she would’ve totally KILLED it on SNL omg she was so funny and just a fun person in general

Cass Elliot was so lovely. I am so sorry she passed at such a young age leaving a young child behind motherless. Bless her.

One of the truly great voices that was silenced much too soon.

Cass was a great talent. I still miss her.

It's obvious that Soupy adored Cass.

Aw, just a wonderfully bright and witty lady - who also happened to have one of the most lovely singing voices of her era. RIP doll!

Cass Elliott is similar to Mae West, her wit, her flirtatious innuendos, both trail blazer women .. love em both, don't you agree with my similarity?

As a panelist, I miss Dorothy, what an amazing story. Cass of course was amazing too, a unique voice. I still watch the original WML, love it and that they include the commercials!

Her voice had my babies bouncing in my belly each time I played her. Gone too soon

I love Cass's look here, so pretty.

What an absolutely beautiful lady she was and an incredible singer as well PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!

One of the greatest voices ever

It's always a gas when Mama Cass shows up.

So classy when Cass walks on to the set.

I forgot how much I loved this show. BRING SOMETHING LIKE IT BACK!!!! "Television" with intelligent (and funny) discourse

So great to see Cass Elliot here. Thank you so much for posting this episode 👍

Cass was adorable and I loved her singing!

Soupy knew right away it was Cass with the records question .

Thanks for sharing, she was such a Nice person, great voice bud sadly gone too zoon. Rip Cas ❤️🙏

Only Gawn and Anita are still with us

Mr. Elsner Born May 20, 1923, in Chicago, he died Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2008, at home. A very nice man.

Two of the panel are still around! Good for them and us!

THANK YOU for posting...this Cass Elliot fan has been dying to see this!

As "square" of a show as "What's My Line" was by the late '60s-early '70s, it did make an effort to include big, current stars of the day that weren't necessarily catering to the show's demographics. And Wally Bruner was a terrific host; very conversational and engaging of both the panel and the contestants. Worth remembering: "What's My Line" celebrated people of relatively humble/mundane occupations right alongside the rich and famous. This was in an era when there was genuine human interest in the ordinary person, as opposed to today's occupation with fame.

Just superb class and respect all the way from a time that we will never ever see again ever PERIOD!!!!!

Cass could talk to me southern all day and all night!

I never noticed Cass had beautiful legs

I first heard of/saw Mama Cass in "H R Pufnstuf" when it was first out at the drive-in. My mom pointed her out like she was someone special. Good times.

Great, I loved Cass Elliot

Carylin Lane the cook book writer was so right. Nutrition is the right way to live pregnant or not. bravo her .

The people of this time had so much class and respect for others. If only people acted this way now. .😢

She was awesome! ❤

Love Cass Elliot's shoes!!!!

Cass looks quite pretty here. Loved her.

Cass is my favorite singer.

She had a great voice!

The old format was much better.

she was multi talented

I love how they said you would be in a couple/married to be pregnant and also Mamacass said she didn't sing in a band.

John Lennon said his favorite cover that anyone ever did of his songs was the M&P's version of I Call Your Name, on which Cass sang lead.

To Cass at 19:40 "They tell me one of your big ambitions in life is to meet John Lennon"

it's truly a sad travesty what has happened to American television. Programming then was interesting and fun to watch.

I was 10,when this Aire. Did See it? Soupy Sales so cute, and funny. Good to see Mama Cass Elliot. What a talent.

She is striking, the cook book writer

Always LOVED Cass, such a great singer!!! She died on my 24th Birthday and I was very upset that day

I met a lady who was a big Mama Cass fan. She had that choking in her voice when she mentioned missing her!

I watched this episode because of Mama

I love her subtle put-down of Yoko Ono.

Arlene is the most fascinating for how she became more modern looking as time went on. However, does anyone get the feeling she’s either uncomfortable with the show by now and/or feels like she has to sometimes “teach” the other panelists how to respond appropriately?

So damn good!

Needs Dorothy Kilgallen. Love Cass Elliot!

