  • Here's another of the very rare shows for which I had an alternate copy with original commercials, thanks to a fellow WML collector who would rather remain anonymous. As always, I preserved as much as possible of my original copy due to its much higher a/v quality.
    MYSTERY GUEST: Muhammad Ali
    PANEL: Arlene Francis, Joe Garagiola, Dorothy Kilgallen, Martin Gabel

    I had the honor and privilege of meeting Muhammad Ali more than once, and every single time he took the time to shake my hand and spend a minute or two with me. Keep in mind these weren't media events or anything like that, just him going about his day. He absolutely didn't have to do that, but he was always a class act.

      Having ordinary people from a variety of walks of life combined with the glam & fam personalities of the day with an intellectually distinguished and highly professional panel made it very interesting to watch most of the time indeed. Although this was before my time, it almost makes me sigh for the return of better times gone by and lost forever to forgotten yesterdays.

      Racism is always in vogue but TV producers know good TV and he is good TV. Also great fighters give people the warm and fuzzies and he had an entertaining personality. He enjoyed it, they enjoyed him. The way I see it you can almost always overcome some good old racism if you demonstrate the exception to the stereotypes and play it cool. Who hates Cassius Clay? No one.

    I was 12 years old when that show aired, but 10 years later I had the occasion to meet Muhammad Ali when his limo driver was lost and I gave him an official U.S. Secret Service escort to his destination in Wash.D.C. where I was on patrol doing counter terrorist work and protecting the White House in 1975. I shook the hand of Muhammad Ali and he was very nice. I too am an athlete and had to be in great shape to do the job in law enforcement that I had for many years. I am sorry to see Muhammad Ali has passed away just a few years ago. He was a great man and he did a lot for all people.

      If you've ever heard of - either the book, or term 'Medium Cool', it boils down to TV - being in one's home, is intimate, and is - as opposed to going to see a movie, or a theatre, a 'cool' medium' (in other words, rather than a performer needing to be/perform 'over-the-top', as in theatre - esp. when theatres were un -mic'ed, a TV performer needs to underplay).
      I say this because one gauge of a show, or performers success potential (in TV) is if they're able to make the viewer feel like a 'friend' - Johnny Carson was a natural at this, and it's not something one can 'learn' how to do - it'll 'read' as fake'. A person either has it or doesn't. It's rare. The fact that the panellists on WML have it, is terrific, and rarer still - in fact, in an episode, I watched last night (I've been 'bingeing' on them), Mr Daly was talking about this 'friend' we 'invite into our homes' quality, and he mentioned that he'd heard people say the panellists on WML are just like friends we invite in. A lovely feeling, and, I guess that's why - having been watching one-after-another of these, since yesterday, I feel like I'm listening to a funny, clever conversation in my home, and it draws one in.

    Ali- Truly "The Greatest"! Not only a peerless boxer in his prime- that Ali wit and ability to speak well put him in a place all alone both before and after his reign in the ring. Name one heavyweight champ since him who could make you laugh while verbally jousting with an opponent or a reporter who would then enter the ring and float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.

      Does it help if you know that he had only the year before changed his name? At least she said his correct name first. Also, I'm not sure how accustomed people were to somebody changing their name like that after they were already famous. I don't mean that people didn't owe it to him to use the correct name, but I don't think it was one of those things where people had the hang of it.

      She first asked if he were the name of the man to whom the mountain was brought (if you’re familiar with that; surely you are), then she gave his birth name. Everyone knew him more by his birth name at the time. Even the black people had trouble with his name change at first. They too were what you likely feel is ‘old school.’

      @@mynamedoesntmatter8652 - the original comment has validity, from the fact that there was still a concerted effort by several in the mainstream media to refuse to acknowledge Ali's name change 1, 2, 3, 4, or even 5 years after he made it. Don't think that was the case here with Arlene, but it was an issue in general, in and out of the media. Case in point...the next opponent Ali discusses in this appearance, Floyd Patterson, had bragged about refusing to acknowledge Ali's changed name; Patterson got beat severely in the ring for his attitude, as Ali demanded with each blow Patterson "say my name."

Joe said "Yeah. It says 'Yogi Berra grew up across the street from here'".

    @loissimmons6558 5 лет назад +4

    At the end of the 1964 season, the Yankees for still somewhat mysterious reasons and a lot of unfounded rumors, fired long time announcer Mel Allen. Joe Garagiola was hired to replace him in the broadcast booth by hiring Joe away from NBC. Earlier, he had been part of the broadcast team for the St. Louis Cardinals (his first big league team and his hometown team) from 1955-62.
    CBS was in the process of taking over ownership of the Yankees at the end of the 1964 season and it's possible that they had something to do with the change in announcers. Years later Allen was quoted as saying that the team's primary sponsor, Ballantine Beer, was behind the move as a cost-cutting measure because the brewery was seeing declining sales and needed the savings. But that answer has to be questioned because by this time in his career as a television personality and the author of the popular book "Baseball is a Funny Game:, Garagiola would have commanded a fairly hefty salary.
    I imagine that CBS asked WML to give Joe a shot on the panel to test his versatility. And indeed he would prove to be a versatile TV performer as a game show host and panelist, an occasional guest host of "The Tonight Show", as well as his years as part of "The Today Show" team, although he returned to NBC for most of his television work.
    Growing up on the same street as Lawrence "Yogi" Berra in the poor neighborhood of St. Louis known as "The Hill", Joe was considered the better prospect of the two and he made it faster to the major leagues. In 1946, he had a decent rookie season and was one of the heroes of the Cardinals victory in the World Series that year, their last World Series victory until they ironically beat the Yankees in 1964. He hit .316 in the Series, far better than either Stan Musial (.222) or Ted Williams (.200). He also was one of the heroes of the Cardinals playoff victory over the Dodgers when the two teams were tied for the NL pennant at the end of the regular season.
    Only 20 years old and a hero in his hometown reportedly was a difficult attitude adjustment for him. He slumped so badly by 1948 that he was sent back to the minors. But he rebounded in 1949 and was hitting .347 in the first two months of the 1950 season. Then on June 1, after laying down a sacrifice bunt, Joe fell after awkwardly avoiding a collision with Jackie Robinson who was covering first base. Badly separating his shoulder, he missed most of the rest of that season and both his shoulder and his career were never the same again.
    By the time he retired at the end of the 1954 season, he was already developing a reputation as a popular after-dinner speaker with the ability to tell funny stories, often about his boyhood pal, Yogi. In their own ways, two poor kids from the slums made it big. Berra made it big, had a Hall of Fame baseball career and made a lot of money with investments. Reportedly Garagiola did even better financially.

My father is from the Bronx and has a heavy Bronx accent and spoke the same way in 1965 that he does today, and he's a college graduate. People speak how they speak; it's not a matter of "back then."
