I remember reading about this episode and the significance behind it. The topic of the show is clearly maternity & pregnancy, which was a touchy movie/TV/radio topic back then. Lucille Ball (the mystery guest) was the first actress to show her pregnancy on television (which was actually termed as "expecting", not pregnant, as a compromise). From what I understand, Dorothy was only allowed to appear on this episode of WML because the panel desk hid her pregnancy from the cameras. The movie censor contestant was also not a coincidence (she might even responsible for censoring such content in Kansas). It might not seem like it now, but this episode made a significant statement back then and I feel fortunate that we can go back and watch and (re)live history in the making.
It's probably no coincidence they finished with a checker player, since that was the old joke back then, husbands and wives playing checkers was the anti-romantic "TV-safe" thing to do together.
The word was so taboo back then that the episode where it was first made public on her CBS show was officially titled “Lucy Is _Enciente_ ”, the last word being French for pregnant.
The I Love Lucy Martian episode was first shown on March 29,1954 and she must've been rehearsing that episode when she came on WML and still had that "Martian" talk very fresh. Lucy was amazing, I'm thankful to her and Desi for the laughs!
I love how, when Lucy replied in "Martian", she turned to Mr. Daly and tilted her head with a look of: "What? You don't understand me?" Then, Dorothy Kilgallen replied..."What did it say?" Hysterical!
What a real treat! No GSN logo, a clean and crisp copy, commercials intact, and the CBS eye at the end - the way it was meant to be seen! Oh, and Deborah Kerr, it was nice hearing an English accent on the program and I think she would have grown into a fine panelist given half the chance.
@Jeff, the God of Biscuits and it wasn't all the time. My understanding is that it was mostly along the lines of "maybe assume the product is for men" or something very vague like that.
@@kristabrewer9363 Yes, sadly they did feed Steve Allen (and Hal Block before him) many, many questions to ask. They never told them what the product was but did in fact give them questions in advance.
A more guarded society; maintain a proper facade (even shield a pregnancy in Dorothy’s case), and stress and suffer in private, often at great personal cost
Lucy never made an attempt to hide her voice, which was Very distinctive. It's almost as if she wanted to give it away. Awesome episode - The maternity clothes segment was about as much fun as I've seen with the panel in quite some time.
Yeah I was thinking how Lucy treats it more like how many comedians in the uk treat modern panel shows, using the game as a framework to do some excellent comedy and not caring about the game/prize. Modern panelists/guests generally don't have the opportunity to win money, I think 50$ is about 500$ in today's money, maybe a bit more really. And that might change a contestants point of view. There is also the other factor which is that if you are guessed quickly you have more time to just chat and promote what you are there to plug. Lucille Ball was there to promote a charity on this episode I believe.
Bigwave2003 - Yes! And the “whopping big $7.50 trade-in allowance” for your old electric shaver is 50% more than anyone else will give you! Better rush right out and get one.
It's funny because I think, how could a Lucille Ball fan, as these panelists are, not recognize the Martian talk. It is verbatim what she says in the Martian episode. Then I realize that this appearance was about 1 month prior to that episodes air date. She was giving them a preview!
I didn't know Dorothy was pregnant at this time. That would explain the explosive laughter of the audience during Steve Allen's questioning! How lucky are we that Mr. Shostak provided this video and it's "upgraded" A/V? Thank you to him and to you Gary for posting it! This was so cool to see! About the movie censor: I'm not trying to be crude but Mrs. Vaughn must be rolling in her grave, with all the crap in the movies and television. Ye Gods!
Mrs. Vaughn was part of the Kansas State Board of Review from 1942 to 1956, and was Chair for a bunch of that time. At the beginning of her time on the Board, censorship (and/or community standards, depending on your POV) was accepted fact; by the time she resigned/was kicked off (a bit of both), the public and studios were pushing back. She was also a long-time newspaper woman, co-publishing the Bonner Springs Chieftan for decades. She got into the business via her first husband, who she married in 1910. (He bought it in 1909.) When he died in 1921, she continued as publisher, ceding the title to her second husband, Marion Vaughn, who she married in 1930. Her first husband was Imri Zumwalt; he was pretty conservative, religiously, and pushed for prohibition, stopping public dancing, and that sort of thing. Mr. Vaughn was a conservative Republican as well, but of a reformist bent. Not sure how any of the three of them affected the editorial stance of the paper; that is a rabbit hole I really don't need to go down. Mrs. Vaughn died in 1966, age 76; she and Zumwalt had a daughter together, and a few grandchildren.
Today's "rerun" episode, a show never rerun on GSN and not part of the Goodson-Todman archive, was badly in need of a copy in better a/v quality.

