What's My Line? - Andy Williams; Maurice Edelman [panel]; Phyllis Newman [panel] (Jun 9, 1963)

[@meirwise1107]

Andy Williams was the greatest crooner of them all. He sang in public from the age of 5 to 81. He had a four octave range and perfect pitch. He was handsome, talented, modest, charitable, encouraged new talent, a great family man, son, brother, husband, father. I bought his albums aged 13 and wore them out. I saw him live in concert in London. RIP Mr Williams.

[@rtflone]

I understand Andy was also an excellent barber. Just kidding, that was Perry Como. Andy Williams was indeed a one in a million talent and human being. I can't hear anyone sing Moon River w/o comparing it to him..

[@stevengolden9009]

One of his Christmas specials from 1966 featuring a young Donny Osmond is out there on KZbin and it is great to watch!

[@petermalanchuk8210]

Hi, @meirwise1107, thanks for your comment. Andy Williams was very handsome, I didn't think about his looks back in 1963 when I was 10 years old, now that I see him again in these old KZbin videos, wow, such looks and a great voice to match. Robert Goulet was on a very similar level as Andy Williams, in fact they both did an album together, with the song, "I'd Rather Be Rich"; they both starred in the movie of the same name in 1964. I miss those days.

[@VickyRBenson]

My husband and I loved Andy Williams’ singing. “Moon River” was “our song.” He took me to Branson, Missouri, where we heard him sing his signature song in his Moon River Theatre not too long before he died.

Funny thing, I was just watching an Archive of American Television interview with Andy Williams and they asked him about his guest appearances on various programs, including this one. He couldn't recall it at all. He thought the interviewer was mistaken, so I decided to check it out. One of the most memorable disguised voices I've ever heard, and another great performance by Andy. I really wish it could have gone on a while longer.

Seems Dorothy got by with about four consecutive “no” answers re the cattle product. As an aside, these cattle scratchers are still in use today. The scratchers are impregnated with insecticides and can be strung up between two trees that are relatively close in proximity.

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

gomphrena -beautiful flower- Those were the type of “no” answers that John Daly usually answers with a “yes” because of the way the are asked, like “Yes, there are no ...whatever the question pertained to...”. I don’t know why John didn’t answer those questions starting with the “Yes, ...”. The panelists got good at asking ‘no” questions in a way to get “yes” answers.

[@maureen3134]

John thought there was going to be trouble for the panel, and there should have been, but as always, Bennett seemed to be able to pluck the right name out of the air. I will never believe there weren’t shenanigans going on to help out the panel.

Happily, I will (very soon) have a copy of every episode aired on GSN from here on. I have all but one or two already, and those are on their way to me (from Australia!). I should also be able to fill in all of the older shows I haven't posted, that have aired on GSN, and correct a lot-- if not all-- of the dozen or so with a/v glitches.

[@VahanNisanian]

What's My Line? Terrific news! Also, I haven't shared with you this until now, but I might as well. I have one thing in common with Arlene Francis: We both have Armenian heritage. If you couldn't tell by my last name, I am Armenian-American. Most Armenian last names end with either "Ian" or "Yan". Arlene had an Armenian father named Aram Kazanjian. She even looks like how most Armenian women typically look like.

[@WhatsMyLine]

I didn't even know Arlene was Armenian. I didn't know you were Armenian either, but my not knowing that is probably a bit less surprising. :)

[@VahanNisanian]

What's My Line? It's alright, Gary. No harm done.

[@savethetpc6406]

***** I have had several good friends of Armenian heritage and even attended a few meetings of an Armenian cultural club in college (although I am not Armenian myself), so I knew about the -ian/yan name thing. I had actually been under the impression that *only* Armenian names had this ending, but I have more recently come across people whose names end in -ian who turned out not to be Armenian.

[@kentetalman9008]

[@soulierinvestments]

This is the only episode in which Dorothy Kilgallen and Phyllis Newman appear together. At the beginning of the year, Dorothy missed 10 of the first 18 live broadcasts and taping sessions and Phyllis appeared every time in her place, leading me [and I am sure others in 1963] to speculate that G-T were grooming her just in case to replace Dorothy if Dorothy did not pull herself together. I wonder if hurt feelings or resentments surfaced behind the broadcast scene. Phyllis could have filled in for Dorothy in Spring 1965 when Dorothy injured herself in a fall and missed seven broadcasts and taping sessions - but did not. This is Phyllis’s last WML appearance until December 1965, when she and a bunch of other lady writers and actresses auditioned to replace Dorothy.

[@philippapay4352]

soulierinvestments - Just guessing on this and I really could be way off base at this juncture because Phyllis Newman became such a frequent guest on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show while he was still in NYC. But at this time she was having her babies with Adolph Green and on this show was pregnant with Amanda Green. She was also at the height of her initial successes on Broadway and certainly did not need the money. But she may have considered a regular spot here beneficial as exposure to the general public in America to promote all her acting ventures. I would think if they were considering replacing Dorothy at this time that Bennett might have put forward the widow, Kitty Carlisle, of his best friend, Moss Hart, who had died suddenly two years earlier as she may have been ready to consider some minor work again while rearing two teens without a father. But, perhaps not. Bennett did like both Green and Newman, too. It does all fit with Dorothy's increasing absences after her disastrous love affair and inability to complete the book she had promised Bennett on deadline due to an advance.

