I just adored Garry Moore, loved I've Got a Secret, and his TV show with sidekick Durwood Kirby and Carol Burnett was on his show, too! Mr. Moore was a lovely individual in my opinion!
There is a Nancy Weis Emsley listed as living in the Tidewater area of Virginia with a former Illinois address in the Chicago suburbs. Her age is listed as 80+ which would be in the right ballpark! Further digging shows her as age 81 and born in November 1936. Based on other information available on the Internet (e.g. father's obituary), this would appear to be the same person who appeared on this episode of WML.
9/27/59 was the last day of the regular baseball season. Presumably the last challenger was taking tickets for the World Series games to be played at Comiskey Park on the south side of Chicago, not too far from Aurora (IL). The White Sox had clinched the AL pennant, their first since 1919, on Tuesday (9/22) with a 4-2 victory in Cleveland over the second place Indians. But after 154 regularly scheduled games, the NL pennant hadn't been decided. For the third time, the NL race ended in a tie. The Dodgers were involved in all three. The Dodgers were finishing the season in Chicago, perfect for the World Series scheduled to open in Chicago. They had a one game lead over the Braves going into Saturday's games. But the Cubs pounded the Dodgers 12-2, while the Braves just up the road in Milwaukee pushed over a run in the bottom of the 8th to edge the Phillies 3-2. It was a classic pitching duel between two future Hall of Fame members with Warren Spahn besting Robin Roberts. That set the stage for Sunday's action. The Dodgers broke in front early and coasted to a 7-1 win. In Milwaukee, the Braves were tied 1-1 going into the bottom of the 7th when they scored 3 unearned runs to break the game open and force a playoff with a 5-2 win. The Dodgers would go on to complete their rebound from a 7th place finish in 1958 to sweep the defending NL Champion Braves two straight. After flying all the way to L.A. for game two of the tie-breaking playoffs, a weary Dodger team lost at Comiskey Park 11-0 in Game One of the World Series before 48,013 paying customers (presumably many of whom had gotten their tickets with the help of Nancy Weis, the final challenger). But the Dodgers would go on to win the World Series, 4 games to 2, winning both of the remaining games that were played in Chicago. And they were the last World Series games played at that park.
"And now let's meet our award-winning What's My Line? panel. First the delightful star of stage and television, Miss Dorothy Kilgallen." Ah, the joys of live television. What was that again?
soulierinvestments and romeman01 and 16Lizards and ***** That's the second time I know of that the announcer made that mistake. I remember commenting about it the first time.
Ben Gazzara in his early luscious period. Oh my yes. Elaine Stritch once said that she nearly married him but dumped him for an infatuation with Rock Hudson. "And we all know," she said of that, "what a bum decision that turned out to be." Well, you know. Live and learn.
M. M. "Body and Soul" www.imdb.com/title/tt0566693/?ref_=ttep_ep6 Season 3, episode 1 of The DuPont Show of the Month. Ben played a young boxer whose crooked promoter is involved with gangsters. Adapted from the 1947 movie starring John Garfield.
The aquatic mammals that are trained to perform tricks are typically sea lions rather than seals. I can tell you that in many locales where there are piers, sea lions frequently are a nuisance. Nonetheless, they are smart and learn to do tricks quite readily in exchange for food.
At 23:12, while Arlene is asking questions you can see Ben Gazzara's arm move over to rest on the back of Arlene's chair. It remains there until at least 23:45, when the questioning passes to Bennett.
At the video point of 14:00 I did not like on how Mr. Cerf stated his question "Do these animals serve a useful purpose?" All animals serve a useful purpose.
With John Daly, Garry Moore was about the best host G-T ever hired. His extensive activities hinted her did burn him out by 1964, when he left I've Got a Secret and [I think] his variety show.
Well Mrs. Barbara Morris the seal trainer is tall and it's not from high heels, it's her stature that tells. You can tell her profession is of a physical nature. I think I would love her job training seals. More like recreation than work, maybe.
Dorothy's intro was "The delightful star of stage and television".....I though that was usually Arlene's intro. Did the announcer get his notes mixed up?
Purple Capricorn Yup, it was a screw up, and thank you for leaving this comment, because I've wanted to pull this out as a clip but I long ago forgot which episode this happened in! Pretty funny gaffe, especially for regular viewers.
What's My Line? No problem. I'm enjoying watching this show. It's fun seeing how people were then. I think I may watch another game show from this era.
Purple Capricorn I started a new channel for "To Tell the Truth" just this month. If you're interested: ruclips.net/channel/UCZkBUfTQ_tmKAlUV_sQqrTQfeatured
Some odd calculations about time in this episode. At 9:00 John explains that Conn makes 300 tubas a month, and they take about six hours to test. So Mr. Stoneburner must have several colleagues in the tuba test lab. Even if he worked 8-hour days including weekends he could only do about 40 a month by himself. Then at 20:54 John mentions that Garry is doing 1700 or 1800 hours of television a week....
+Neil Midkiff Here's one more odd time calculation for you. John Daly says that Nancy Weis will be taking ticket orders for the World Series for the next three weeks. Even with a best of 3 NL playoff pushing back the start of the World Series, had the Series gone 7 games (it went 6), the latest the Series would end, barring rain outs, would have Friday, October 9 in Chicago. That's less than two weeks, from the date of this telecast. The only way John's remark would have been accurate is if this was one of the pre-taped episodes. But any baseball fan at home watching would have been scratching their head.
Since when are seals not useful for anything? I would think residents of cold climates use their blubber and bones for various purposes while drying their meat for food. They are food to killer whales, polar bears, and large sharks. All creatures have some function in the ecosystem wherein they dwell. Daly was being careless on this one.
Lovely show - I try to ration my viewings, because I'll run out of them. But I so wish we had this quality of show these days, preferably minus the wolf-whistles - which date it badly. But apart from that quibble - civilized, intelligent, funny, entertaining, literate: all things you so rarely find today. And I love the crackling tension between Dorothy Kilgallen and John Daly. These great characters are so missed.
What seals would they be?! I thought all seals spend more time in water than on land. Or were they for entertainment forced to spend more time on land?
you would think with thousands of ordinary and mystery guests over the years, being human, John would have let the cat out of the bag at least once. But I have never seen it happen.
John gets on my nerves a lot. He gave away too much for the last contestant and a ticket is a product. This is one reason i think he never wanted to be on the panel, he probably would never guess it correctly. So he didn't to save face.
Thank you for posting this; this episode was broadcast the night I was born.