Sometimes I wish the audience didn't know the line, because they give a lot away with their laughter (to that end, I love when John gives the contestant the full $50 anyway). But then, a lot of the joy comes from the times when the panels questions are way off.
@@libertyann439 It also helps that there isn't a lot of loud, shrill, deafening filler music between guests. Allows the words to hang in the air and be enjoyed for their wit.
It was very rare, during this early period, for John to throw all the cards, unless it was because time ran out. Later on he frequently did so "becasue we've had so much fun" or something to that effect. One wonders whether this was the first time he did that -- although with so many of the early shows missing, there's no way to know.
This was hilarious When I saw "sell maternity clothes" and realize Dorothy was 8 month pregnant, and then came Steve question and John nodded his head for YES! Precious.
New York must have been a culture shock for Lucy because she lived in LA where she filmed her series at Desilu Stuios in Hollywood California. I have always wondered what the Big Apple was like during the 1950s compared to other small cities such as London, Paris and Sydney..
It would interesting to know where the commercials were done if they were live. In an age where TV is ads interrupted occasionally by entertainment, it is startling to see commercials kept to a minimum. 3. and two sponsors.
I love & miss the ‘50s & I was born in the ‘70s. And of course I love Lucy. Ironic she mentioned the heart fund & she died due to a heart complication. God I miss her to this day. 😞
Interesting that this episode stars the lovable and ever popular Lucille Ball and it has over 16,000 views yet only 36 comments. Also the episode has 4 "thumbs down". What's not to like about this episode that also includes the original commercials? Just observations.
To Tell the Truth (CBS) Unfortunately you're correct, but I'd love to ask those 4 people what they didn't like about a great episode of a great show that included the original commercials and even though it is over 60 years old that it's magically made available for free for their enjoyment. Not only did they not like it, but they disliked it enough to take the time to give it a thumbs down. I can only imagine the "brilliant" response they would give.
Here I am writing from November of 2019, and there are seven "dislikes." Some people have nothing better to do than go through "TH-cam" and give a "thumbs-down" to whatever they see. If they could express *why* they didn't like it, I might actually pay attention to their explanations--but it's surely just that they're empty "people" who have nothing better to do with their time.
I loved the electric razor commercial, such class and creativity. Makes me want to get one. Just like this show, you don't get commercials like these anymore. Most are so dumb.
18:11 John explains that Lucy is giving her answers in Martian. Curiously, they filmed an episode of "I Love Lucy" on February 16th (5 days before her What's My Line appearance) called 'Lucy is Envious' (S03E23) where Lucy and Ethel pose as "Women from Mars". So this WML show served as a kind of a preview for the future I Love Lucy "Martian" episode that would air on March 29, 1954.
The last contestants line was so impressive and interesting that they should've held him for the next game. They easily could have made small talk for the 2 minutes that they gave him. Going out of his way for this treatment was an insult.

Wow. I had no idea about any of this, aside from Lucy being the first actual pregnant woman shows in TV.
It's probably no coincidence they finished with a checker player, since that was the old joke back then, husbands and wives playing checkers was the anti-romantic "TV-safe" thing to do together.
Dorothy gave birth to her son 19/03/1954 and missed only one episode being on panel it was WML on 21/03/1954.
The word was so taboo back then that the episode where it was first made public on her CBS show was officially titled “Lucy Is _Enciente_ ”, the last word being French for pregnant.
I absolutely love to see the old ads! It adds something special to the historical aspect to these shows today.
I would have to put this show in the top 10 of anything that I've ever watched including movies I am enthralled with this series.
You have good taste.
It has been 60 years since this program was aired. Was. Still very watchable.
Hopefully grands can get turned on to this and see class as it was then.
But grandma might be too young herself
Lucy's expressions when she looks at Daly just crack me up.
I love Steve Allen's face ..so confused and bewildered
I like seeing the old ads. Thumbs up for including them.
Watching the series in order, I think this is the first time Daily flipped all of the cards “just for fun.” About time.