[@MrWindermere123]

Just to be a pedantic smartarse now, Bennett Cerf asked the last challenger if the product could be imbibed through the mouth and he got a yes. 'Imbibed' means that it - spaghetti - could be drunk when as a solid food that deserved a no. I think John Daly let it pass because time was running out. By the way, as an English viewer I was glad but mystified to see Mr Edelman on the panel - I've never heard of him.

Elsie M. There is a comment by you, further down on this page, in which you wrote: "I must be the only one who dislikes Phyllis as a panelist!

I wanted to reply to that comment, but for some reason there was no reply "button" there, so I'm replying here instead. I hadn't planned to say anything to disagree with all those who obviously think she's great, but I agree with you about Phyllis Newman. She's pretty, bright at times, and seems like a nice person, but she just annoys me as panelist for some reason, and I cannot agree with those here who have stated that she seems to fit right in on the panel. I don't think we're totally alone in this opinion though, judging by TomasTigre's comments, further up on this page. On the other hand, I cannot agree with you about Dorothy's hairdos -- sorry -- though I do think your "bird nest" description of them is apt. I love the icon next to your name, though -- is that Arlene with Jerry Mahoney?

[@jazzvampire]

SaveThe TPC Ahh, yes, it was pointed out to me by What's My Line? that there is a bug of some sort on YT preventing such direct responses! How odd!

[@TomasTigre]

I hate when panelists ask "do you like what you do?" to the contestants. How is that supposed to help them? I also hate that Phyllis always asks if the product would be found on the main floor of a two story house. I mean is there anything that would exclusively be found on the second floor of a house?

[@WhatsMyLine]

Wow, that's a lotta hate. :) But I will concede that there's only one thing I can really think of that can *only* be found on the second floor of a house: the top of the staircase from the first floor.

[@soulierinvestments]

This question does two things. If the answer is yes, then we have something associated with kitchens or dining rooms or garages. If the answer is no, then we something associated with bedrooms and bathrooms.

[@WhatsMyLine]

The house I grew up in had the kitchen and dining room on the second floor, and the garage was (of course) on the ground floor. Fairly standard, suburban split ranch house. So I don't think that logic quite works. Though I can't see the garage ever being on the second floor (I'll grant that), I would tend to agree-- without the hate-- that it's not a terribly useful question, nor is it when they ask "Can it be found in one particular room of the house?" I've rarely, if ever, seen that elicit anything very useful in the questioning.

[@TomasTigre]

What's My Line? I shouldn't have said hate. Hate was too strong a word, 'get annoyed' is a better term. I mean its not like asking a mystery guest if they ever studied dentistry...

TomasTigre I appreciate that-- and I assume that when you mention the dentistry nonsense, it's a reference to my having commented elsewhere on how annoying I find it when Dorothy does that sort of thing!

Is spaghetti a vegetable?

[@ihatey0utube]

depends on what kind. if its made of vegetables, usually for people who are going on diets or want to be healthier, then yes. but traditionally, the noodles in spaghetti are a grain product for they are made out of flour.

Andy was married to Claudine "sure shot" Longet when this episode was made. At 17.40 Bennet Cerf turns his head sideways.....then next time around he 'guesses' that the celeb is Andy Williams 'out of the blue'. Suspicious.

[@piustwelfth]

I think he knew immediately. See first question.

[@rtususian]

I love Andy Williams but his responses were increasingly annoying!! LOL

[@laverite9456]

Thought it was clever and anyway the audience loved it.

Dorthy at 4:03... I'm in LOVE!!!!

I used to watch The Andy Williams show every week until the horrible Osmond Brothers became regulars. YUCK!

[@bettycogswell9851]

The Osmonds were awesome and Andy loved them...

Why does Daly always ask if it is "Miss or Mrs."? Seems like it is none of his business.

[@lauracollins4195]

G. Green - He’s not prying into personal matters; he asks so he knows how to address the person in the course of the game. Courteous manners from that time. :)

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

@@lauracollins4195 Yet he called Arlene Francis and Dorothy Kilgallen "Miss Arlene" and "Miss Dorothy Killgallen"...

[@lauracollins4195]

Lars Rye Jeppesen - Right, because it was a long-standing tradition to address professional/show business women by the name under which they became famous. We see it with the mystery guests as well... everyone knew that Lucille Ball was married to Desi Arnaz, and yet she was still addressed as “Miss Ball.” The famous Mrs. George Burns was often called “Miss Gracie Allen.” :)

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

@@lauracollins4195 Yep, thanks..

[@sdacj]

Because John Charles Daly is a gentleman, and wants to address them by their proper title. A man is called Mr. whether he's married or not, but a woman is only called Mrs. if she's married.

I don't why the swimmer couldn't have worn her swimsuit. Yummy!

[@loissimmons6558]

+Joe Postove Because that would have given away her line, silly! Besides, with a last name of Revell, she should have worn a bolero. Leave the swimsuit to Bo Derek.
