What's My Line? - LOST EPISODE CLIP! Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis (Jan 24, 1954)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- Here's the only snippet known to exist from the Jan 24, 1954 episode with Martin and Lewis, probably the single "most wanted" lost episode of WML (along with the Jul 31, 1955 episode with Ty Cobb. I think I'd vote for the 1951 show with Chico, or the Sept 25, 1955 episoe with Jackie Gleason in costume as Ralph Kramden!) This clip comes from the "WML at 25" special aired in 1975; the presumption over the years has been that the film of the full episode was damaged in the process of using it for the special, but we don't really know that to be the case.
Unlike most of the 100 or so lost episodes, there's good reason to believe that this one will turn up one day, thanks to Jerry Lewis's known mania for self-documenting every aspect of his career. It wouldn't be at all surprising if he requested a copy of the show for his own archive.
Unfortunately, even if this is the case, his materials were donated to the Library of Congress in 2015, and nothing gets out of the Library of Congress. But it would still be nice to know if it's there. . .

This isn't really anything "new"-- there's another video of this clip that was posted elsewhere a long time ago. But I thought it worth posting this copy which is in better video quality. Let's hope the full episode turns up in Jerry Lewis's collection at the Library of Congress!

Hi Gary--
I sent you a message through the RUclips private messages system, am trying to ascertain if I may send and receive messages that way.
Previously, we had communicated a few times through the RUclips private messages system. But the site has been changed a few times since and with a few others besides yourself I seem unable to use the system anymore.
Someone once posted publicly (like this here) he had tried to write me privately but received an error message that my RUclips account was not set up to receive messages. So I want to at least try to configure my account correctly once and for all, if that is even possible. Of course it is useless to expect to receive any live help directly from Google, the owner of RUclips.
Please let me know back here if you DIDN'T receive the private message.
If you DID receive the private message, then you may respond accordingly there.
It is also possible you may see my sent message but I may not receive and be able to view a reply, which is why I requested you send me an email message (I provided my email address in coded form) if you receive the private RUclips message from me.
You are the only person with whom I have communicated privately on RUclips more than once and also trust to do this correctly.
Ultimately, I would like to chat with you about some "What's My Line?" stuff, too. But right now I need to deal with the basics.
I will remove this post once I have resolved this issue. But this is the only method of which I could immediately think that might produce some results. Could John Charles have worded this any more precisely, or Dorothy concocted a scenario in which results could be determined any more quickly?
Thank you, in advance, for this. It is very important to me to have my lines of communication open, at least to those with who I wish to communicate and who need to be able to do likewise.
Not only are the private messages notifications completely borked on RUclips (that's been the case for a LONG time), at this point, I don't receive any notifications whatsoever from RUclips for 90% of the public comments on this channel anymore, not even comments like yours that are directly REPLYING to one of my comments. So thank you, again, RUclips, for making everything as impossible as you can, and for helping to create the impression-- who knows how often, since I don't get notifications-- that I just don't care to respond to people. Evry change they've made since I started has made things worse. Every single one. So thank you again, RUclips. . . SO VERY MUCH.
I do see the private message now-- I just didn't have any way to know it was there. And it's pure luck I happened to see your comment to me here-- I only saw it because RUclips notified me of someone ELSE'S new comment on this video, not yours, which was a DIRECT REPLY. It makes me so angry, especially considering how awful the comments on RUclips generally are. It's really helping matters to make it literally impossible for channel owners to even TRY to police the comments.
Rant over-- I got your message and will drop an email. I'm pretty crazy busy and stressed lately, though, so fair warning and advance apologies! Good to hear from you. --WGW
I submitted an inquiry to the Library of Congress, asking whether the complete episode exists in Jerry Lewis' collection. They reported that only the mystery guest segment exists (Game 2) - but it may be a longer excerpt than the one presented here. Receiving materials from LoC isn't as difficult as you think. You only need copyright approval, and to pay the film-to-video transfer fees.
