He clearly deserved a "no" to the question as he posed it, but he got John and the rest of the panel (and perhaps even himself, unless he knowingly misled John) so mixed up reviewing the question that John ended up incorrectly giving him a "yes" for it!

Have a tid-bit of trivia on Chubby. How did he get that name? Fats Domino's wife. They were having dinner together trying to come up with a name for him. Fat's wife said, "Well we have a Fats Domino, why not a Chubby Checker?" and so it began. Have interviewed Chubby a couple of times. Very sharp wit and quite intelligent.

rick charles After school Evans would entertain customers at his various jobs, including Fresh Farm Poultry in the Italian Market on Ninth Street and at the Produce Market with songs and jokes. It was his boss at the Produce Market, Tony A., who gave Evans the nickname "Chubby". The store owner of Fresh Farm Poultry, Henry Colt, was so impressed by Ernest's performances for the customers that he, along with his colleague and friend Kal Mann, who worked as a song-writer for Cameo-Parkway Records,[5] arranged for young Chubby to do a private recording for American Bandstand host Dick Clark. It was at this recording session that Evans got his stage name from Clark's wife, who asked Evans what his name was. "Well", he replied, "my friends call me 'Chubby'". As he had just completed a Fats Domino impression, she smiled and said, "As in Checker?" That little play on words ('chubby' meaning 'fat', and 'checkers', like 'dominoes', being a game) got an instant laugh and stuck, and from then on, Evans would use the name "Chubby Checker".[

Here's a story on Lavinia Berdge from a 2006 e-mail newsletter for the community of Mt. Gretna (PA). Since the story is buried in the newsletter which has rudimentary formatting, I am going to copy and paste it here: QUESTIONS READERS ASK [] Here in Burbank, Calif., I’m working to track down people who were on the classic TV game show, “What’s My Line?” In 1962, a young woman named Lavinia Berdge appeared as a “lipstick tester.” Since it was live TV (without repeats), she probably has never seen her episode. But according to my research on the Internet, The Mt. Gretna Newsletter several years ago mentioned someone by that name. She may not be the same Lavinia Berdge, but how many could there be? Anyway, we would like to offer her a DVD copy of her appearance in exchange for her memories of the show. If you have a way to contact her, could you please pass along this request? We can-and did. Lavinia no longer lives in Mt. Gretna. But she still reads this newsletter from her home in Arizona. And she was indeed the “lipstick tester” on “What’s My Line” 44 years ago. A PR guy thought up the idea and suggested Lavinia’s name, since she worked in quality control at the former Hazel Bishop cosmetics company’s R&D lab. A producer on the show liked the concept and called one morning asking Lavinia to rush to the studio and fill in for a contestant who had suddenly cancelled. Remember, this was in the days of live TV. Lavinia scrambled across Manhattan from her New Jersey apartment, arriving just 15 minutes before airtime. Before she knew it, she was onstage, facing the blackboard and hearing John Daly say, “And now our next contestant. Will you enter and sign in please?” “Somehow I immediately remembered my name and wrote, ‘Lavinia Berdge.’ Everything after that was a cup of tea. Arlene Francis, Bennett Cerf, Dorothy Kilgallin and Martin Gable were the panelists, and they were good. They guessed my ‘secret’ in just seven questions. But Mr. Daly flipped the cards to the maximum of $50 (about 25 percent of my weekly salary then). It wasn’t bad for about ‘10 minutes of fame’,” she says. The experience led to other TV appearances. During a controversy about the safety of hair sprays, Lavinia became a spokesperson for the company on NBC and other New York stations. She spent 43 years in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries before retiring to Exton, where she owned an art gallery and frame shop before moving here. She left a few years ago for her new home in Prescott, Ariz. Now, she’s looking forward to receiving that DVD of her first TV appearance and seeing herself-“44 years younger and 45 pounds lighter.”

This was a time when women were publicly referred to as *BROADS* or 'girls' by men. This was also a time when almost EVERY FAMOUS WOMAN ACTRESS (whether they admit it or not) had sex with studio brass at one time or another to get a significant part or a leading part in high budget movie or Broadway play. Men and women would act sophisticated and proper in public but whored around in private, cheated on their spouses, and looked down on each other. Dorothy Kilgallen was cheating on her husband while filming the show and her husband had numerous sexual flings while married to her. Dorothy would drink heavily and used various drugs for depression and to rest. This was also a time of EXTREME racism in the entire nation (including New York) Nat King Cole stated in an interview, when asked about being on WML, that he had to come into the theater at the back entrance and remain in a dirty room the size of a small closet until his guest appearance at the end of the show. ALL the famous African American guests had to stay in a small, dirty dressing room until called to the show at the end.

