I grew up in the sixties with this on Sunday nights. A more dignified and courteous time on television.

I haven’t heard anyone say “fooey” since my mother died in 1980. She used to say that. Miss you mom 😇🥰‼️

During my high school years 1959 - 1963 I watched most episodes of WML after church Sunday nights. I still recognize about 99.9% of all the people on the program; probably less than 1% of them are still alive today, and no one younger than about 50 would know any of them. (I never heard of Mr Houk.) Once they had an old man who at age 5 had witnessed the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in 1865, that's 155 years ago. He said he had felt sorry for that poor man who broke his leg.

I believe he was on an early episode of I've Got a Secret.

I’m watching this just after watching the ‘nudist camp’ episode - why did Dorothy age so much? Both the host and Arlene look pretty much the same, Dorothy looks like a different person?

It is Arlene who is risque here. Dorothy was indeed holding back her tongue.

[@Celisar1]

I really would like to know what Arlene saw in her husband. The difference in attractiveness is HUGE but more importantly he doesn’t strike me as a warm, charming , witty or in any other way attractive personality.

[@RichardHannay]

Martin Gabel was a prominent theatre actor and that’s where she and Arlene met. They were both way younger when they met and married and Martin looked handsomer back then.

[@janetmarletto6667]

Mr.Gabel was tried and true. At a time when women needed spousal support to be able to have careers,Mr. Gavel encouraged Arlene. She blossomed thanks to that support. God bless him. He was confident enough to handle having a successful wife without jealousy. Dorothy did not have that!

[@stephanieperry1119]

Once again, Bennett Cerf butchers the pronunciation of someone's last name. Even after everyone else said it correctly, he still referred to the new Yankee manager as Mr. "Hoak". What a dullard.

[@sophiemorrison9820]

I have seen countless shows where Bennett Cerf mispronounced even common everyday words as well. It's so odd because he's a literate man who headed a publishing company.

So sad Dorothy K. died of alcohol/drug-overdose in 1965

[@tilesetter1953]

Wally T I saw her appearance on WML of 7 Nov 1965 and many others, and she did not look like an alcoholic or a drug addict to me, nor did she appear suicidal!!! I know there was lots of talk in the media about misterious circumstances, her notes on her book about JFK were not found, her secrletary did two days later. You can believe what you want, and so can I.

[@bettycogswell9851]

She was murdered as sure as I'm writing this...

[@shirleyrombough8173]

No she didn't. She was investigating the JFK assassination and got too close. Some people who know more than I about these things said she was murdered to shut her up.
