Jack Lemmon smiles immediately after hearing Andy Griffith's response to his question because he undoubtedly recognized Andy's voice. And although Andy Griffith acknowledged that he was known as a comedian in response to Arlene's question, a year earlier Andy brilliantly starred in the lead dramatic role in "A Face in the Crowd."
A little bit of history on this episode... when it aired on GSN in 2001, I taped it because Mrs. Widmeyer mentioned she lived in Fergus, ON. which is near me. The next day, I called the first Widmeyer in Fergus listed in the phone book and explained that I had taped this show and was wondering if this was any relation and if they wanted the tape. After a pause, she said that was her. I sent Mrs. Widmeyer the video tape and eventually met up with her and her husband. She had many great memories of doing the show, including having to keep the secret from her friends why she was going to NYC and that the show bought her a new dress and gloves to be on the show. My favorite story that was passed along by Mr. Wydmeyer was that when Mrs. Wydmeyer left the stage, watch Jack Lemmon... "he was checking out my wife's ass!"
Dorothy Kilgallen does the same thing when a good looking man walks by her on his way off the stage. I get a kick out of it we're only human after all.. LOL
I'd advise everyone to take a look at "A Face in the Crowd". Andy Griffith was brilliant in his first movie. Great script and precient for our current times.
"See you out at the park John!" "I'm afraid you mean that literally rather than figuratively." That's really quick wit, JCD had an incredible mind you can tell.
Bennett must have remember the reaction that woman who ran a nudist camp got when she appeared on WML in 1953 and generated uncontrollable gales of laughter. in the audience . . . like the last contestant.
@@benhallums146 The name of Mayberry appears to have been based on Mount Airy. And the town not far from Mount Airy, Pilot Mountain, became Mount Pilot in the series.
John Fuentes -- And yet, on another WML appearance, possibly on two of them, Andy Griffith affected a very credible English accent and that gave the panel a hard time.
+ToddSF 94109 Andy had met Bernard Fox (the Welsh actor who played Malcolm Merriweather on "The Andy Griffith Show", and later played Dr. Bombay on "Bewitched" and its spin offs, and Col Crittenden on "Hogan's Heroes) by the time of his later appearances on WML. I have read that a southern accent is the closest American accent to an English accent. For example, it helped Vivian Leigh in "Gone With the Wind".
@@accomplice55 I know that. But my assumption is that since Bernard Fox was generally seen as playing an Englishman, he was assaying an English accent. How well he did, I will leave that determination to those who were born and raised in England or Wales.
The whole space program was designed by women, working at JPL (the Jet Propulsion Labs) in California. Even as far back as 1948 "computers" were women who did all the math figuring in technical and scientific fields. Theres a book titled "The Rocket Girls"that tells the whole story of how women seveloped space vehicles and even worked out the trajectories to put satellites in orbit and for rockets to the moon.
@@axiomist1076 Exactly what space program are you talking about? NASA has had many space programs through the years and I would love to know of one where it was designed completely by women.
Good for the baseball umpire from Fergus! I used to live in nearby Erin, so good for her. But I'm surprised nobody's talking about the first panelist, the rocket engineer. It was rare for a woman to be an aeronautical engineer then, even rarer for an Indigenous Person, and Mary G Ross even has her own Wikipedia page!
John excuses Bennett's introduction of him by saying that he had been out in the heat all afternoon. But the high temperature in New York City was only 72.9°F on June 22, according to the next day's New York Times.
I always LOVED this program and the panel, especially the original panel. I liked Dorothy, but she was such a name dropper and way too boastful. I wish I had a dollar for every time she mentioned her association with royals and well known wealthy and famous people. And the numerous times she would say something like, “Did we lunch or sup at La Bláh Bláh’s in Paris” or some other place only the crème de la crème frequented. And she was the president of just everyone’s fan club! 💰 💎 💰 💎 💰 💎 💰
My family belonged to a nudist camp when I was growing up in the early 1960s. Located in St. Catherines, Ontario Canada. It was called Sun Valley Gardens! Crazy!
