Arlene Francis asking the question, "Could we do it here on the stage?" is one of the funniest moments in television history.

I love how the rich, famous, accomplished people on the panel were so genuine and down to earth. They treated everyone with dignity and respect. Beautiful to watch.

Dorothy and Arlene were the heart and soul of the show

Arlene always makes me laugh with her quips and wit. She's such a troublemaker sometimes and I love her for it

Both Dorothy and Arlene are so lovely, classy, and smart. Plus, they both have such great senses of humor.

Arlene Francis had such a great sense of humour. I would like to have that kind of friend.

Arlene Francis was one of the most elegant and beautiful women of her time. She was intelligent, classy, kind, extremely funny and ever so easy on the eye. The perfect woman.

One of the most entertaining shows ever filled with great fun humor and classy folks with the most beautiful Arlene Francis whom I miss!

I laughed my a$$ off. Arlene Francis was so funny!

I was an avid watcher of WML from way back. My family never missed it. But these videos reinforce how witty and downright hilarious Arlene Francis and Dorothy Kilgallen were. The other interesting fact is that the show was simply SO New York City. Smart, urbane, classy people--all of them, including John Charles Daly.

"i had turkey last week" "i know but you're rich"

Dorothy was almost a real live Betty Boop

I bet they all were the best of friends you can just tell they had good chemistry

6:32: Arlene asks the Nudist Camp owner: "Can we do it here on the stage?" - hahaha

These 2 women, Arlene and Dorothy were so different that they complimented each other so well. Talk about class. They are the embodiment of class. By the way Peter Gabel, Arlene and Martin Gabels son just passed away about 3 weeks ago. October of 2022. He was 75 years old.

Love them both. True ladies of dignity! ❤️

Arlene and Dorothy were magic together.

Wished I could have known Ms.Frances and Ms. Killgalen

I never get tired of these segments! They take me back to my youth when I watched them. All the panelists continually show their grace and class. So very obvious now in a world where this is sorely lacking. Arlene Francis lived to be 93.

They could not have picked two more intelligent or classy women to do this show.

These are hilarious. Thanks for a much-needed laugh.

This show was amazing and the panelists were the foundation of it's success! Thanks for sharing this!

I absolutely adore these two! They are so bright, humorous, beautiful and elegant women ❤

Best game show ever. Love these two classy ladies

They were the classiest women on tv

The standard WML panel was, is and will always be the most elegant, articulate, intelligent and accomplished game show panel to have ever been assembled for television. And John Daly was the wittiest, most urbane, suave and gentlemanly game show host there's ever been. I hope Hollywood does us all a favour and NEVER tries to recreate the show as the sort of post modern, politically correct, vermin that they seem to love putting out these days.

Both great ladies especially made for television. Witty and charming from days of class and respect.

Hollywood is too stupid these days to reboot this! No one today is this clever, attractive, and classy!

Thats our girls!!!! Great job!!!

Arlene reminds me so much of my wife . Always a smile and happy!

These two ladies are fabulous. Brilliant.

Just the right panel for this show and no wonder it was a success

I wasn't able to see the vintage "What's my line?" programs when they were first aired (10.30 p.m. on Sunday, which was too late for a school night), but I'm certainly having a wonderful time catching up with them here, both the full broadcasts and the "Best of ..." segments. Thank you, Jocelyn (and all the others) who have posted these!

This show was before my time, but I am having the best time binge-watching. Thanks for sharing these funny episodes!

I love these ladies!! Classy with awesome personalities.

Beautiful. Those were the glorious years.

Truly beautiful people ❤

I'm cracking up already at 0:11. Arlene's dress!

Exquisite! Bravo!

Love this compilation. Thank you so much.

They were wonderful. God Bless Ladies! ^^

Delightful!

This is what is missing in todays shows. Classy and intelligent woman who make tv fun and entertaining

I love them...2 classy women...

Thanks so much for sharing. So perfect a way to start the morning. ❤️

What a great reminder of a classier time in our world!

5:16 the gasp from Dorothy will always bring joy

I sure hope people put kids to bed before this show. I mean, a lot of double entendre. But it's amazing how the ladies would dress up. Real, glamourous clothing, not trash.

*10:18* Arlene》It is engaged by people. Then the deafening silence 6.Mar.2021

Best clip: the lady nudist colony. Arlene:”Dorothy, I don’t think you’d go”.

