I would like to thank the uploader of this series. Great job. I had a serious fall and have been watching from 1955 up to this show I had started from the beginning before that. I am a different David Evans from someone else that comments on videos too. I used to say things about volume. No more problems. Thanks again for these great shows.

RE: Silvers’s baby born May 27, 1961, none other than CATHY SILVERS. An American actress and author, and the daughter of actor/comedian Phil Silvers. She is best known for her role as boy-crazy teenager Jenny Piccalo in later seasons of the TV sitcom “Happy Days.” RE: Do Re Mi. Ran on Broadway for 400 performances. Not bad for a musical about juke boxes.

Once I heard a street musician playing "Nancy (With the Laughing Face." I asked him if he knew who wrote the lyrics to that song and he correctly replied, "Phil Silvers." I was surprised he knew and commented that it seemed strange that a guy like Phil Silvers would have written a lyric like that. The street musician replied that in his experience, people who are talented in one area are often talented in another.

Arlene Francis' introduction of Joey Bishop refers to his upcoming filming of a movie Badlands. The title was changed to Sergeants 3 and was the 2nd and last film to star all 5 members of the Rat Pack: Sinatra, Dino, Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis Jr and Joey Bishop. The 1st was Oceans 11. Shortly thereafter Sinatra had a falling out with Lawford (long story). Sammy Davis was taught speed gun draws and other tricks by Rodd Redwing an Indian Hollywood trainer in guns and bows & arrows. Redwing was one of the fastest guns that ever lived and had appeared as a mystery guest on an earlier WML. Davis became so adept that he incorporated it in his act. Interestingly John Wayne encouraged Davis to become proficient with a gun and actually lent him his own old battered hat that he had worn in many of his westerns directed by John Ford. The hat was large for Davis and the Rat Packers kept pulling the hat down over Davis' head and saying "Wayne, huh?"

Considering how frequently Joey Bishop appeared on the WML panel, and his close association with Frank Sinatra, one wonders how he diplomatically juggled his friendships with both the Charmain and Dorothy Kilgallen, who shared a mutual loathing.

@jamesfeldman42344 жыл бұрын
Frank Sinatra was one of the most interesting and complex people in all of show business history, and yes, he did have several high-profile feuds with a number of people, including Dorothy Kilgallen. And it's true that loyalty was something that was extremely important to him. But his feelings about Dorothy did not rise to the level of "the friend of my enemy is my enemy" and he did not demand or even want that his friends cut off ties with Dorothy. So, Sinatra would have had no problem with a close friend like Phil Silvers, who also co-wrote one of the best songs in the Sinatra Songbook, "Nancy (With the Laughing Face)," having a friendly relationship with Dorothy. The same was true of other close friends, such as Kirk Douglas. But for an example of where the principle of "the friend of my enemy is my enemy" would apply to Sinatra, I'd cite columnist Lee Mortimer.

took some research to figure out why joey bishop figured out jockey john sellers from a 7th place finish at the belmont rather than winning the kentucky derby... "carry back" had already won the first two legs of the triple crown, and the belmont was the mostly widely anticipated race of all three.

RE: Arlene's introduction of Joey Bishop. The WML panel did not mention Utah much over the years. Kanab Utah -- then as now -- is a small town in South Utah red rock country. In the 1950s and 1960s, many Hollywood companies used it as a western movie and western TV filming location. Considering how sophisticated Sinatra, Bishop, and Martin were -- and big city sophisticates to boot -- Kanab must have bored them dry.

RE: Dorothy solving pickles practically all by her self. She may have remembered a sequence two years before involving another pickle packer. The questioning of that sequence got terribly complicated; Bennett and John exchanged pissed-off words; some of the questioning made John nauseous; the panel got lost in space and generated huge laughs anyway.
@savethetpc640610 жыл бұрын
I was glad to see Dorothy at the top of her game in this round! I was annoyed with John Daly in this episode, though. First he didn't even flip all the cards for the pickle lady who came all the way from Australia and only won $5 -- I know she wasn't in New York just for WML -- but still! Then he wasted all the diploma-maker's time with that one question -- and I think he was completely wrong in his assessment of the answer too. He should have just let Mr. Rosen's "no" stand and let the questioning continue.
@jvcomedy9 жыл бұрын
SaveThe TPC I don't recall exactly when, but there is a point in time during the run of WML that all contestants got the $50 whether they made it through all 10 questions or not. The cards he flipped became nothing more than a prop to keep track of where they were in the game. I suspect that even though John didn't flip the cards that this lady was still given the $50.
@TheBraveIntrovert9 жыл бұрын
soulierinvestments Well actually when Dorothy said "Well where am I?" Bennett said "pickles". Then Dorothy went on to ask like 7 more questions. That's partly what made Dorothy annoying to me. When she knows the answer she still continues with her questioning unnecessarily.

Purple Capricorn Good catch! If you listen closely, you can indeed hear Bennett say "pickles" at about 13:00. In this case, though, even though she asked a lot of questions, it only took 40 seconds for her to get through all of them to get to the pickle question. I think we can forgive her that, and I also think she was smart to ask enough questions to be sure that she would not be off base if she guessed pickles.

It seems entirely possible that Mrs. Neistet was married to a gent named Jacob, who died in 1958. She had one kid with him, and later married someone else named Lee, and had a few more kids, and for some reason died in Los Angeles in 2012. Why Los Angeles? Why indeed.