For anyone wondering: Google should help: A number of groups of extant mammals have independently evolved bipedalism as their main form of locomotion - for example humans, ground pangolins, the extinct giant ground sloths, numerous species of jumping rodents and macropods.
What a name dropper Dorothy was - "I was with Prince Philip in Washington the other day..." And those odd questions she asked, again name dropping, showing off. Obviously did not make her happy. Francis seemed the happier woman but then she basked in the adoration of her husband.
When I went to the Newberry store in the 1960s near Artesia Blvd. , on the second floor there were 3 very large wooden trays: one was full of handkerchiefs, another with scarfs, and the other with gloves. Today I still have my two steel hair clips that I got from Newberry 1st floor. I remember they also had cigarette cases! The Newberry store went out of business in the late 1970s, I believe the Del Amo Mall took away their customers, and the Mall took away White Front too. My Barbie doll, and Skipper and Francie are from 1970, and my Ken doll is 1960 (but his clothes are 1970).
@@bobbyfrancis8957 I still have my dolls, someplace. I haven't thought about them in years until you mentioned yours. It was a Big Deal to wear white gloves to church. Growing up in the South, gloves, purse, shoes and hat matched. Especially at church and definitely on Easter Sunday. Thank you for kindling some pleasant memories!
Oh-I stopped, at Mr. Griffith, to go to his next appearance; I'm glad, I returned! "Do you wear something, other than that which you're wearing, when you conduct your 'business?'" might've been jocular! Nice comment, also, Mr. Lemmon! Alright, now, I'm wondering if the panel knew something, re: the extra contestant. There's something, about Arlene's inquiries...
Dr. Knapp was an Austrian immigrant, who advocated for nudism mostly for the health benefits. For some reason, in the 60s, he sold his camp (to a rather less subtle gentleman, who put a statue of a nude woman's leg in the middle of the place). Dr. Knapp died in 1980.
Dorothy seemed a bit doubtful of Ms. Ross and resorted to name dropping Prince Philip and seemed to diminish the size of missiles when shot down by Mr. Daly.
By about the 4th year of the Andy Griffith show, Andy had nearly completely lost his Carolina accent, and I suspect he lost it years before that. I think his accent had long been an integrated part of his stage persona but if you talked to him in private, I think he would sound like anyone else.
The panel won't know Los Altos, California from a hole in the ground, but it's a residential suburb in the Bay Area, immediately south of and adjacent to Palo Alto. It's also adjacent to Mountain View and close to Sunnyvale, where Lockheed Martin (as it is called nowadays) has a large plant. Lockheed also has a research facility in the Stanford Research Park in Palo Alto and if I were to hazard a guess, I think Miss Ross probably worked at that research facility in Palo Alto.
I liked Ross immediately once I knew what her line was. Big space fan! Wait - warfare?! Rockets...hmm. Not as *important* as satellites, rockets and missiles for space, but maybe as long as it’s necessary 😉.
8:49 notice the irrelevant name-dropping to impress. What does Prince Phillip have to do with their size? Nothing. She just wants you to know who she socilized with.
Dexter Haven To be fair she was obviously accompanying Prince Phillip on one of those Royal visits where they visit some missile-making factory or whatever. She'd hardly have been there orherwise. So it was more of a 'why she was there' rather than a 'who she was with' as namedropping usually is.
10:35: Oh here we go with the Stereotypes o' Canada portion of the program. "Can we rule out that you're a trapper/logger/hockey player/baker of sourdough bread?"
fishhead06 -- I would have thought "Can we rule out that you're a baker of sourdough bread?" would have been asked of someone from San Francisco rather than Canada. Maybe for a Canadian contestant, "Can we rule out that you're a Mountie?" if we're going to go for Canadian stereotypes. I'm sure the R.C.M.P. had women working for them in 1958.