What a real treat! No GSN logo, a clean and crisp copy, commercials intact, and the CBS eye at the end - the way it was meant to be seen!
Oh, and Deborah Kerr, it was nice hearing an English accent on the program and I think she would have grown into a fine panelist given half the chance.
Laughing and crying at the the joy of seeing Miss Lucy again allows me to remember my nana. Like I said earlier they were twins without being related
Steve Allen is funny without saying anything......His double takes to the audience are priceless.
This was hilarious. Lucille Ball was a gift! ❤
Lucille was also a very good dramatic actress, this was another great episode
Steve Allen's questions tend to get the biggest laughs from the audience. Then he looks around all confused.
dancepiglover He got them as suggestions before the show
@@LarsRyeJeppesen WHAT? people don't SUGGEST to the panelists what to ask?

Maybe she was a German Martian
This was one of your best videos so far - complete with commercials and even the CBS "eye" right at the end. Loved every minute! Thank you so much!
The Remington commercial is amazing with the quartet. Also a trade in allowance - wow. Lucy was awesome - also she did get nervous frequently.
I love when the commercials are included.
People were definitely happier and more laid back in those days!
Nope

"It's a moo-moo!" 😜
That one word opening utterance from Lucille Ball has got to be the funniest most hysterical single word ever spoken ......EVER.

Hard to not love Lucy. She really did kick all kinds of ass.
Check out the Stopette commercial. It's the first one we have that refers to the "new anti-immunity factor." How creepy that bit of scientific-sounding advertising jargon sounds in the modern era! Of course nobody then was worried about immunodeficiency viruses, and this was before the age of immune suppression for transplant recipients, so the immune system wasn't quite as much in the public eye. Still, one would think that Dr. Jules Montenier would have known better.
Ha! Good point. We're all paying attention to immunity now, in the time of covid!😉
It would've been funny if Dorothy had stood up to show off her maternity outfit.
What Steve Allen doesn't mention when he describes Arlene Francis' show, Talent Patrol, is that he was a prior emcee of the same show.
Lucy was an absolute riot!
We forget how beautiful Lucy was.
Lucy was always great!
So famous, she’s the original Star that was known by only her first name. She didn’t have to create that.
I wonder how much that 1954 Remington cost to justify a $7.50 trade-in allowance (nearly $68 in 2015 dollars).
Advertisements from 1954 say that the shaver cost $23.50, so with trade-in you could get it for $16.00.
That shaver is 217 in 2019 dollars. Things that seem cheap to us were quite expensive even then.
The trade in is not quite 71 dollars now.
Wow, what self promotion every panelist received. And the different companies that got to promote their services and wares. What a huge commercial endeavor this program was.
Everyone loves Lucy!
Not everyone
Tom wiswell was also a contestant on the syndicated version.
I love Lucy!
Damn, Lucy’s penmanship is phenomenal
Unsurprising that Stopette stopped being produced. $1.25 was expensive in 1954.
My favorite episode..Lucys on😅
I would know that voice!!!
Stopette, what is "Anti-Immunity factor"? Sounds dangerous, lol
Wonder what show Deborah Kerr was referring to when she said the second contestant looked like the man coughing on the front row last night?
It looks as though Deborah Kerr was still starring in a play called, "Tea and Sympathy," by Robert Anderson, at the time of this show.
So in 1954 they had started to refer to her as Lucy!
They all knew that voice in the first second. Just "drew it out."
that remington song's kind of a bop
Lucille Ball, AKA Star Trek's momma
18:58 - *It's* a muu-muu. :D

Arlenes hair looks great ❤
Omg Deborah is such a sweetheart
I like when they show the old commercials!
Lol The audience response anytime to anything concerning any type of female garment
Fun!
12:11 due to the questions, I'd be curious to know if the ladies (or steve's wife) were known to be pregnant by the public...
Dorothy was pregnant at this time, with her son Kerry. Steve and Audrey were not married yet.
I believe living in this are was a lot better than today
Correct
I love Deborah Kerr so much!! She is the one women.
At 16:05... an interesting angle. ;-)
"🎶....the shaver that can shave a peach.... 🎶" lol!
State film censor...just a few years before the supreme court declared movies were free speech.
The Stopette girl looked exactly like a previous guest who was a gorilla hunter.
Maternity clothes were prettier then. Now they wear tight t shirts and look like watermelons.
I think Dorothy was pregnant with Jill.
liberty Ann Actually, it was Kerry.
Is this the first show with a female guest in place of Bennett, i.e. three women one man?
