5:16 Hy Gardner to the Lion Tamer: Were you ever on 'What's My Lion"?

[@kenyongray2615]

The format of Bud not collecting the ballots saves time and the panel can speak for themselves. Now the panel has to get used to giving their reason for their vote without Bud asking why all the time. I am noticing that Kitty Carlisle enjoys herself on the show. Thanks for the video.

First contestants - Kitty says she is a feminist and that's why she votes for #1. That was an interesting statement for 1957.

With the one with the Butler, WOW did he ever have a serious look on his face lol (not even HALF of a smile lol)

[@Jasper7182009]

John J. Anthony also appeared on Groucho Marx's "You Bet Your Life!" at about the same time, so i knew from the git-go which one it was.

[@StephenBurrus4444]

Even in 1957, Kitty Carlisle wrote the #1 as a roman numeral!

[@grdn02100]

#2 Lion Tamer was stupid on purpose "I IMAGINE they use real lions" "I was a double at several studios" it already revealed that was only once. very sneaky

[@Gravydog316]

doesn't Kitty look & sound like Arlene Francis?? I sure think so ha ha

[@Walterwhiterocks]

No. I love them both, but I don't think they look anything alike.

[@sharynknight6138]

Does #2 lion tamer look like Peter Falk to anyone else beside me??

[@tvine1]

It’s interesting to see people laughing uproariously at such innocent, folksy fun. This wouldn’t be remotely funny today. Pity.

[@estang1030]

True. So sad

The woman Instrument Flight Instructor said she worked out of Teterboro, "NY". She knows very well that Teterboro Airport is in New Jersey. I'll bet the producers told her to say "NY". :-/

Was the March 12, 1957 show cigarette-sponsored?

[@zacharydunlap-tunnage2220]

You get the idea that someone was stupid enough to complain about people smoking on TV, even though this was back in the 1950's?

[@VahanNisanian]

Zachary Dunlap-Tunnage Gary just posted in the wrong order, apparently. He posted 3/12/57 today.

[@zacharydunlap-tunnage2220]

***** I understand. My question still stands, though. Do you think someone watching this was crazy enough to complain about smoking on the air?

[@janeiwasduncan8463]

People should have complained ( a lot) about smoking on TV...looking back there was a of smoking on TV...you wonder how many suffered from the effects from that nasty habit???

[@jonvater8424]

Ralph growls: "It says here in the affidavit..." Zzzzzzzz

[@donnawoodford6641]

Another grouchy old man.☹️

Someone must have told Hy Gardner he is witty. He ain't!
