Was at a New York City party in 1972 where Julie Newmar showed up. She was even more incredible looking in person than on the screen. Maybe more astounding in real life because her package of physical attributes were the kind rarely come across in everyday life.

I think Berman was involved in some of the most funny WML episodes ever. However, it is true that Berman's big decade was the 60s: for some reason he did not wear well. Berman WML clips posted elsewhere in KZbin have always generated comments from some viewers who felt he was just too much.

[@loissimmons6558]

+Corleone Since that was written ~4 years ago, I am going to surmise that you wrote it before seeing Wally Cox or Victor Borge as guest panelists. (There were a few other duds, but Cox and Borge stand out as the worst of the worst.) I was not enthralled with Shelley Berman, but he's (to damn him with faint praise) head and shoulders better than Cox or Borge.

[@TheCometHunter]

I hear you. I loved his recorded comedy but he just wasn't meant to be a quiz show panelist. For me the stifling panelist was Fred Allen: he was almost as popular a radio comedian as Jack benny.

Miss Goldner's married name was Ormandy, but she and her husband, violinist and conductor Eugene Ormandy, got divorced in 1947. She was a harpist, and was briefly the first woman to be part of the New York Philharmonic, in the 30s. In the 50s, she was part of a bunch of Broadway shows. She died of pancreatic cancer in 1962. (Ugh.) Meanwhile, Kayaloff, married someone whose name I can't find, but it doesn't seem to have lasted, and she and her family (most of them also professional musicians) were immigrants from Russia. (Came over in 1923, when Anna was 16.) She was briefly with the Baltimore Symphony and a bunch of others, and studied with Pablo Casals at one point, and, also, played with a bunch of Broadway shows. Died in 1993 (at age 86) in Cary, North Carolina (for some reason). Was a concert pianist, but cello was what she mostly played on Broadway & in symphonies. I think Bill Long went to Vanderbilt on a football scholarship, but I'm not sure.

Ty for the background info, I was interested and curious.

[@loissimmons6558]

For a first time panelist, Rita Gam was excellent. Not only was she attractive and articulate, she got a leg up with the first challenger, the second challengers couldn't hold a candle to her and she took a blind stab correctly with the mystery guest. Sadly they ran out of time in the final segment, otherwise she might have been 4 for 4. Although neither of her marriages lasted for at least ten years and both ended in divorce, whatever the reason, she attracted two husbands who had more cerebral careers than the typical actor could claim. One more husband and it might have been her that Tom Lehrer sang about rather than Alma Mahler Gropius Werfel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/boKopJecjZJ_m80

Seeing young people being prosperous in raising their own funds for college was so refreshing. Something you don’t see anymore, sadly.

[@alittleinappropriate]

Probably because taking into account inflation, college tuition has risen ~150-300% since then, at a rate exponentially higher than wage increases. So college is quite literally unaffordable, even if the student is working- which about half of full-time students do, while also being in school full time. As an example: Harvard tuition in 1961 was $1520, about $14,000 today. Harvard tuition in 2021 is $54,000. Federal minimum wage in 1961 was $1.15, about $10.75 today. Federal minimum wage today is $7.25. In 1961, you could work part time and easily pay your own tuition. Today, you would have to work full time for 4 years to pay for one year of tuition.

Interesting to see Shelley Berman here... a famous comedian at the time who is not very well known anymore. He had a part of his act where he spoke one end of a phone conversation, a gimmick that Bob Newhart became famous for shortly after (Berman accused Newhart of stealing it).

[@soulierinvestments]

It's interesting that Newhart got bigger with the passing of time and Berman rather faded out.

[@jvcomedy]

Shelly Berman has always seemed to me to be a bitter man. He had some popularity in the 50's, but his career took a downturn after he either made some egotistical comments backstage at a show (Ed Sullivan maybe?) or berated someone backstage that turned off other performers and when word got out to the public it turned them off too. I've been trying to find the story on the internet, but to no avail. Although I did find a NY Times article that said he had an unpredictable temperament and once walked off stage during a show and ripped a ringing telephone out of the wall. Anyway, it seems maybe he wasn't an easy person to get along with. He now blames his career downfall to Bob Newhart stealing his schtick so as with many people he refuses to take responsibility for his own actions and would prefer to blame it on others. That's just my take.

Oh God no. Newmar is out of this world beautiful and a juggernaut of feminine sexuality . She’s the apotheosis of ALL feminine, virtues including great intelligence and wit, not to mention the original Catwoman.

[@waynej2608]

With all due respect, and Lee is very fetching, but this is Julie Newmar! C'mon.

[@charlescanterbury9762]

Julie Newmar defines the word HOT. There is a video on KZbin of people doing the Twist, she is in it, and boy is she Sexy, and a great dancer.

[@leswadley6792]

I didn’t realize how tall Mrs newmar is! She is a true Ikon!!

I never understood how an egg could be dairy; I thought dairy products have to originate from cows. And eggs come from hens, last time I checked.

[@loissimmons6558]

The classification comes from the section in the supermarket or grocery store where eggs are often displayed.

[@MA_C24]

Ummm - if medicine says avoid dairy it means avoid lactose-containing products from a cow. At lest that what my doctor, my daughter’s doctor, the doctor of my son’s girlfriend and my dietician say. I agree with Cynthia - an egg is not dairy and the only question that should be answered yes is “is it found in the supermarket near the milk and cheese?”.

[@gilliankew]

Correct but they are so closely associated with milk in cooking and shopping that the lines have become blurred.

RITA GAM did well as a guest panelist, she got 2 occupations right. EGG FARMERS & JULIE NEWMAR. She's 8 years older than me and I'm 80.

[@agalgonzalez]

Those twins were farm kids through and through.

[@kenyongray2615]

Julie Newmar was and is a different breed of cat. Pun intended. At one point she was supposed to have the perfect female body. With her Catwoman heels on, she was over 6 feet tall. She looked great playing that role in the Batman series.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

I AGREE 100%! Without heels she was 6' tall.

It's nice to see young people subsidising their own education. And very well mannered.

I feel like I am a kid again watching this.

[@CarlsonARTS]

You know. When we were kids. The entertainment taught us something. We learned about people and the kinds of professions they were in. We learned how to ask questions to investigate an unknown. Then we applied our new knowledge, we tried it out in real life. We learned how to interact socially; and we even learned about morals and values. What do the kids learn from the video games today? Hum? What good are they? Do they help a person to be any of the above? Can you imagine what kind of citizens they will be? What kind of parents? How about business owners, or government officials?

Useless Fact: Oleg Cassini proposed to Grace Kelly before Prince Rainier. Her father would not give his permission.

I forgot that years ago people would smoke on live TV shows.

Julie Newmar's hair looks slightly odd ... which is odd for her as she is / was generally so sleekly, elegantly turned out ...

[@loissimmons6558]

An asymmetrical style that didn't work.

I love her and she cultivated the epitome of sultry, sleek style, but she is an odd woman. The hair actually fits.

Young Julie Newmar. Still around at 91 😊

My third pair of glasses had frames by Oleg Cassini. My Mom paid $129 for them in 1980. I still have them, even though they're no good to me. It's not like I'm going to get rid of something so expensive/gold-plated.

What was the comment Arlene made and Shelley repeated about a cow doing something? Around the 12:30 mark.

@dpm1982 Arlene had asked if it had anything to do with a cows perspicacity. She got a no and Shelley made the comment, he'd never seen a cows perspicacity.
