At 8:15 Arlene asks the first contestant "Could you possibly be a private detective?" I'll bet a lot of viewers were thinking what I was thinking: "So could you, Arlene; so could you." Her analytical and intuitive skills were certainly on display in this episode!

Johnny Olson was one of the greatest broadcast announcers who ever lived.

The show was never the same after Dorothy Kilgallen's tragic passing!

June 4, 1967 was a great night. Two gorgeous sixties stunners as Mystery Guests. First up was Jill St. John, and then on the live June 4, 1967 episode was the British-born Jean Shrimpton as Mystery Guest #1.

Jill St John aged beautifully!

I don't always remember to comment because I binge watch these shows so much BUT... Arlene Francis just nailed this one!!!

Arlene Francis- so delightful, dignified, poised, gracious, funny. Is there anyone like her today? Can't think of anyone.

Joan Murray looked a little nervous and lost through most of that, but I'm so happy she was able to guess the MG.

I can only imagine how colorful Arlene's dress must have been in this episode. That bold print fabric looks as though it had at least four colors, perhaps five.

John definitely must have known the guests names ahead of time due to some of their writing talents. I can hardly read most of their signatures.

I'm so glad they had Henry Morgan on these late episodes: I am about to start watching the series from the beginning again, and having seen Morgan I won't have to watch the Hal Block episodes thinking that Block was the most distasteful panelist ever.

When Henry Morgan spoke to Mrs. Twinn, I thought I heard Tony Randall laugh. I wonder if he was in the audience during this episode. There’s no mistaking that laugh 😆.

Jill St. John. Stunning :-)

When John Daly was announced I noticed Henry Morgan turned his back. I also noticed when John Daly was explaining a Yes to Henry Morgan. Morgan got kind of smart with him.

Joan Murray came up with some good questions.

2:23 Henry Morgan throwing major shade at Bennett (turning his back to him) while Cerfs telling his lame joke introducing John Charles Daly

Wish I could have bumped into Jill on the street back then!

Now here is an episode that I would have loved to have seen preserved on color videotape. Jill St. John is known for her shimmering, glimmering, and eternally red hair. Seeing Ms. St. John, and her beautiful red hair on WML, in living color, would have been, for me, something to dream about.

I'm shocked they had him back.

You’ve gotta love Arlene

So, just two more episodes left after this one -- it's hard to believe. I'm glad I haven't yet seen all the ones from the 1950's so I can go back and start watching those in order, even if I don't like WML from the 1950's as well, given some of the earlier rules, etc. (I really disliked the "walk of shame" and the wild guesses before questioning and I liked mystery guests better when questioning was changed to one question per panelist in rotation rather then allowing ongoing questions by each panelist until a "no" answer was received.)

Joan Murray died December 18th and Betty White on Dec 31st. The list of panelists from the original gets shorter and shorter each year. As of 1/3/22, the he following panelists from the original what's my line are alive: 1. Woody Allen 2. Joel Gray 3. Harry Belafonte 4. Jane Fonda 5. William Shatner 6. Steve Lawrence 7. George Hamilton 8. Joanna Barnes 9. Jeannie Carson 10. Michele Lee 11. Joan Collins 12. Aliza Kashi 13. Dick Van Dyke 14. Robert Morse 15. Paul Anka 16. Anita Gillette 17. Jack Jones 18. Dick Cavett 19. Pia Lindstrom 20. Barbara Feldon 21. Marlo Thomas

I wonder if the panel ever got a hint of who a mystery guest was if they got a whiff of their cologne, perfume, cigar, etc.

Jill St. John was the first American Bond Girl, and she starred in 1971's "Diamonds are Forever". Her husband, Robert Wagner, starred in the "Austin Powers" series, a parody of James Bond films.

The movie Jill St. John promoted, "Banning", also featured her future husband, Robert Wagner, whom she married in 1990.

Close to the end of the original WML's long run, there were only 1 or 2 more shows after this one in 1967

Joan Murray was just one of three African-American panelists on the original WML, along with Harry Belafonte and Sammy Davis, Jr.

Everyone so civil back then. Today there would most likely be a few obscenities to bleep out.

I like how the men stand to shake the guest's hand and the women remain seated...our society sorely misses the manners and etiquette shown only 50 years ago.

Landmark WML Sunday night panelist Joan Murray was a precursor to Melba Tolliver, the New York TV news reporter - anchor who appeared fairly regularly on Syndicated WML.