Sourdough bread was also very common among participants (the '49ers) in the California gold rush and remains, to this day, something commonly associated with San Francisco. They sell loaves of sourdough bread at San Francisco International Airport for people to buy and take home on the plane with them and it's something a great many San Francisco restaurants put on the table. In my travels in Canada, I somehow didn't run into sourdough bread at all, but in San Francisco, you'd be hard-pressed to avoid it.
fishhead06 HAH! Well at least they don't get the 'do you really eat whale blubber up there?' question that my family has gotten while visiting the US!! lol At least those other are a little more sensible.
Whenever I see at Jack Lemmon at this age it just makes me think he's got a bad cold all the time. No one has 'acted having a bad cold' so well as Lemmon in The Apartment. Meanwhile the baseball coach shook the hands of the panellists with gusto....all except Jack's. He looked a little bereft actually. I would've LOVED to shake Jack's hand.
Are you sure of the date of this airing ? I was born on June 23rd, 1960 and it was a Thursday. I thought WML line always aired at 10:30pm on Sunday night.
@Kevin Clements -- I just checked an online calendar for '58, and it showed June 22, 1958 as being on a Sunday. In '58, the 23rd was on a Monday, and in '59, it would be a Tuesday. 1960, though, is a leap year which advances the days by one after Feb. 28, thus your birthday fell on Thursday. :)
Martin gave it to her. After Martin passed Arlene was mugged and her necklace was stolen, I believe she was in her early 80s😢. See , the world has Always been full of ugly people.
I think that was Andy's 1st movie, wasn't it? Andy described his character as a monster, but in another interview he described Will Stockdale as the most " Christ-like creature"...
@@sarashelby4501 Yes, of course, I saw that movie many times in the 1960s. And the novel, "No Time for Sergeants", I read a few years ago; in the novel they are NOT on the plane when it catches on fire, no spitting in the microphone, and Will and Ben do not come down in a parachute. Sgt. King's watch is never mentioned, and Will doesn't even meet King until the ninth chapter.But when King says, "Why do they send all the bums and idiots to my barracks?" Yes, that was lifted from the novel.
To cut him and other performers some slack, this premise was very different than how they spent their usual days of memorizing scripts, blocking scenes and positions on stages, pretending to be someone they were not. I imagine they felt exposed and uncertain of how they should behave. Add to that the knowledge they'd be in the company of the three expert panelists (Arlene, Bennett, Dorothy), I'd expect them to be awkward, hesitant and nervous. I enjoy seeing the movers and shakers, the rising stars, the bright and beautiful of days gone by, regardless of how exemplary -- or not -- they performed on the panel. It's a treat to watch such a lovely show of decades past. THANK YOU for posting these!!
"OH, MY GOD HE'S AWFUL !" I said out loud in relation to Jack Lemmon. What a lousy panelist. At one point he wasn't paying attention by asking a question that another panelist already asked and trying to be funny was a dud. As Jay Leno would say; "Doing comedy isn't that easy" The guest panelists are not as good as the regular panelists of course, but Lemmon seemed worse than most of the guest panelists in my opinion. I like him as an actor and Jazz pianist but not here. The boy rubbed me the wrong way hahahaha . . .
0:54 Arlene introduces Jack Lemmon and mentions his new album of piano playing and singing 'coming out next week,' 'A Twist of Lemmon.' Jack dabbled in jazz piano and played rather well for someone not in the field professionally. The LP is still online here..."Jack Lemmon....piano" should bring it up.

She drank little bitty cocktails and a 'sip' of wine and another little bitty cocktail etc.+
The last few episodes she was over celebrated. She was also out sick prior to this period which probably means "rehab" or she should've been in rehab.
Read up on her, she and hubby were separated and she had ALOT of suitors

@Kevin Clements -- I just checked an online calendar for '58, and it showed June 22, 1958 as being on a Sunday. In '58, the 23rd was on a Monday, and in '59, it would be a Tuesday. 1960, though, is a leap year which advances the days by one after Feb. 28, thus your birthday fell on Thursday. :)
Does anyone know the history behind Arlene’s necklace. She wears it in every episode.
