MYSTERY GUEST: Maureen O' Sullivan
PANEL: Arlene Francis, Steve Allen, Kitty Carlisle, Bennett Cerf
And now we enter the last phase of the WML on CBS, the shows following the loss of Dorothy Kilgallen.
No mincing of words: this is a difficult episode to watch. Despite the decision to go on with the show as usual (just as they did after Fred Allen's sudden death in 1956), there's a palpable pall cast over the entire program. The opening and closing are the only parts of the show where Dorothy's passing is addressed directly, but these brief moments are particularly wrenching.
The original commercials are again included, with footage from two sources in order to preserve as much as possible of the higher quality, edited copy.
Special thank you to Steve M. Russo for providing the bulk of this episode. Folks interested in high quality, well packaged, well-edited DVDs of WML and other panel game shows can contact him directly for more information at RetroTVFestival@comcast.net.
The usual many thanks to epaddon for providing his copy of this show with the commercials.

Alli Payne Oh, wow-- I know I'm not alone when I say, as a WML fan, I'd be delighted to hear any and everything your mom remembers about being on the program. I'm very annoyed that I almost COMPLETELY missed your comment, got no notification for it from KZbin at all. It's very rare to hear from people who are related to contestants, and always extremely welcome, but even more so if your mom was on such a historically important episode. Thanks for commenting, and if you can share any more, please do!

What's My Line? Norma did not know who submitted her name to the show, and assumed that particular episode would be cancelled in light of Kilgallen's death. But, as she didn't hear anything, she went ahead and flew to NYC. They put her up at the Americana Hotel. When she arrived at the studio, she was ushered to a small room where she waited alone. The stage manager told her there would be no meet and greet after the show as was usually the case. So, she went back to her hotel and on home the next day. In the mail she got her big winnings and a note from the producer saying that she had received a very positive response and that she should run for president! I know she was annoyed with Kitty Carlisle's comment about how everyone voted her because she was pretty, but appreciated Serf's flirtatious question about whether she was the cause of the recent black-out and thought he was clever to pull out her party affliliation. One can see how that went over! And she chose not to correct Daly's gaff, calling her "Norman", figuring folk could see she was not male. Then, as instructed, she shook the panels hands and left. Decades later a graduate student who was doing a paper on Kilgallen managed to track her down in Arizona to see if she could shed some light. But, she told him everything was very somber and hush hush, and no one was saying ANYTHING.

Alli Payne It's truly wonderful of you to have shared all this information. I can't thank you enough-- it's fascinating. And it's just very nice of you to take the time out to respond in such detail. We WML fans eat this stuff up, really. As I commented in the WML Facebook group (where, I can tell you, no surprise that the folks there are very interested in your comments), I've always felt bad for the contestants on this particular episode for having the misfortune to be booked on the single most depressing, laugh-free, difficult-to-watch episode of WML. I'm convinced that even if you snipped the opening and closing off and showed the rest of the episode to someone who had no idea what its significance was, even though there's no mention of Dorothy at any other point, it would still be apparent that something was very, very off that night. But though I'm sure it wasn't the fun experience it would have been virtually any other week, your mom does have the distinction of having appeared on one of the most historically significant episodes of the series. And certainly the strangest! If you'll indulge me one minor question, I'm very curious about the prize money, if your mom remembers. My understanding is that all the contestants got the full $50 regardless of whether they won the game, plus an all expense paid trip to NY if travel was required. I've also seen mention of some spending money given to the regular contestants for the trip, but all of this info is very murky. I couldn't resist at least taking the shot that your mom would remember a small detail like this 50 years later. And really, thanks so much again for your comments.

What's My Line? I'm so glad the WML fans are enjoying this! Yes, she did get that whole 50 bucks. The show paid for the flight and the hotel, but that was it. She was not allowed to leave right after her appearance, but was ushered back to the same small room until the show was over. As she was walking back to her hotel, an audience member called after her, "Mayor Walker! Mayor Walker!" and asked her tell a former mayor of Aurora hello for him. She clearly remembers the flight back because she had to prep for the first council meeting of her term. I do love revisiting this show now and again - but looking at all the guests are the right side of my screen, I might fall down this rabbit hole for quite a while.

And I noticed the incorrect reference to her name as "Norman" and wondered why it was never mentioned. Your comments are great!

WML producer Gil Fates wrote in his book on the show that it was never the same after Dorothy's passing. Bennett and Arlene liked the show, but they didn't play with the intensity DK did. Dorothy wanted to win. Fates said they tried to keep the "journalism / reporter" chic of the show with several other writers (Suzy - a newspaper society columnist, author Helen Gurley-Brown and AP news service reported Mary Ann Means. All three tried - Suzy and Helen were better - but none came close to Dorothy. Another thing which helped speed the end of WML was Daly's refusal to introduce panel participation or other demonstration segments as To Tell The Truth had done. Daly told Fates, "Save that cr@p for I've Got A Secret."

