What's My Line? - Tony Randall; Mort Sahl [panel] (Aug 23, 1959)

MYSTERY GUEST: Tony Randall
PANEL: Dorothy Kilgallen, Mort Sahl, Arlene Francis, Bennett Cerf

[@elizabethgalligan1805]

Whether on the panel or as a Mystery guest, Tony Randall is always a treat to watch!!☺

[@luigivincenz3843]

The semi Brit accent almost worked but once you sit on the panel, they'll sniff you out. When Sean Connery was on, he hilariously used a small boy's voice. It really should BE a mystery guest.

[@erichanson426]

"Goat from a cheese." A very rare Dorothy Kilgallen blooper.

[@robrmartin9369]

Right????? HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!

[@johnphillips5081]

I had the pleasure of meeting, and talking with Mort Sahl and his wife 18 years later outside of CBS Studios in Los Angeles. They participated on the Game Show Tattletails the show I was in the audience for

[@maryhoffman9674]

I love Tony Randall as a panelist, but he's also hilarious as a mystery guest. First discovered him while watching the Odd Couple on MeTV. He's so funny -- and I love the way he always makes use of his extensive vocabulary. I also noticed that Bennett Cerf was the one who guessed Tony both times he was the mystery guest. I guess he just knew him well enough from all the occasions on which they were fellow panelists.

[@davidsanderson5918]

Mary Hoffman To be fair his disguise, despite being a strange accent, had his usual intonations and distinctive throat tone about it. He has such a strong projective voice which is pretty unmistakeable.

[@icturner23]

I’ve only ever seen him on this. His fake voice seemed very different to me, but the panel will also have seen him playing parts in different accents or just known him joking around off camera.

[@sallyhaid7030]

Tony is my all time favorite mystery guest. All three times he was hilarious.

[@bluecamus5162]

To see the extent of the man's remarkable talents, watch "The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao", in which he has 7 speaking parts. You'll be glad you did.

[@mikejschin]

As of October 3, 2019, Mort Sahl is still alive. His stand-up comedy was largely based on social and political commentary, leading Steve Allen to call him "the only real political philosopher we have in modern comedy." Like Dorothy Kilgallen, he was vocal in his questioning of the Warren Report.

Update: As of May 8, 2021, Mort is still alive at age 93.

There were so many bullfighters on these shows; didn't realize how popular it was when I was a wee lad at the time these aired.

[@janlachowycz]

Another time Tony Randall was the MG and he very successfully disguised his voice. There was some very funny talk between Tony and Buddy Hackett who was a panelist. Bennett did eventually successfully guess the MG.

[@karenleemallonee684]

I'm a huge Tony Randall fan! 🌼

[@kulturekritik9665]

Yet another bullfighter. This really is the most common line they have. How can they have had so much trouble with this one, when they've had no less than 3 prior women bullfighters? Maybe they thought, "We CAN'T have another lady bullfighter after so many others!"

[@davidsoulier6375]

Dear God, I love Tony Randall. Love. Everything from his intellect, to his timing, to his wit, to his hair. After Martin Gabel, and probably after Robert Q Lewis, Randall eventually became the third most-scheduled WML guest panelist. Mort Sahl. Great stand up comic. Then comic on political themes. Then political analyst and commentator.

[@sleb99]

Joan Brigid race car driver? Auto mechanic? I agree, strange question and based on what clue?

[@neilmidkiff]

The only grease-covered occupation I can think of would be Channel swimmer, but it was already established that it was not done in the water.

[@davidsanderson5918]

Didn't females who used snakes in their stage act get greased up for it once upon a time?

[@icturner23]

It was clear by that stage that she did a rather physical job that was unusual for a woman, and in which she could get injuries. I took him to mean that she was something like a mechanic.

[@gregengel1616]

The weirdest question I ever heard on this show was when Dorothy asked someone, do you sleep on velvet sheets?

[@galileocan]

I'm wondering if many of the mystery guests really wanted to be guessed. If I were a famous celebrity, and especially one like Tony Randall who was very familiar to the panelists, I certainly wouldn't be giving full sentences as my answers. I think the most successful mystery guests were ones that gave as little away in their voice as possible.

[@RikardPeterson]

Yes, but on the other hand, longer answers can often be more fun. (Obvious example being Debbie Reynolds, but I think Tony here also was aiming more for fun than winning.)

[@MrJoeybabe25]

@@RikardPeterson I agree. Tony unless he is totally tone deaf (and opera lovers such as he are not) had to know he was virtually giving it away, for fun. Maybe not, though.

The mystery guests working in show business would have understood that the point of the game was entertainment, not whether or not they beat the panel.

