John and the panel are beside themselves over this sexy young lady who has patterned her whole look and style after Marilyn Monroe. Robert Preston is the guest panelist.

And very smart! I love how eloquently the host, John Daly, explains nuances without giving too much away. He is absolutely perfect for this show. Yes, I miss politeness and flirting that didn't cross boundaries. I especially miss the days when it was impolite to talk politics or religion in mixed company. Lately, I'm afraid to attempt small talk while waiting. Too many angry people walking around ready to explode.

I started watching WML thoroughly in the last year. John Daly has an incredible command of the English language. When he explains to the panelists that they may be "wrong", he also words it that they "are not exactly right either". Thought to be the best game show host of all time aside from Barker or Sajak.

Two things that are radically different on all these game shows from today. First, can you imagine anyone going on a game show today where the BEST you can do is to win $50? And, in all the game shows from the 50's, every time a good looking woman appears as a contestant, there are numerous "wolf whistles" from the male members of the audience. Heck, even John Daly acts like an excited school boy when he says "Sit down with me." What a change over the years.
