What's My Line? - Eamonn Andrews hosts! Red Buttons; Martin Gabel [panel] (Jun 28, 1959)

[@ryanschroer]

You can tell Andrews was much more comfortable as a guest host than the others were. He didn't try to be John, like the others did.

[@wschmrdr]

Hey, when you host for 8 years, you're comfortable in the position, so why change? Rare chance for American audiences to have at least somewhat of an idea of how the British show goes.

[@kristabrewer9363]

I dunno, I thought Bennet was a great host!

[@jacquelinebell6201]

I liked that he wasn't all handsy over the guests. Not touchy feely and had respect for personal space.

[@RonGerstein-tf5tp]

He was a host of a couple of UK shows; WML and This is Your Life

I'm from North Carolina, so, Mr. Gabel, I posthumously make you an honorary Tar Heel. We would have been honored if you had been from our state.

[@graperonto]

What I particularly like was how he let the contestants tell the panel what they did.

[@ToddSF]

graperonto -- Yup. He had his own particular style and that was part of it -- it worked very well to let the contestants state their professions if they "defeated" the panel.

[@davidsanderson5918]

Yeah and the panel liked thst too. Especially the last guest with her accent. It made the reveal much more punchy and raised the roof.

[@robertmelson2130]

I enjoyed Eamonn Andrews' performance a lot more than I expected. His eight years experience shows--he's the best guest host we've seen. Daly has his own talents, but he could have taken some lessons from Andrews in a few areas. Dorothy at 21:44 "He's really worse than John!" She was, of course, referring to the rigor with which he controlled the game and the panel.

[@JRIJR75]

Agreed. Something about his voice was very enjoyable, and a nice change of pace from John (who is still an amazing moderator).

[@bluecamus5162]

I love the fact that he brought his British-ness and his own style to the American show, instead of trying to imitate John Daly.

[@dariawells7438]

Notice Bennett tried to interrupt with a silly question like he did with John all the time and Eamonn politely shut him up without even trying.

[@MrDavey2010]

How professional and at ease is Eamonn Andrews. Very impressive!

[@slaytonp]

I did note his adoption of a rather "American" accent, compared to the way he spoke when he was a panelist. Sometimes he sounded almost like John Daly.

Eamonn Andrews was a great presenter, and very modest. He was also a great amateur boxer, being Irish middleweight champion at one time.

[@esmeephillips5888]

He started on radio as a boxing commentator and became an all-purpose host and linkman on BBC television, as well as the launch director of the Irish service in 1961. No doubt the first guest was chosen as a nod to Andrews's fistic past.

I never thought anyone could match John Daly's charm, and ease of handling the show, but Mr. Andrews did a great job, by far the best sub ever, some were absolutely horrible and dull.

This was a real treat! I love Eamonn Andrews! His style was so different than JDC but just as enjoyable in different ways. He moderated similarly to the way he did as chair on the BBC version, of which I have seen 1-1/4 episodes. It's such a shame that nearly all the BBC run is lost.

[@16Lizards]

Michael Mantle LOL just realized that!! You're right. :}

[@bluebear1985]

I think a few episodes he did for ITV in the mid-80s are still around somewhere. During one series of that version, they tried having five panel members instead of the usual four.

[@paulmason329]

The BBC didn't repeat What's My Line as it went out live and wasn't syndicated. However one or two were recorded for posterity Eamonn Andrews was offered the moderator/chairman role on the CBS version but he was concerned that he might be "cancelled" as US commercial TV was very fickle and he had family ties in Ireland Sadly the BBC did finish WML in 1963'and Eamonn Andrews worked for ITV the commercial British station . He bought the British rights for This Is Your Life, which he had hosted for the BBC. TIYL was to be his main show from 1969 until his death in 1987 ITV revived What's My Line in 1984 but by then EA was in poor health after the loss of his Irish based business interests.So this is what might have been.

[@alexzzzzzzzzzz247]

The striking difference with Eamonn Andrews is that he keeps the show moving, something which is obvious from the UK episodes that are still around. He doesn't tie the panel up in knots like John does, and as a result he's able to get through all the rounds without cutting any of them short. It might seem like he's strict with the panel, but really he's strict with the timekeeping.

[@Steff2929again]

Eamonn Andrews did a really good job.

[@moontheloon5]

Eamonn Andrews was a fantastic sub for John Daly! I always enjoy him on the panel as well, a very personable man. I did miss the camaraderie Daly has has with the regulars...felt as though something were missing, as when Dorothy passed away...not quite the same.

[@ToddSF]

moontheloon5 -- I agree. Eamonn Andrews kept things moving right along and was completely personable. Bearing in mind that no one could do it the way John Daly did, and that John Daly's way of doing it was so entertaining, I have to say that any guest moderator had his work cut out for him. However, Eamonn Andrews as a guest moderator was well more than merely adequate and was way better at it than Clifton Fadiman, whose personality wasn't quite right to moderate WML. Better than Bennett Cerf was a a guest moderator, too -- Bennett admitted moderating made him very uneasy and he was just too well suited to be a regular panelist. I'm certain it helped that Eamonn Andrews had moderated on the BBC's version of WML for as many years as he had, and he'd been a guest panelist enough on the U.S. version that he was familiar with the differences. So if John had to be out of town (which he very seldom was), Andrews was just the ticket for filling in.