I love how Arlene threw her head back when she laughed.😂❤

Class acts all around. What a treat to watch.

Funny... I've seen this before in reruns but I didn't know that Arlene Francis was so beautiful and also so risque

Arlene and dorothy are great much respect

These 2 ladies though.... gotta love em! They were just wonderful

Wonderful!!!!

"if it was a turkey it would be a special holiday" "we had turkey last week" "i know, but you're rich!" i love the chemistry between arlene and dorothy. so sad that it seems arlene was the only one to truly like dorothy too, given cerf's comments after her death

Those ladies need to show today's women how to dress. To the 9s!

Francis was known for wearing a heart-shaped diamond pendant, a gift from Gabel, which she wore on nearly all of her What's My Line appearances. A mugger robbed her of the pendant as she was leaving a New York City taxi in 1988.

RIP Dorothy.

Thank you!

The best TV game show in all of TV history.

What a discovery WML was. I have watched many episodes, some over again, never tiring of them having complete admiration for Arlene. Dorothy, Bennett and JD. Elegance, charm, wit, class, poise and sophistication at a level that has now sadly become extinct, plus equally classy regular guest panelists, Steve Allen, Fred Allen, Joey Bishop, Martin Gabel, Buddy Hackett and many more. Well-spoken contestants who took pride in their appearance and the work they did. Seeing the stars of yesteryear as mystery guests makes me realise just what talent I missed out on compared with today's so-called celebrities drawn from the tacky world of reality TV. Every episode is a gem.

The clothes. The clothes!

"I know, but you're rich!"

Contestant: Black Beaver, Indigenous Tribal Member and USMC pilot. Arlene Francis to Black Beaver: "Black Beaver, you may call me White Mink!"

They just don't make them anymore like these two classy ladies...

If you watch British game shows or talk shows, you know that they are infinitely more risque than those here in the U.S. And sadly, that's what comes from being basically a Puritanical country. My point here is this: What's My Line included a lot of risque banter and dialogue, so enjoyable to watch and listen to, and so unlike the usual TV fare in the 50s and early 60s. LOVE these clips with Arlene Francis, who would say just about anything, and Dorothy Kilgallen, who was a bit more prim and proper than Francis was. Both were smart and hilarious.

classic

If you do another one of these, it would be nice if you raised and lowered the sound accordingly.

Hilarious; pretty racy for that time, too.

Why didn’t Martin kiss his wife? I e seen him do that before to her?????

Why wouldn’t Martin kiss Arlene a happy new year yet he kissed Dorothy.

What episode number is the one from 9:59 from? Arlene's facials are too funny !

Some of the clothing was weird, as were Dorothy's hairstyles. I always wondered if Dorothy and Arlene vied for being the "first panelist".

This show is so hilarious I just love it, especially Dorothy and Arlene! I hate reading the comments on WML videos because it's all just people saying stuff like "People were so classy back then unlike the vile disgusting crude politically correct diverse libtard television nowadays" (a amalgamation of many comments I've seen LMAO). I wish people would just show their love for old television without whining their heads off about people being progressive on tv nowadays.

Was this montage sponsored by PowerDirector?

They all miss Dorothy.....they don't see Dorothy gale.....they see kilgallen and not put two and two together with Kennedy and Oz and magical trajectories... Hilarious that she was a dead Disney associate that nobody puts two and two other dead Disney associates.... How many dead Disney associates can you find in the Kennedy Os enigma with magical trajectories? To understand the Disney future and Donald and Mickey as president of USA.. Dorothy kilgallen was a Disney associate. Walt Disney was on this show. Both Dorothy and Walt Disney die....on November 22 63...Aldous Huxley and CS Lewis die...two more dead Disney associates.. Monroe makes four dead Disney associates... Follow the lies and illusions by Kennedy family as they kill for Disney Land and Disney world...

which episode is the bathtub one from?

Let's get something straight. Arlene Francis was damn sexy... her shoulders alone rival Helen of Troy.

anyone have the full episode of the nudist camp owner(the male one not the women)

1:40 I'm not a native English speaker, so could somebody tell me what miss Arlene Francis is saying here?

I wonder if the male viewer of that era was as turned on by Arlene and Dorothy's wordplay as those of us who are now watching the clips on KZfaq.

Didn't women dress just beautifully and so classy before feminism!

These two Ladies made the show for me. Not only brilliant but they complimented each other. Dorothy was more shy and Arlene was more flirty. They were a perfect combo.