@icturner233 жыл бұрын
There’s no such thing as a hard or soft A, but it was certainly striking that he said it with a short one. The As in ‘fat’ and ‘father’ in English are either side of the A in most languages, so it’s logical that when anglicizing Pennsylvania Dutch it could go either way. It has been standardized as a long vowel now but it’s logical that it was less so by then as they were somewhat less well known and much less talked about in audio media.

I thought the answer of "yes" to the question to Chubby Check of "are you less famous for singing than something else" was a little misleading. I can only assume they meant he was more famous for "The Twist" however he was famous for that dance because of the song he sang about it.

The Twist when it was at it's peak was probably as big or bigger than any other craze ever (do we even have crazes anymore)? Chubby Checker was pulling down 10,000 dollars a night in 1960-62 before it all disappeared almost as fast as it came. I think in these days of Covid-19 The Twist could make a nice comeback. I wish it would. I was 5 years old in December 1961 and while I remember it, l was too young to really appreciate it. Come to think of it, if I had been a teenager then, I wouldn't have really appreciated the coolness of the times, then. I guess that's how the times work, huh?

"Phoning to Rome" means she was milking and double checking her sources in Cinecitta to get info on the Elizabeth Taylor -- Richard Burton scandal. That scandal also eventually produced a movie called "Cleopatra." If I were Chubby Checker and Joan Collins, I am not sure I would want to be associated with an April Fools broadcast. It's too bad the production staff did not have the courage to pawn off a complete unknown as a mystery guest on such an occasion. Now that would be funny.
@loissimmons65585 жыл бұрын
+soulierinvestments The idea of a complete unknown as a mystery guest sounds clever, but might be too clever by half as it would be impossible for the panel to have any chance of guessing the person. What occurred to me as an April Fool's possibility would be to have as a Mystery Guest at the beginning of the program an entertainer known for his impersonations. For example, let's say it was David Frye. He would have come on and the entire time being questioned, he would do Nixon or LBJ, for example. Then for the third segment, they would bring Frye back, doing someone completely different, like Liberace or Truman Capote.
@neilmidkiff5 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure it would come off as funny. Remember when Danny Kaye thought it would be funny to lie when he was a mystery guest? He had a blast himself, but it was frustrating and distracting, and at least for me, watching it fell flat.

I was not quite 5 yrs old when he appeared on that episode so by the time I got older the novelty worn off and honestly I cannot really recall him speaking much about it other than and this he spoke of often.......This episode was the 2nd time he went to be taped in NY. The first taping was postponed and he had to return then appeared on this episode. That episode that was canceled had Darren McGavin on it. Every time Darren McGavin appeared on TV my father would go on and on how he met him. He became a fan of the show the Night Stalker, I had assumed it was because he met Darrin and talked with him. That is what stands out on his talking of this show. I am sure he spoke of Chubby and Joan but I cannot recall. He passed in 1980 so I can't ask him. He was big in the Pretzel business it was his passion and he had to do with the rotating gear driven carousel soft pretzel machines that were popular in the 60-80's. . When the net got popular I did a lot of research on trying to find this episode, this was some 10 years ago. I had no idea what year it was or who was on it. I went to the show's website going through the archives using Darren McGavin as a starting point and after a lot of watching films I came upon it, it took quite a while. I put a request on the site who I was and how do I obtain a copy. An enthusiast of the show contacted me and offered to send me a DVD of this episode he refused any compensation for it he enjoyed helping folks out. I received the DVD and made copies for my fathers sisters and surprised them with it. It was very emotional for them. You tube then became popular and now, things like this are easily found. This is the first I visited this site in years and was surprised at all the banter on it. There was nothing on this page last time I was on it.

John mentions visiting London last summer to meet Joan Collins on the set of "The Road to Hong Kong" "The Road to Hong Kong" was filmed from July 31-November 1961, according to Variety Magazine, so that's about right. Also, John said the picture was going to open in July 1962, but IMDB says it was released in May of that year. Maybe they changed plans and decided to release it earlier.

The premiere of The Road to Hong Kong was in Chicago on May 26, 1962. A month later, on June 27, the film opened simultaneously on Broadway and in four Long Island move theaters, according to The Long Island Star-Journal of June 28. The New York Times confirms "the simultaneous release of 'Road to Hong Kong' in 13 metropolitan theaters on June 27, 1962" in Bosley Crowther's July 6, 1964 column.

@Walterwhiterocks7 жыл бұрын
I've noticed sometimes they do look at each other and other times they look directly at the guest. I think if they have socialized with the guest in the past they are less likely to stare because of the familiarity. When less seen, more glamorous mystery guests are on the show, they focus on the guest immediately. As an example when Audrey Hepburn or Natalie Wood appeared, the panelists couldn't take their eyes off those beautiful women. But who could ? They were stunning.