@@snowden67 I sometimes think that Dorothy's death was what ultimately led to the decision that the networks made to get rid of all of the panel shows in 1967. Her death exposed the biggest-and indeed only-weakness that panel shows in the US and Canada(The CBC's Front Page Challenge would have similar issues in its later years) had: They were all, after so many years, so dependent on the personalities sitting on the panel that if something as calamitous as this happened, they wouldn't be able to keep the engine running for long, as Gil Fates practically admitted that they couldn't. British panel shows, by contrast, often went off the air for a period of years before returning, sometimes with the old faces but sometimes with new ones, which allowed them to run for longer periods(As an example, WML? in the UK ended in '61, came back briefly in the 70s, and roared back in full force in the early 1980s, lasting over a decade. Eamonn Andrews even hosted the 80s edition all the way until his death in '87).

+Joann Smith They were all devastated by the loss, and they were out of it as a result. You could tell that all of the performers were completely preoccupied... to the point that none of them really seemed to want to be there. When Maureen O'Sullivan was on specifically, each of the panelists were missing the important questions. The dynamic that Dorothy brought to the panel was lost and, as a result, they were flustered during the mystery guest round. Though, Kitty Carlisle did her level best. If Dorothy had been there, I'm certain they would have guessed the mystery guest in one or two rounds.

Yes she was highly intelligent. I can remember vaguely some of the later shows, but this program did start before I was born. I became intrigued with Dorothy when I recently heard several programs about her on the Coast to Coast radio show. She was quite the investigative reporter. I was tickled to recently find her on these videos and connect a name and a face. She was highly intelligent and so beautiful. I am a child of the 50s and miss the days of women dressing up and having impeccable manners. Being smart and inquisitive got Dorothy killed. She was onto the Marilyn Monroe "suicide" when she was murdered by the federal government. Dorothy held her own in a man's profession at a time that women didn't do that. She was awesome.

Toward the end of her life, her speech was often slurred, and she did not look well. It's no surprise she met an early demise. I'm sure none of the long-time WML panelists were surprised.

I also liked what Steve Allen said about how their inability to guess the first three contestants (including the mystery guest) showed just how much Dorothy's absence was felt in the game. Of course, at other times when Dorothy was not on the show for one reason or another, the other panelists usually played well, but I think their inability to guess the lines reflected not only the loss of Dorothy's skill in the game but also the loss each of the panelists was feeling that made it hard for them to focus and play well. During the Maureen O'Sullivan segment, I could practically hear each of them thinking, "oh, if Dorothy were here, she'd be able to guess this one!"

The fact that they never found a full-time replacement for Dorothy (much like they never did for Fred Allen) showed how good a player she was. Phyllis Newman was the closest they came to a regular fill-in at that spot (Also adding Sue Oakland later).

My favorite episodes were the one with the owner on the nudist colony and the one with Rosalind Russell as the mystery guest. Both episodes had Dorothy Kilgallen in them. Dorothy was very smart, very intelligent, and very humorous in this show. A great lady with lots of class and dignity. A true gem that is lost in today's time. Very attractive and very gentle looking.

@@rafaelramirez1507 Kilgallen was not murdered. She died of a fatal barbiturate/alcohol interaction, either suicidal or accidental. There was no evidence of a break-in, violence, or foul play. The incident was twice investigated (by the NYPD and the HSCA) and the case closed. In nearly 57 years, no one has been able to adduce solid evidence that would give credence to any different conclusion.

I was six weeks-old when this was originally aired, but I've always loved the America of Yesteryear - old shows, movies, music, old stars, old cars, everything - those even before my time. Those from the Golden and Classic age of American entertainment. My old man once told me I was born too late, and I think he was right. At any rate, I love WML, I've watched many of them, and you can smell the shock and sadness in the air even watching this one 50 years later on video. These people, typical of the era, were true pros, to go on live television and have to deal with this, just a week later. Dorothy was great, and it must have been hard and sad as hell for everyone around her here for her to go like this, so sudden.

As a former small-city newspaper editor, I think Dorothy would be ok with Bennett's comments on this episode and what he said in a later interview. Dorothy took her journalism seriously. And to not report the truth to the public because it's a friend or because it might harm yourself would be a betrayal of the public's trust. The problem is the game show was about the same topic she mostly reported on: celebrities. If she reported on Canadian industry, she could hear celebrity rumors in the shows back rooms and have no obligation to report on it. Bennett said she never let anything get in the way of a story. And we know from her legacy of crime cases that this was true. He later said that if they talked back stage, she might end up reporting on the topic they talked about, no doubt, after she confirmed it. To me, one might seem negative and one positive, but they say the same thing. And do we know who or what loyalty Bennett was talking about? She may not have been the girlfriend you called to have tea with. But I'm sure everyone respected her consistently putting her duty to her readers first, even if they didn't like it sometimes. and, I notice her ability to catch nuances in the contestant's and John's body language and responses. This is an important talent/skill as a reporter. When asking a source a question, you need to not only ask the right questions and quote accurately, but the best ones pick up when a source is not saying something that is important.
