According to his wife Lillian Bounds-Disney, Walt & Mickey's lives closely mirrored each other's (seeing how Mickey was envisioned by Walt, originally drawn by Ub Iwerks, and later given realistic weight & movement through squash & stretch by Fred Moore [who also upgraded Mickey's design to be cuter by making him appear more rounded with larger more expressive eyes, rather than the classic pie-eyed look of the past that's since made a comeback courtesy of the Paul Rudish Mickey shorts], along with being given the name of Mickey instead of Mortimer [which was in itself used thrice over as the name for Mickey's rival, the name of Minnie's distant uncle, and even one of Mickey's twin nephew's legal first name would be Mortimer too, but everyone, including both Mickey & Minnie, call him Morty for short to avoid further confusion] by Lillian herself) & as many fans have come to define the partnership, Mickey isn't just a figurehead mascot nor is his all-circle head shape merely simply an identifiable logo for the company, Mickey is basically Uncle Walt's alter-ego.
I grew up watching "The Wonderful World of Disney" every week. He introduced each show, so his voice is immediately recognizable to me. What a heart for people.
I sat on Walt Disney's lap in our CA home as a 5yo while my father was signing a contract to work w/him. My most prized photograph. Been a fan ever since.

This episode of What's My Line is pretty pertinent, given a few years later, in 1961, Walt Disney released 101 Dalmatians. In the film, Jasper and Horace are distracted from watching the puppies when the cat Sargant Tibbs locates them because the two crooks are watching a fictional game show called "What's My Crime?" Pretty obvious where the inspiration for that part of the film came from.
I add back in the original commercials for any episode where I have them available, but I only have around 2 dozen shows uncut. The original commercials never aired on GSN, which is where all these recordings come from.
I love What's My Line! The show is timeless and the panel was pure class. It was wonderful to see Walt Disney, and I was reminded that my cousin's uncle was one of the lead animators at Disney studios. When my cousin had her first child, her uncle made a little stool for him, and on the top was an authentic painting of Mickey Mouse! I also remember going to my cousin's birthday parties, at her uncle's home, where we would get to watch the latest Disney films before the public saw them. At the time, I don't think we were aware of how privileged we were. It was only years later that I realized how incredibly special these occasions were.
When John Daly said he hoped that Disney would be staying in television, he had no idea that one day Disney's company would own the network they both appeared on, ABC.
JAY MORGENTHAL -The show actually began on ABC and was called Disney Land. The show moved to NBC in 1962 because Walt wanted the show to be in color and ABC didn’t. When it moved to NBC it was retitled, Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color. It was retitled The Wonderful World of Disney after Disney’s death in 1966.

I was very privileged in the early 1970's to actually handle real Disney films in glorious black & white and colour film for a television station I worked at in Queensland Australia. Walt Disney would host one hour tv film programs called "Disneyland" each week.

In the late 1950s on Fridays he hosted "Walt Disney Presents" in the U.S. on the NBC network. In the early 1960s the show switched to Sunday nights and was renamed "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color." There's an interesting story behind that. Grace Lee Whitney portrayed Yeoman Janice Rand on "Star Trek," which also was on NBC. Remember how colorful the costumes were on that show? RCA owned NBC -- RCA also made and sold color television sets, and wanted to sell people on how wonderful and lively color was compared to black-and-white. No doubt renaming Walt Disney's show was part of that. Not directly related: on the Disney cable channel I saw reruns of Walt Disney's "Zorro," which were colorized in 1992. Too bad Guy Williams never lived to see them; he died two years earlier.
Brandon Fitzgerald: That “scratch” is annoying, especially in classical music. It’s like a cougher at a concert. Sometimes I miss the size of LP cover art, but not much else.
@@marshallartz395 Lol, same here absolutely annoying, I only ever bought a couple of records because of that, somehow I knew one day the technology would get better and lose the noise!! When CD's came out is when I finally started buying music uninterrupted by hissing and popping 👍
I’m 78 now and grew up with Walt Disney. I wanted to be a Mouseketeer more than anything in my life! My Dad, Bill Lee, was a member of the singing quartet called The Mellomen and they practically lived at the Disney studios creating voices for cartoons. I also had a lengthy studio singing career and was recording at the Disney studios the day he passed away. They canceled the session then. Many were the birthdays I spent at Disneyland and still love any excuse to go there. Rest In Peace, sir, and thank you for everything!
Wait! Bill Lee, as in the Bill Lee, who did the singing voice for Captain Von Trapp in the sound of music? If so, your dad was a fantastic singer, and I enjoyed his voice very much
@JSandwich13. Nice catch there, “J!” 100% agreed… OK… Lol… 1000%. Bill Lee sounds absolutely gorgeous as Christopher Plumber‘s singing voice in that classic, classic favorite. 🏆 ⭐️ ❤ Your father sang so magnificently! i’m sure you did, too!

