Mr. Witchman, I agree. I just purchased from the App Store the NPR weekly radio show “Says You!” The game is comprised of a single host and panel of 4 players and a live audience, like “What’s My Line”, with the difference being the players are presented questions involving the meaning of words. And similar to “What’s My Line” on “Says You!” there’s civility, intelligence maturity and humor that’s nearly lost today. I highly recommend getting it.

Very tragic. The mystery guest was so intertwined with JFK in looks, in mannerisms and his career that I could hardly watch this mystery guest segment. I ask myself what the world be like if JFK had lived to serve two full terms. On that day in December of 1962 we had no reason to think he would'nt have. Nor could we have guessed that the end of Dorothy's life would have been entwined with Mr. Kennedy's death as well. I do appreciate the network's role in bringing this segment to us, though we mourn the loss deeply.

Interesting twist at 13:29: Cerf asks Packer linebacker Ray Nitschke if Packer halfback Paul Hornung was badly hurt in the 4th quarter of the NFL Championship game that afternoon. Nitschke responded that he bruised his ribs - "but he will be all right for next year." Cerf: "I bet he will." Well ... no. Turned out Hornung was suspended for the '63 season for betting on NFL games.

Regarding President Kennedy's comment that he thought Vaughn Meader sounded more like his brother Teddy than like himself: None of us hear our own voices the way others do, because some of what we hear of our own voices is conducted through the bone of the skull. Remember your surprise the first time you heard a recording of your voice? So no matter how accurate an impressionist may be, the subject of his impression is not likely to be impressed by it.

Neil Midkiff - From a logical viewpoint, yes, that could be considered a probable assumption, as most have never heard their own voice. Did you consider that John F. Kennedy, was not like 'most men'? By that, he was a very careful, articulate man, and as hard as it is for me to say about my childhood, real life, hand-picked hero, he was vain enough to listen to his voice, looking for flaws to correct. Considering what he had to deal with, it went above vanity, actually, and became more of a need for a flawless visual, and audio presentation, that had a great impact on a large audience. Scholars have argued whether or not he really could read 200 words ahead of what he was speaking...as was said of him. Your reasoning is sound for a lesser man, but not John F. Kennedy. He had his flaws, but he knew what worked, and you can rest assured that he heard his own voice often enough to know the difference.

+Kelly02895 In the spring of 1963, Cadence Records released "The First Family, Vol. 2" with more topical comedy material related to the Kennedy administration. It isn't nearly as funny as the original album - BUT quite ironic is the last band on Side 2, which last about 10 minutes and consists of the responses of some New York City elementary school students when asked by Vaughn Meader (as Vaughn Meader), "What do you think of President Kennedy?" Then President Kennedy died - and that album was pulled from record store shelves very quickly. Some time in the 1990s, I was browsing in a new used-record store on the north side of Chicago (on Montrose Avenue, a little bit west of the Chicago & Northwestern commuter railroad tracks), and I found a copy of "The First Family, Vol. 2" in stereo, in good condition, for only $4.00. Of course I bought it - and I have listened to it. (No, it's not for sale - and no, I don't have the technical "know-how" or equipment to upload it to KZbin.)

Dorothy Kilgallen was a very intelligent Woman and it was nice to see Mr. Meador credit Mrs. Kilgallen with helping him in his early career. It is very tragically ironic that after doing his impersonation of President Kennedy he made the comment that he hoped 1963 would be as good as 1962. Sadly our President was assassinated and Mr. Meador lost his livelihood as a result. Thanks for posting these gems for us to enjoy !

What a great episode! I had not seen this one before. 2-3 observations: (1) The fact that Nitsche (sp?) wasn't immediately recognized just goes to show how far both media and the NFL have come. He was a star player; no way an NFL star wouldn't be recognized today, at least by name. (2) Nitsche was a linebacker, but I could've sworn he answered "yes" when he was asked if he played on the line. (3) Nitsche was asked about the injured Paul Hornung and replied, "He'll be okay for next season." Kind of ironic, because Hornung would go on to be punished for having been caught betting on games, and the punishment was a 1-yr. suspension. Hornung had to sit out the entire 1963 season. (4) I had forgotten who Vaughan Meador was. Too bad for both his and JFK's sake that he didn't have that gig for 8 years instead of just 3.

