I’m 34 and I grew up with all these classic shows. Game shows, sitcoms, dramas, sci-fi. You name it. I was definitely born in the wrong decade. I’m an old soul.
I LOVE Tony Randall. Every show he's in he graces us with his presence. He has a ball, and he gives so much thought to his questions, he's so engaging, and entertaining.
Tony Randalls EMMY Speech w@s the Funniest EMMY Moment in television. He won for The Odd Couple in its Fin@l 5th Season in l975 & never before. When he got the award handed to him, he said only this to the audience "I DONT Thank you. You overlooked my superb work for Years" & walked off LOLOL
Back when I started flying for business trips (late '90s) it was common to see elderly men and women dressed in their finest. It was beyond cute - but also kind of depressing knowing that the only times we 'care enough' to dress up now are typically only weddings, funerals & job interviews.
As a woman...I love love love to see some of these occupations the women guests had. I was born in 1970 & never realized there were so many trailblazers and fascinating jobs held by so many in the 50's and 60's!!❤😊 I find these shows very informational along with entertaining. Thank you for sharing! I'm definitely finding this show a pleasurable new addiction lol
Goes to show how women did stuff just fine before the feminist incels of the 60s came about. People complaining about commercials "that degrade women" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
When Barbra was successfully identified, everyone clapped. I clapped too, with a few tears in my eyes. Bless you, Barbra. RIP Dorothy, Tony, Arlene, Bennett and John.
I cried when Arlene said she wished Barbra would sing for them too. Her singing is so beautiful, it often brings me to tears. And I miss hearing Barbra, so I’d better listen to her beautiful voice soon! I’m just grateful she’s still with us! PS: Its hard to believe that she was already so poised, beautiful, and accomplished at only age 23!
Been a huge fan of Streisand for a very long time. The most gifted, talented, intelligent entertainer. She has more talent in her pinky than most have in their entire body. Respected by the greats in entertainment, politicians, and royalty.
@@johnlight9959 I often thought her role in _The Way We Were_ didn't test her acting skills, because she was as much an brainless activist ideologue in real life as she was in the movie. At least Redford _did_ put on a good act that he found her character's chest-beating and virtue-signaling to be annoying as hell, because his politics weren't as different as Streisand's.
Lots of good memories of that year. America when it was still America. The changes that would occur in just a few years could not have been imagined then. Perhaps because they were rather nightmarish.
I always enjoy watching these episodes of a classic television game show. So simple in its premise, certainly by today's standards, but non-the-less interesting and made even more enjoyable by the regular panelists and charming host Mr. Daly. This is television in its infancy, but yet still captivating in its performance. And boy, that Dorothy was an EXCELLENT player.
I was a pre-teen in 1965. My parents were avid Streisand fans, but we kids were stuck on the Beatles. Then watched her TV Specials on our little black & white TV, and we were all thunderstruck. We had never heard such a dynamic voice and personality. My parents are long gone, but we “kids” are still fans. And, yes, we agree with her political sentiments too.
Thanks for all the work you do curating and organizing this wonderful part of American TV history. Since I am also a classic movie fan I like to see some of Hollywood's classic stars on the show!
@@WhatsMyLine Really enjoyed the visit of the Navy Wave and learning about John Daly's military service! It was wonderful hearing there were celebrations of Dolittle's Raiders, too. I hope that continues! I'll have to google Dayton often to learn what air show celebrations are being planned.
What's My Line is my favorite game show. I shed a tear every time I watch these timeless episodes. With John Daly, Bennett, Arlene, Dorothy, and Fred. ❤
Challenger #2 Helen Boyle worked at The Atlas Minerals & Chemicals Co. which was Est. in 1892, located in Mertztown, PA. and is still in existence. I live about 40 miles NW of there.
Yet Bennett told the horse exerciser that she’d make a great librarian because of how pretty she is? That didn’t sound to me like he thought so highly of librarians if he’s saying it’s only about looks. That bother anyone else?
Thank you for the Sunday upgrades,I enjoy seeing the shows again as I did originally in the 1960s,I only wish the upgrades would continue,possibly once a month.
Well, I'm constrained, of course, by what material I have available! :) Glad you've been enjoying the upgrades, though-- and I do have some special goodies coming up now that this wave of upgrades is finished!
What a shame Dorothy passed away this year (1965) and tragic the way she died, the same way Marilyn Monroe died. Curious that both women were connected to Frank Sinatra with Frank thinking it was funny to make jokes about her looks, which I never thought of as anything but beautiful. She seemed so sweet, smart and elegant.
