Are you a boxer? Yes. Arlene: Boy, that sure isn't the voice for it. She would have been astounded by Mike Tyson's voice

I cannot believe this show had pretty much every sport, music, television, motion picture, and politician on the show for the era it ran. Incredible!

I could see why this show was so popular. I'm highly entertained by it 57 years later.

I had the honor and privilege of meeting Muhammad Ali more than once, and every single time he took the time to shake my hand and spend a minute or two with me. Keep in mind these weren't media events or anything like that, just him going about his day. He absolutely didn't have to do that, but he was always a class act.

What I like about this show is that John Daly is compassionate and shows good empathy to all kinds of vocations or "line of work". Whether the guest is a doorman, sewage cleaner or whatever, he is not haughty and just leans right in for a "conference". Good man, and a good host!

Don't you just love the frantic urgency of 1960's commercials?

Incredible man, Mohamed Ali was more than a boxer. He was the voice of reason in a terrible era. He suffered for so many and a champion of the people!

Ali really enjoyed it and his reaction when she discovered him is priceless 😂

Ali is such a sweetheart. We will miss you x

In every television appearance or interview you always see Muhammad Ali enjoying himself, living life to the fullest. He was almost appeared as a child here playing the game. Thank you for posting this!

Muhammad Ali was an incredibly charismatic man! Like he used to say, "I'm pretty. I'm a bad man. I'm champion of the world!" ...and he was, always in our hearts truly THE GREATEST!

Ali was always the showman. RIP the greatest

I love it when the commercials are left in! However, it's sad watching and knowing that in a couple of months from this air date, Dorothy Kilgallen would be dead.

Very classy and polite gentleman.

Wasn't born til '73 but just recently discovered this show & love it! Seems like the best era for tv😊

Mr. Garagiola Was such a class act. He special to me because his book “baseball is a funny game” what is the first book I ever read in English from cover to cover

I had a feeling that some of us will go back watching this episode. Rest in peace CHAMP.

I think Ali is my all time favorite boxer, such a funny guy who made boxing fun. Love you Ali..

I loved this show. Racism was very much in "vogue" when Ali was on the show, and it didn't keep the producers of the show from bringing him on the show. Good for them! Racism was for tool long in evidence on TV shows, so God bless "WML" for not being so.

10years ago i discovered Whats my line was on YT, but i remember seeing a rereun on TV on vacation with my family in NYC in 2009 from France and i just love it. So classy and a great Time capsule of those days they litterally had all the big stars of that era were on there. Beautiful

I am constantly amazed at how smart Dorothy Kilgallen was.

Arlene is always a delight and mr daly as well! Ali is wonderful! Full of joy and almost child like banter here. Rest in peace champ

some people should live forever...Ali was one of those people

I was 12 years old when that show aired, but 10 years later I had the occasion to meet Muhammad Ali when his limo driver was lost and I gave him an official U.S. Secret Service escort to his destination in Wash.D.C. where I was on patrol doing counter terrorist work and protecting the White House in 1975. I shook the hand of Muhammad Ali and he was very nice. I too am an athlete and had to be in great shape to do the job in law enforcement that I had for many years. I am sorry to see Muhammad Ali has passed away just a few years ago. He was a great man and he did a lot for all people. I used to watch What's My Line when I was very young and I am still amazed at some of the guests. Great stuff! Keep it up!

he is classic ... THE GREATEST

The same two women have been on this show for at least twelve years, they've met a lot of famous people. A long running series when you think about it.

Silly Ali! Enjoyed the humor and game. Wonderful to view after all of these years.

The greatest of all time!

I can never forget saying hello to him while walking in Park Lane London in the ‘60’s - great personality, mighty impressive.

Ali brought grace and wit to a brutal, barbaric 'sport' like no other boxer (or athlete) in history.

Even in a suit, Ali not only looked intimidating but graceful as he moved. Truly The Greatest.

Old Ali was such a good guy--I think----he had class----good looking---and a great personality!!!

The Greatest. RIP Muhammad Ali.

25:49 Daly was 51 years old in this episode when Ali said that.

Oh my god that hairspray commercial

I love seeing the episodes with the old commercials. Makes me giggle

Even entertaining using a little girls voice. Love the man, RIP.