"I'm in Pittsburgh" I suppose means she's totally lost in darkness. Back in the day people brought a second shirt to work in Pittsburgh to change into after lunch because the smog stained their clothes before too long.
My grandfather worked in a steel mill in Pittsburgh for 40 years, and I grew up in a house within 5 blocks of the mill. Our porch had a thin layer of soot on it at all times, regardless of the frequency of washing.
@@Theyralltakenfu Catalytic converters and the mills closing have alot to do with that, it used to be worse than China smog is now. I'm an hour from Pitt.
In the 50'es reducing pills, besides vitamins, etc, were containing Amphetamine as well, and they were quite popular. They were forbidden later on, but not before they had ruined a lot of lives. I hope that Lady came out of it in a good way.
Sadly, Hollywood producers often 'forced' their female stars to partake of such drugs (Marilyn Monroe/Judy Garland come to mind), with life-altering effects on the takers....
Miss Francis here manages to out-funny Jerry Lewis, and that's a brilliant thing to see. Miss Kilgallen (Or however you spell it, it's hard to tell with this footage) asks some bloody good questions. Mr Cerf seems to know basically everyone semi-personally. This is a damn good line up of panellists.
It's great to be able to step back in time, and watch these people do their thing. Grateful the show lasted so long and I still have plenty of episodes left to enjoy.
So good to see him again. I hate to think what he’d think of what’s become of his wonderful work today. Very sad to see the changes in our country. (Jane)😢
I thought it was interesting that the crowd didn't necessarily recognize him. I mean, in today's world we all grew up knowing what he looked like, but John said he had only been on TV for the past two or three years. Before that, he was only behind the scenes. I find it gloriously fun to see how already, he was greatly loved by everyone, when he was technically a new face to his fans.
My jaw dropped especially when they all laughed. How cruel. She was very playful and was enjoying being there immensely until that. I noticed she didn't stick around for the customary goodbyes. Poor woman.
He was a bigot and a racist. I’m disabled and learning about some of the things he said about disabled people while doing work for the MDA is really upsetting.
I just want to say that I grew up in southern California and loved Disneyland we had to travel through farms and orange groves till you saw the Majestic Matterhorn, I remember when Walt passed I was in 6th grade and all California schools closed for the week. and flags flew at half mast. What amazing man.
I saw this when it aired. My family usually watched it every week. I was 7 years old, and my mother actually knew Walt Disney. She grew up in the same Missouri town that he did (Marceline, near Kansas City) and they were in school at the same time. Her father worked on the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which is said to have inspired Disney's love of trains. Main Street USA at the Anaheim Disneyland was modeled after Marceline's main street.
geez that second lady who was packaging the amphetamine pills seems to have been pretty hooked on them to be describing them as "nutritious" and "good tasting"
I was born that year in August, and I try to make it an annual tradition each year to visit Magic Kingdom Anaheim on my birthday. I met Walt once thanks to my mom for pointing him out to me while at Disneyland in the mid 60s. God bless you Walt.
I grew up in South Pasadena in the mid-50s thru 60s. I still remember how excited my sister and I were when my parents told us we were going to Disneyland one afternoon. I was too small to ride the Matterhorn. 😢 I am now 70.
@@tiamia7139 Back then,the Matterhorn was just a roller coaster inside a shell of the facade mountain...I think it was in the 1980s when they made the caves the coaster went through & added the ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN, or Big foot type monster to that ride.
Both of my parents were professional photographers & my mom was the editor of the free lance photographer magazine. They were invited to many events including the opening of the Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland. Mom & dad got one car, my bro & sis got one car & that left me alone. Long story short... I took the first ever ride on the pirates of the Caribbean with Mr. Walt Disney. Being as my parents were 2 cars behind us there were no photos I have tried over the decades to get a photo with no response or results.
Beloved by millions of children even today. My youngest kid cried when he found out that Walt died. He was four years old, and we were visiting Disneyland. The year was 2011.
that's really what it's all about isn't it, people can spread all the rumors they want about him such is the life of anyone famous, but Walt Disney has a legacy like no other in children's entertainment
@@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou Have you read Mark Shaw's book, " The Reporter Who Knew Too Much"? Amazing story and I absolutely believe she was murdered for "knowing too much", just like her close friend Marilyn Monroe.

