  • What's My Line's blindfolded panelists Dorothy Kilgallen, Arlene Francis and Bennett Cerf attempt to identify their personal secretaries. Along for the ride, in the fourth chair, is Peter Lawford.
    This clip can certainly be enjoyed on it's own but it takes on more significance when combined with my true crime blog entry that deals with the accidental death of Albert Rodecker.

    I'm obsessed with this show, I love it so much. It's old, and it's vintage with its values, but the humor is just as humanly fresh today as it was back then, and I find myself constantly laughing out loud, which almost *never* happens when I watch anything else...
    Thanks for posting! 😊

      Just out of curiosity, how old are you because I'm in my twenties and this is the kind of TV I love. I admit I also love programs like The Sopranos and true crime. But it's really nice to just see this class and wholesomeness

      @SomethingSomethingg I'm 64 years old. This show premiered before I was even born, and while I could have watched it in the early 60s, my parents were more into The Twilight Zone and the Jackie Gleason Show, lol
      I didn't start watching these shows regularly until they came to YT, here
      It's great you like them, too! Doesn't matter how old you are.
      You listen, read, watch, and dance to whoever/whatever YOU want to and don't listen to others because it's what makes you unique! 👍✨️👍✨️👍

    Lawford was a better game show panelist than actor. He could hold his own with the regulars. Later in his decline after Sinatra booted him from the Clan, Lawford most of his living from games.

    Most of the questions were of a general nature trying to pin down the occupation, so how did Bennet come up with the very precise question at the end about a connection to the panel when his previous questions were just as random as the others? Maybe he recognized the voice of his own secretary, but it just seemed way too precise a question.

    • @esmeephillips5888
      @esmeephillips5888 Год назад

      But failure to recognize close subordinates- genuinely or otherwise- implies that the three panelists were kind of aloof from the help. Whether it was a fix or not, it does not reflect well on the employers.

    • @stremendous73
      @stremendous73 8 месяцев назад +1

      I think because when they go on and on and don't get closer to the answer or when the audience laughs so loudly at certain answers, it sometimes tips off the panel to one of John Daly's and the producers' favorite tricks: Bringing in someone (or multiple people) from the panelists' lives. But, yes, it is true that the tone or word choices in the last answers by his secretary might have piqued his curiosity or rang a bell with him.

      No, because if all three had been seated the two in back would’ve been difficult to see. Furthermore, the two standing women had to be able to lean forward to get closer to the microphone to answer.

      They are, except in the case of mystery guests. Then they guess the person's identity and their occupation becomes obvious.