What a nice show ! We always watched it 🙂. And now we can look back and see the panels and celebrities as they were, with the context of the intervening years. Awful that Dorothy was murdered , presumably for "knowing too much"😢. But other than that terribly sad part, I like to hear film / theatre folk, speaking for themselves ( rather than from a script), and I relish hearing Mr. Daly's thoughtful elucidating on occasional subtle points that may, from time to time, arise in the course of the attempts by the panel to discover the occupations of the contestants....🦉( Did you see what I did there ? 🦉)..😊. I wish " What's My Line ?" could come back .😊. 🇬🇧🦉😊🌹🌈🤔🇬🇧

22:00 to 26:09 for ali. played it like 10 times in a row after i first saw it. cant stop smiling for the whole time.

this was about a year or so after ali had changed his name from cassius clay, by this time a very controversial figure, much of white america had reservations about this confident and unapologetic black man. wml was ahead of it's time, love these shows, wml is a great time stamp of that era.

RIP Joe Garagiola

I miss him so much!!! What a wonderful guy!

I just wish to go back in time and live in those times for a while

Love that little moment when Ali knows he's largely been found out. :)

Miss Woods looks like the lady on the hair spray commercial. Good hair.

Ali- Truly "The Greatest"! Not only a peerless boxer in his prime- that Ali wit and ability to speak well put him in a place all alone both before and after his reign in the ring. Name one heavyweight champ since him who could make you laugh while verbally jousting with an opponent or a reporter who would then enter the ring and float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. I enjoyed this. I wouldn't mind seeing this show revived, but I feel the lights in our entertainment firmament are pretty dim compared to the ones in this show's heyday.

Ali was so awesome. So handsome. So funny. RIP. Glad 2016 is over.

Wow, lol I just went from watching a 1954 episode to watching this, a 1965 episode. It's very weird to see Dorothy age like that in a matter of seconds.

yes muhammad what a great character.. rip

What a youthful and charismatic man Ali was!

Muhammad Ali, somethin' about that man! I was born in 1954 and got to watch him rise...and then rise again...and then again. What a hero!

I love coming to these partly to see people with really iconic voices like Louis Armstrong and Walt Disney having to do daft voices. This is the best one, Ali knocks it out of the park. A guy with a million talents, he was great at them all. Although the fact they ask whether he's Cassius Clay pisses me off slightly.

Joe Garagiola 1926-2016

Absolutely loved this one! I miss him. I was a child when he was in his prime, but wow - he affected everyone around him. I miss him also, repeating myself on purpose.

Ali was so compelling to watch. He just owns the camera.

OMG Dorothy didn't even live a month after this airing.

Muhammad Ali is currently ill from Parkinson's Disease. Everybody, please pray for him.

I really like this show. Binge watching!

R I P, great one.

Muhammad Ali....what a figure to have on back then! The greatest ever!!!

Ali was handsome.

It is heartbreaking that Dorothy Kilgallen died 2 months after this episode. (On Nov 8, 1965)

Their lives are over. Here they are all alive and captured in the moment living. As we are living now in the moment and will be dead in the future.

Muhammad Ali is doing a great impression of Mike Tyson here to disguise his voice, even though Mike wasn't born yet.

Love the included commercials

we miss you champ!

RIP Champ and Dorothy too. It is mind boggling and sad that less than 2 months after this Dorothy would be gone. But you still are in our hearts forever.

Arline and dorothy were so elegant

I have recently come to love the show at 55 years old. And while this may not have been the best episode, it was certainly my favorite episode because it had Muhammad Ali in it. Growing up in the 70s I’ll Lee was my hero and now in my 50s he’s still my hero even as a dead guy. He’s one of the greatest men who ever walked on this planet and everyone knows about it.

You will be remembered

Joe Garagiola died at age 90 in 2016, still married to the same wife since 1949.

Wow, Mr AlI did a terrific job (I was in another room when I heard him give his first answer, and I had no clue who it was). Ms Francis is - as always - so good at figuring out who, what the person is, celebrity, or otherwise.

What a delightful fellow the Champ was, in every setting. Still can't believe the government in the '60s chose to mess with him rather than celebrate him. It's a testament to our 'greatness' that such a fellow could have emerged among us, and a testament to our narrowness that he didn't get his full due till the '70s.

Back in the 60s I worked the Front Door of the Fountainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. One the hotel bellhops, Levi, was Ali's sparring partner at the 5th Street gym. When Ali pulled up to the hotel, Levi came out and the two of them put on a simulated sparring exhibition for everyone. Shuttle buses pulling up and folks in the buses couldn't believe what they were seeing!

My Favorite Boxer, Before Iron Mike, Took over Mohammed was a great Human Being also May he RIP & is Sadly missed, By all of his Fans etc.

Dorothy Kilgallen now at the zenith of her big-haired sophisticated Woman of the World period. And looking fine, too.

Awesome, and watching the commercials!!!!!

