The respect the panel shows to each other and certainly to the guests. Days gone by.

I'm named after keely Smith what a beautiful lady RIP

What an elegant long gone world. What do we have today. Love Keely Smith her voice the best

LOVE Her Collaborations with Louis Prima.🎨 🎙🎺

Keely Smith is a true talent in very way. Awesome singer!

Keeley Smith did a wonderful job in Robert Mitchum's 1958 film Thunder Road. She also sang a beautiful song (written by Mitchum) "Whippoorwill". Mitchum also wrote the Title song and made the charts with it ! It was nice to see her smile. She adopted that dead-pan look to counter the antics of her husband Louis Prima.

I was named after her to my name is KEELY & I’m from New Orleans

AS someone who grew up during the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs (I was 9 years old in 1962),I was fairly awestruck by Miss Lowe. One can only imagine the stories she could tell!

Such a polite, elegant era

Excellent singer and so shapely. I saw her In person. She had a cold but still did good. Her Daughters were in the audience. She gave tribute to Louie which was in a coma. I remember her wanting to pat Conan O' Brien's Pompadour which he gave her permission. I had a little crush on her. When she was with Louie and Sam well you couldn't do better than that. We played their DVD of complete songs on our TV twice in a row. I recommend that happy, happy dvd to all of their fan's, they'll make you feel GOOD !

Keely Smith is a beautiful lady,and a special singer!!! Love,love,love her!!!!

Alan King''s question about "did you work with someone else?" was being rather delicately phrased since Keely Smith and Louis Prima had divorced the previous year.

Keely was also named Dorothy Mae originally. We just lost her last week. She was showcased on NPR

This was remarkable, I loved Nancy the astronaut secretary too...as well as the wonderful Keely Smith.

She possessed a most swingin' and melodic voice.....too bad she was so underrated.......

One of best shows on television.

Love Keely Smith...loved her appearances with Prima on the variety shows. and I listen to her solo LPs.

Keely Smith- what a beautiful woman.

I love her voice and have seen her perform in person twice.

Keely Smith had great style and a unique voice.Her Lennon and McCartney songbook album is my favourite album of hers. RIP KEELY ..A SINGERS SINGER

Brings back memories of my family gathering around the tv, watching What's My Line. As Bob Hope once sang, thanks for the memories!

Keely was an amazing entertainer . Loved her.

I would describe the tone of the interaction on this program as "genteel". Clicked on this posting for Keely Smith; was pleasantly surprised to read Fr. Joseph Dustin's name on the chalkboard. Father Dustin once served as pastor at Most Holy Redeemer parish in southwest Detroit, Michigan.

It's entertaining to hear John Daly's Irish brogue. I like Keely Smith's hair. Very chic.

Arlene's dress is stunning. I so wish we could have seen it in colour.

Wow! I lived in Poquoson, Va for a while, like the 2nd guest!

Wow, I enjoyed that immensely. Especially the discussion about the astronauts 😎

I'm surprised Bennett didn't call out John on Miss Lowe's answer. She *did* work for someone high in government.... over a hundred miles higher than most. ;-)

Dorothy Kilgallen was a flippin' genius - what a quick precise mind!

We still enjoy Jones Sausage in 2024! My son lives in Ft. Atkinson, WI and the bacon, ham and sausage is still famous! Nice people, too!

RIP Keely.

Goodson, Todman, Johnny Olson...man, they go way back.

Keely Smith just passed away about 16 Dec 2017. Sad.

It wasn't an act. She's matter of fact, just the same way she was on stage. There's a "suffer no fools" quality about her. Marvelous.

Banjo player Father Joseph Dustin died in 1989 at age 73 and was buried at Holy Cross Cemetery. He could not read music but did write songs.

that touch of nawlins sweetness, you all...

Abosolutely gorgeous and what a dynamite voice!!!!

What a wonderful strong amazing women glad that I was named after her RIP

You can find both albums of Father Dustin on Ebay!

The Jones Sausage Co was begun in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin (Bennett knew this) in 1889. It has operated as a private, family owned company ever since. The current president named Jones is the great-great-grandson of the founder. But not all the Jones CEO's have been men. A hundred years ago the president was a female family member, really rare in those days. I remember their product "Jones Pure Pork Sausages" being advertised on TV when I was a kid but I have not heard anything about them in decades.

I was 3 yr old when this happened! love it, now I am 21

A most underrated singer along with June Christy...….long gone.....What there is today is mostly noise, noise and more noise.Good jazz music and singers exist no more....RIP.