Enjoy going back in time with this show. Watched it every week with my grandparents, a nice memory. Found it interesting that the announcer mentioned the new TV series Gunsmoke. We watched that show also from its beginning
I was born in 1969, and I watched Sesame Street a lot as a kid. They had a spoof of this called "What's My Part." There were two episodes, featuring a nose and a foot as the guests. I can see where they get the characters "Bennett Snerf" and "Arlene Frantic," as they really nail these actual panelists in the spoof.

I absolutely adored Walt Disney as a child & when he opened Disney Land it was my fervent wish to go there. With my mom left w/ 7 kids when my dad left her, living with my sweet Nana, it wasn’t even a remote possibility! It unfortunately “still isn’t”🤣lol!(I am 71 yrs old live in Ma, but still my dream & love Disneyland)! Mr Disney was such an extraordinary man & his photos always made me think what a gentle, kind man he was! He also was a visionary!!! Building Disneyland & Disney World, all the wonderful things he did for people & groups that he kept private, his love of his wife & children plus his astute business sense left me in awe, even as a child, of this incredible man! I also used to think how blessed his children were to get a loving father like Mr Disney………..” who also owned DISNEYLAND!!!”😂I loved photos of him with his wife & daughters on the teacup ☕️ ride( how I longed to go on that as a child… still do ha!) or “Dumbo ride”…. always looking so lovingly at his children & wife. He accomplished more in lifetime , than perhaps five to ten people perhaps, might accomplish in theirs! His legacy will live on forever. I so love this video( THIS TRULY IS THE BEST BLOG/SITE /POSTS EVER!!!!! Just love seeing these shows & what an extraordinary job this blog does & a gigantic thank-you to them & to UTUBE for bringing us incredible blogs like this!!! Loved this video so much! ♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜
It saddens me that this show is VASTLY entertaining and is better than anything on commercial television in 2016. We will never see the intelligence, wit, and urbane humor on television or cinema EVER again! Class and civility to burn. More's the pity and what a loss for us!
+Jonathan IT is indeed a shame and I think you will agree that society has suffered horrible as a result of the degradation of Hollywood and TV in general.
Jonathan I have decided to stop watching commercial television, it's increased my memory among other things.. I swear that the TV now almost puts you in a relaxed trance, similar to what some sedative type medications/drugs do. The emotional aspect of this show is incredible to watch and to compare it to the similar types of shows on TV today almost depresses me in a way.. The laughter is real and so are the reactions, unlike anything on TV now
I was 9 days away from entering this world when it aired, Nov. 11, 1956. My Mom was a fan of this show, so chances are I listened to this show once before...
not sure why this popped up in my feed, but having never seen this show (or aware of it's existence) i am saddened that this type of entertainment is forever gone.
The panelists are so refined and wholesome compared with most you would get today. Some aspects of life were definitely better then. And their "mid-Atlantic" accents are noticeable and I approve!