@John Dee When in the hell is KZbin/Google going to fix their completely broken commenting system? Yet again, I can't reply in any way, shape or form to a comment left by you here, and since this isn't a direct reply, you won't be notified of the response. What a total mess they made of this! Anyhow, I was just going to say, I can certainly understand people reacting that way to Tony Randall-- I've heard it plenty of times from other folks-- but I love him (especially on The Odd Couple) and think he's great on the panel. Jack Klugman wrote a book about his friendship with Tony Randall which was really quite touching. Tony Randall is the guy who he credits for being able to recover his voice enough after throat cancer to return to acting. Jewish mother nagging, but in a positive way. :)

[@loissimmons6558]

I had a feeling that Tony Randall would have difficulty disguising his voice. I remember him saying during an interview that it was difficult to do vocal impressions of him because he had perfect pitch. Perhaps that made it difficult for him to do an alternate voice.

[@icturner23]

That claim of his makes no sense.

[@shuroom57]

He should have used a falsetto voice, as should all mystery guests. Tony Randall also could never bring himself to maul the English language as do so many of us Americans, dropping "g"s and saying "yeah" a lot.

[@beadyeyedbrat]

Goat from a cheese. Dorothy was laughing along wit everyone else. Americans seem to have lost the ability to laugh at ourselves.

[@davidsoulier6375]

What have we come to? For ages, postal was 3 cents, and the 4 cent samples brought by the second contestant was the first postage increase in a long time. LOL Arlene wearing her stamp on her shoulder like a beauty mark. I'd accept a package like Arlene any day, stamped or COD.

[@Eddie_Schantz]

The mystery guest segment in this show is another prime example of a guest saying way more than they needed to and just gave themselves away. Just a "yes" or "no" is all that is needed.

[@icturner23]

[@neilmidkiff]

The 49-star flag depicted on the stamps was only official for one year, from July 4, 1959, to July 3, 1960. Though both Alaska and Hawaii were formally admitted as states during 1959, Hawaii's statehood was effective as of August 21 (just two days before this show aired!). Since 1818 the rule has been that new flag designs become official on the next Independence Day, which is why the 50-star flag had to wait till 1960. Since Hawaii's admission was a "done deal" (Congress had approved it in March 1959), I imagine that many members of the public did as our family did, deciding not to invest in a 49-star flag, and waiting to buy the 50-star version. Of course government buildings and other "official" flagpoles had to fly the 49-star version for one year's use.

[@icturner23]

Everyone knows all that, but the forty-nine star flag would have been a nice souvenir and now a bit valuable. That said, it’s bizarre of any family to specifically have a flag.

[@ToddSF]

@John Dee -- too bad there's no reply button with your post, but there isn't, so I'm responding here. I happen to think Tony Randall was funny and entertaining and urbane, whether he was on WML or the Hollywood Squares. Nothing "prissy" about his hairstyle that I can see -- it's just a short haircut, typical of 1959, nicely parted and nicely combed. What's prissy about it? Also, Mr. Randall was intelligent and witty. You're welcome not to like Tony Randall, of course, but don't expect everyone here to agree with you. I suspect that most people will not.

[@bethhale2595]

He played a "prissy" role with Jack Klugman in "The Odd Couple," but that was just a role.

[@neilmidkiff]

Bennett forgot another MGM movie featuring a female bullfighter, Esther Williams in "Fiesta" (1947), a fairly daffy film in which she plays the twin sister of Ricardo Montalban, a matador who composes concertos on the side. He skips a ring appearance for a music opportunity, and she has to dress in his clothes and pin her hair under her hat and.... you get the idea. I love both actors, but they don't in the least appear plausible as twins.

Such class

[@daler.steffy1047]

As noted in this episode from 1959, the postage stamp costs 4 cents! (Although I do remember mailing a "Thank You" letter to my grandmother using a 3-cent stamp!) But now, in October of 2024, it costs 73 cents to purchase a first class stamp! Seriously?! But my income is still what it was in 1958 (at least it feels like it is), thanks to inflation, which has certainly eroded the purchasing power quite significantly for all of us during these last several years. My teacher's retirement check has a "built-in" clause that compensates me, as a retiree, if my retirement income falls below this 85% percentile blah...blah...blah...formula, which I don't understand; however, I am getting an additional amount of money quarterly over one fiscal year (only) to "compensate" me for this current loss in purchasing power. I will receive an additional $3.27 quarterly! I can't wait to go to Starbucks and buy half a cookie--if they will sell it to me that way!

A slightly less than tactful remark from John at 11:30 when he says that bullfighting is great to *read* about, implying that he wouldn't be in the audience, just as he is saying goodbye to the contestant. He could at least have waited till she was offstage. Not that I don't agree with his point of view, and even go beyond it -- I don't even want to read about bullfighting.

