What's My Line? - Bloopers & Unexpected Moments [CLIPS VIDEO]

[@WhatsMyLine]

This has just become the first *original* video I've ever posted to pass the 100k view mark, a milestone which I would probably be crowing about here under any circumstances, but there's a particularly good reason for doing so now: To pay some form of tribute to the recently passed Robert M. whose major contribution to the creation of this video is noted in the description. I've missed him, and will continue to. R.I.P., Robert. And thank you, as always, to the many folks who've been such supportive viewers of this channel.

This show never fails to lift my mood. What a wonderful way to start the day! Clearly before celebrities took themselves too seriously and just had fun.

[@thecrew777]

Well, actually, celebrities did take themselves quite seriously, and in some cases, perhaps, a little too seriously. (The word "diva" comes to mind.) However, this show opened them up to being themselves and was wonderfully heart warming.

[@LindaHunkins]

I am amazed how people say times were better then., before penacilen and sulfa drugs,? People were crippled by polio. My baby had cancer surgery as a baby. He is now almost 44 from a disease that might have killed him in those " simpler times,." Ba grateful for the time we r living in.

[@vaec58]

I love to see what the ladies wore in the 50s and 60s..

[@luminiferous1960]

@@LindaHunkins Your knowledge of medical history is severely lacking. Sulfa antibiotics were first used in the 1930s, and they revolutionized medicine. After a few years, bacteria started to develop resistance to the sulfa drugs, and eventually penicillin replaced them as a first-line treatment. After World War II, Australia was the first country to make penicillin available for civilian use. In the U.S., penicillin was made available to the general public on March 15, 1945. Penicillin was being mass produced by June 1945 with production of 646 billion units per year. Fleming, Florey, and Chain shared the 1945 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the development of penicillin. in the early 1950s, the first successful polio vaccine was created by US physician Jonas Salk. Salk tested his experimental killed-virus vaccine on himself and his family in 1953, and a year later on 1.6 million children in Canada, Finland and the USA. The results were announced on 12 April 1955, and Salk’s inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) was licensed on the same day. By 1957, annual cases dropped from 58 000 to 5600, and by 1961, only 161 cases remained. What's My Line debuted on February 2, 1950, which was well after Sulfa drugs and Penicillin first became available to the public. The show ran on CBS until September 3, 1967, which was well after the polio vaccine became available.

[@kateluxor2986]

I discovered WML on television in the form of a local channel called BUZZR. Only they keep showing the same episodes over and over again so imagine my delight that in the first month on getting on the KZbin bandwagon, that I find this!! Last night as a matter of fact. I'm in my thirties and thanks to my upbringing I like classic movies, music and now television. These were the days of class and innocence. I like a little bit of modern television but for the most part can't stand it. It's fun to watch this type of show in B&W and see how well the panel got along. Such fun! Thank you for creating this channel and yes, I've subscribed. What a great find!

[@WhatsMyLine]

You have no possible way of knowing how gratifying it is to me personally to read this comment. Buzzr and the company that owns it have been a major problem for this channel for a year now, having gone on the attack due to Buzzr's launch last year. All of these shows are in the public domain, but that hasn't stopped them from filing literally hundreds of copyright claims, which I have to fight off one by one. Not only don't they have any legal right to do what they're doing, but as you so correctly noted, they're not even bothering to run the shows themselves! They've been showing the same small handful of episodes now over a dozen times, leaving over **700** to languish in their "vault". It's a disgrace. To think that GSN used to treat this show with more respect when they were running it than the company that actually owns the film library (Fremantle)! Thanks for your comment, sincerely, and I'm glad you discovered the channel. I've also got one for To Tell The Truth, if you're interested in that series too: kzbin.info/door/ZkBUfTQ_tmKAlUV_sQqrTQfeatured

Mr Randall was a very witty man ! A class act all the way !

[@freeguy77]

@@jubalcalif9100 Tony had long been one of my favorite tv (and in 2 movies) people, long before playing Felix Unger in the tv series "The Odd Couple" (1970-74). I saw him in a live stage production of the series with Jack Klugman in Miami in the early-'70s. He was terrific in "The Mating Game" (1959) with Debbie Reynolds, and with a very attractive and younger Shirley Jones in "Fluffy" (1965). What a loss it was with those two, and so many other highly-talented actors and actresses of that 1955-2000 era. Hollywood has gone sharply downhill since, with fewer real talents (with some exceptions) and definitely the classiness of them has also precipitously declined.

I think Dorothy knew Arlene was HIGH.. I had never had seen Arlene like this, very funny.

