Приєднався 3 жов 2013
The What's My Line? channel features all 757 episodes in the Goodson-Todman archive of the classic game show "What's My Line?" which aired on CBS from 1950 to 1967, plus much more: Dozens of "extras" featuring WML regulars, various compilations of clips, as well as several "lost" episodes that were never included in reruns. Please consider subscribing to keep up to date on new uploads. The whole series has been posted, but there are many more WML-related extras to come, as well as substantial upgrades to some shows already posted!
What's My Line - Happy Birthday, Bennett! [CLIPS VIDEO]
A short collection of WML clips acknowledging Bennett Cerf's birthday, just because today (May 25, 2019) marks the 121st anniversary of his birth. He is still loved and missed, not just by fans of WML but by anyone who knows Bennett's historic contributions as a lifelong champion of both literature and the importance of humor in our lives.

Переглядів 21 тис.6 років тому
These shows are a real treat for Fred Allen fans, since they may never be shown on TV again due to the prominence of the cigarette sponsor, Old Gold. As far as I'm concerned, any Fred Allen video is a precious Fred Allen video, since there's so very little outside of What's My Line.

TWO FOR THE MONEY: Guests Fred Allen, Herb Shriner; Walter O'Keefe [host] (Aug 11, 1953)
Переглядів 12 тис.6 років тому
"Walter, I want you to meet Mr. Herb Shriner, who is in television, and Mr. Fred Allen, an unemployed gentleman from Boston." TWO FOR THE MONEY was originally developed by Goodson-Todman for Fred Allen in 1952, but unfortunately, Fred's health prevented him from taking the job. Taking his place as permanent host was Herb Shriner, who was off this week from the show, so taking HIS place was Walt...

What's My Line? - LOST EPISODE CLIP! Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis (Jan 24, 1954)
Переглядів 126 тис.6 років тому
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...

Переглядів 99 тис.6 років тому
NOTE: This is a repost of an episode that UA-cam inexplicably removed due to "inappropriate content", without even sending a notice when the video was deleted. What could even conceivably have been judged by anyone as inappropriate content in a 1962 episode of What's My Line is anyone's guess, but there's no apparent way to appeal it, so I'm just re-uploading the video. Hopefully this won't get...

Arlene Francis devoted a good deal of energy over the years to various causes, one of those dearest to her being epilepsy.

Since Goodson noted that he & Todman couldn't fit on the 1 chair, why did that shared, chair deal continue? *Saw 2 chairs on 1 episode though
Happy birthday Bennett 🎉❤
Phil Silvers could not wear his glasses in the movie, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," since in ancient Rome, glasses were not invented yet.
Gary Crosby was the most famous of the brothers, being a semi-regular on Adam-12.
I would do Dorothy Killgalen
Bing Crosby whipped those kids every day
Nat King Cole died WAY TOO young at 45, in 1965.
I think it is the only time a mystery guest has performed in the program, 1-derful Satchmo !!! 😁
To be honest, each time I watch the show, I look forward to watching Bennett. He was a very respectful man, I wish he was here on Earth today, he would've been 126 years old this past May.
The handwriting of all the guests is beautiful, and the phrasing of the questions is so elegant. My handwriting isn't nearly that nice.
I was already asleep when my mom woke me up to watch The Beatles with her. I missed WML, but I have never forgotten this night. The screaming fans on television scared me, so I can only imagine the chaos outside the studios!
Robert Q. Lewis real middle name DOES NOT START WITH "Q".
The cow washer and garbage collector are the 2 funniest professions that this show has ever had lol 😅😂😅
George Hamilton was not on long enough
Didn't realize "far out" went back to the '50s.
she started out as a dancing show girl and had a few "babe bits" on Three Stooges shorts back in the day as a young girl.
Bennett asked "Don't they grow grapes in Vallejo?" and John should have said "Yes, they don't grow grapes there"
Fish and birds are animals.
There's not a person in the audience then or today who cares one bit about John Daly's trip to sweden. Once again it's just his effort to place-drop and name-drop like they all do lol.
So John Daly asked the guy if he understands the rules coming from Sweden and the guy says yes he's been informed and then John proceeds to go ahead and tell him the rules anyway. Frankly I think it's because he didn't like the way the guy said yes I've been informed, so he just thought well I'm just going to tell him anyway.
The world was blessed by Frank Fontaine.
Phyllis Newman was snotty.
These people scribble like an absolute mess and lots of dumbass boomers moan about other generations not learning cursive. First of all, cursive is a total insult to those with disabilities... secondly, well whose fault is it that cursive isn't being taught? Are boomers so stupid as to blame youth and not those administering the "education"
I love how older folk watch this show with a sense of nostalgia while any sane younger person can only look on in horror. Monkey farmer? Really? Absolutely DISGUSTING. i have worked in a rainforest with monkeys and can tell this woman won't have raised them compassionately
the panel were very rude to the young lady
Lucy's bit was a show in itself haha! Loved it!
It's a real treat to watch these old episodes. In these very early shows they are clearly still figuring it all out. I think the show came into its own when the panel was Bennet Cerf, Dorothy Kilgallen, Arlene Francis and Steve Allen, although Fred Allen and Martin Gabel were good panelists too. I watch these old shows more than any modern programs, just to bask in the civility of it all.
4 X $50 to the Salvation Army band! First time I've seen that happen on WML; nice move Mr. Daly.
How did they not recognize Sanders' voice right away? Did they think it was someone trying to sound that way? Even a jokester couldn't pull off that depth.
I would loved to have met Mrs. Roosevelt !She set a fine example as First Lady!
23:34 Dorothy has another one of her 'hitches' similar to her famous "fighting the sneeze" incident that people interpreted as being related to drug or alcohol use. It sounds like a stutter of sort, perhaps something she does when she's tired.
Preston's fake voice sounds a lot like Raymond Burr's
Back when there were grownups.
Sad but there was no conspiracy just accidental OD
There is nothing at all wrong with John's behavior. He did want to give thr advantage to the contestant but I doubt he'd have done it dishonestly. Why would he?
Did Kellogg's actually offer the widest array of breakfast cereals in the world, or is that just marketing hyperbole? 🤔
Why is Arlene's hair dark tonight?
Edward G. Robinson was a wonderful actor worthy of multiple awards on the other hand Marianne Means i just dont think so
I must be the 1 person in history that does not she is more beautiful than other women. She has bloated eyes probably from years of drunkenness. There's no way she's better looking than Elizabeth Taylor.
Happy to hear Dorothy refer to the “British” version of wml which is absolutely correct. It appears that at this time wml did not conceive that the BBC didn’t just broadcast in England and that Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland were included too.
*_SPONGE DIVER_* *_PACKS POPSICLES_* *_SELLS FIRE ENGINES_*
I only wish Daly would have engaged her more. We hardly got to here her speak.
francis can not shut her mouth
I was surprised at the answer of the pig raiser about color, breeds of pigs can be colored much different from other breeds.
What on Earth??? Why are our people going to Russia fir a very evil communist country that murders dissenters and Christians..what on earth..
Why on 🌎 would John Daly go to Moscow?
He's the first person I've seen who didn't know the rules of the game.
He was a very good man aside that he was an actor
Glen Kaufman later became a different kind of professional, a registered S offender
"Good Looking, Terrible Panelist" Lol 🤔😐😐🤔🤔🤔🤔😐🤔
We've come a long way. Back then IKE was in the White House and ELVIS was on the radio. Today, if you turn on a radio someone is swearing at you (rap "music") and we have a squatter in the White House.