In the early 1960s the show switched to Sunday nights and was renamed "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color." There's an interesting story behind that. Grace Lee Whitney portrayed Yeoman Janice Rand on "Star Trek," which also was on NBC. Remember how colorful the costumes were on that show? RCA owned NBC -- RCA also made and sold color television sets, and wanted to sell people on how wonderful and lively color was compared to black-and-white. No doubt renaming Walt Disney's show was part of that.
Not directly related: on the Disney cable channel I saw reruns of Walt Disney's "Zorro," which were colorized in 1992. Too bad Guy Williams never lived to see them; he died two years earlier.
Brandon Fitzgerald: That “scratch” is annoying, especially in classical music. It’s like a cougher at a concert. Sometimes I miss the size of LP cover art, but not much else.
@@marshallartz395 Lol, same here absolutely annoying, I only ever bought a couple of records because of that, somehow I knew one day the technology would get better and lose the noise!! When CD's came out is when I finally started buying music uninterrupted by hissing and popping 👍
I’m 78 now and grew up with Walt Disney. I wanted to be a Mouseketeer more than anything in my life! My Dad, Bill Lee, was a member of the singing quartet called The Mellomen and they practically lived at the Disney studios creating voices for cartoons. I also had a lengthy studio singing career and was recording at the Disney studios the day he passed away. They canceled the session then. Many were the birthdays I spent at Disneyland and still love any excuse to go there. Rest In Peace, sir, and thank you for everything!
I enjoy the work the Mellomen did on a Daffy Duck cartoon about Halloween, I'm sure you are amazing as was your father
I heard Jerry Lewis was a horrible man 🤔
@@janegrainger3900 I heard he was a wonderful man so....1 to 1.
Wait! Bill Lee, as in the Bill Lee, who did the singing voice for Captain Von Trapp in the sound of music? If so, your dad was a fantastic singer, and I enjoyed his voice very much
@JSandwich13. Nice catch there, “J!” 100% agreed… OK… Lol… 1000%. Bill Lee sounds absolutely gorgeous as Christopher Plumber‘s singing voice in that classic, classic favorite. 🏆 ⭐️ ❤ Your father sang so magnificently! i’m sure you did, too! ( she croaked, having over-sung 😩 &/ e’en more saliently - NOT SLEPT! Yeesh - far too much lately 🙄 ( I sing jazz around NJ - check out RUclips, should you desire)…. .. What fantastic memories for you! Thank you so much for sharing this. & Thanks, as always, to the WML poster here, for these scintillating episodes, which so utterly rock, don’t they, Y’all ? … A simpler era …. Certainly environmentally, that’s for sure! 🌍 😱 … Stay well & safe, All, VCH & Midlantic Theatre Co., Newark, NJ ❤ 🎭 🌊 🌲
Even Walt's signature is a work of art.
True
False
Looked like shit! I expected something close to the paint-stroke font his signature usually resembles.
Have you ever tried to sign your name on a chalkboard? It’s certainly not the easiest thing to do.
Walt couldn't really draw, the Disney look is really the Ub Iwerks look.
I'D NEVER SEEN THIS PROGRAM BEFORE THIS WEEK, BUT SOMEHOW I'M HOOKED.
Totally
same!
I just watched the Gypsy Rose Lee one and I am spiralling down a 'What's My Line' rabbit hole

It was an amazing show...it was when entertainers kept their politics to themselves!!!
Love watching these old episodes. What a great time capsule.
RIP Walt Disney 🙏🏻RIP all of them
I mean they could still technically be alive (probably not) because the oldest human alive was 53 when this aired
I think..not sure... that jerry lewis is still alive ..could be wrong
@@gailsirois7175 Jerry left us a few years back.
Yes I looked it up and discovered he passed in 2017
When this show aired, I was a few hours old. What a world I came into.
I was 10 days old myself
My mom was 4 1/2 years old.
I was 45 years away from being born lmao
I would have turned 2 years old in two days from that date. 😉
My grandma was a few months old when this aired 😅 Born on Groundhog Day in 1956!
Arlene Francis is a total BRAINIAC. So amazing !
Absolutely gorgeous 😊
Disneyland was open just one year and ~5 months when this show was taped. It was nice to see Walt again, savvy and poised he was
and fun to hear the attractions he was working on. I remember when the skyway ("chair lift") opened.
I was born the same month Disneyland opened... I loved seeing the warmth and humanity of Walt Disney (the person) in this setting!