[@LazyIRanch]

I think Arlene would have been a blast to be around, especially as a drinking buddy. I get the feeling her sense of humor was much racier (and even funnier) off camera!

[@CarolMortensen-e2b]

Arlene does appear as if she was at a cocktail party before the show.

"If you can pluck sheep, then we have to assume that you can shear chickens-- and that's no yoke!" ~ Several times I watched the video clip where Victor Borge was "attempting" to drink a glass of water. I laughed so hard that my throat hurt. That was beautifully staged, beautifully orchestrated, and truly showed what an amazing comedian and humorist he really was in all facets of his creative work. This compilation video of bloopers and mistakes was beautifully put together. It went by way too fast because I really enjoyed it--and I laughed most of the way through. I used to watch this show with my mother when I was a child back in the 1950s, and so now I get to "relive some of those childhood memories" when watching reruns of this program, which I've been binge-watching for a while now because I'm not getting tired of them. There's just so much entertainment, so much fun and such revelation of humility and joy, all of which have been captured in the previous viewers' comments to this one. Thanks to all those who wrote comments in paying the proper respect and love for all those folks who made this show, "WML," so successful and so beautiful. (P.S. One of the comments I read stated that Steve Allen looked like Clark Kent of Superman fame of the 1950s. For all of these years I kept thinking, subconsciously, that Steve Allen reminded me of somebody, but I couldn't not put my finger on it; it just did not come to the surface--until I read one of the comments that precedes the one I'm writing here. Thank you for such an astute and humorous observation; it was both funny and appreciated. And with respect to Arlene Francis, I thought she was the funniest of all the panel members, including the various guests that held that particular "guest spot" over the 17 years. She was really a joy to see and hear (of course), as she demonstrated a quick wit and an "intelligent eye" that beautifully showcased her appreciation for the value of humor and understanding the intelligence that belies it; and she had perfect timing for the delivering of humorous comments and observations. Ms. Francis was just plain funny! And, again, speaking of the viewers who contributed comments prior to this one, I have to say that, collectively, they were beautifully written tributes to a provocatively entertaining program. The comments all held within them a deep respect for all of the elements that made this program so successful, especially the respect shown through the various tributes given towards the panel and to the loveable host, John Charles Daly. They are missed, but may God continue to Bless them all.) ~drs (06/19/24)

22:52 In this 45 second improv, Borge proves he is a master clown who dressed in a tuxedo instead of heavy makeup and a funny outfit. Even though he doesn't say a word in this case, he was equally adept at physical and verbal comedy. A unique talent!

[@CellGames2006]

Victor Borge is a one man comedy show.

Thanks very much for your editing perseverance, making this an absolute delight to watch!

[@Mollexi]

Dorothy was such a kind soul. Seeing her help the guest with her dress and just hearing her wholesome laugh almost moves me to tears

[@bruceparker9353]

Thanks Gary! Its great to see all these people again!

[@dobbyafreeelf3007]

This was fantastic! I laughed so hard I cried! Thank you so much for posting. :)

[@Bijoushow]

Funny stuff!! Thanks for posting this treat. Happy two year anniversary!

[@caitlinfitzpatrick836]

No matter how many times I watch this video, I still laugh just as hard if not harder every time.

I'm so happy to read that-- thanks, Caitlin!!!

[@LandondeeL]

Very good! Hope someone out there could make a video of the Best of Daly's "Small Conferences"!

[@savethetpc6406]

@LandondeeL I _like_ that idea!!

[@carmelstainsby57]

Did u notice that Arlene wears her heart necklace in nearly every show

[@bas9841]

@@carmelstainsby57 the wikipedia WML page says the heart necklace was a gift from her husband

[@bethe192]

@@bas9841 It was . She never took it off. It was stolen by a mugger in later years, poor lady was crushed.

[@lorenanders702]

Great idea

[@joelake7986]

Great job on this! Lots of laughs here. I don't believe I've heard Groucho's song before. What a treat!

[@WhatsMyLine]

Glad you enjoyed it-- thanks for the comment! And if you hadn't seen that Groucho clip before now, then that means you haven't seen the episode it comes from, an oversight which I highly recommend correcting for the sake of your funny bone. :) Funniest WML ever, and it has more views by FAR than any other episode, out of 760 posted! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmfaqaWCn6-imK8

[@blainj5687]

19:42 listen to John Daly's cackle there haha. That is his laugh for sure

[@fuzzyburnette7161]

Wonderful video. Two of the sharpest comedic mindsbelonged to Groucho & the Great Dane Victor Borgea.