@@mattwheeler2511 No, actually, it's a lot more difficult than you're aware. How does one obtain "copyright approval" for something that's not copyrighted? You can't. And that means the LOC won't release it, period. I've run into brick walls trying to get permission to listen to the couple of the WML radio shows they have on disc ON SITE, solely for research purposes for a book on WML. This sort of research shouldn't require permission from anyone even if the material WERE copyrighted, but when it's not, it's the height of absurdity that the LOC, which is responsible for the administration of copyright filings, requires permission be granted from a non-existent copyright holder to do RESEARCH.
@@WhatsMyLine I don't mean to initiate an argument. I shared my personal experiences with onsite research at, and obtaining copies from LOC. I never needed copyright approval for an on-site viewing copy. If I myself wanted a copy of an item not copyrighted, the librarians required a copyright search to prove that no registration exists. I can't say I've encountered a situation like what you describe. Maybe the donor restricted the collection.
Jerry when he was with Dean seemed happier than when he was alone, what a strong friendship
You need to read the book written by Groucho Marx's son.
He felt more secure, probably.
Jerry and Dean both seemed happier. I mean they just glowed when they were together. A light went out when they parted and it's very noticeable
people shoul stop trashing Jerry's humor. that's how he was all the time and i loved how him and dean balanced each other. that's why we loved them as a duo so dearly
Exactly! They played off each other so perfectly. They were lcloser than brothers, that was a lot of their appeal. They adored one another and it showed and people ate it up. They really were magical!
Love how we're left to try to picture just quite how loud and excited their entrance was
I love how Dean was just like "okay Jerry you do a girl voice"
I loved the movies that Jerry and Dean did, I watched so many of them and they were just wonderful
Priceless thank God for film all these wonderful talent actors wonderful to watch.
Found Dean Martin's subtle laid back humour funnier than Jerry Lewis childishness
Never cared for the “comedy “ of Lewis
THEYLL NEVER GUESS WHO WE ARE NOW 🤣🤣🤣
When I was a little kid back in the 50s, I absolutely adored Jerry Lewis.
All I can say is one thing......"I LIKE IT, I LIKE IT"!!🤪
Well said 🤣🤣🤣
How adorable was Deans warm chuckle @1.11? I surely can’t be the only person who would give anything (even my lifetime addiction to chocolate!! 🍫) to see this whole episode. Or at least this complete segment in its entirety.
OMG THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT! I didn’t catch it, but just played it back again, and heard it...Deansy’s my baby boy-his giggle is like a ray of sunshine to me! ❤️❤️❤️
Bobby Brady No, I don’t like nuts, I prefer milk chocolate (the only ‘nut’ I DO like is the one I’m married to 😉) But to be able to see Dean in person, in a live show? - you betcha, ‘Pally’! 🤗👌🤵🏽
SAMEEEEEE :((((
Thank you so much for posting this. I love JL and adore the Martin & Lewis phase of his career. In this clip he is so cute like a Disney character. While he is multi-faceted in his talents, this one is my favorite ❣
Oh my gosh!!! I’m so glad this found me! I wish I could see the whole clip!!!!
With Dean Martin born in 1917 and Jerry Lewis passing away in 2017, combined they lived a FULL CENTURY...🍺😎👍
Which means he died after Dean’s 100th birthday
How I miss them..♥️
Thanks. Great memory.
Priceless!!
One of the most hilarious moments in the history of "WML"!
i'm still not over the fact we might never see the full episode of this one :( it seems one of the most fun ones... it breaks my heart
good luck and i will continue to follow you in 2018
good luck and keep up the good work in 2018
I really hope one day we will be able to watch the whole Episode. if it's indeed in Library of Congress, is there ANY way to somehow "get it out" of there?
Breaking in, take it out
How come it's not on RUclips? All the rest are
Call Nicolas Cage
It lost somewhere i don't know.
I am curious did either Mr. Jerry or Dean appear on What's My Line multiple times, or is this their only episode. Thank you for sharing the video again.
Lewis appeared a few times, both as guest and on the panel. l think this is the only time Martin appeared on the show.
@@buyvital: I agree with you
Jerry Lewis stole the show with one line
What else was new about that ? An obnoxious ham.
@@scotnick59 it’s ironic that the true embodiment of obnoxious is to post a negative comment about someone else’s enjoyment.
