What's My Line(final in my series)

Touching tribute...

What I love about "What's My Line" panelists

I love Bennett Cerf's sarcastic manner yet smart (same with Fred Allen)

Love Fred Allen with the Red Skeleton episode, "OH ho I can see the light even with these on" "Do you have a color for your first name?....You do? I give up" but I like Bennett Cerf (part owner of Random House publishing asking in one episode with an author, do you write for Random House?)

I love Dorthy's absurd questions that are obviously trying to brag a bit but it's amazing how many people said yes....or depending on what the question was, just how hilarious it would be.(and the guest) I love the episode with just George Burns when he answers yes when no one knew it really was a no until he revealed himself by saying "I'm also a liar"

I love Arlene Francis. I just love her reactions and her fun loving way.

To end my series I've done on this which I can't say that I'll never do What's My Line things ever again because it had funny responses and amazing guest stars.

There seemed to be a period when a chair was open to any panelist and I like Jerry Lewis for awhile with the girl who sold diet pills, everyone is going on, but Jerry just guesses actually to be kind of meanly(she was heavy) carelessly sarcastic but he gets it right. So, go figure.

Love the episode with Johnny Olson because well it's their own announcer and they can't guess it. He had some awesome voices.

But the best MC that was, John Daly.

The last episode was him!

Go check that out!

Maurice Chevalier

This Frenchman is dazzling with his straw hat...Even the Marx Brothers imitated this charming Frenchman. "Isn't It Romantic" was sung in part by Chevalier in a movie. This song is considered one of the best of all time. Many people do not know it has words because it is played so often as just orchestra, however Chevalier sang it. It is one of the few songs that rhymes before it starts, which makes the writers especially unique, the name of the movie slipped from me but it is a good movie and the songwriting is phenomenal and if you're reading this blog, hopefully a name you will recognize. Oh by the way I removed the link to that but if you want to check out part of isn't it romantic and other escapades, check out www.youtube.com/oldtelivisionrocks go to my uploads. If you don't see it there it may be because it's illegal in your country because it is saying that I infringed on some copyright laws, even though I've been doing this for awhile....sometimes youtube and stuff is weird.

"Do we wish you were an american, yes"

"I hope when I"m 77 sir that I have as good of company...(and so on)

Priceless stuff.

I told you more What's My Line was coming.

I love Johnny Olson in this. He is great at the voices. They cannot figure out their own announcer!

I also love the dead giveaway videos. They are all comedians of  course that kind of bust in to reveal their identities. Love the cane with Burns and Allen, gotta love Gracie's dumb quip. Love Burn's response! I couldn't help but think that's why George would always make remarks about being the one that brought in the money with his act, moments like that I don't think George thought ever to write in...but it was sooo loveable. Then I also especially loved Martin and Lewis!!! Of course Jerry had to act stupid, with Jerry I find it obnoxious but I've always found it a kind of obnoxious...great comedian though. Liked Dean too pointing to himself wanting the attention saying me me, let me answer....But with Jerry's kidish nature in their shows, of course...Ernie Novacks.Dorthy's reaction with Mr. Cerf's.classic.

One of my favorite episodes though, is Jack Benny. Jack Benny never needed to say a joke in his life. He'd just watch a funny situation, look at the audience, the hilarity comes out with no joke about it. No need to make jokes or crack at people all the time, just look at the audience like they already get it.He also went up to kiss one of the panelist when she asks if he is handsome?!? Hilarious. Jack hits Daly...oh more hilarities, just watch it please.

What's My Line with John Daly (more to come)

     I thought I'd take a moment to honor my favorite game show.

Well, in this video let me give a quick summary. Woody Allen-fake voice that was really good. Bob Hope's is funny because Bob was in a movie with Bing where they were dueling. Bob Hope is reported to not have a good relationship with Bing but they must have put their differences aside because they worked together often. Steve Allen- Johnny actually announces that it's Allen and so Bennett Cerf  says "I'll pretend I didn't hear that." while John returns "you can't" John felt so bad for messing up. Rosalind Russell- so deep of a fake voice she has the panel convinced for a long time she is a man. For Lana they misguessed but then John Daly insulted her! Her area is a very broad one (you don't get it? Think about it for awhile)

For Lucy and Desi, ha ha ha, they seem to know it, then they guess Lucy but not Desi.

Background info: Red considered himself a clown, not a comedian. He had a show that was on at different times at different parts of the country. Back then, everybody stole everyone's stuff... (There is a Burns and Allen show about that with Jack Benny) All the comedians, of course, knew who stole what. Some people got mad but mostly it was a compliment and since everyone did it.... The audience noticed these things too and it was greatly made fun of. Still, Fred's reactions are funny. He knows who it is. When it's over Fred says "I was expecting Clem Kadiddlehopper." Which was one of Red's characters. Fred also jokes that the material that Red stole, Red can still work with it while it still being funny while Fred can't anymore.
