    Since watching WML on YT this past year, Arlene has become my role model. She was full of charm and grace and yet cheeky too. But she knew how to mange people. A beautiful lady. I adore Dorothy Killgallen too. Beautiful clever women. Rest in power lovely ladies. ❤❤

      Agreed. Amazing how well this show holds up today. And Arlene was remarkable at sniffing out the contestants. A remake of this show would probably fail, because it would be impossible to match the chemistry and brains of these two lovely people.

    This ignores the terrific contribution, wit, brains, and determination to get the answer, for Dorothy Kilgallen. Less than 2 years after her tragic death, the show was canceled. This was no coincidence! I also have to add Steve Allen and Bennett Cerf for rounding out the best game-show panel in tv history. John C. Daly, was the best host. All together, the finest game show tv has ever enjoyed! It had everything! Fun, intelligence, wit, famous special guests, and many surprises to try to fool the panel! Never surpassed or even remotely approached as a game show. R.I.P., "What's My Line?", 17 (1950-1967).

    I had to stop watching around the minute and a half point. Not sure why a video like this needs a musical score and accompaniment, but...Paula I know you think this enhances the viewing, but I'm afraid that it only distracts - so much so that I just had to stop watching because I found it hard to concentrate and even hear what was being spoken. Sometimes when you're a cook in the kitchen, you just sometimes add yet another spice and end up ruining the dinner. This video would stand on its own without any music.

    Daly was known for his vicious temper and was known to put poor Dorothy "No Chin" Kilgallen in headlocks before the show. Professional curmudgeon Henry Morgan made fun of Bennet Cerf on live TV once and Daly punched him in the nuts backstage. He also ordered the execution of Fred Allen in 1956 because the latter owed the former $5 in gambling debts.
