The great Peggy Lee had a very long career and sang into the '90s when many of us caught up with her. It's a bit startling therefor to be reminded of what a stunningly beautiful woman she was in her early prime...beyond her singing she was a prolific and highly successful songwriter as well.

Listening to John’s anecdote at 6:00 really struck a chord. We often find ourselves reminiscing about the ‘old days’ and it’s interesting to hear someone do the same thing nearly 60 years ago

The one and only Peggy Lee. A really great singer who could sing jazz, soft ballads and pop songs!

Fabulous Peggy! Great lyricist and singer!

Peggy Lee (in my view) was one of the most talented singers/songwriters of the 20th Century. Judy Garland is also regarded as being one the best from the same era, and in a 1967 interview, Judy was asked who her favorite female singer was, and without missing a beat she replied, "Peggy Lee."

The great Peggy Lee! One of the best and most durable singers of the 20th century ... she could sing anything. She also won a Oscar nomination for her acting!

At 8:58, Arlene Francis says to the first contestant, the livestock auctioneer, "You're in the barter business, are you? The contestant doesn't understand, so Arlene says, "For money, just for money." But barter is not for money. Barter is the exchange of something of value for something of equivalent value. The auctioneer was not in the barter business.

I have always admired Martin Gabel. At 5:47, when Arlene is being dishonest about "trading" instead of "training", you can hear him say, "Be honorable", to which Arlene replies, "Be honorable? In Television?" It's a testament to Mr. Gabel that he was successful in his field with such a handicap.

Arlene was really the sneaky one on the first contestant -- I'm quite sure she said "training" in her original question (5:26).

Man, Peggy Lee is the epitome of early-60s glamour.

Peggy Lee was known as Miss Peggy Lee and became the inspiration for the Muppet character Miss Piggy. In fact, Miss Piggy's original name was Miss Piggy Lee. The "Lee" was dropped as the character became more famous because Jim Henson and his crew didn't want to upset Peggy Lee.

If you’ve ever seen Lady & the Tramp, you’ll know the multi talents of Peggy Lee!🤓

Love these shows

I love this show 🤍🤍 Peggy Lee 🤍🤍🥰😍

I had forgotten what Gazarra looked like back then. So young!

Respect & fun = a wonderful show.

Peggy Lee was a unique artist. Unlike any other and above just about all of them

The great Peggy Lee. I find myself wondering why she was not given more opportunities as an actress in feature films. She could have played earthier types than Doris Day. Hollywood's loss.

Loved the lady auctioneer! 🥰👍

I still love her song Is that all there is

I love this show! And what a concept - smoking on tv...

Peggy Lee (1920-2002) was born Norma Deloris Egstrom in North Dakota to a Swedish-American father and a Norwegian-American mother. She was 5'6" tall, but I think she always looked taller than that, probably due to high heels and the fact that she almost always performed in a long gown with a hemline near her ankles. Her gowns almost always displayed her shoulders and were frequently strapless. She had quite a stage presence when she sang. She wrote a long of songs lyrics, too, including some for Disney where she also did some singing, as in "Lady and the Tramp". She actually was quite a good lyricist and, of course, when she wrote a song and sang it, no one ever did it better.

Ben Gazzara! What a BABE!!

Toward the end of his career/life Ben played a character in the movie "Road House" that I just HATED, seeing him here so young and lively is such a pleasure. I wish he would have been on more than just a couple of times. He's quite good for not being one of regulars.

Awww. Mrs. Haytis looks a lot like my grandmother, gone now for 50 years.

Loved her so much as a boy god bless

My grandma was in season 10 episode #452

ben gazzara is an angel

The auctioneer seemed a little carried away when she met Ben Gazzara.

So then history will note, John Daly was once nearly auctioned off for $125. That's $1,100 in today's economy.

