I just wanted to thank you again for uploading all of these programs. Each one is such a simple, enjoyable experience; and shows that it doesn't take complex computer graphics, violence or vulgar family drama to be truly entertaining.
I think the major impact on it being such a relaxing watch is the lack of music. I'm a musician, music teacher and composer so I appreciate just hearing spoken word in entertainment after a hard day! Today's television has barely any moment between dialogue when incidental music or a jingle doesn't fill the ap.
👍
Well put! Here I am in 2022 watching a show from well over 60 years ago that still has the power to transcend time and thoroughly entertain!
@@davidsanderson5918 Hear! Hear! Today you can't even watch a doc without stupid music in the middle of a desert for some reason. I find the music in most movies, that aren't musicals of course, to be distracting and unnecessary.
A great movie No Country for Old Men had no sound track. Much to its credit.
I love so many of Arlene's funny remarks, such as "Well, what is his telephone number?" at 12:21 when she learns what Mr. Byers does. She had such a great sense of humor, all in keeping with having fun as a panelist in playing the game. I almost always like people who don't take themselves too seriously and I like myself best when I don't.
ToddSF 94109 Arlene looks good in this episode, an earlier one.
The 1950s were certainly a different time. The male panelists (and the moderator) were completely unashamed in primarily valuing the physical beauty of the female contestants, whereas the female panelists were completely unashamed in primarily valuing the men for their money and their muscles.

Apparently, Ms Kilgallen had a reputation of not being easy to like, but I love her wide smile and admire her investigative talents.
Lauren Bacall certainly ended up hating her because of the lies she put around regarding Bogart around his passing.
Call it the diva complex... On stage it's all fine and dandy, away from the camera's its all overdramatisation....
Frank Sinatra had 'issues' with her too. But then if you're going to write a column called The Frank Sinatra Story and the revelations are not appreciated by Frank, well.....I don't know any more details than that, have to say.
Anyway. Personally I think she's delightful.
I like Arlene so much better...she's very pleasant!
@@Retroscoop, explain that a little deeper, please.
Chuck Dressen was manager for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Panelist Abe Burrows won a Pulitzer Prize for "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying".
Also the father of James Burrows, co-creator of Cheers.
He also managed the Detroit Tigers when I was a kid in Toledo, and was partly responsible for the revival of the team at that time, although he died a couple of years before they made it to-and won-the World Series in 1968.
For those who only know our modern world of large corporate banks with many branches, a historical note. My mother worked in a small privately-owned bank in a Missouri county seat before she married my father, about the time this show aired. The bank was state-chartered and subject to periodic inspection by bank examiners, but as far as I'm aware had no public stockholders, just owned by one family. There were two other similar banks in this town of a few thousand people, and their sphere of business extended to many nearby small farms, probably within a radius of thirty or forty miles at most. Mom was hired as a secretary but was soon promoted to loan officer, evaluating the credit soundness of these farmers. The bank is still in business at the same location, but was long ago bought out and is now a branch of a statewide bank conglomerate. I'll bet this is the size of bank and the sort of transaction that Mr. Byers was doing in Iowa.
The Banker certainly was having fun
I was born in the 1950's, but I hardly ever know the "mystery guests!" I love watching these programs...very wholesome and entertaining!
I know many of them, but often I don’t. So I often look them up online to get a better understanding of who they were and why they were so well-known.
god i love these people......
I was 11 days old at the time of this broadcast.
An unusual amount of conversation during the walk of shame at 3:02 -- Henry Byers tells Dorothy "My wife told me you'd want to see them" (his hands) and Dorothy answers "Well, she was right."
I am now an avid watcher. Thank you!
Anyone notice that John Daly greets people at the beginning of this episode by saying "Good night, ladies and gentlemen ... "?
Yes, I did
Slip, it happens..
Yes, and he was correct, because in 1952 there was no videotape, so the episodes were broadcast LIVE at 10:30pm. We’re watching kinescopes, a 16mm film shot off a television screen backstage, to preserve the show, which is the only record of these earlier episodes.
Good night in the sense of a late night greeting, I assume. (Similar to saying "good evening")
And the rest ." just go to sleep"
Bennett Cerf had such a wonderful, engaging smile, and someone who would be fun to talk to.
A smart and classy man.
I agree; I would have loved to have known him.
