Zelda Roth was born in New York City in 1908, the daughter of Herman and Phoebe (Schweitzer) Roth, both Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. She was married and divorced twice, to Walter Creutzmann (1903-1984) and Reed Suplee (1916-1986). She spent a lifetime as an activist in social nudism, as an advocate for LGBTQ rights, and as a researcher in psychic phenomena. With her then-husband Reed Suplee she owned and managed three nudist resorts including the Sunny Rest Resort near Palmerton, Pennsylvania (still in operation as of 2023). In June, 1953 she appeared as a "nudist camp" owner on the CBS-TV show "What's My Line?" under the pseudonym Yolande Reed. During the 1960s she appeared in several nudist movies including "Diary of a Nudist," 1961. Sunny Rest was featured in the August, 1963 issue of Playboy magazine, which included several black-and-white photos of Ms Suplee in the nude. (Contrary to some reports, the nude photos were not full frontal.) In 1965 Ms Suplee was hired to manage the operations of the Erickson Educational Foundation (EEF), a nonprofit organization controlled and funded by Reed Erickson, a transgender philanthropist. The EEF contributed millions of dollars to the early development of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) movement. In addition to philanthropy, the EEF functioned as an information and counseling resource for transsexuals, created a referral network of physicians and psychologists, published educational pamphlets for transsexuals and their families, and conducted outreach to medical professionals, clergy, law enforcement personnel and academics. Ms Suplee was the public face of EEF until it closed in 1977. Zelda Suplee died in Los Angeles in 1989, being 80 years of age

Excellent comedy! This is the 2nd WML? episode with Steve Allen where he literally walks right into the joke with his line of questioning. Considering how his talent and career developed into the cutting edge of TV comedy, he obviously had some sort of internal receptivity (2nd sense) to what would be funny. From watching, you have to wonder if he was tipped in advance, but then he would also have to have been an excellent actor to pull off the impression of not knowing in advance. I didn't detect any acting. That's just genuine raw talent on display.

Steve's questions and the audience knowing laughter was timeless comedy--witty and risqué show! nothing on tv like this now--all reality and stupidity

Reality, stupidity or carefully rehearsed and trimmed for time (The new ''To Tell the Truth'') I guess they just don't respect people's intelligence.

"... nothing on tv like this now--all reality and stupidity" There is nothing even close to resembling reality when so many of those so-called "reality shows" are scripted like they are.

I watched these with my parents in my ill-spent youth and I do believe this is the episode that got the most consistent, sustained laughter from the audience, thus confusing the panelists.

Because the other group of people referred to as a "colony" were lepers... and that kind of colony was basically a place to dump off and ostracize people stricken with leprosy. While not ill-intentioned, there is a point in the correction made.