And that wry little smile after he asked. Just wonderful.
Goosebumps right there
@MichaelKingsfordGray imagine living such a miserable life that you need to demean people in RUclips comments in order to feel something.
Crying?? How old are you? Two? Grow up.
8:49 Brilliant burn by the professional mind reader saying that it would be "rather difficult" to read Jerry's "mind".
"I'm in Pittsburgh" I suppose means she's totally lost in darkness. Back in the day people brought a second shirt to work in Pittsburgh to change into after lunch because the smog stained their clothes before too long.
thank you
@@telesphoros you are a life saver
I live in Pittsburgh and can tell you it's def not like that any more, it's actually a very nice place to live.
My grandfather worked in a steel mill in Pittsburgh for 40 years, and I grew up in a house within 5 blocks of the mill. Our porch had a thin layer of soot on it at all times, regardless of the frequency of washing.
@@Theyralltakenfu Catalytic converters and the mills closing have alot to do with that, it used to be worse than China smog is now. I'm an hour from Pitt.
In the 50'es reducing pills, besides vitamins, etc, were containing Amphetamine as well, and they were quite popular. They were forbidden later on, but not before they had ruined a lot of lives. I hope that Lady came out of it in a good way.
Sadly, Hollywood producers often 'forced' their female stars to partake of such drugs (Marilyn Monroe/Judy Garland come to mind), with life-altering effects on the takers....
Indeed. Here's the link to an article titled, "America's First Amphetamine Epidemic 1929-1971".
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2377281/
That article even lists the Pfizer product mentioned in the show, “Amplus”.
Fun fact “Heroin” is originally a brand name as well.
It appears that Mrs.Lawrence only packaged the pills,and did not use them.
Women hooked on speed and Valium, what a society it was
This was the infancy of tv. Very interesting to watch and think about the actual time period they were in.
This is 4 months after Jerry and Dean broke up.
Miss Francis here manages to out-funny Jerry Lewis, and that's a brilliant thing to see.
Miss Kilgallen (Or however you spell it, it's hard to tell with this footage) asks some bloody good questions.
Mr Cerf seems to know basically everyone semi-personally.
This is a damn good line up of panellists.
All the sweeter considering Lewis' abiding dislike of women comedians.
I'm pretty sure, Dorothy guessed a lot of the guests (or helped the other panelists guess) by her intelligent questions May she R I P
Dorothy Kilgallen was one of the sharpest minds in entertainment. Her curious death is still haunting today.
Man, I just found this. When Walt signed that blackboard with his actual signature... it was greatness!
Walt Disney has one of the wealthiest autographs in Hollywood History, because his signature is extremely rare.
Do not purchase any WML signature boards. They are fake !
Stephen Anthony Not sure about that but he was definitely a racist and a misogynist
Walp Disney.
@@jmymurphy Ignore him, man, the guy is a freaking weirdo! 😒

@@donnalynch6845 hi
So good to see him again. I hate to think what he’d think of what’s become of his wonderful work today. Very sad to see the changes in our country. (Jane)😢
The Legend that is Walt Disney 💖
I thought it was interesting that the crowd didn't necessarily recognize him. I mean, in today's world we all grew up knowing what he looked like, but John said he had only been on TV for the past two or three years. Before that, he was only behind the scenes. I find it gloriously fun to see how already, he was greatly loved by everyone, when he was technically a new face to his fans.
True, the next generation would grow seeing Walt on TV every Sunday night but this was an earlier generation who only knew his work, not his face.
@@bentleyr00d see