J Dano - A friend of mine worked for Random House in the 1960s. One day she was doing her job by agreement in someone's office with the door open. Bennett Cerf walked by and knew she was an employee he had not met. So he strolled in and sat down and began a conversation with her for perhaps 20-30 mins., ranging through a variety of topics and then excused himself and went on about his business, as did she. She said it was a lovely conversation and everything you would have expected it to be, plus lovely that he took a few minutes to get to know an employee who was not among those bringing in new talent or editing.
@@roostero I think the amount of times he badmouthed Hal Block and threw him under the bus disqualifies him from being classy.
This episode is about the only time a mystery guest comes to the program to take exception with something that Dorothy Kilgallen wrote about him/her. It would be darned interesting to see what that column originally said. Not even Jack Paar complained about Dorothy's column when he appeared as a mystery guest. He complained plenty in other places, but not on WML.
It was typical for Chuck Dressen to take a certain amount of umbrage at criticism from the press. It would even be more galling for him to receive it from someone who was primarily advertised as a Broadway columnist (although she started to venture more and more into political columns), certainly was not one of the beat writers assigned to cover the Dodgers or even one of the other baseball teams in NYC, and most of all a woman (female sportswriters were unknown at this time at it was many years later that there would be battles for female sportswriters to have access to the locker rooms of men's teams).
I have no idea which player it was who Dorothy Kilgallen wrote was having a problem with Dressen. Someone asks in the background, one of the other panelists I presume, but it goes unanswered. And Ms. Kilgallen claims to have forgotten the column which is highly unlikely. I think she was simply trying to defuse a possible confrontation. But I think the message from Dressen was basically, "in the future, stick to show biz and stay away from me and my team."
Major League baseball players are generally a very confident lot, otherwise they wouldn't be able to make it in the pressure packed environment at this level of competition. It is typical that their confidence will also lead to a generous amount of pride and even ego. And at times, disagreements and clashes can develop between members of a team. On a winning team, as the Dodgers were, those clashes usually smooth over. With all I know about the Brooklyn Dodgers of this era (which is quite a bit), there may have been some players who weren't thrilled with Dressen, but no one who ever had a notable running problem with him.
Part of Dressen's reaction was that he didn't like anything that would make up appear lacking in any way as the manager. Part of it was he didn't want anything that could get him in trouble with his bosses, Buzzie Bavasi and Walter O'Malley. You never want the front office to think that as a manager, you've lost control of your team.
Most of all, he was a very proud and even egotistical man. In "Bums", Peter Golenbock writes that in 1952 Dressen won 96 games and his players lost 57, giving insight into Dressen's take on things. He is also reported as having told his players to keep the game close if they fell behind and he would "think of something." His detractors had to admit that he was a brilliant strategist and often did think of something to win the game.
Dressen's concerns about his image in the press were not totally unfounded. Roger Kahn, well-known author of "The Boys of Summer", tells the story of the time during the 1952 season when Dressen complained to him that the Dodgers weren't going to win the pennant because the front office had given him two outfielders on the roster who should have been in the minor leagues. Kahn was the beat writer covering the Dodgers for the Herald Tribune at the time and he reported that conversation in his paper. As soon as Kahn stepped on the field before the next game, Dressen calls him over to tell him that Bavasi called him on the carpet for complaining to the press. Dressen told Kahn he could have lost his job because of Kahn's story. They sort things out and as Dressen is about to walk away, he tells Kahn that the front office is also giving him the wrong pitchers. Kahn added that he DIDN'T write that story.
In the middle of the 1964 season, Bing Devine lost his job as General Manager of the Cardinals because reports came to the team owner, Gussie Busch, that Dick Groat (the starting shortstop) was frequently popping off about how he could run the team better, but he had to hear about it through a chain that went through a player on another team (Eddie Mathews of the Braves). Sadly, the team Devine had put together would go on to win the World Series that year. And in the middle of the 1977 season, Tom Seaver demanded to be traded from the Mets (and he was dealt to the Reds as a result) because of sportswriter Dick Young writing about a feud between his wife and Nolan Ryan's wife. So ballplayers and managers do take seriously what is written about them in the press and about anything that would make it appear they have lost control of their team.

I of course don't know weather Dorothy was accurate or not but it sounds like this guy might be hypersensetive.
I woukd like to read some of Dorothy's columns.
thedorothykilgallenstory.org/dorothy-kilgallen-in-words.html
a link to some of her columns.