[@davidsanderson5918]

Neil Midkiff But Daly doesn't talk about a contestant's line 'after' thry leave the stage. Also it would've drawn attention to his stance on it even more if he delivered it facing the camera before announcing the next guest.

[@robbob1234]

When he made that remark, I first assumed he was placing himself in the ring rather than the audience. Like he didn't fancy the thought of taking on such a dangerous task. But the face he made certainly suggested displeasure with the "game" as a whole. Guess he likes Hemingway though.

[@robbob1234]

I just noticed that right after the remark, he tugs on his ear! Ha ha, was he warning himself to get off the topic? Haven't seen one of those since the Hal Block era. :)

[@hcombs0104]

[@savethetpc6406]

hcombs0104 and What's My Line? and David Soulier and +John Dee So because of the inability to respond directly to John Dee's comment, we all end up posting our good feelings about Tony Randall in separate posts! Perhaps not such a bad thing for Tony fans. ;) I decided to respond to this one, mostly because it was the last one I came to as I read down the list of comments. I am also a big fan of Tony Randall's, especially in "The Odd Couple" TV series, and I've enjoyed seeing him in these WML episodes. I think he was a genuine intellectual (not "pseudo" at all) and also a warm, funny, charming personality. I was fortunate enough to attend several of Randall's National Actors Theater productions in the early 1990s, including the fundraising presentation of Neil Simon's original "The Odd Couple" play, which reunited Tony Randall and Jack Klugman as Felix and Oscar. I think it was the first time Jack Klugman had attempted to use his surgery-modified voice in performance (and this was probably part of the help Tony Randall gave to Jack after the surgery -- by insisting that he be in this production), and though it was different, and a bit harder to hear, he and Tony both did a wonderful job, and it was a fantastic experience seeing them together, performing those classic characters live on stage! I also love Bennett Cerf, though he is to me a complex character. I admit that I find certain things he does or says to be annoying, but I also find him to be a rare combination of intelligence and ignorance; the dignified intellectual and the silly little kid; the professional man-of-the-world and the wide-eyed innocent, unabashedly admiring young boy. His habit of blurting out exactly what he is thinking sometimes gets him into trouble (and I don't always like what he says), but it is quite the opposite of pretentious (though I don't deny that he does sound pretentious at times). Overall, I find his blend of intelligent dignity and childlike innocence/silliness to be quite endearing.

[@WhatsMyLine]

SaveThe TPC Well-put observations on Bennett. And I'm incredibly jealous that you got to see Randall and Klugman reprise their "Odd Couple" roles. "The Odd Couple" has always been a favorite show of mine!

[@savethetpc6406]

What's My Line? Thanks. "The Odd Couple" is one of my favorite TV shows too. I paid a fortune for tickets way at the back of the theater to see Randall & Klugman in the play, but it was worth it for that once-in-a-lifetime experience! Here's a link to an archival article with more information about that performance, in case you're interested. It was an all-star cast, but the combination of Tony Randall & Jack Klugman as Felix and Oscar was worth the price of admission to me, even if the rest of the cast had been unknowns! www.nytimes.com/1991/06/20/theater/odd-couple-is-returning-to-do-a-good-deed.html Btw, I have been having a lot of technical difficulties while trying to reply to comments today, and this is the first time today that I have been able to post a comment on KZbin. Actually, it remains to be seen whether it will work or not and whether or not I will afterwards be able to post or reply to any other comments.

[@WhatsMyLine]

SaveThe TPC Thank you again, broken comments system. Well, I saw your comment anyway. That's no guarantee anyone else on the internet will. If you haven't checked out Klugman's book about his friendship with Tony Randall, "Tony and Me", I can't recommend it highly enough. You're obviously a big enough fan to appreciate it, so I'd be sort of surprised if you haven't read it yet. Truly a touching book, and it comes with a DVD containing outtakes from the filming of "The Odd Couple" which, you know, might have been nice as bonus features on the barebones DVDs for seasons 2-5. Let's not even talk about how they butchered seasons 3-5 due to not wanting to clear any music rights. www.amazon.com/Tony-Me-Friendship-out-takes-1971-75/dp/0976830302/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404864613&sr=8-1&keywords=tony+and+me

Pygiana Interesting-- I wondered the same thing. Because sometimes-- being a live show-- there were words said on WML that were absolutely forbidden on TV at the time, so I thought it might have been a slip on John's part (though a very uncharacteristic one!) I remember Bennett said "damn" once, and Groucho sang a song that had the word "hell" in it (this is just from memory-- I'm sure there were more).