I watched the Disney show Sunday nights when I was young. Great viewing.
Jerry Lewis is a hoot!
Wow, Jerry Lewis "doesn't she take (diet pills) at any time?!?!"
Pulling no punches, damn.
It was easier to be offensive back then i suppose
My jaw dropped especially when they all laughed. How cruel. She was very playful and was enjoying being there immensely until that. I noticed she didn't stick around for the customary goodbyes. Poor woman.
@@MsPengwn i know right. I was pretty shocked too
Shutterbun,
How rude of a statement he made.
He was a bigot and a racist. I’m disabled and learning about some of the things he said about disabled people while doing work for the MDA is really upsetting.
I just want to say that I grew up in southern California and loved Disneyland we had to travel through farms and orange groves till you saw the Majestic Matterhorn, I remember when Walt passed I was in 6th grade and all California schools closed for the week. and flags flew at half mast. What amazing man.
Yes, we came to run our horses ar Los Alamitos, surrounded by strawberry fields....😪
Glorious wasn't it!
The first one to espy the Matterhorn and know how close we were. Wardlow turned into Ball Rd. and you were there!
Holy cow, he's a mind reader and his son is a professional pickpocket. Dorothy is a savage!
The reporter who knew too much.
I saw this when it aired. My family usually watched it every week. I was 7 years old, and my mother actually knew Walt Disney. She grew up in the same Missouri town that he did (Marceline, near Kansas City) and they were in school at the same time. Her father worked on the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which is said to have inspired Disney's love of trains. Main Street USA at the Anaheim Disneyland was modeled after Marceline's main street.
Hello Sharon, How are you doing?
Wow. Thanks for sharing.
Little connections like that are so neat! My grandma went to school with Jerry Lewis but they were in different grades and he didn’t know her.
Thanks for sharing, that is neat. 🙂

@@TheBoobanShe was a investigative reporter for years 😊
geez that second lady who was packaging the amphetamine pills seems to have been pretty hooked on them to be describing them as "nutritious" and "good tasting"
As a child of the 60's Walt Disney was my hero. I loved that man.
I was born that year in August, and I try to make it an annual tradition each year to visit Magic Kingdom Anaheim on my birthday. I met Walt once thanks to my mom for pointing him out to me while at Disneyland in the mid 60s. God bless you Walt.

You have been lied to. Walt was not beloved, he was racist the whole time. We have been betrayed and lied to by our leaders. Walt was a racist.
I grew up in South Pasadena in the mid-50s thru 60s. I still remember how excited my sister and I were when my parents told us we were going to Disneyland one afternoon. I was too small to ride the Matterhorn. 😢 I am now 70.
@@jessicathethreestoogesfan2635 Everyone was racist during those times.
@@tiamia7139 Back then,the Matterhorn was just a roller coaster inside a shell of the facade mountain...I think it was in the 1980s when they made the caves the coaster went through & added the ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN, or Big foot type monster to that ride.
It's been over 60 years ago when this happened, never would have they imagined that we will watch & enjoy this show now..
Walt Disney passed away 50 years ago, 12/15/66.
I had just turned 10 yrs 4 days prior

God this show remains as fresh as it was when I was a kid-B & W or color, it matters not...It really was an entertaining time. Wow...
It's truly a great historical time capsule.
Ah yes, one of the most fun game show moments of this show. The diet pills! Then we got Uncle Walt! What a gift.
This just makes my heart burst wide open!!!!! TV was magical and innocent back then
Hello Heather, How are you doing?
P
This is actually a really good show.
Its great because when audience laugh it's because someone actually said something funny.
A fantastic show😊
5:04 was a perfect representation of Jerry ability to do comedy off the cuff. Made an ever so slightly awkward moment into the audience laughing
Both of my parents were professional photographers & my mom was the editor of the free lance photographer magazine. They were invited to many events including the opening of the Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland. Mom & dad got one car, my bro & sis got one car & that left me alone. Long story short... I took the first ever ride on the pirates of the Caribbean with Mr. Walt Disney. Being as my parents were 2 cars behind us there were no photos I have tried over the decades to get a photo with no response or results.
I love all of the old shows. So much better than what we have today!
Amen.
Absolutely! You're right there.
Thank goodness we have them here!
I remember learning of his death from the news on television in the sixties. He was the first person for whom I wept at the learning of a death.
Beloved by millions of children even today. My youngest kid cried when he found out that Walt died. He was four years old, and we were visiting Disneyland. The year was 2011.
u mean Pedoland?
? 1966
Being that Walt Disney died in 1966, someone should have told him much earlier than 2011.
that's really what it's all about isn't it, people can spread all the rumors they want about him such is the life of anyone famous, but Walt Disney has a legacy like no other in children's entertainment
@@dr.med.1389 Is that why YOU go to Disneyland?
Its funny to think that in "101 Dalmatians" they put a parody of this programm called "What is my crime?"