[@Nicolas-zb9uw]

I share your opinion.

[@RobertJonesWightpaint]

[@saran3214]

I read the comments then watched the program. People were right, he really was good. Comanding, calm, at ease, funny, he ran the show. I think it was his extreme self confidence. I guess if you are the former midfleweight champ of a country hosting a tv show is a breeze. He did do the English version for years, and you can see why.

[@byrd56]

Eamonn Andrews was quite multi-talented over in Britain way back then. In addition to hosting the British version of "What's My Line?", he was also the UK's answer to Ralph Edwards on "This is Your Life". And that's to say nothing of Eamonn also having been a boxing commentator and chat show host. Plus in 1982, he also hosted a UK-US-Australia quiz show entitled "Top of the World", which was shown on PBS stations in the US, and whose US contestants played out of WPBT-2 Miami.

Eamonn was a rock star here. Talk about keeping the team in order when they were trying to be manipulative as they were with Clifton. Too bad he wasn't under consideration to come back to the USA to do the syndicated version. He would have been my first pick.

[@esmeephillips5888]

He could have written his own contract with any US network, but he was prime time in Britain, hosting 'This is Your Life' as well as WML, talk shows and sports coverage. He liked variety.

[@_ItsOnlyMe]

He would have been so much better than Soupy Sales! I guess they wanted to take the syndicated show in a much different, more casual direction. I can’t watch the syndicated version unless there’s a mystery guest I really want to see.

[@esmeephillips5888]

@@_ItsOnlyMe Unlike John, Eamonn never ventilated his acquaintance with the famous or tried to steal the show from 'my friends on the panel'. Andrews combined self-effacing modesty with a firm grip on procedure, applied with enough geniality not to come over as a bully. I like Daly, in truth can hardly imagine WML without him, but at times his grandstanding can become tiresome, as if he is afraid the audience will forget that he is a Real Newsman like Murrow and Cronkite.

[@loissimmons6558]

At the peak of his refereeing career, Ruby Goldstein was widely rated as one of the finest, if not #1. The one knock against him was something that Eamonn Andrews zeroed in on when he chatted with Goldstein after the panel quickly guessed him. Since Floyd Patterson was defending his title as undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World, there were many ring observers who felt Goldstein had called the bout too quickly, giving Ingemar Johansson the bout on a TKO. This was a charge that had been leveled against Goldstein in other fights as well. The one time that Goldstein went against this MO, it was tragic. It was the third bout between Emile Griffith and Benny "Kid" Paret. Paret was the reigning Welterweight Champion. Paret had lost the championship to Griffith in their first bout and regained it in their second. They fought for the third time at Madison Square Garden on March 24, 1962. It was televised nationally on ABC and I remember the fight well as any fight between two champions would generate a lot of interest in those days. In fact, I am fairly certain I watched that fight as my dad was a boxing fan (as was I at that time) and the Rangers weren't scheduled that night. (Hockey would have taken precedence if both had been on.) I was 9 years old. It was the first in a number of reasons why I am no longer a boxing fan. Paret had come close to winning the fight in the sixth round, but Griffith was saved by the bell. The 12th round was the quietest of the whole bout until Griffith backed Paret into a corner and hit him with a flurry of punches until Paret was no longer able to defend himself and had even fallen part way through the ropes. At some point, Griffith was holding up Paret with one hand and hitting him with the other. 29 consecutive punches were landed by Griffith (it was one of the first times instant replay was used to analyze a fight) before Goldstein finally stopped the bout. At that point, Paret slumped to the canvas and was taken to the hospital where he died 10 days later. While Goldstein defended his decision, he was haunted by the results and only refereed one more fight, two years later. Some blamed Goldstein for the death. Some blamed the NY Boxing Commission for allowing Paret to fight again so soon after three difficult fights (three months earlier, he had tried to move up to the middleweight division and lost badly to the Middleweight Champion, Gene Fullmer). Some noted the ferocity of Griffith's assault and tied it to a homosexual slur that Paret said to Griffith at the weigh-in that morning. Whatever the reason, the third Griffith-Paret fight began a decline in American's interest in boxing and effectively ended Goldstein's career as one of the top referees in the business.

Eamonn. Well done, mate! Not having Daly is like removing the furniture out of the sitting room but you parked yourself well and truly in the hotseat with humour, audacity and smooth aplomb. To be fair I wrote that before looking at the comments below because I was sure they'd be critical. No one likes change, after all! But hey, it looks like the regular viewers liked him too. Bless 'im. He was never what you would call a personality in the UK. His strength was in being neutral, passive and preparing ways for his guests on This Is Your Life (his most famous show) to be the focus.