Cass is faded here 🤣🤣 I love you Cass 💜

I miss MC so much. Such a shame she checked out so early and at 32. SMFH!!

Cass Elliot great lady Rest In Peace

16:15 Ellen Naomi Cohen (Cass Elliot) 1941-1974. She died in London after having performed a successful two week stint at the Palladium. Keith Moon died in the same room a few years later, also at 32. 18:15 "Do you sing in a group?" "No" Well that's misleading. She was most well known as being in the Mamas and the Papas. Even though they "broke up" and she was a solo artist they did record an album the following year 1971.

Soupy Sales, my friend.

I love Cass’s dress here

Arlene Francis is the only witty panel member left. That show was so much better in the 50’s.

Sadly, Mama Cass Elliot was only 32 when she died of a heart attack.

The syndicated version of WML we see here was so poorly directed and conceived. The celebrity segments were always rushed to make way for the stupid little bits in between. They should have brought back Cass after the commercial and ditched the letters to the panelists.

Really Love This Show

Arlene was so smart and always guess the line. A wonderful and inteligent lady.

Such a great singer either with the Mamas and Papa's and alone. Gone too soon.

RIP Cass Elliot. RIP 'What's My Line"

She was part of a group call The Mamas & the Papas so she did sing with other people. She should have answered the question about whether she sings alone or with other people by saying: at one time I did.

"Unfortunately Yoko Ono was there at the time." "Thats was a shame!"

She looked great... show was taped as the manson family were about to begin.

Great legs Cass!

The problem with the syndicated show is they never the Mystery Guest rounds go on like the original series! The contestants just don't have any time to really work at it!

Lost her much too soon

This was different than the 50s version, check the Grovey clothes and sideburns

19:00 she died of a heart attack at 32 in 1974.

whereas i know John Charles Daly set a mighty high bar..... even so, Wally leaves a lot to be desired.

Buzzr presently airs the color episodes of "WML"-However,they've edited out the introductions of the various panelists.

I’m not convinced soupy isn’t cheating. He knows too much. I thought Arlene had it.(parking meter).

Mama Cass What A Beautiful Lady. Gone Too Soon.

I just realized that Gawn Grainger is married to Zoe Wannamaker. She's one of my favorite actresses.

Ellen Naomi Cohen (September 19, 1941 - July 29, 1974), known professionally as Mama Cass and later on as Cass Elliot

Anita Gillette: Are you sorta small?

I can’t be the only one who feels Gerard Butler could play Soupy Sales in a Biopic

Both the original and this show were produced by the same man - Gil Fates. He said in his book that he was going to make time for the host to talk to the mystery guest, something Daly rarely did in the original show.

She said she sang alone not in a group. I guess they had probably split up as a group by then.

I'm pretty sure that Arlene knew the answer about the parking meter when Wally all but gave away the answer, but she played along to let the game go another round. I m trying to think of any other game show where the host had his full name displayed at the podium, and I can't think of any. I am wondering if Wally had that specified in his contract since he was known as a journalist on network news, but was largely unknown in the world of games shows as far as I know.

Hey Chad. Personal preference: the CBS series (1950 - 1967) or the syndicated series (1968 - 1975) of Whats My Line

The company made the meters 'theft-proof', but the NY Parking Violations Bureau members stole hundreds of thousands of dollars after the coins were collected.

she was a part of a group- the mamas and papas...that should have been yes, not no...

I miss John Daly

John Daly would be rolling his eyes at this Wally Bruner…sorry to say but my goodness he was a terrible host.

18:16 Too bad nobody thought to follow that up by asking if she was EVER in a group.

She had some pretty little legs!

They give half away at the start.

All royal titles and then the English guy uses "The First Lady". ISWYDT

Are you sort of small?

It is just not the same in color..

Arlene was needed to retain the programs character.

a gorgeous woman! amazing calves btw - not to be rude, but great legs! get it, cass!

The second guest looks like Joe Pesci's Dad. LOL

I think the original WML with John Daly was much better.

What's "The Mitty" that the English hate?

Do you have the WML with Barbara Walters from 1969?