@@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou Have you read Mark Shaw's book, " The Reporter Who Knew Too Much"? Amazing story and I absolutely believe she was murdered for "knowing too much", just like her close friend Marilyn Monroe. Shaw's follow-up book "Collateral Damage" explains the connections with the deaths of JFK, MM, and Dorothy Kilgallen.
There was great respect for Walt in Jerry's eyes. You could see it when they shook hands.
Or maybe Jerry just knew the deep dark truth about Walt Disney that is about to be coming out for all to hear and see, sadly.

Walt Disney was a classic in movie and it was a pleasure to watch this video
Jerry basically asked walt if he's paying his taxes. Lmfaoooo
I know and you could almost see Walt being like "wtf dude" in his body language after lol.
Enjoy going back in time with this show. Watched it every week with my grandparents, a nice memory. Found it interesting that the announcer mentioned the new TV series Gunsmoke. We watched that show also from its beginning
I don’t think Walt Disney would recognize his Fantasy World. It used to be a family fun vacation place and his movies family oriented. Not any more.
I was born in 1969, and I watched Sesame Street a lot as a kid. They had a spoof of this called "What's My Part." There were two episodes, featuring a nose and a foot as the guests. I can see where they get the characters "Bennett Snerf" and "Arlene Frantic," as they really nail these actual panelists in the spoof.
Last night i rewatched saving mr banks, this made me cry again. That movie made me love him so much more than I thought I already did

Building Disneyland & Disney World, all the wonderful things he did for people & groups that he kept private, his love of his wife & children plus his astute business sense left me in awe, even as a child, of this incredible man!

Go, my dear. Don't wait any longer! I'm 78 and qualified to say it-- go there!
It saddens me that this show is VASTLY entertaining and is better than anything on commercial television in 2016. We will never see the intelligence, wit, and urbane humor on television or cinema EVER again! Class and civility to burn. More's the pity and what a loss for us!
So true
+Jonathan IT is indeed a shame and I think you will agree that society has suffered horrible as a result of the degradation of Hollywood and TV in general.
Jonathan Hop over here to the UK, our panel and chat shows are excellent these days
Jonathan I have decided to stop watching commercial television, it's increased my memory among other things.. I swear that the TV now almost puts you in a relaxed trance, similar to what some sedative type medications/drugs do. The emotional aspect of this show is incredible to watch and to compare it to the similar types of shows on TV today almost depresses me in a way.. The laughter is real and so are the reactions, unlike anything on TV now
Jonathan-Amen brother!:)
I was 9 days away from entering this world when it aired, Nov. 11, 1956. My Mom was a fan of this show, so chances are I listened to this show once before...
I was one MONTH away from being born !!
One of my favorite game shows as a kid.
All of our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them ~ Walt Disney
One question: What does that quote mean?
And after the show the diet pill lady never watched a Jerry Lewis telethon ever .
I know he's a comedian, but how he was. As if she didn't hear comments like that every day in high school...
Lewis was a low class bully..
Imagine a comedian saying something like that to a contestant today on a game show. The world would end for him.
Jerry Lewis never made me laugh. Such a dope.
People werent as sensitive to this stuff back then. The truth did not offend.
"Walt did you check with the government and see if they need any money lately?"
🤣💀
Jerry Lewis is so entertaining just sitting there. Don't know what it is, just a twitch and it's funny.
“The only female that didn’t say anything was the dog!” didn’t get much applause and it’d get even less today, haha