Her death was connected to the Kennedy murders. She knew too much and Marilyn had a big mouth when it came to her affairs with the Kennedy brothers. Both were connected with the Kennedy’s and were murdered by the party that sits in the WH who also took out the Kennedy’s because of their love of freedom and our country.
I'm 30, and I have to say, after watching several episodes with her sharp mind, and the cute grin she got when on the right track to an answer, i've got a bit of a crush! Decades out of sync of course. What a cool lady
How I love this show! Unfortunately, it was in too late to watch when I was a very young child- My bedtime was 8:30 unless it was summer vacation. I get to enjoy these fun episodes now! Thank you for posting!
As I recall the show was often broadcast live as opposed to video-taped on Sunday evenings, because the show had the 10:30 pm time slot in NYC and it came on at 7:30 in California -- and that's when I remember watching it as a kid.

I learned something from one of the commercials. I never knew before that Pall Mall cigarettes were pronounced "Pell Mell." I don't think this is just an accent from that period of time or from a certain region, because I haven't noticed that pronunciation on other "-all" words on What's My Line, and there are several speakers in the commercial who all pronounce the name the same way.
That is how the street in London is pronounced. It is a street of fancy clubs, and naming the cigarette for this street implies that this is what people who like quality smoke. Also why Pall Malls have the slogan “Wherever particular people congregate”.
I sat here wondering how old Barbra Streisand was in this clip and then John Daly says she just had a 24th birthday. What timing.Since I was 8 years old in ‘65 and never saw this show until a few years later. The ages of these mystery guests always amazed me.
I've been watching WML a lot in the last weeks. While created way before my time, they are somehow relaxing to watch & and afford a genteel glimpse into another time. Today I was at a local park in NYC which has one of those little free library boxes. In it was a quite musty volume of "Bennett Cerf's Bumper Crop," 730 pages, published in 1952, by Garden City Books. The dust jacket was still in place. It is comprised of five of his previous bestsellers in one volume. Many of the very short, humorous blurbs, are from his weekly column in the "This Week" magazine: (not so surprisingly titled) "Cerf Board." For some days I'll need to put the book in an enclosed container with baking soda to absorb the musty smell, but will treasure this gift of synchronicity (or coincidence--if you believe in such.) 🤓
Well -- I am old enough that I watched many of these episodes first run. I remember specifically when Dorothy broke her collarbone slipping on a throw rug. When this WML channel ramped up years ago, I thought my memory was faulty because Dorothy and accident did not show up for the longest time. Arlene and her accident, which I did not remember, were shown when the channel broadcast WML 1963. Then the channel got to 1965 and the six or so episodes surrounding Dorothy's collar injury got played again.
Everyone telling Dorothy how glad it was to have her back.... Sadly no one could have imagined by November she would not be back again... 😢 what a look back to Babs! An illustrious career ahead!
The Pall Mall commercial was a classic. You can see why so many got hooked. Those things were filterless, so especially lethal ( but tasted better?). My mom and dad smoked 3 packs a day of them (each!) and mom had lung cancer at 64 to prove it. Our home ( and car) always had a heavy ozone layer when I was growing up from those death-inducing puffs.
My Dad started with Chesterfields in 1956 right out of high school, switched to Pall Malls by 1960. Eventually, he went to the gold version which had a filter. Didn't help any. Despite quitting in the mid 90s, hedied from lung cancer in 2016.
@@HooDatDonDar Yep, he was a few months short of 78. My mom died two and a half years later with congestive heart failure from smoking. She smoked menthol for probably 30 of those years.
One little known fact about Barbra. Someone I know attended Erasmus Hall H.S. in Brooklyn when she was there and said she was an excellent student and had she not gone off to Broadway would very likely have been admitted to one of the Ivy League universities.
22:52 "You bet I'm particular ... and my Pall Malls prove it!" Particularly proved it for my father. He worked for the company that made them. And he died of the particular disease known as emphysema.
Best comeback: Bennett: "Do you wear a uniform of some branch of the armed services?" Delores (Guest): "Yes, it is." Bennett: "Can I eliminate the Marines?" Arlene: "Nobody can eliminate the Marines!"
Yes it was, and still they managed to be very funny and entertaining. Being in my twenties, I never got the full experience but I can at least enjoy the reruns. Honestly there's only a couple of shows I actually like and watch that are currently on air. For some reason when I try to watch new shows I get kind of an uneasy feeling, but older ones are very comforting to me. I wonder why and how the switch to everything being vulgar, violent, and crude occurred. TV executives are only concerned with money and ratings but surely there's enough people who would like to see some programming like this?!?!?