+jmccracken1963 It was close between the Packers and the Bears for the Western Conference championship. The Bears finished 11-1-2 while the Packers were 11-2-1. Both of Green Bay's losses came against Chicago. The Packers had to settle for runner up even though they had a better record than the Giants did in winning the Eastern Conference (11-3). The Lions also lost Alex Karras to a one year suspension as part of the same league disciplinary action against gamblers. And five other Lions players were fined $2000 apiece for betting on one game in which they did not play. They finished tied for fourth in the West with a dismal 5-8-1 record. The year before, they were runner up to the Packers with an 11-3 record. Compared to baseball, which has suspended players for life when they have been caught betting on games and consorting with known gamblers, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle handed out relatively mild penalties.

the great ray nitschke, they should have blind folded the panel with this one. ray was one of the greatest of all time. a great quote by jfk about meader's impression of him, asked if he was "annoyed or enjoyed" by the impression, jfk said, "I listened to Mr. Meader's record and, frankly, I thought it sounded more like Teddy than it did me. So, now he's annoyed."

Gable was a Giants fan. Back then tv wasn't full of ESPN type coverage. Given Ray was on the offensive line, and Gable attended in person, it's quite likely he didn't buy a program or bring a radio to hear game coverage. They didn't have jumbotrons and things like that, or announce the players.

It's no secret that both Arlene and Bennett didn't care much for Dottie (with justification) but Cerf was often very contemptuous of her, often to the point of going out of his way not to acknowledge her (especially after her intros of him). I always got the feeling that Martin never had a problem with her and treated her well. Hence at the end of the show he gets a smooch and strangely enough so does Cerf and he looked like he enjoyed it. Interesting that Gloria Kennedy wore a Maple Leaf pin before it was iconically symbolized on the flag in 1965. Of course it had been a symbol of Canada for a long time and was the right thing to put on the flag. Again ironic that Vaughn Meader (as Kennedy) offers the hope that the next year (1963) will be as nice as the last. By the end of 63 both Kennedy and Vaughn Meader's career will be dead. From Wikipedia According to several sources, standup comedian Lenny Bruce went on with his November 22 nightclub show as scheduled. Just hours after Kennedy's death, Bruce walked onstage, stood silently for several moments, then said sadly, "Boy, is Vaughn Meader fucked." (may not be correct quote) The joke proved true. Meader discovered that he was so completely typecast as a Kennedy impersonator that he could not find anyone willing to hire him for any of his other talents.

It is true that Bennett disliked Dorothy but in some thing Arlene states that her and Dorothy (despite what she may have said in her column about thing in the dressing room of what's My Line) were quite good friends. Though with Bennett he hated her and after she had passed took no time to mourn before talking bad about her. But in all I love Bennett the same though he said some very bad things about Dorothy on an interview. And with John they had a bad argument to which John still hadn't forgiven her until her death but they were still good friends.

I wonder how much the newspaper strike played into the panel's ability or inability to figure out the Mystery Guests in December of 1962 - or some ordinary contestants' "lines," for that matter. (I'm thinking, for instance, of Barrie Sloan in the 23 December episode; and the panel would probably have been blindfolded for Ray Nitschke had the newspapers not been on strike.) It certainly sounded as though Ray Nitschke was still thawing out from the NFL championship game played earlier that day at Yankee Stadium. (Final score, by the way: Green Bay 16, New York 7.) If memory serves me correctly, I think that Ray Nitschke was one of the Green Bay Packers who appeared on WML? as a group in January of 1967, either a week before or a week after Green Bay's lopsided victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in the first-ever Super Bowl. I'm sure that the producers planned having a Kennedy on as one of the "ordinary" contestants, along with a "Kennedy" as the Mystery Guest, this evening.

Once again, Bennett is both argumentative and wrong. When the line is revealed, he says that it involves food and drink, as if he were correct and was given the wrong answer when in fact he was given a yes answer to that question. And for all his criticism of Dorothy's camera hogging, he is always the panelist most likely to want to ask a guest a question once the line or the MG is revealed.

@Tom Dockery - Dorothy's column was written for a newspaper syndicate that got her into papers nationwide. So, it was not quite the same as a crime syndicate, but certainly he referred to the syndicate because the NY newspapers, that bought the column from King Features, were on strike and not publishing. This particular strike ran from 12/8/62-3/31/63. Lucky Dorothy got to keep working for all the newspapers around the nation to whom they also sold her column.