Just to help out others searching on the name: it's Durward Kirby, not Durwood.

John annoyingly bamboozled Dorothy around 15 minutes. It was agreed it was a land animal, and I'd say seals do hang out mostly at the water.

Yeah, second time... .. lmao
romeman01 I thought I was the only one who caught that. "Star of stage"? She wishes. Those who can't do write.
I love how Mr. Cerf invariably explores name, geographic or audience associations, none of which hardly ever yields useful fruit.
Both ladies on the panel are dressed so lovely and elegantly, so very feminine!
The tuba man was such a happy man. 😁
He was a great guest! I would have enjoyed hearing more from him.

Yeah, I never knew Ben was so good looking back then. And what program was he going to do the following night?

Yes, even alligators serve a purpose as they gobble up other sea life, land animals, and humans who get too close to their habitat, Edwin, LOL!
Strange to get offended at something someone said 60 years ago.
I have had several cats that served no useful purpose.
Yes thank you

"Glenn Stoneburner" is a very cool name.
It's probably a translation into English of the German name "Steinbrenner" according to Ancestry.com.
With John Daly, Garry Moore was about the best host G-T ever hired. His extensive activities hinted her did burn him out by 1964, when he left I've Got a Secret and [I think] his variety show.
And then he came back to TTTT in the '70s!!

Dorothy looks lovely
Goodness I turnéd 16 that year!!
That's odd the announcer announced Dorothy kilgallen with Francis's intro: and now the star of stage & television..
The tuba tester looked like a tuba tester.
*_Tests Tubas_*
*_Seal Trainer_*
*_Fills Orders For World Series Tickets_*
Arlene and Bennett knew before Gary even stepped out who the mystery guess was,!!!

Elaine Stritch and Ben Gazzara were in a relationship early in their careers. Elaine later said that she regretted letting him get away.
And then she sang, "Here's to the ladies who lunch..." with that sense of regret than only she could do.
Jocko De Paris on the panel...
Seals don't spend more time in the water than on land ????
First guest looks a bit like William Bendix
What seals would they be?! I thought all seals spend more time in water than on land. Or were they for entertainment forced to spend more time on land?
What happened to the chin of Ms Kilgallen? It's just not there.
Was this "Big Gal Contestant Night"?
05:25 Daly gave it away, saved it.. whoa!
Lars Rye Jeppesen Saw that too...music parts.
you would think with thousands of ordinary and mystery guests over the years, being human, John would have let the cat out of the bag at least once. But I have never seen it happen.
in a later episode, he did mess up once, when he inadvertently revealed that Steve Allen was the MG
150 police chiefs
Pretty classy of Dorothy to pass when she had recognized her husband but didn't want to spoil the game for the rest of the contestants.
John gets on my nerves a lot. He gave away too much for the last contestant and a ticket is a product. This is one reason i think he never wanted to be on the panel, he probably would never guess it correctly. So he didn't to save face.