Prima also owned his own label distibuted by DOT. Keely recorded several albums under the Prima Label.

Keely Smith, Louis Prima and Sam Butera.....WOW. Pure perfection and they could swing.

Love keely smith

Father Joseph Dustin (Apr 5, 1916 - Sep 28, 1989) - *Songs Father Taught Me* and *More Songs Father Taught Me* (Riverside Records) - with stellar sidemen: John Cali (rhythm banjo), Dick Wellstood (piano), Wendell Marshall (bass), Zutty Singleton (drums) - men who played w. Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, Jelly Roll Morton, Earl Hines, Jimmie Noone, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Hank Jones, Donald Byrd, Art Blakey, Gene Krupa, Roy Eldridge, Henry Red Allen, Buster Bailey, Wild Bill Davison, Vic Dickenson, Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, etc And on the sequel, the pianist is Frank Signorelli, a man who wrote songs like _Stairway to the Stars, I'll Never Be the Same_ or _Sioux City Sue._ Pretty impressive company, wouldn't you say. The Father could pluck, and he plucked with the best of them.

I have a crush on Keely Smith.

Hey ! That’s Johnny Olson from The Price Is Right announcing!

I had a priest in my parish that paid for seminary by playing drums in a Jazz Band in Las Vegas.

I wonder if the panel or host knew this show would be so loved and adored in the 21st century?

Keely Smith obtained her highest recognition as the wife and singer with Louis Prima. The band was "Louis Prima with Sam Butera and the Witnesses". They had a top hit in the late 50's of "That Old Black Magic".

Here's some more information on Nancy Lowe as well as the Mercury astronauts. Eventually she became John Glenn's secretary solely until her marriage. Apparently the twist comment had a lot of impact upon the mail that she received after this show. pilotonline.com/news/local/science/article_2d0cdd59-9dc4-5849-acf7-b193ed252e75.html

This aired on my 10th birthday!

Grand lady!

Didn't anyone else notice that the astronaut secretary had been on the show in the past? I wasn't even looking at the screen and I heard her voice and recognized it immediately from the first time she appeared on the show as the astronaut secretary.

I heard Keely Smith songs on the Sirius FM Sinatra channel for years, but never knew what she looked like until now.

Mr.King recognized Keely's voice.Maybe if she kept to one word answers like yes or no or really disguise her voice it would make them work harder in guessing?

Keely Smith Is From The Same State Where I Live Virginia. She Was A Movie Star. Thunder Road

Never heard of Keely Smith until this clip. Forward little creature.

I made the comment to myself on the respect to the Father on how the panel all stud up to shack his hand. This was (again) a really fun show. The secretary to the 7 Astronauts was a classic piece.

Notice how polite everyone is ... compare and contrast with 2017 😮

Keely was a great underrated singer.

It's certainly looking as if astronaut fever is starting to take hold. Tonight's Nancy Lowe, T.J. O'Malley a couple of weeks ago, lots of references by the panel and John Daly. Since I'm watching these in order, I'm wondering if I'll see any of the Mercury 7 themselves. I know we had a couple of X-15 pilots not long ago, and technically they are (or will be) astronauts according to NASA's definition of eligibility for the astronaut badge.

Everyone ate Special K every day back then. It was compulsory. Even now, older folks speak in hushed whispers about that time.

any way we can go back to this world? How nice

an amazing time in america's space program, the MA-7 was Mercury-Atlas 7, a one crew (scott carpenter) flight around the earth 3 times, notice the highlight here is "orbital" flight, carpenter spent 4 hours and 39 min. in weightless flight.

At 1:57 and 2:12: I wonder if this is the first time the word "mahout" ever appeared on US network TV. (And wouldn't this have made a wonderful occupation?)

As the secretary walked off, there was a big audience reaction. I wonder if she did something. Like maybe dance the twist?

she could sing!

Dorothj's book eventually got a really punchy title -- "Murder One." Too bad Dorothy's career and health did not allow her to get it written all by herself. I bet it would have been a beaut.

So interesting to see under which circumstances the women stand when shaking hands, in this case for a member of the clergy

KEELY WAS AN EXCELLENT SINGER AND SOOOO SHAPELY. I watched her last night on one of my home made dvd's singing ROBIN HOOD and after she said "I must touch your hair" to Conan O' Brien, and she did. I saw her preform at the Fairmont Hotel In San Francisco year's ago. She was one of the best.