I'm not sure what it is you heard, but I doubt you heard it correctly, or if so, Bennett seriously misspoke. The UK WML debuted a year after the US version-- WML was created by Goodson-Todman, who then licensed the format for many foreign countries, England being the first.

@@WhatsMyLine - Bennett did, indeed, misspeak, but he was immediately corrected by the other panel members. That's what I missed upon my first viewing. “Eamonn Andrews has been the ‘chairman’ for eight years - that’s longer, even, than John Daly has been obfuscating us here in New Yawk.” At that moment, something - probably my dog - momentarily distracted me from the clip, so I didn’t catch the correction.

[@savethetpc6406]

Dixie Alexander and ***** and Steff2929again I agree with all of you about Eamonn Andrews. I think he did a better job and was certainly more comfortable in the role of moderator on this program than either Bennett Cerf or Clifton Fadiman, but he definitely had a very different style than John Daly. A few examples: With the 2nd contestant, who made wax figures, he agreed with the contestant's "no" to the product being used by either men or women, on the basis that "used" was not quite the right term. I think John would have said something like. "Well, I would say that both men and women could benefit from this product," thus modifying the terminology to allow a "yes" answer. Similarly, when Dorothy asked if the product was "sold for the benefit of children," Daly might have said that although it was not specifically sold for their benefit, children, as well as adults, might gain benefit from this product. And surely, John Daly would have taken Arlene's question at 22:22 (as pointed out by kenp3L) as a point of information and not given her the "no" for it. But I also agree that his way of doing things kept the show going at a much faster clip and was a refreshing change of pace (pun intended ;) ). And I also liked that he let the un-guessed contestants announce their own lines, as darijoe mentioned. Still, I'll be glad to see John Daly back in his usual role on the next episode. :)

[@thisisthatsong8352]

SaveThe TPC Yes. Apparently, the way Eamonn handled Arlene's "point of clarification" question is the same way that he handled similar questions on his own show. I've only ever seen one segment of the BBC version, and he did the exact same thing to a panelist. I also learned by watching that BBC segment that the studio audience would applaud a panelist's question if it got them closer to guessing the guest's line. Much more than the US audience did, anyway.

[@ToddSF]

This is That Song -- Also, every time a panelist got a "yes" answer on the BBC version, the audience would applaud, which I found to be a bit tiresome as it was unnecessary and tended to slow down the flow and pace of the show. (That's based on the one episode I've seen, as far as I know, the only extant full episode.)

Loved Eamonn!

I don’t appreciate that stupid parallel universe game text going on during this episode.

How did they get the fight referee so quickly? They must have known. No other way.

[@scruffy0928]

Fights were big news in that time. And that fight was the big time, kind of a Super Bowl. The panel would have been expecting someone from the fight.

Red was truly annoying here.

If the term had existed then, Eamonn Andrews could be termed a ball-breaker lol

[@horatiohornblower5626]

Eamon doesn't treat the guests as respectfully as John Daly. He doesn't hold the chair for the ladies and almost doesn't stand when shaking the men's hands.

So? Not a fault!

@@sandybruce9092 well, no offense intended, but this was one of the early signs and symptoms of the start of the downward trend of civilized societies towards the belligerent and aggressive attitudes that prevail now.

I recently saw a friar's club roast with Red Buttons as M.C. Gratuitous filth! I will NEVER see Mr Buttons the same way. He ruined himself, in my opinion. It's offered here on KZbin. Judge for yourself.

So easy for martin gabel to guess red buttons they all knew who the mystery.guest was gonna be spoiled the whole show

So much better that John Daly!!

[@hannibalscipio10]

What's the deal with all the love for Eamonn Andrews' performance? He didn't understand the give and take that made the show great. He allowed contestants to give misleading answers without adding clarifying statements. There was no flow to his performance. He was competent, certainly. But in a month as host, he would have killed the show. There was almost no laughter from the audience for extended periods in the show. It was a sterile environment, except for Red's bit. Instead of playing with the panel, he just railroaded them into confusion. The panel put up with his apparent desire to make them get wrong answers, but they would not have done so for long. Perhaps, if he had started with the show at the beginning, things would have gelled.

[@michaelmayoh656]

RUBBISH you take it too seriously!

[@hannibalscipio10]

Haha, probably! : ) Still ... I'm right ...

[@michaelmayoh656]

Well I dont think so but you are entitled to your opinion as am I

[@SteveStalzle]

NOT TO BE MEAN, but am I the only one who thinks Eamonn Andrews has a weird face?

[@ToddSF]

Steve Stalzle -- I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I think his face is just fine. Maybe his face is slightly asymmetrical, but that doesn't bother me at all -- it's not as if he has two completely mismatched ears as a certain talk show host does.

[@Arthur_McGowan]

+ToddSF 94109 And as Frank Sinatra did.

[@libertyann439]

I think he's cute.

[@chrisjohnson4165]

How superficial are you? He was a great amateur boxer, so his face was 'modified' by the noble art.

[@michaelmayoh656]

He has a normal face!