@@missfabolous000 Deconstructionism contributed greatly to why our society exists today. Everything, and I mean everything, has been reduced and stripped down to its lowest common denominator. This applies to speech, dress, architecture, what have you. The drive to oversimplify has tossed the baby out with bathwater. Everything is now base, coarse and mean. Cheap and disposable. A society gets what it deserves.
Dated a doppelganger of Barbra in college. It was so funny the surprised evinced by others that Barbra would be in the company of a lowly schlub like me.
What a wunderkind Barbra was. The entire entertainment establishment fawned over this astronomically talented young woman who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Bette Davis, columnists, and clearly everyone on this show already giving deference to her creative genius. Perhaps only Judy was as musically precocious.
Penny Early later became a jockey, but male jockeys refused to compete against her and protested the races...she later signed with the Kentucky Colonels professional basketball team, as a publicity stunt, and at 5'3" became the smallest player to ever play in a game!
+Jim Blane Designed ostensibly to support Ms Early's cause to become a jockey and end the male jockeys' boycott. because if was such an obvious publicity stunt the way she was dressed in a miniskirt instead of shorts and playing only a few seconds of one game (and without ever having had a serious basketball background), it may have hurt her cause more than helped it. When it comes to mentioning women pioneers in sports, her name is rarely among them.
Barbra: awarded an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award. And, unlike most of today's pop singers, didn't need Auto Tune to fix the shortcomings of her voice. (Yes, I know, it didn't exist back then. Still...) She received: 2 Academy Awards, 10 Grammy Awards including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the Grammy Legend Award, 5 Emmy Awards, 4 Peabody Awards, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and 9 Golden Globes. Amazing.
I cannot help but wonder where life took the guests on these shows, as in the race horse exerciser, Genny Early. It would be fun to find information such as if they are still alive, etc.
Interesting the way Bennett Cerf and John Daley spoke so positively about teachers in 1965. It's not how teachers are respected today. They aren't even paid much today.
@@LANCSKID I don't care who you are. But you seem to be hurt because somebody's last name has an extra letter. Too bad you don't have the same concern for something serious. Like the genocide in Gaza.
Pam Hamilton This show _actually_ confirmed that Womanhood, femininity, elegance and grace are all DEAD in the modern woman. Contemporary woman ain’t worth Jack shit.
Pam Hamilton Harriet Tubman confirmed it for me. Ah Can Barbara free the slaved?.... no bcuz in many ways B is a slave. But, she can't free herself. She has a fantastic voice tho.

This Show and To Tell the Truth were the two great great classics, but WML ? is the finest & best.

Thank you so much for posting these! They bring me, and I'm sure many others, a lot of joy.
Having worked most of my life in the advertising business, I love to see these old commercials!
I’ve been watching WML lately. All of their mystery guest were A LIST CELEBRITIES
Wish they would reboot this show
I love Barbara's hair....she looks beautiful
Great commercial as well! We had this very model!

I learned something from one of the commercials. I never knew before that Pall Mall cigarettes were pronounced "Pell Mell." I don't think this is just an accent from that period of time or from a certain region, because I haven't noticed that pronunciation on other "-all" words on What's My Line, and there are several speakers in the commercial who all pronounce the name the same way.
That is how the street in London is pronounced. It is a street of fancy clubs, and naming the cigarette for this street implies that this is what people who like quality smoke.
Also why Pall Malls have the slogan “Wherever particular people congregate”.
She was and will always be a Star in Heaven's her singing and Films Have been such a great Joy to me,
Good heavens she was stunning! :)
Who?
The commercials are GREAT! They could use some of these commercials today.
I sat here wondering how old Barbra Streisand was in this clip and then John Daly says she just had a 24th birthday. What timing.Since I was 8 years old in ‘65 and never saw this show until a few years later. The ages of these mystery guests always amazed me.
I've been watching WML a lot in the last weeks. While created way before my time, they are somehow relaxing to watch & and afford a genteel glimpse into another time. Today I was at a local park in NYC which has one of those little free library boxes. In it was a quite musty volume of "Bennett Cerf's Bumper Crop," 730 pages, published in 1952, by Garden City Books. The dust jacket was still in place. It is comprised of five of his previous bestsellers in one volume. Many of the very short, humorous blurbs, are from his weekly column in the "This Week" magazine: (not so surprisingly titled) "Cerf Board." For some days I'll need to put the book in an enclosed container with baking soda to absorb the musty smell, but will treasure this gift of synchronicity (or coincidence--if you believe in such.) 🤓
Someone needed a pin to stick into Cerf so to de-puff his ego. Nvrthlss it was good to hear the plug for libraries / librarians.