Regarding Jill St. John's age on this episode: Jill St. John turned 27 on Saturday, 19 August 1967 - the day before this episode aired on CBS. However, at the time the episode was videotaped, on Sunday, 4 June 1967, she was still 26. Another WHAT'S MY LINE? connection: On 14 October 1967, less than 2 months after this episode aired, Jill St. John married singer (and recent Mystery Guest) Jack Jones - who was, in fact, the second Mystery Guest on the live episode which aired on the same Sunday evening that this episode was videotaped! (Jean Shrimpton was the first Mystery Guest that evening.) This was Jill St. John's third "marriage-go-round" - and the marriage ended in divorce less than a year and a half later.

Joan Murray was born in Ithaca, NY in November 1937. Prior to her career as a journalist, she was a secretary to Allen Funt who graduated from Cornell University in Ithaca in the 1930's.

And another dead giveaway that this episode was taped on June 4, 1967: As with the live EPISODE #864 of June 4, 1967, Rowland Vance is credited as associate director this evening.

Arlene Francis was so smart.

Arlene Francis MUST have been a clairvoyant. I don't know how she figured out so many "lines" with little or no clues.

around 6:00, 13:45 and especially the exchange around 15:55 and 16:20 : Listen carefully. These bits of Henry tend to illustrate that there were tension as early as 4 June between Henry and John and especially Henry and Bennett. Bennett may have had a good idea, but Henry shuts him down TWICE --- 'cause Henry's so smart.

Joan was accomplished in aviation like so many contestant's and also a big interest of Dorothy.

John is so amazing. All around amazing.

I don't think I've seen Joan Murray since I was a kid in the 70s.

Jill St. John was a very attractive woman. But the panelist Joan Murray was stunning.

That must be the third horse blanket maker they've had on the program, and it's probably the third female detective as well.

Jill St. John is a beautiful lady.

Happy birthday Jill. Beautiful lady

As of 2020, the panelists over the course of WML through Aug 1967 who are still living are Woody Allen, Paul Anka, Joanna Barnes, Harry Belafonte, Jeannie Carson, Dick Cavett, Joan Collins, Anne Douglas, Barbara Feldon, Jane Fonda, Anita Gillette, Joel Grey, George Hamilton, Jack Jones, Aliza Kashi, Steve Lawrence, Michele Lee, Pia Lindstrom. Joan Murray, Sue Oakland, Mort Sahl, William Shatner, Marlo Thomas, Pamela Tiffin, Dick Van Dyke, Betty White.

The problem with the horse blankets topic was that John indicated you could get into it. This set the panel into a completely wrong direction.

It’s interesting how John became much more generous with the cards as inflation took its toll on the $50 maximum payout.

We need great shows like this.

For a private detective, she's a little dim. I'm assuming it's because she was caught off guard, but her admitting to the Governor of Florida using the employ of her boss directly was very indelicate. Leave it to Bennett to bring up something so brash and uncouth. He always had a habit of asking extremely inappropriate questions and making very personal comments. For such an educated man, he had a very crude way of me with no social skills.

My bet is it was Henry Morgan's LAST appearance on What's My Line... Ouch!

Recorded on June 4, 1967. Twice the Henry Morgan. The infamous Henry/Bennett row was five weeks later.

This is the age when Americans had CLASS! I love Jill St. John. "Diamonds Are Forever"🥰

All contestants tonight were female. A rare occurrence on WML.

i was born 15 year later after this was broadcatsed!

Jill St John lied when asked if she was under 25, she was actually 27 here.

Henry Morgan had a self deprecating wit. A lot of people don’t get this. I find “What’s My Line” a fascinating history of personalities and how they ended up.

They really seem sentimental tonight as they say goodnight. I wonder which was the last episode aired and which was the last recorded?

When Jill St. John started her answers to four questions with "Would you believe..." I suspected that she was repeating a phrase from the comedy series "Get Smart", and that "Get Smart" must have been new and trendy at the time. But I looked it up, and when this episode of WML aired, "Get Smart" was nearly two years old.

Back in the 1960s, Jill St John always seemed to be the leading lady to bunch of men who were old enough to really be her father , like Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.Who have long past away. She is still here at this time. In the 1950s Audrey Hepburn seemed to be on that run with Humphrey Bogart, Fred Astaire etc.

John Morgan so disrespectful turning away while Bennett introduced John. No love lost there.

This is the second episode I've seen where Henry Morgan and Bennett have been at odds with each other.

Jill St. John was born in 1940. Henry asks her if she is under 25. She answers 'yes'... 19:48

Haenry and Bennett: dissension in the ranks.

I never heard of Joan Murray, I've searched. any body know her claim to fame?