@@scotnick59jerry was not obnoxious, just insanely talented and he worked endlessly for everything he had.
Great stuff.
Lewis & Martin were the 4th duo/group (more than one head). They were game 2.
This was the 2nd episode with more than one MG game (panel masked). Game 3 was actor Guy Madison as MG.
Game 1 was female Scottish kilt maker from CA.
God I love the “daddy” Jerry but the twinky Jerry was irresistible 💦
Jerry hated when Dean got more laughs than he did. He pretty must got the writers to take away funny lines, so that he would get the laughs. It's one of the major reasons they broke up. Plus Jerry told Dean that he was nothing without him.
Not even close
"Martin started to feel that Lewis was exerting too much control over their work and began to talk of returning to his solo career. Lewis, who still idolized Martin in many ways, felt betrayed, and before long the two stopped speaking."
I regard anything that Jerry Lewis said after Dean Martin died as revisionist.
Also the real Jerry Lewis was much more like buddy love than the daffy funny childman he portrayed.
Lewis was also tremendously strong for his size and could do circus performer type feats.
Lewis was also estranged from all of his children while Martin had a close relationship with his children. If I had to pick one to be friends with, it would have been Martin.
And I loved his TV show when I was growing up.
While I recognize Lewis as a tremendously funny and talented man, there's just something off about him for me.
To bad this episode was lost two of my favorite stars
I wanted to see the whole thing!
I'm curious, What's My Line, which years in general are the lost episodes from, and who, if you happen to know, were some of the mystery guests?
I do enjoy this channel very much, and if it weren't for my aversion to social media ( you're never quite the same after you've been spoofed and defamed by a couple of determined Facebook sociopaths ), would be a part of your Facebook group.
Almost all the lost episodes are from before July 1952, which is when Goodson-Todman began keeping their own archive of the films. There are only around a dozen shows thought to be completely lost from after 1952. Because I just happened to have been polling the members of the Facebook group about "which lost ep you'd give your firstborn child to see," I have a list of all the lost eps handy, sitting on Dropbox, if you want to take a look at it!
Lost eps list: www.dropbox.com/s/uo8z11wfqx6khf1/WML%20Lost%20Episodes.txt?dl=0
Glad you enjoy the channel-- and I understand aversion to social media completely. Probably needless to say, the WML group is not like anything you'd expect from Facebook. But I'm not trying to convince you. :)
@@WhatsMyLine Hello, would you be so kind to repost the lost episodes list? Thank you!
Classic: Jerry broke up the segment and then broke up with Dean in '56, only to be reunited by Frank on his MDA Telethon in '76.
They were too hot to last.
This I WANT to see
I bet that audience erupted. Dean surprised Johnny Carsons audience once so that’s available to watch. But these two as a group were at the peak of their fame here. Dean would only get better and better
Too funny...!
Sweet Lewis
Here’s throwing a curve ball. Getting a snippet of 1972 never released The day the clown cried. Jerry Lewis directed and starred
Jerry Lewis was so full of himself his entire career. He had no clue what the word humble was.
Jerry Lewis....even though I still love The Nutty Professor....has been ruined for me having watched so many interviews where he was jawdroppingly obnoxious. What a shame. He performs brilliantly but he had the personality of Buddy Love off-camera too it seems.
So true and Dean was very patient , until he had enough .
After Dean left him, Jerry was pretty much blackballed
On You tube
There are more plaisant interviews of JL than obnoxious ones as you say.
Like Groucho, Jerry didn’t know when to quit. I remember watching CinderFella as a child, and the schtick got old fast. 🙄
Someone think this guy is like a Mr Bean?
Dean was much funnier than Jerry.
Jerry Lewis was a ridiculous, very bad man. Terrible man, and i never found him funny.
Lol..classic
Jerry's EGO! He has to assert himself and say it's me me me.
Sorry, I don't get the humor the two of them put out.
I saw a actress who worked as a co star with Lewis and she says she was raped by him.. she sounded very convincing too.. and many people have said Lewis was a mean man away from the cameras..
Love martin hate lewis