Yes!! De Puff Cerf !
Streisand was on a year earlier when a contestant made Nitroglycerin to go with this show's dynamite cap lady.
And in about a month from now (today is March 26th 2022), she'll be celebrating her 80th birthday.
So many times the mystery guest was just someone about to appear in a play etc and promoted in the papers that the panel already read.
Have always admired & adored her! Fantastic singer & actress ♥️
Well -- I am old enough that I watched many of these episodes first run. I remember specifically when Dorothy broke her collarbone slipping on a throw rug. When this WML channel ramped up years ago, I thought my memory was faulty because Dorothy and accident did not show up for the longest time. Arlene and her accident, which I did not remember, were shown when the channel broadcast WML 1963. Then the channel got to 1965 and the six or so episodes surrounding Dorothy's collar injury got played again.
They had their accidents on the actual show ??
ArtificialRed Daly mentioned the accidents each time on the live Sunday show.
Everyone telling Dorothy how glad it was to have her back.... Sadly no one could have imagined by November she would not be back again... 😢 what a look back to Babs! An illustrious career ahead!
The Pall Mall commercial was a classic. You can see why so many got hooked. Those things were filterless, so especially lethal ( but tasted better?). My mom and dad smoked 3 packs a day of them (each!) and mom had lung cancer at 64 to prove it. Our home ( and car) always had a heavy ozone layer when I was growing up from those death-inducing puffs.
My Dad started with Chesterfields in 1956 right out of high school, switched to Pall Malls by 1960. Eventually, he went to the gold version which had a filter. Didn't help any. Despite quitting in the mid 90s, hedied from lung cancer in 2016.
@@debbieomi about 80?
@@HooDatDonDar Yep, he was a few months short of 78. My mom died two and a half years later with congestive heart failure from smoking. She smoked menthol for probably 30 of those years.
Obviously that was one of Arlene's casual sables.
I'm guessing it was one of her Spring or early-Summer sables.
John Wettermark LOL
🤣
Heard her sing in Central park NYC NY..."people...who need people..are the luckiest people in the World"
Dynamite can't be found in most homes, unless the Addams Family mansion. It's one of Uncle Fester's favorite toys.
11:53 JCD BIG hint "crumbs"
For a game show, they dress like going to a ball. Very classy.
Barbra should have used anything but her voice. She’s so perfect wow.
And the long answers . I think some like Barbra want to be discovered quickly . Imagine the dent to the ego if they didn't discover her identity .
THE classic Streisand look of the sixties.
I was in kindergarten when this was broadcast. A time when my mother was really into Barbra Streisand
23 yr old Barbara is CHARMING beyond measure!!!!
Wow that's amazing how polite and genuine ,people were back then . The etiquette and the formal dress and attire !
One little known fact about Barbra. Someone I know attended Erasmus Hall H.S. in Brooklyn when she was there and said she was an excellent student and had she not gone off to Broadway would very likely have been admitted to one of the Ivy League universities.
Neil Diamond attended Erasmus Hall at the same time as Barbra. He is a year older than her.
Not surprised that she is a smart lady.
This is a very classic programme.
It’s rigged and as corny as Kellogg’s corn … corn … corn Zzzzzzzz
22:52 "You bet I'm particular ... and my Pall Malls prove it!" Particularly proved it for my father. He worked for the company that made them. And he died of the particular disease known as emphysema.
Yikes. Very sorry to hear that.
Best comeback:
Bennett: "Do you wear a uniform of some branch of the armed services?"
Delores (Guest): "Yes, it is."
Bennett: "Can I eliminate the Marines?"
Arlene: "Nobody can eliminate the Marines!"
how clean TV was back then not like today family's could sit around the set and watch it together
an we did
I was 12yrs old when I watched this it's weird I can still remember this particular show
PS even the car commercials told the truth cars where built so much better then not like the junk we have now
Yes it was, and still they managed to be very funny and entertaining. Being in my twenties, I never got the full experience but I can at least enjoy the reruns. Honestly there's only a couple of shows I actually like and watch that are currently on air. For some reason when I try to watch new shows I get kind of an uneasy feeling, but older ones are very comforting to me.
I wonder why and how the switch to everything being vulgar, violent, and crude occurred. TV executives are only concerned with money and ratings but surely there's enough people who would like to see some programming like this?!?!?