Worms, always good for yocks in England, in Quebec, and on WML.

Muhammad Ali, the greatest❤🤲

I Love seeing the old commercials

Muhammad Ali was such a great entertainer. He made such an amazing commitment to making the networks bring in so many ratings. He did for the networks what no other boxer has ever done for them. He never changed his view points and way of charm and conversation for the camera.

What a great great champ....we miss him..

What a classy lot. All of them.

Everybody spoke so high class back then.

Procter & Gamble marketed "Hidden Magic" for several years (and used "Wanda the Witch" in their commercials at the time).

I love the voice that Muhammad Ali put on. It was such fun watching his videos with Howard Cosell and the video of Billy Crystal doing it impersonation of him. He and Crystal were friends as were he and Cosell. Ali had a sense of humor too comment he made about John Charles Daly.😂❤

I love you Muhammad Ali

At the end of the 1964 season, the Yankees for still somewhat mysterious reasons and a lot of unfounded rumors, fired long time announcer Mel Allen. Joe Garagiola was hired to replace him in the broadcast booth by hiring Joe away from NBC. Earlier, he had been part of the broadcast team for the St. Louis Cardinals (his first big league team and his hometown team) from 1955-62. CBS was in the process of taking over ownership of the Yankees at the end of the 1964 season and it's possible that they had something to do with the change in announcers. Years later Allen was quoted as saying that the team's primary sponsor, Ballantine Beer, was behind the move as a cost-cutting measure because the brewery was seeing declining sales and needed the savings. But that answer has to be questioned because by this time in his career as a television personality and the author of the popular book "Baseball is a Funny Game:, Garagiola would have commanded a fairly hefty salary. I imagine that CBS asked WML to give Joe a shot on the panel to test his versatility. And indeed he would prove to be a versatile TV performer as a game show host and panelist, an occasional guest host of "The Tonight Show", as well as his years as part of "The Today Show" team, although he returned to NBC for most of his television work. Growing up on the same street as Lawrence "Yogi" Berra in the poor neighborhood of St. Louis known as "The Hill", Joe was considered the better prospect of the two and he made it faster to the major leagues. In 1946, he had a decent rookie season and was one of the heroes of the Cardinals victory in the World Series that year, their last World Series victory until they ironically beat the Yankees in 1964. He hit .316 in the Series, far better than either Stan Musial (.222) or Ted Williams (.200). He also was one of the heroes of the Cardinals playoff victory over the Dodgers when the two teams were tied for the NL pennant at the end of the regular season. Only 20 years old and a hero in his hometown reportedly was a difficult attitude adjustment for him. He slumped so badly by 1948 that he was sent back to the minors. But he rebounded in 1949 and was hitting .347 in the first two months of the 1950 season. Then on June 1, after laying down a sacrifice bunt, Joe fell after awkwardly avoiding a collision with Jackie Robinson who was covering first base. Badly separating his shoulder, he missed most of the rest of that season and both his shoulder and his career were never the same again. By the time he retired at the end of the 1954 season, he was already developing a reputation as a popular after-dinner speaker with the ability to tell funny stories, often about his boyhood pal, Yogi. In their own ways, two poor kids from the slums made it big. Berra made it big, had a Hall of Fame baseball career and made a lot of money with investments. Reportedly Garagiola did even better financially.

Good episode! I love how Mohammed Ali had fun keeping the panel in the dark as long as possible, but then I always like seeing other people have a good time. I have never heard anything bad about him, and he always made a good impression on me everytime I saw him on TV. The other segments of the show were also entertaining.

I like this show for the same reason I liked Craig Ferguson. It's just a brief glance at the celebrity as a real person.

Oh I love the old Top Job floor cleaner commercials! But I love the old commercials regardless what they are.

We've really lowered the "bar". Everyone on these shows are dressed to the 9s, very polite, and respectful to each other. There is no foul language.

Dorothy Kilgalen was so beautiful and polite😁♥️

Thanks for posting! I've seen close to 100 of these now and a general observation is that at the beginning, circa 1950-52, regular non-performing folks seemed nearly shocked or cowed by appearing before a TV camera and by 1959-65, they are much more at ease, if still a little shy.

Ali to the Host "" I Must Admit That You Really Don't Look THAT OLD !!! ".....LOVE IT !!!!!....

Joe Garagiola was very pleasant, good looking, and a good panelist.

Love this programme.RIP Mr Clay.M ALI.

Promoting his fight with Patterson! Sharp salesman. I was waiting for one of his hilarious poems to break out, but no.

I've been looking for this ever since I saw it in the "I Am Ali" doc.. thanks!