Sounds like Miss Lowe was partying with those astronauts, some of whom were pretty wild, I understand, after hours in Cocoa Beach -- work hard, play hard.

All stood up to shake his hand. In english

Here's another example of all panelists standing to shake hands with the priest. Out of respect, no doubt.

The priest was very good!👏

I don't think Mr. Cerf appreciates "Twist" dancing or Rock 'n' Roll for that matter.

“The Right Stuff”

Check out Keely and Louis on Sullivan. He's frantic. She smoulders.

Bennett knows his sausages!

18:20 - Keely's appearance.

Perfect in every way.

I have never heard of Louis Prima or Keely Smith before this program.

*I'm afraid I had to look up Keely Smith on Wikipedia. Was anyone else in the same boat?*

She was also Part Cherokee.

Why would the critics and the writers back in the day compared her and her ex-husband Louis Prima to the duo "Sonny and Cher" ?

Fun clip but the thumbnail of Keely looks like a mug shot. :)

David Lee Roth did his most famous medley.

Apparently no songs by Father Dustin is available on the tube.

11:39 😂☺️☺️☺️😊☺️☺️☺️☺️😆😊☺️☺️☺️

I dont get it. They guessed that the 2nd guest was a secretary which should have been enough but for some reason John required them to find out who she worked for as well.

I never even heard TELL of the name Keely Smith!

*_JAZZ BANJO PLAYER_* *_SECRETARY TO THE SEVEN U.S. ASTRONAUTS_* *_SAUSAGE MAKER_*

made in a canning factory.

This show is simple but entertaining... why dont they remake this show?

How did Mr. Daly get that big scar on the side of his head?

Il *Belìce* è un fiume siciliano che ebbe ai greci il nome di un Dio, *Ὕψας **_pronuncia (Húpsās)*, dagli arabi, durante la dominazione saracena, il nome di *al-Qārib _(il vicino)_* e dagli *Arbëreshë di Sicilia* il nome di *Honi* perché nasce nella *Piana degli albanesi* e dagli *italiani* una pronuncia sbagliata di cui il Dio del fiume se ne amareggiò. Durante il terremoto della valle del Belìce del 1968 _(370 morti di cui 10 soccorritori, 1.000 feriti e 90.000 sfollati)_ i giornalisti della RAI commisero un arbitrio: *_spostarono la cadenza dalla seconda sillaba alla prima per cui il Belìce divenne il Bèlice._* *E questo fosse niente.* In questa valle vi è *Salaparuta, il luogo più importante nella storia del Jazz. Se Salaparuta non fosse esistita, mai esistita, se i *salitani* non avessero mai fatto parte del genere umano non avremmo avuto *Nick La Rocca* nato a New Orleans (figlio di Girolamo di di Salaparuta e Vita De Nina) che nel 1918 sostituì la parola jass in jazz nel nome della sua formazione, che divenne così il primo a farsi riconoscere con il nome jazz: *Original Dixieland Jazz Band*. La Rocca, da molti, è considerato un pioniere del jazz classico, uno dei primi interpreti in assoluto. La sua arte influenzò tutto quello che venne dopo. *E questo fosse niente.* Non avremmo avuto *Louis Prima*, nato a New Orleans, ma nipote di Luigi Di Prima emigrato da Salaparuta nella seconda metà dell’Ottocento. Louis Prima era molto orgoglioso delle sue origini, e ad ogni esibizione non mancava di far sapere al pubblico che era italo-americano e di New Orleans. Nel suo modo di cantare e di suonare erano evidenti molte influenze dell’Italia Meridionale: la teatralità dei gesti della sceneggiata o dell’opera dei pupi, l’arte scenica e le feste popolari del sud. Iniziava i concerti sempre con: *_“My name is Louis Prima, I'm from New Orleans e song’Italiano”_* Dal pubblico rispondeva sempre uno - non si sa se era lo stesso di sempre a New Yor, a Los Angeles, a Miami - *_“Uè, paisà”_* Lui scoppiava a ridere e iniziava con *Keely Smith* o con *Sam Butera* al sax un duetto, una macchietta. *E a volte per una pronuncia sbagliata noi roviniamo tutto: Belìce, Belìce non Bèlice.*

@1:25 - Syndicated colYOUMnist? 🤔

Where are the American astronauts today? We don't even have a space shuttle anymore.

This has always aggravated me. Meat, fish and fowl are the same thing. Why would chicken not be meat? why would fish not be meat? They aren't vegetables, that's for sure
