    With the interruption part, Dorothy is very strong with finding the answers to what the line is. Cerf was wanting to see if he could figure it out himself. That is completely reasonable for himself to try to quiet her. And it's not unreasonable for her to be so jumpy either. Honestly, I just see it as them being lively and proactively engaged. They have personal interest.

    According to Bennett Cerf, he, Arlene & John Daly had to be careful about what they said when they chatted during downtime. Dorothy thought of herself as a reporter first and a panellist second. A couple of times she wrote about some of their conversations, which were shared in confidence, in her newspaper column. John Daly was furious.

    With your permission, I would say this: I have reason to believe that circumstances would dictate that in the event of an uncomfortable moment wholly in and of itself, per se, as pertains to the appreciation of such a show as this; it is a foregone conclusion that one may or may not in fact surmise that a singular moment as part of a series of moments in this form of what may be described as a panel show in which one would not necessarily deem such a particular incident as uncomfortable, as dictated by the agreed upon definition within the parameters of said reference to the state of a viewer, either at home or in the audience, and in matter of fact, also including the panelists and host, as not to forego the purveyor of such remark or action that in turn, and as a consequence would be seen to have an effect which could be described in part, as uncomfortable.

Now if producers COULD bring it back a little...so youngsters COULD enjoy it too, without parents cringing at extremely inappropriate questions and answers..(uh um... Family Feud) I think the audience is definitely READY for it..you know a little tact goes a LONG way. And the game shows today had DEFINITELY missed the boat.

It was a routine she and I had...and I loved the re-runs. Fascinating indeed!! This was back when actors definitely had much respect for one another, before this entitled generation came about and changed everything. I love this show, and no matter how hard anyone tries, they will never be able to bring this back successfully the way it was originally done.

      No one knows what the real story was. It could have been a sneeze, a mini-stroke, a migraine-type reaction to the lights, inebriation, or any combination of the above.

    This was a good compilation. To this day I can't watch Henry Morgan on any game show without thinking of his horribly boorish behavior. I would have included two more: The one where Arlene has figured out that Jerry Lewis is the mystery guest and asks him if he was "the funnier of the two" (i.e funnier than Dean Martin). The other one was when Red Skelton was the mystery guest. He made a reference to Cuba after which Dorothy commented that Fidel Castro's son reputedly didn't like girls.

Bennett thought that he was being funny by mocking The Beatles, but Brian was clearly made to feel uncomfortable.

    The biggest awkward moment for John Daly was surely when he named the mystery guest, Mr Allen / Steve Allen, before the panel had guessed his identity. When you're trying hard not to say something it often happens that your mind fixates on that and your mouth falls into the trap. Steve Allen was quick-witted enough to cover the mistake with a joke but it made me shudder - memories of bad job interviews came back to torment me!

      I may be wrong in trying to sum this up and before I say this, I'd just like to point out that I'm on you side totally. Anyway, here's what I think: I think it's because it's just easier and quicker to just spit it out than to spend a lot of time thinking it over. Act now, ask questions later, you know? I also am lead to think that some people believe that "class" is pretty much a synonym for "phoniness." People seem to love it when the "real" person comes out instead of their "make-believe" self. It's like the audience is saying, "Finally! Someone who thinks like I do! Someone who's just like me!" There seems to be more of that than there was back then. Oh, I believe it was going on back then too, only it was carefully held back in fear that they might offend someone. Today, it seems as though even though they still do it, the envelope has been pushed too far, but today's audience can take it and fully embrace it. They're more liberal now and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Personally, I just wished they'd tone it down a bit, that's all.