@@missfabolous000 Deconstructionism contributed greatly to why our society exists today. Everything, and I mean everything, has been reduced and stripped down to its lowest common denominator. This applies to speech, dress, architecture, what have you. The drive to oversimplify has tossed the baby out with bathwater. Everything is now base, coarse and mean. Cheap and disposable. A society gets what it deserves.
Interestingly, both of Barbra Streisand's mystery guest appearances were at the start of National Library Week. (4/12/1964 was her first appearance.)
Dated a doppelganger of Barbra in college. It was so funny the surprised evinced by others that Barbra would be in the company of a lowly schlub like me.
What a wunderkind Barbra was. The entire entertainment establishment fawned over this astronomically talented young woman who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Bette Davis, columnists, and clearly everyone on this show already giving deference to her creative genius. Perhaps only Judy was as musically precocious.
Did that guy whistle the "Dragnet" theme as his wolf whistle when the first contestant walked out? 😅
Penny Early later became a jockey, but male jockeys refused to compete against her and protested the races...she later signed with the Kentucky Colonels professional basketball team, as a publicity stunt, and at 5'3" became the smallest player to ever play in a game!
Jim Blane Wow! Great to know...thanks!
+Jim Blane
Designed ostensibly to support Ms Early's cause to become a jockey and end the male jockeys' boycott. because if was such an obvious publicity stunt the way she was dressed in a miniskirt instead of shorts and playing only a few seconds of one game (and without ever having had a serious basketball background), it may have hurt her cause more than helped it. When it comes to mentioning women pioneers in sports, her name is rarely among them.
And as of March 2020, is still alive.
What were the grounds?
Dorothy was back after detoxing in the hospital. Unfortunately, that didn't last long. She was back on the booze and meds in no time.
Miss Early besides exercising horses looked like she did some exercising herself. Thanks for the video.
Always enjoy the classic commercials, thanks! (All of a sudden I’m hungry for corn flakes.)
It was so sexist LOL and the lines were good and ridiculous at the same time.
… and a Pall Mall, Laura?
that one savage who whistled for Mrs. Boyle 😂😂😂
Barbra: awarded an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award. And, unlike most of today's pop singers, didn't need Auto Tune to fix the shortcomings of her voice. (Yes, I know, it didn't exist back then. Still...)
She received: 2 Academy Awards, 10 Grammy Awards including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the Grammy Legend Award, 5 Emmy Awards, 4 Peabody Awards, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and 9 Golden Globes.
Amazing.
I cannot help but wonder where life took the guests on these shows, as in the race horse exerciser, Genny Early. It would be fun to find information such as if they are still alive, etc.
I think about that too
Yes someone else commented she became a kinda famous jockey. Penny Early. You can Google it
Happy 80th Birthday, Barbra!
The Tony Randall movie "Fluffy" that Dorothy mentioned is on RUclips, it's a pretty good comedy.
Just casually glancing up at the lights after she sat down, such a funny little moment.
Interesting the way Bennett Cerf and John Daley spoke so positively about teachers in 1965. It's not how teachers are respected today. They aren't even paid much today.
It’s Daly … not ‘Daley’.
@@LANCSKID are you related to him?
@@nysaxman I think you might be confusing me with Tom Dooley.
@@nysaxman However, I do wear bow ties if that helps …
@@LANCSKID I don't care who you are. But you seem to be hurt because somebody's last name has an extra letter. Too bad you don't have the same concern for something serious. Like the genocide in Gaza.
Love Barbra's dress and how she wears it. Love the cigarette commercials.
I was impressed with her Italian. I didn’t know she spoke fluently.
She always has been in love with Italian language
This show confirmed that Women can do anything !!!!
Pam Hamilton This show _actually_ confirmed that Womanhood, femininity, elegance and grace are all DEAD in the modern woman.
Contemporary woman ain’t worth Jack shit.
Pam Hamilton Harriet Tubman confirmed it for me.
Ah Can Barbara free the slaved?.... no bcuz in many ways B is a slave. But, she can't free herself. She has a fantastic voice tho.
@@louisxvii2137 Speak for those you know.
I came to look at this to see if Arlene was wearing her necklace. The video the week before this she was not wearing it which surprised me.
Miss Dorothy Killington died on November 8 1965 , So this is NOT A SHAME. Please fact check before commenting thank you
Streisand launched directly into the stratosphere! What a voice can do!
Don’t you love the class on shows like this.
I seek out your videos.
It's very nice to see the decorum of long ago times.
Did I hear John Charles Daly say Barbra was 33? OH NO she was only 23 years old when during this appearance!
He didn’t say “Hello, Dolly,” either.
Are there any other celebrity guests from the original run that are still alive in 2023?
Steve Lawrence is.