Since I've been watching all the episodes in chronological order I was quite sure I had watched this one before too. But I can't recall it. The first segment, with the contestant who was a bank broker(!) was really funny. I don't know much about Abe Burrows, but he seemed to me as very quick-headed. He even reminded me about Hal Block! ;)
SuperWinterborn I think the first spot is one of the best in the whole run of WML. A really unusual occupation, a contestant who was relaxed and having fun with the game, and Abe Burrows, the only panelist who could create questions more tangled than John Daly's answers! A real hoot!
dizzyology I agree that this was one of the best segments in the whole WML run. That's why I also watch "You Bet Your Life". Some of the characters on this show are really special, and even worthy sparring partners to Groucho's antics. ;)
It would have been interesting to have heard the interchange between Chuck Dressen and Dorothy as he was leaving. He was obviously not happy about what she wrote in her column. I also can't believe that Dorothy couldn't remember what she wrote in her own column; it was obvious that she didn't want to discuss it and tried to just play it off.
Probably wanted to punch her in the mouth.
He asked about her mentioning a specific player, and commented his problem was actually with every other player. Mind you, this is just a few years after Jackie Robinson became the fist black player in MLB, and it was with the Dodgers, so I am guessing it was about Jackie Robinson.
18:16 - Sometimes I am amazed at the way that Bennett Cerf latches directly onto the correct answer, when no one else on the panel is even close.
it's impossible. There was no clue about what that woman do to make life. Not even slightest. No one was even close to assume the answer. I think he was told the right answer, because otherwise he wouldn't know, period. In that show time was short, so I think host or somebody in the audience tip him off. I've noticed sometimes Daly makes some hand gestures towards panel, helping them in some way, I gather.
@@Andres-db4jm You're right! Broadway Cerf gets inside info!
Actually Arlene and Dorothy hit like mind readers many times.
@@Andres-db4jmYou need to understand his experience in life. More than many people can fit in one lifetime.
@@blueduck5589There have been times they've actually guessed during the wild guesses. Also at this time laws had been passed to make that illegal. All the clues were there.
Abe Burrows. One of the great writers on Broadway. He was a busy fellow, which probably accounts for why Hal Block got a gig on WML and not Abe Burrows. Or Goodman Ace for that matter. Abe was also the father of TV producer-diretor James Burrows, which is a massive achievement in and of itself.
Never knew he was James Burrows dad! Makes sense!
It would be nice to know what Chuck Dressen had to say to Dorothy Kilgallen as they were shaking hands. She didn't seem too impressed with it.
The lighting in this episode is giving me a very 'setting sun shining through the living room window' vibe.
No explanation was given for Hal Block's absence. This was a week after the mistletoe lady and two weeks after he kissed Miss America! I wonder if this was one of his suspensions?
He stole a kiss from Bette Davis, too.
What a great episode. John was very fun in this one!
Otto A "Buck" Cargill, III, Birth: May 24, 1936, USA Death: Feb. 3, 1970
Oklahoma CityAge 33; Rancher, Auctioneer and Trucker; Died of complications suffered from a gunshot wound he received in a hunting accident. So young...such is life.
Do the math: he was only sixteen when he appeared on WML. He looks and sounds much more mature than that!
His grandfather was well known, also a Buffalo rancher.
@@donaldmanthei1224 So was his brother, country music singer Henson Cargill
According to my research, this episode of WML is the only one that aired on my birth day : September 28.
Unfortunately, I was minus 10 years old on that day.
Actually there's ONE more WML show aired on 9/28-- a 1958 episode with Roy Rogers. But that's the only other one! ruclips.net/video/qDmqaPgTHMw/видео.html
In 1952, teaching a class for expectant fathers was, apparently, a funny profession, judging by the audience's reaction. It seems to me a lot of men could benefit from such a class if they're going to be a father for the first time. If nothing else, I think a man should learn the basics of caring for an infant, including changing a diaper or bottle feeding, among other things. Of course, nowadays, fathers are more often "hands on" when it comes to their babies than they were in 1952.
I think the audience laughed because the profession was a surprise to them...
In the 1950 and even the 1960's, men were not in the delivery room if a baby was born in a hospital. Most men changed very few diapers or prepared few bottles. The roles were quite different in those days. Men were providers for their family and worked at least one job, often two or three jobs. Women were housewives which included caring for the children. In general, women didn't work outside the home until children were school age. It was a different time, one the younger generation has no understanding of, so they are quick to condemn the life designations. It was a simpler time. Families were the framework of your life. Respect, morals, sense of community, church involvement, helping others were a constant not an exception. I miss the quiet simplicity that was life in those days.
