they come up and don't say much more than "thank you" and they move on to the next award. Thanks for posting!
Lorna Badeo- He said the Tony was the best prize he'd gotten since Arlene married him. Even better than their son? I bet Peter Gabel didn't think it was 'the sweetest'.
Gold bricks are usually 400 troy oz; as 12 troy oz.=1 troy lb, the brick would weigh ~ 33 1/3 troy lb. As 1 troy oz. =1.09714 regular oz., it would weigh about 27.43 lb. In any case no where near the 37 lb. he claims.
Ms. Chase was noted for sharing the stage with Astaire on those specials . I consider her in a trio of dancers / small parts players at the time with Sylvia Lewis and Larri Thomas .
Their duets were indeed light-hearted and comic. Fred knew he would not look so good being smoochy with a woman half his age, just as he could hardly have got too romantic with his sister. Barrie had Adele's high spirits and ability to convey the fun of dancing as well as the technique and discipline to make you admire her. She gave Fred his Indian Summer, and we should be grateful.
The 1934 Gold Reserve Act raised the price that the U.S. Treasury would pay for gold from $20.67 to $35 per troy ounce, but it also fixed it there until U.S. citizens were free to own and trade gold in 1975. (Exceptions were numismatic coins and jewelry.)
I really appreciated the panelists who were naturally funny, whether they were on WML on a regular basis or came on as guest panelists. I include in this favored arena such funny and astute people as Arlene Francis (and absolutely so!), Joey Bishop, Tony Randall, and, we must not forget the highly-esteemed and just naturally funny comedian, Victor Borge. For those entertainers, and others who came and went but who also shared their own gifted styles and understanding for what could be wonderfully funny, humor flowed out of them with confident ease, evolving out of their quick wit, and intense and keen observations in response(s) to the immediacy of things spoken by others, or by more subtle--and even less subtle--happenings in their present conversations. I did not care for the guest panelists who possessed ostentatious personalities, defined as grandstanding, with their "attempts" to share their respective personal witticisms among the other panelists and/or guests before the cameras, as well as for the benefit of those at home, and in the studio audience. Guest panelists, like Robert Q. Lewis, often tried to be funny but often missed "the point," or the timing; or he/they just didn't produce funny or clever remarks; thus, it could create a somewhat rough repartee that involved the guest and whomever that panelist had chosen to "best" show off for. And I feel this also applied to, but with a "more toned down" approach, Bennett Cerf, who often thought he was funny with his puns, but because he thought he was funny, I didn't! Plus his puns were often a little bit on the "shakey" side of hitting their intended target, as they often "felt forced," so "we" ended up with a marginally funny reference that didn't take the intended humor very far before it rather quickly disappeared into the studio's stale air. ~drs (09/27/24)
My step-mother and Ms. Chase knew each other and had friends in common. My step-mother loved to tell the story of how someone had brought the most beautiful, delicious cake to a party. Ms. Chase, upon seeing it, threw it right in the garbage in front of everyone. My step-mother thought that was rude and selfish. If she didn't want cake, that was her choice, but she didn't have to decide for everyone else. My step-mother said she was a snooty, cold, selfish beast of woman, lol.
I'm a regular watcher of this, but with 400 episodes, how do you remember this stuff? I think I do good by naming most of the regular panelists, and I also know all the theme openings in sequence.
Aha, goldbricking isn't heard much today; it means appearing to work but not working and dates to the old hustle of selling a gold-plated metal bar as if it were real gold. So a person is a 'gold brick' who shines on the outside but isn't worth much.

LECTURES ON STOCK MARKET IN GRAND CENTRAL STATION 7:14 I loathe when he goes into that long winded snobbery talk. MAKES GOLD BRICKS FOR U.S. GOVERNMENT AFRICAN HUNTING GUIDE Had Barrie Chase been born seven to ten years earlier, she would have been a big star in movie musicals. When she was in her early twenties, the big splashy movie musicals were on their way out.
Was Barrie Chase really big star in 1961? I was looking her Wikipedia page and she doesn't seem to have had a remarkable career. By the way she will be 87 on October 20th, 2020 (Still with us on August 20th, 2020)
She had been lifted out of the chorus by Fred Astaire and Hermes Pan for their three television specials at NBC, 1958-60. They were the most lauded ever. Barrie partnered Fred in all of them and shone in his reflected light. She was on the cover of TV Guide for the first.
Barrie Chase...another member of the cast of It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World that appeared on WML, joining Jimmy Durante, Jonathan Winters, Phil Silvers, Arnold Stang and Sid Caesar .
@ I agree with Merrida 100. Almost invariably, when a contestant is a male from Africa, he is involved with big game hunting or, less often, bullfighting. Both professions are today considered despicable, although were acceptable back then. I remember being so disappointed to see Arlene (who is so charming and intelligent) almost drooling over a bullfighter on another episode. How sad indeed.
