Candy Sheridan worked for the U.S. Weather Bureau where she was involved with sending up radar-controlled balloons to find out weather conditions at heights of 100,000 feet and drawing weather maps. She didn't present forecasts on TV like Al Roker. Her's was a behind-the-scenes job.

Brooke Hanley Some might say that she was a real weatherman and that the presenters on TV are just that, presenters. She was actually doing the things that create the weather forecasts, whereas the T V presenters are just entertainers who are reading off a teleprompter, so I would say that if anything is misleading, it is when someone like Al Roker is called a weatherman.

@@artistjoh To be fair, back in those times they were both most of the time (actual climate scientists and presenters) - just like news anchors used to be journalists, who research their own headliners. At least in my country that only changed when the "flash-y" type of television rolled around...

QemeH That may be true, but the Al Rokers of the world are definitely not ‘weathermen’ in the same sense as this wonderful woman. I do believe she was responsible for high altitude balloons as @Bigwave2003 pointed out. OTOH Al Roker is responsible for a few birthday party balloons but I can’t imagine him actually out there taking any kind of measurements, or creating models in meteorological supercomputers. The ‘flashy’ television is all about illusions and presentation over substance.

By the way, this episode aired on 2 August 1953. Mrs. Sheridan was the first contestant of the evening. She was followed by Al French, who builds prison cells (salaried; he works for Van Dorn Iron Works in Cleveland, Ohio; from Cleveland, OH), and then by the evening's mystery guest, Charles Coburn. (He drew a monocle and cigar next to his signature on the sign-in board.) Per Gil Fates' logs, there was not enough time for the next scheduled contestant, a male who was a toothpick salesman. (Thank you, TV.com!!!!!)

I also thought, at first, that she had a brain akin to that of a small dinosaur, but soon -- i.e., what can befall you when you marry a Yank -- it became (reasonably) apparent that she was actually quite droll but paralyzed by fear. Thanks very much.

For instance, among the questions first asked of most guests were if he/she worked for a profit-making organization, non-profit org or a branch of the government (local or federal). For this guest, that question was the last to be asked.

The "woman weatherman" - from a time when women were mostly home-makers, teachers, nurses or stewardesses. Ms Sheridan's witty intimation that "awful things happen when you're married to a Yankee", contrasts the host's (by today's standards) wildly sexist "Candy" comment. From her very concise, composed answers, she does give the impression that still waters run deep - alas, in an age, in which women were expected to be seen, not heard. Many thanks for the uploads.