Todd, I became a father in 1967 and changed a lot more diapers than my wife did. Couldn't stand for daughter to be wet. She never had diaper rash as opposed to her cousin, the daughter of my SIL, who didn't seem to mind that her daughter was wet almost all the time.
At some point, the panelists and the moderator stopped smoking cigarettes on WML, even before cigarette advertising was banned on U.S. television. (Of course there would always be the occasional guest panelist or mystery guest who insisted on smoking a cigar, such as Ernie Kovacs.) I wonder if Goodson-Todman finally imposed a "no smoking" rule at some point, because in later episodes, you never saw anyone smoking a cigarette on WML.
Bank broker Henry Byers uses a "Greek e" in his first name and a regular loop e in his surname 2:44. ("Greek e" refers to the letter epsilon, written in handwriting like a backwards 3.) Jane Schmahl also uses the Greek e. With the two in the Stopette logo, I think we have the highest concentration of them ever seen on this show.
Innocent, clean humor can be just so much fun. I love SNL, but the old-fashioned stuff is still so funny!
dressen should not have brought up a personal issue like that, on national television. i dont like dorothy too much, but she was really nice about it, and handled it a lot better than i would have.
Earlier on Sept. 28, 1952, Chuck Dressen's Dodgers played their final regular season game against the Braves. The game was a rarity in that it ended up a tie game. What is rarer still is the reason for the tie: there was lack of interest on the part of either team to continue the game! The times battled to a 5-5 stalemate after 12 innings (the Braves had tied the game at Brooklyn's Ebbets Field in the top of the 9th). The home plate umpire, Al Barlick, left the game after the 10th inning to catch a train home to Illinois, forcing the game to continue with a three-man crew and the umpires moving around to new positions. The Dodgers had already clinched the pennant earlier that week and most of their starting players had been long since taken out of the game. The Braves were locked in to a 7th place finish, and it is likely that by then, their team was looking to make their travel connections as well, as perhaps were some of the other umpires.
(By the way, it should be noted that compared to the amount of time it takes to play games these days, the two teams completed 12 innings in 2 hours and 53 minutes. That's three minutes faster than the _average_ time of a nine inning major league game in 2015!)
The game is historic for another reason, although it was not known at the time. It would be the last game that the Boston Braves would ever play in the major leagues. During spring training on March 13, 1953, owner Lou Perini announced the move of the Braves franchise to the location of the Braves AAA farm club in Milwaukee (the other owners of the National League teams giving permission). It was the first move of a major league franchise in 50 years (when the Baltimore team in the American League folded and their position in the league was located in New York to eventually be known as the Yankees).
While the Braves retain the honor of having the longest continuing professional baseball franchise, dating back to 1871 and its five seasons in the National Association, a rudimentary predecessor to the National League which succeeded the NA after it folded in 1875, the honor of having the longest continuing major league franchise in the same city belongs to its fellow charter member of the National League, the Chicago Cubs. (Chicago also had a franchise in the NA in 1871, but the Great Chicago Fire in October 1871 precluded the team from playing in the league again until 1874.) Since Boston also has a charter member of the American League (1901) with the Red Sox that continues to play in that city to this day, it is the city with the longest continuing professional baseball presence. But it no longer includes the Braves, who would move again after the 1965 season, this time to Atlanta.
Meanwhile, it was looking like the Dodgers were going to end the hex that the Yankees had over them in 1941, 47 and 49 and end the Yankees winning streak of World Championships at 3. They were going back to Ebbets Field with a 3-2 lead in games and needing to win only one of a possible two games to bring the Brooklyn fans their first World Series victory and first Championship since the days prior to the World Series. It wasn't to be. The Yankees won two close contests and it would be "Wait Til Next Year" again for the Brooklyn fans of their beloved Bums. They would have to wait until 1955. By then, Walt Alston was manager of the Dodgers, having replaced Dressen after the 1953 season.

What a nice batch of interesting baseball trivia! It had never occurred to me that teams might end games for “lack of interest”.
The decision by the Braves to move to Milwaukee required the cooperation of the Pittsburgh Pirates. In those days, the league was divided into two sections -- for scheduling purposes only. The Eastern teams were the Braves, Dodgers, Giants, and Phillies. The Western teams were the Cubs, Pirates, Reds, and Cardinals. In one phase of the season, the Eastern teams would play each other while the Western teams played each other. Then the Eastern teams would play the Western teams in turn. Then they reversed and the Western teams would travel to the Eastern teams. Then the teams would play each other within their "sections" again. Etc., until each team had played each other team 22 times. The idea was to reduce travel. The American League used a similar system.