'Double speak, that is to say within the strictly applicable definition of saying one thing while meaning another, might be held to be an appropriate description in this case. Miss Francis?'

The culture of the '60s was very different from today's culture.Bullfighters would get no applause, and hunting guides who facilitated extinction of endangered species would get (at least) angry shouts. Today, the only hunters that deserve respect are those who cull invasive species, such as wild pigs and pythons.

*I'd Like to add; after (Unfortunately) reading further some of this completely uncalled for rudeness found therein in this post - ... would you be smooth talkin' and chill as a bear cub in a jacuzzi in September if -- say You met Vincent Price or (say) Maureen O'Hara ? (For the Very first time,?)... 🤔😐😐😐
Maybe a Little Class and Respect. John Daly; take him, for example. .
Barrie was a Knock-Out!
.It's.a.Mad.Mad.Mad.Mad.World.1963
I had to look up who this "mystery guest" lady was, as she appeared to be so stunning. Once I got wind of her credits, I realized she had made a great impression on me in the past, having caused me to look her up way back when. (Obviously, the name did not register.) I first looked her up after having watched the original _Cape Fear_ ; the beauty who was Robert Mitchum's victim. It was then that I had realized she also had briefly played another part that had made me take notice, and that was Dick Shawn's "go-go" pal from _It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World._
Again! One more African hunting guide! Throughout the years of this show's run this "line" has popped up on more than occasion. The hunting and killing of animals in their native habitat for sport, so called recreation, has thankfully become recognized in the 21st century for what it is. Inhumane and unconscionable.
Completely agree. When I saw his line, I stopped watching.
They definitely didn't think of animals the same way as many of us do now.
WOW in 1961 gold was only 35.00 a Oz. I just wish I knew then, what I know now.....
If you had bought it in 1961, the U.S. government would have confiscated it under the terms of the 1934 Gold Reserve Act.
Gold has increased by about 42 times since 1961. But you would have been better off paying attention to the woman who lectured on the stock market. The Dow has increased by almost exactly the same as gold in that period (in part because the price was fixed without regard to market forces for decades), but if you collected the dividends and reinvested them, you would have done much better in the stock market than in gold bars even if it had been legal to own them at that time
Four days after a tragic airplane crash in Belgium that killed the entire US figure skating team and entourage. Sabena 548.
and that bar of gold today would be worth half a million dollars.
Ill say it again Daly should have been a lawyer lol
No, we don’t need any of that type of lawyer

For those of us that until seeing this never heard of Barrie Chase here"s a link to a video with she and Fred Astaire from 1966,
th-cam.com/video/l9FtFhY-mZw/w-d-xo.html (speaking for myself I like girls that look like boys)
She was born in 1933 is 86 and at the moment still among us.
Androgynous women like her are the sexiest, I think. For example, check out the video "Denise Rutkowski - dancing sexy." Wow, that's a hot tomboy!
One of the commentators had mentioned about Ms. Chase as being the last surviving actor of Its a mad world movie of 1963. It got me thinking how many of its players survived to the 21th century . Some of the more notable players that made it to this century : Berle , Caesar ,Hackett , Rooney , Winters , Adams , Provine , Falk , Freberg , Knotts , Kaplan , Lewis , Norton , Stang, Lane , Rhue , and AA actor Nick Stewart .
Barrie Chase, wow! Her voice reminds me of Betsy Palmer's.
Reminds me of Whats My Crime on 101 Dalmatians movie. :)
Your right, Walt Disney's idea for that little segment came from this show.
Ms. Chase had great posture in those younger days .
Oh my GOD .....I want Arlene's dress!!!
She was the BEST in "Cape Fear"
“Yes, he’s a counterfeiter. “ 😂
Too bad Joey Bishop wasn't a regular guest on the panel
Barrie was quite a knock out.
Barrie Chase is one fine lady
JFK inaugural gala. Joey Bishop. Intense tragedy followed but you must remember those eternal if fleeting moments in life.
Ms George should have gotten more whistles and Daly is a kick when he go's into his long explanations.
I feel like the panel should have a bottle of dressing whenever Daly feeds them his word salad.
Once again I did not know who the MG is. Now I do.
Barry Chase always appeared to be "reluctant" when the spotlight was on her. To me, she resembles Mary Tyler Moore.
Martin Gabel would later win a Tony for his performance in "Big Fish, Little Fish."
i recently found martin's tony award speech online, and his shout out to arlene was the sweetest!
here's the link: www.dailymotion.com/video/x1ej1wz_tony-awards-1961_people and go to around 28:57 he's walking up to accept his award.
Lorna Badeo
Thanks for the link, that was awesome!
