A clip video I put together for the 2020 Election of notable political guests on the US game show What's My Line.
They are Senator Estes Kefauver (3-18-51), Senator Margaret Chase Smith (6-14-53), 40th US President Ronald Reagan (7-19-53), New York City Mayor Robert F. Wagner Jr (1-3-54), Senator Karl E. Mundt (6-27-54), Senator John McClellan (2-13-55), Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Jr (1-22-56), Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley (8-5-56), California Governor Edmund "Pat" Brown (11-16-58), Aurora Colorado Mayor Norma Walker (11-14-65), Senator Everett M. Dirksen (7-9-1967), Representative and 38th US President Gerald R. Ford (1969) and Governor and 39th US President Jimmy Carter (1973).
I do not own any of these clips.

A few years after panelist Bennett Cerf passed away in 1971 after 25 years of marriage, his widow Phyllis Fraser married mystery guest NYC Mayor Robert Wagner (see 15:00) and they were married for 20 years until his death.

My parents were very well informed. Neighbors often read their newspapers and kept up on political affairs. They often discussed issues over coffee at the kitchen table. I loved sitting and listening to them, when I was a child. People went to libraries and read books. I think they interacted more.

Politicians have always been squalling children. They've always been awful, they'll always be awful. Politicians appearing on a game show are obviously going to be on their best behavior.

If you noted a rather subdued tone about Mayor Norma Walker's appearance, it's because that was the first show after Dorothy Kilgallen's sudden death in 1965.

Jimmy Carter’s appearance was at some point in 1974. I’m sure nobody on the panel or elsewhere would have ever imagined that he would declare his candidacy for the 1976 presidential nomination in December of 1974. As an aside, it seemed like Arlene Francis found him very attractive!

@balconi89 5 ай бұрын

IMDB lists it as December 13, 1973. But since it was syndicated at that time, it probably aired in most areas in early 1974.

One further potential political guest should be mentioned in this juncture. I don't know if the story is true or apocryphal, but when "What's My Line?" was in Chicago during the Democratic Convention the week after Mayor Daley's appearance, the producers wanted to get former President Harry Truman to appear as Mystery Guest. However, the sponsor of the show that week - Remington Rand - vetoed the idea, because one of the board members of the company was General Douglas MacArthur. (Draw your own conclusions from that.)

15:00 Reagan ran away quick...guess Nancy was waiting This was 1953 and he married Nancy in 1952, which changed his politics from FDR Democrat to Eisenhower Republican. But he didn't officially join that party until 1962. He became Governor of CA in 1967 and President in 1981.

Smoking was ubiquitous in those days. Rod Serling would often deliver his opening monologue on The Twilight Zone with a lit cigarette in his hand. And I’m old enough to remember smoking on airplanes, in movie theatres, restaurants, and other public places.