By moving to Milwaukee, the Braves disturbed the geographical distribution. The logical solution was to move the Braves to the Western segment and the Pirates to the Eastern. If Pittsburgh had objected to that move, the league would not have approved the relocation.
@@mikejschin Very interesting. My understanding is that the Pirates couldn't veto the move, but they could have forced it to be postponed to the 1954 season and the owners would have needed to sit on this news for 6 months lest the fans in Boston become problematic. Basically what happened, as I understand it, was that the Pirates assumed the schedule of the Boston Braves and the Milwaukee Braves assumed the schedule of the Pittsburgh Pirates. This was because the decision to move was made so close to the start of the season.
Ironically, two days before the Braves move to Milwaukee was made official, the American League turned down Bill Veeck's request to move the Browns from St. Louis to Baltimore. They cited insurmountable difficulties as the reason. Actually it would have been easier. It simply would have caused Baltimore to be among the western teams and Washington to be among the eastern teams for one season. The distance between the two cities isn't great. The reality was that the rest of the owners hated Veeck and they wanted to force him to relinquish ownership of the team before it was transferred. It almost caused a huge embarrassment for baseball because the Browns ran out of baseballs in their final home game of the 1953 season, a game that went into extra innings. Then Veeck sold the team to a Baltimore group and it was approved. When the A's moved to Kansas City for the 1955 season, both Baltimore and Washington became part of the AL's eastern group of teams for schedule purposes.
Meanwhile back in the NL, when the Dodgers and Giants moved to the West Coast in 1958, Pittsburgh was now the second easternmost team in the league. Cincinnati became an eastern team and the league was forced to choose between Chicago and Milwaukee for the fourth eastern team. As I recall, the Braves were put back in the east, in large part because of the longstanding rivalry between the Cubs and Cardinals and in part because the Braves had been an eastern club for most of its history.
@@loissimmons6558 Thank you, Lois. As always, when I know generalities, you know the details.
Miss Schmal was a good guest.
The bank seller had such a fun. I like how he laugh.
Charlie Dressen gave Dorothy some shade when they shook hands. She assumed the "Who, me?" persona automatically. Something going on there.
Charlie took the opportunity and hit Dotty up the gap, I believe. Love it.
I think he was annoyed about the article she wrote
I think John Daly met his match with Abe Burrows in definitions of the questions!
I'm hoping to find examples of John Daly's pulling on his ear to signal the panel. Would anyone who notices it please post it? It probably often occurs when John is off-camera, but I'd love to see what John finds "dangerous".

The rancher guy is the fourth lefty contestant I've seen since watching this show on youtube. :)
Is that good news or bad news ? And why do we say "lefty" but not "righty" ?
Burrows is the most obvious person about his smoking I've seen on the show so far; Daly tended to try to keep it sub-rosa. Seems to help him think, though.
Also, he's fun.
And the fat bald tooth challenged unfunny sad man lights up another. WaAAAH I want Block.
juliansinger -- and here I just made the comment I hadn't seen anyone smoking in a while and I was glad. Spoke too soon!
It's grosse enough to see a man smoke, but to see a woman do it is even "grosser." Arlene was smoking on an earlier episode
did anyone go home not covered in ash?
That was the most awkward mystery guest segment I've seen. Dressen seemed to have taken exception to something Dorothy wrote about him, you can see John Daly tensing up at 21:51 as he calls her out, I wonder what she wrote and who that "certain player" was, she just played dumb about it
12:55 in... of all the people who needed the 'FULL PRIZE'.... how Ironic he gets it. :-/
Otto Arthur "O. A." Cargill III passed away on February 3, 1970 from wounds received in a hunting accident. RIP "Buck"
Very handsome guy he was, looked like a pre-hippie Jim Morrison here. :)
I'v seen this one before but wanted to take a second look at some of the earlier show.
Bill Goodwin for "Stopette," Lee Vines introduces the panel.
As 'lines' go, it says something about Kilgallen's when someone in the room has a problem with what she did and she can't remember.
Who would ever want a gossip columnist?
She might have been trying to be kind not to engage in a row on the air. Dressen was upset enough to call it out. It would not do to have a shouting match on the air.
Interesting, Burrows has many of the same mannerisms as Hal Block.
When there is a good-looking lady signing in, there is somebody whistling in the background.