Future of it was, it was stolen!
Martin gave it to her. After Martin passed Arlene was mugged and her necklace was stolen, I believe she was in her early 80s😢. See , the world has Always been full of ugly people.
Is Miss Ross one of the ladies that the movie Hidden Figures was made about?
No. That movie was about a group of African-American women.
At that time, did he do the movie "A Face in the Crowd" yet?
I think that was Andy's 1st movie, wasn't it? Andy described his character as a monster, but in another interview he described Will Stockdale as the most " Christ-like creature"...
@@bobbyfrancis8957 He was Will Stockdale in "No Time for Sergeants"
@@sarashelby4501 Yes, of course, I saw that movie many times in the 1960s. And the novel, "No Time for Sergeants", I read a few years ago; in the novel they are NOT on the plane when it catches on fire, no spitting in the microphone, and Will and Ben do not come down in a parachute. Sgt. King's watch is never mentioned, and Will doesn't even meet King until the ninth chapter.But when King says, "Why do they send all the bums and idiots to my barracks?" Yes, that was lifted from the novel.
Wonder if Arlene was pregnant at the time of this show.
Lemon was bad on this! Dim
vikings844 and not paying attention. Maybe he was busy being enamored of Dorothy or something.
To cut him and other performers some slack, this premise was very different than how they spent their usual days of memorizing scripts, blocking scenes and positions on stages, pretending to be someone they were not. I imagine they felt exposed and uncertain of how they should behave. Add to that the knowledge they'd be in the company of the three expert panelists (Arlene, Bennett, Dorothy), I'd expect them to be awkward, hesitant and nervous.
I enjoy seeing the movers and shakers, the rising stars, the bright and beautiful of days gone by, regardless of how exemplary -- or not -- they performed on the panel. It's a treat to watch such a lovely show of decades past.
THANK YOU for posting these!!
Are nudist camp's still as prevalent today as they were in the 60's? Are they illegal in some places?

"OH, MY GOD HE'S AWFUL !" I said out loud in relation to Jack Lemmon. What a lousy panelist. At one point he wasn't paying attention by asking a question that another panelist already asked and trying to be funny was a dud. As Jay Leno would say; "Doing comedy isn't that easy" The guest panelists are not as good as the regular panelists of course, but Lemmon seemed worse than most of the guest panelists in my opinion. I like him as an actor and Jazz pianist but not here. The boy rubbed me the wrong way hahahaha . . .
It definitely wasn't his forte.
Dan Celli Didn't Lemmon graduate from Yale? I mean wtf?
A lady engineer? Well don't that beat all?!
Som'bitch, it sure do.
Andy must have had some place to be
He had to hurry home to tuck-in Opie
0:54 Arlene introduces Jack Lemmon and mentions his new album of piano playing and singing 'coming out next week,' 'A Twist of Lemmon.' Jack dabbled in jazz piano and played rather well for someone not in the field professionally. The LP is still online here..."Jack Lemmon....piano" should bring it up.
They had to be careful with that nudist camp guy and the FCC.
Lemmon, GET OFF THE STAGE!!
Dorothy sounds pissed ... that slur in her speech ...
Buzzed
The Andy Griffith show didn't come on til the 60's, so what'd he do before that?
movies, broadway.
before Andy Griffith's show, he was probably best known for "no time for sergeants".
@@MrYfrank14 He was best known for "A Face in the Crowd" before the TV show.
Jerry Wheeler he had quite a few hits in the 50s, A Face In The Crowd as you said, Onionhead was another good one.
He acted.
Google exists for a reason, honey.
I JUST LOVE JOHN DALY MORE THAN ANY OF THEM. I THINK MR CERF IS A SNOT

This is probably one of my favorite movie
