Bee was also a guest on 'What's My Line.' She tests dynamite, for moisture.

0:15--Announcer Kenny Williams, who later worked for producers Merrill Heatter and Bob Quigley on such fine shows as "Video Village", "Hollywood Squares", "Gambit" and "High Rollers".

19:40 A very prophetic Fred Allen line about not being around much longer. :((

[@patriciamooney928]

Don't take the cigarettes I am yelling at the screen.

Shame Fred’s health kept him from this gig. Perfect vehicle for him.

A lot more than "Judge for Yourself" ended up being!

George Lewis: What in living hell are you talking about?

[@marcpower4167]

He did guest host at least once at least.

What's everyone's guess on how much of the "banter" here was scripted in advance? Even Fred seems rehearsed in a way never visible on WML. (Or almost never; some of the Hal Block free guesses seemed to have been prepared ahead of time.) Bennett in his oral history mentions the very important point that the WML regulars were picked because they could talk spontaneously, and oh, what a difference that makes.