First time I've heard of somebody flipping banks, for themselves. I'd call it creative for sure
They did get rid of the extraneous garbage bit by bit over time, but it's a pity that a contestant like the buffalo rancher got his time cut short when they included the pointless free guesses and the photos at the end asking if we'd know what the pictured person's line was. I was amazed when I read all their books some years back about this period to discover the ridiculous lengths they went to to conceal mystery guests. They put up screens in front of the panel and then tried to figure out how to still photograph them. Then they put up screens around the mystery guest and that didn't work because the audiences couldn't see them. Finally, someone just suddenly said why don't the panelists just wear masks so they can't see the MG. Something so simple, yet they went through many experimentations.
Does Mr. Byers laugh all the way to or from?
No name plate for Chuck Dressen. Wonder if they didn't have one or John just forgot.
Looks like Block's been suspended again.
The panellist on the end was clearly brought in to act the dummy and he was very successful.
By reactions, it looked like Bennett was quite happy when Chuck Dressen decided to take Dorothy on for something he didn't like in one of her recent columns
Ms. Kilgallen almost had a no hitter going there!
Ear tug at 15:32. I've been thinking this has less to do with risque comments and more to do with a habit of John's when he feels awkward or doesn't know how to answer (like a collar tugging gesture). It would line up with risque comments sometimes, but not in this instance.
If a man couldn't teach the expectant fathers class, that doesn't speak well of her teaching ability!
Everyone deserves to be on that panel one does not stay on TV for ?long it was on American TV
For a great addition to this episode, listen to Bennett Cerf tell some behind-the-scenes stuff about What's My Line, and an amusing story about the contestant @ 14:15 of this episode. It can be heard at ruclips.net/video/J-zWzuc_oEI/видео.html at the 3m55s point of that video.
I'm not sold on Burroughs as a panelist, but I found it quite amusing he straight away dosed Daly with a dram of his own medicine.
It was mighty funny to watch, but Jonh wins as always. Love his sensational use of the English language.
Why is a bank not (partly) manufactured? In the later episodes Daly would have given a qualified "Yes". 1952 he had too less experiences.
I was wondering the same thing. This wrong answer probably threw the panel off.
I think what he meant was that the guest bought and sold the banks' *assets*, not the buildings themselves. In that sense, they would not have been "manufactured."
Well a bank in this sense is, like a church, an organization rather than a building.
No way he knew that!
I find it interesting that in a when she is writing dorthy kilgallon has a lot to say but when jack paar and chuck dressen asked about she said dorthy kilgallon has to think of a way to cover her tracks with a smile and might be waiting for a fight
What?
Huh?
When they were short on time, the contestants shouldn’t have been asked to walk in front of the panelists and shouldn’t have given the panelists the free guesses. It just wasted time.
Hello, fellow fans of WML. I'm really wondering why John Daly said to the guest Mrs. Schmahl, "let me first put my hand into my pocket" while welcoming her at the black board. In my understanding it is quite impolite to have your hands in the pocket when greeting someone, and here Daly should do it willingly?
+Celisar1 He makes mention in earlier episodes about keeping his hands out of his pockets so it must have been a habit he was trying to break. I think he was just making a little joke out of it in this instance as he put his hand in his pocket out of habit and just left it there and brought it to everyone's attention. So bottom line is that I think he was making light of a habit he was trying to break, but hadn't done such a good job in this instance.
A few episodes back he mentioned that he was getting flak for having his hands in his pockets-presumably from fans of the show- so this might have been a little thumbing of the nose to the complainers.
I heard it as "I ought not put my hand in my pocket."
In any case, he had mentioned that the producers had admonished him several times about the habit. It was already a small running joke at that point.
Abe Burroughs.... looks like he would be George Costanza's dad!!
Isn’t Abe Burrows a genius?! While all the others were struggling with a luxury item, he had already moved on to money.
Bennett guesed another lady who taught expectant fathers on another show
Walking in front of the panel was so stupid and undignified. Thank goodness they stopped that.
Dressen called Kilgallen out for a not so honest column .
It's annoying the last contestant has always 2 minutes.
a typical episode when the guy with glasses picks an occupation out of thin air, the teaching fatherhood. no one had mentioned anything about it but 'bang' there it is. I smell a rat
Arlene was much prettier when she was a blonde.
You can buy a bank??? and get to keep everything in it??? So if you buy a bank and everyone's bank account and safe deposit boxes now belong to you???
If you buy a bank, you're buying the business, not the assets people deposit with the bank. :)
