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!

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.