Dixie Alexander
you're very welcome! i was pretty impressed someone had it up on the internet!
Lorna Badeo
That's fantastic! Martin got a HUGE ovation for being the winner. I ended up watching quite a bit of this video and this is the way awards shows should be run. You announce the winner, they come up and don't say much more than "thank you" and they move on to the next award. Thanks for posting!
Lorna Badeo- He said the Tony was the best prize he'd gotten since Arlene married him. Even better than their son? I bet Peter Gabel didn't think it was 'the sweetest'.
How I miss those days when they were truly witty.
Gold bricks are usually 400 troy oz; as 12 troy oz.=1 troy lb, the brick would weigh ~ 33 1/3 troy lb. As 1 troy oz. =1.09714 regular oz., it would weigh about 27.43 lb. In any case no where near the 37 lb. he claims.
I would tend to believe someone who dealt with them on a daily business in 1961 to know of what he speaks.
Ms. Chase was noted for sharing the stage with Astaire on those specials . I consider her in a trio of dancers / small parts players at the time with Sylvia Lewis and Larri Thomas .
Martin Gabel was such a gentleman!
Barrie was Fred Astaire’s last dancing partner. Apparently she reminded him of his sister Adele.
Their duets were indeed light-hearted and comic. Fred knew he would not look so good being smoochy with a woman half his age, just as he could hardly have got too romantic with his sister. Barrie had Adele's high spirits and ability to convey the fun of dancing as well as the technique and discipline to make you admire her. She gave Fred his Indian Summer, and we should be grateful.
Gold in 1961 was $35 per ounce. Today it is $1350 per ounce.
The 1934 Gold Reserve Act raised the price that the U.S. Treasury would pay for gold from $20.67 to $35 per troy ounce, but it also fixed it there until U.S. citizens were free to own and trade gold in 1975. (Exceptions were numismatic coins and jewelry.)
I like Martin Gsbel but I miss Bennett Cerf
I really appreciated the panelists who were naturally funny, whether they were on WML on a regular basis or came on as guest panelists. I include in this favored arena such funny and astute people as Arlene Francis (and absolutely so!), Joey Bishop, Tony Randall, and, we must not forget the highly-esteemed and just naturally funny comedian, Victor Borge. For those entertainers, and others who came and went but who also shared their own gifted styles and understanding for what could be wonderfully funny, humor flowed out of them with confident ease, evolving out of their quick wit, and intense and keen observations in response(s) to the immediacy of things spoken by others, or by more subtle--and even less subtle--happenings in their present conversations. I did not care for the guest panelists who possessed ostentatious personalities, defined as grandstanding, with their "attempts" to share their respective personal witticisms among the other panelists and/or guests before the cameras, as well as for the benefit of those at home, and in the studio audience. Guest panelists, like Robert Q. Lewis, often tried to be funny but often missed "the point," or the timing; or he/they just didn't produce funny or clever remarks; thus, it could create a somewhat rough repartee that involved the guest and whomever that panelist had chosen to "best" show off for. And I feel this also applied to, but with a "more toned down" approach, Bennett Cerf, who often thought he was funny with his puns, but because he thought he was funny, I didn't! Plus his puns were often a little bit on the "shakey" side of hitting their intended target, as they often "felt forced," so "we" ended up with a marginally funny reference that didn't take the intended humor very far before it rather quickly disappeared into the studio's stale air. ~drs (09/27/24)
My step-mother and Ms. Chase knew each other and had friends in common. My step-mother loved to tell the story of how someone had brought the most beautiful, delicious cake to a party. Ms. Chase, upon seeing it, threw it right in the garbage in front of everyone. My step-mother thought that was rude and selfish. If she didn't want cake, that was her choice, but she didn't have to decide for everyone else. My step-mother said she was a snooty, cold, selfish beast of woman, lol.
Interesting.
18:43 what a handsome woman! And talented. A great dancer. OMG! heart attack city.
No whistles for Berry Chase ?
Berry? Uh?
this is the 2nd person they've had on that makes gold bricks
I'm a regular watcher of this, but with 400 episodes, how do you remember this stuff? I think I do good by naming most of the regular panelists, and I also know all the theme openings in sequence.
"Do you hear bells baby?"
Great comment. That's where I know that face. "Mad, Mad World."
Aha, goldbricking isn't heard much today; it means appearing to work but not working and dates to the old hustle of selling a gold-plated metal bar as if it were real gold. So a person is a 'gold brick' who shines on the outside but isn't worth much.
Fred Astaire had a crush on Barrie and dated her despite the age difference.
11:24 ! My daughters birthday also!!
One of her biggest fans,,,Then cyd
Joey was too funny with the gold brick contestant. He shone as a panelist. Thanks
You have to love Joey Bishop 👌🤗
No I don’t.