Are you married to a movie star? Not yet! Lol

One of the best Bond girls :)

Henry was ascerbic, and there's nothing wrong that. Some aspects of these panel shows did make him mad, however. For one thing, he showed disgust on I've Got A Secret when the secret was very inane or outrageous no one would logically ever get to it. For example, he liked straightforward teasers such as, "My grandfather saw Lincoln shot," or "I went to secretarial school with Betsy," he would sometimes ask on the air, out of frustration, how the producers could expect the panel to come close to guessing a wild thing like, "I snuck a kangaroo into a first class cabin when the Queen was getting ready to board a plane." or "the home I bought contained a secret room filled with Revolutionary war cannons." Henry also made his anger known after a few times he was the butt of the celebrity segments involving his having to travel somewhere far away immediately without prior notice. For example, in one segment, Henry was picked by the guest to fly to England to get a British citizen his traditional English pudding. Henry was not pleased with having to go along with the joke. In contrast, if the segment involved a joke or activity there on the show, he was fine. For example, in one great IGAS segment, a mock political convention is held. and the audience whoops it up in voting the panelist to get "it". Balloons and confetti fell as audience members announced they were voting for Henry Morgan. A band played and there was pandemonium. The "IT" they were voting for was "who should clean up all this mess"..

I have never said this about a Guest Panelist before. But I found Henry Morgan to be stiff and somewhat rude towards Bennet Cerf.

Curious - if this was recorded in June 1967 well before the notorious Henry Morgan incident, then why did John make reference to the "August heat" at the beginning of the show? Was this just John pretending that it was August when it really was June?

Agreed. She is missed on this show.

Joan Murray guessed that the MG was Jill St. John because she bumped into her yesterday on 5th Avenue. Then John says Jill arrived late today. You can hear Bennett very softly whisper to Joan "Did you bump into her?". If he did this out of curiousity or if he doubted her, I don't know. Joan says Jill was with another movie star and Jill admits that. 21:30

I’m surprised Henry Morgan was invited back after his tie-up with John Daly on a previous appearance. Maybe it was finagled to pay John back for saying if Morgan had attended Tilton he probably “would’ve been a better man”, and John wasn’t joking when he said it. You can see Morgan take a swipe at John during this episode - and he wasn’t kidding, either. Can’t stand the man (Morgan) because of his behavior on WML.

The 1st lady deserved a few wolf whistles. I think at the time it would be a little insulting to have none, especially the unmarried. Jill St. John has those incredibly high cheekbones. Gorgeous!

I wonder if they knew that this would have been the second last show to have been produced and shot?

i was 4 days old when this aired holy shit

I loved how Henry put Bennett in his place, not once but twice. Bennett feels he can talk or suggest questions any time he pleases, and Henry wouldn't stand for it and apparently, by the audience applause, they enjoyed his justified putdowns. He deserved it.

They asked if she was under 25 and she said yes, but that wasn't true.

I never understood why they asked Henry Morgan back after he was so rude the last time he appeared on the program. John Daly and Bennett Cerf were clearly annoyed by his outbursts.

I wouldn’t describe a horse blanket as solid in all ways.

St.John didn't tell the truth at 19:50 when Morgan asked her if "she was under 25". St. John answered "Yes" but in truth she had turned 27 the day before this aired.

Kinda funny that Jill St John mentioned here that she was about to work with Robert Wagner, whom she later married.

Jill St. John’s born name was Jill Oppenheim

Diamonds are forever.

It's obvious that they have prior knowledge.

At 19:50 Henry Morgan asked Jill l if " she is under 25 ? " She replied " yes " She turned 27 the week it aired.

Freeze at 16:25. Bennett's reaction to Henry caught by Franklin Heller. Probably as evidence.

So, she is now married to Robert Wagner is very good at keeping deep, dark secrets.

Joan Murray was the only Black Woman to ever sit on the panel (CBS). Correct me if I’m wrong, but was Harry Belafonte the only other African-American to be on the panel?

who is Joan Murray?

Jill lied about her age. She was 27 years old here.

She lied about pretending to be less than 25 years old - she was born in 1940, which would make her 27 years old here.

I think that it was hard to get Jill St. John is because she wasn't married to or related to anyone in show biz which is usually a big crutch to the panel.

Henry Morgan is more unlikeable than his more infamous namesake back in the 17th century.

Daly always picks on dear Bennett even when he is so genuinely sweet!

Does anybody know if those celebrities took the money or whether they gave them to charities? I would’ve thought that the format would’ve incorporated celebrities giving their winnings to charities.

The first contestant, Joan Gordon, was a very attractive woman--yet there was only the "ghost" of a wolf whistle when she entered. Do you think this is indicative of a change in the times; when wolf whistles were beginning to be seen as rude and crass, rather than complimentary?

Was this originally recorded in color? I thought TV shows had switched to that format by the end of 1966.

2:23....Henry rudely has his back turned at Bennett's intro of John.

I always loved Henry Morgan as a panelist on game shows.

she lied and said she was under 25, but she just turned 27 the day before this was aired.

Parents don't teach manners. They don't even have them.