Peggy Lee gave me Fever when I was very young. Oh yeah. LedHed Steven 🎶 🎸 🎹 🎸 🎶

Very sad - as the camera is on Ben Gazzara during the first contestant, you see the smoke from his cigarette. He eventually got throat cancer, that would lead to the pancreatic cancer that ended his life.

I like how WML can be a reflection on the evolution of female fashion from the 50s to the 60s... in one decade what a leap! Girls in the earliest episodes were still dressed as if they were going to a prom and even their elders had clothes that look very 40s... but by 60, judging by that auctioneer's style, it wasnt a big deal anymore to dress like a doll... by the way I love her style, maybe she was geeky by the standards of the day but there is a very modern look about her...

Shame on you Arlene. You said ‘training’.

I'm 73 years old and was 11 when this show was on. I have lots of memories of watching this with my parents on Sunday night. Peggy Lee was a big deal then; can't say as I remember her here on this particular episode, but it's always fun to see her. If you have time, take a look at this recent tribute to her on CBS Sunday Morning kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pc6gfLxhlZrLink.html

I was really charmed by Peggy Lee; and having been born in 1948, I was able to appreciate some of her hit records at the time she had recorded them. But perhaps somebody can enlighten me on this issue: Why is it that so many famous and extremely talented individuals have a problem holding on to a marriage? It seems like many of these often multi-talented people went through 3, 4, and (even) 5 divorces, with marriages that often lasted no more than 6 months to 4 years. I simply don't clearly understand all the issues around that. I do know that being a famous performer of some kind does require a great deal of work and travel and mingling, and often in "intimate" ways with a lot of different people. So perhaps all of "that' has some bearing on "meeting the challenges" that come with maintaining a marriage commitment.

the auctioneer was darling and clearly nervous! But she did well!

"you asked about three questions there" I Iove when people "own" Dorothy Kilgallen.

i sometimes catch the cattle auction they usually go from $6K - $8K each no wonder steakhouses are expensive.......

Ben Gazzara is smoking a cigarette! I thought they had stopped that years ago!

The voice of Lady from Lady and the Tramp.

Peggy Lee was so fine!

PS 🥳PEGGY LEE🥳 Effortless Class. HUGE TALENT. Wrote songs too. See the film of her composing 'He's a Tramp' for Disney. Disciplined, no slackness but FUN.

Ben Gazzara was a good looking man!

It is so obvious that Arlene Francis was the dominant figure in the marriage.

I wonder what the population of Wyoming was back then? Its's only about 500,000 now.

Great singer but loved her eyes…

Why is the background of the money cards the State of Florida?

Ben Gazzara, OH, MY!

Dorothy sometimes spoilt the celebrity spot by guessing the celebrity’s name far too quickly, and this was a case in point. Dorothy was an excellent panelist, but her success in guessing the name of celebrities within a minute or so was infuriating! I suspect she did her homework before the show.

I wonder just how long the yiung woman aiuctioneer's life was? And also how many auctioneers are still out there doing that kind of a job?

"Can we rule out horses, cows and sheep?" and they got a yes .. hmmm

Why is this episode two minutes shorter than normal? Was this a victim of GSN's notorious speed-ups?

Peggy Wightman Looks like naughty librarian that look she gave him at 3:08 Can I visit your dressing room???

She did say training, didn't she? It's not a big deal but she's usually more honest.

the 1st contestant looked cute w/o the glasses exc im not sure if her one tooth was gold or bad?

Wow, was Ben Gazzara handsome at age 30.

What did she say?

Arlene did not like the livestock girl. And there was a dark energy about her.

If that first guest, Page, were alive at that age today, she'd probably have pink hair and a nose ring. But, alas, this was 1960. But she still had an edgy look!

22:51

Arlene said training,what a cheat

19:22 Dorothy was referring to Peggy Lee's album, "Latin a la Lee," which had just been released the previous month. The LP was very popular and led to a sequel the following year, "Ole ala Lee." These were two of the better known albums in her discography.