Definitely!
@@deedee89321 Definitely … a model Muppet.
The worst thing for a celebrity on this show is not to be guessed as it would show they were not that famous.
Gold was $35.00 an ounce. Now, it's about $1,700.00 an ounce.
Thank you Einstein, we had no idea.
If you bought $1K worth then, it would be worth a little over $48K.
$2050/oz as of Jan 2024
joey bishop would grind on my chalkboard after 10 minutes of his show.
I now have a new crush: Barrie Chase. Wow. Fred Astaire you lucky dog!
John Daly drives me nuts sometimes!
Those WML names defined in full (continued)
Daly - (i) An extremely verbose fellow. (ii) Mildly creepy, especially around beautiful young women (iii) A corn merchant.
Even in 1961 people were trying to get rich in the stock market.
ever hear of 1929?
You do realize the NYSE goes back to 1792. Even in 1961 it was very old.
Arguably the best figure on the show. Great legs!
Yes, John was quite dreamy ;)
Who? Martin Gabel?
$35/oz 17:10
LECTURES ON STOCK MARKET IN GRAND CENTRAL STATION 7:14 I loathe when he goes into that long winded snobbery talk.
MAKES GOLD BRICKS FOR U.S. GOVERNMENT
AFRICAN HUNTING GUIDE
Had Barrie Chase been born seven to ten years earlier, she would have been a big star in movie musicals. When she was in her early twenties, the big splashy movie musicals were on their way out.
18:04 Let's cut to the Chase.
Good night.
Was Barrie Chase really big star in 1961? I was looking her Wikipedia page and she doesn't seem to have had a remarkable career.
By the way she will be 87 on October 20th, 2020 (Still with us on August 20th, 2020)
She had been lifted out of the chorus by Fred Astaire and Hermes Pan for their three television specials at NBC, 1958-60. They were the most lauded ever. Barrie partnered Fred in all of them and shone in his reflected light. She was on the cover of TV Guide for the first.
Happy *NINETY* Madam,!.!!!
☺️☺️☺️☺️😊🥳🧸🎨👙🎨🎨🎨
Barrie Chase...another member of the cast of It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World that appeared on WML, joining Jimmy Durante, Jonathan Winters, Phil Silvers, Arnold Stang and Sid Caesar .
Gold was $35/OZ at that time.
Third time's the charm!
Daly to Contestant: Do you know how we keep score?
Contestant: Yes, Mr Daly … but, clearly you don’t!
Gabel’s rich parents owned a jewelry store in Philadelphia
I'm so enchanted by this time period but it's so alarming how many hunters they've brought on the show. Sad.
Merrida100: Grow up
Michael Danello - I don’t wholeheartedly agree with Merrida100 on this point either, but please let’s not be insulting.
You have no idea of what you are referring to
@ I agree with Merrida 100. Almost invariably, when a contestant is a male from Africa, he is involved with big game hunting or, less often, bullfighting. Both professions are today considered despicable, although were acceptable back then. I remember being so disappointed to see Arlene (who is so charming and intelligent) almost drooling over a bullfighter on another episode. How sad indeed.
?
Panel failed twice. Bennet Cerf not present evident.
John Daly must have been a politician in his past life . His double speak is classic . 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He never spoke double speak. I can follow every word of his explanations.
'Double speak, that is to say within the strictly applicable definition of saying one thing while meaning another, might be held to be an appropriate description in this case. Miss Francis?'

The culture of the '60s was very different from today's culture.Bullfighters would get no applause, and hunting guides who facilitated extinction of endangered species would get (at least) angry shouts. Today, the only hunters that deserve respect are those who cull invasive species, such as wild pigs and pythons.
Bishop or Steve Allen….who is the better guest panelist?
Steve Allen
Both up themselves jerks.
Another Bari Chase.
Mistake somehow about Barrie Chase
18:24 Who?
Jimmy Barr: Wake up. They said she was Fred Astaire's dancing partner.
Jimmy Barr - Me too. I had never heard of her and had to look her up to get more info. :)
Stephen Kennedy - Found a clip on TH-cam. That is one cool-crazy dance! And with a straight face even. :D
Seriously?
Barry Chase. A Rather Phenomenal and Gorgeous Dancer. On Again Off Again Dancing Partner of Fred Astaire. This "Owl" Lady had a rather Quirky, Unique, and Sintilating Dance Number with Dick Shawn Partial Ways Thru Stanley Kramer's Comedic Epic It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad World.
Incidentally; this "Owl" Lady is Still With Us Today At the Age of Ninety-One Years Young. 🎭
Let me know if You, One, and/or Two Other People's do Not Know 🦉 Fred Astaire is, Dick Shawn is, Stanley Kramer is, and/or do not know about this film about a Mad World and all.. 🫶
