Sal had such a sparkle in his eyes. A talented young man and such a tragic ending.

That's one beautiful bullfighter! I love watching these shows! Takes me back to my childhood.....happy times indeed! 🥰👏👍

I always loved Sal Mineo he was a gorgeous young man, with dark good looks, so handsome .... It was so sad when he was killed, such a great loss to the world...

Sal Mineo was a gorgeous dude!

I'll always love Sal.

"were you born outside of the country?" Sal Mineo whispers, "Yes,The Bronx !"....LOL.

Seeing his gorgeous face and smile, I want to cry from the terrible tragedy of a lost life.

Sal Mineo was not only a very attractive young man, but an amazing actor too. He was taken from this world too soon.

thrilled to see Sal Minio. he was magnificent looking.

Sal was so much fun! I enjoyed him very much. It breaks my heart that his life came to such a tragic end, he was so handsome & talented! ❤️

He was still practically a child here. Gorgeous young man.

Man, that was the prettiest bullfighter Ive ever seen ! Pretty, with a very nice smile and a great attitude. Makes for a beautiful combination.

A very talented actor who really got shafted by Hollywood because he dared to be different. He deserved better than what he got late in his career. His death was so senseless.

Rest in peace Sal Mineo, he died in such a horrific way.

All 3 leading actors of Rebel Without a Cause died tragically and young

If there was ever an epitome of handsome, divinity, beauty, talent, and tragedy it was Sal Mineo.

They are all so charming and civilized!

They all have an expression of kindness , goodness in their eyes that I am not seeing in these times .

These panelists are so suave and dignified, referring to a teenage boy as "MISTER Mineo", lol. Miss Francis said, "You're aging us, Mr. Mineo!"

Ernie's question to Sal Mineo about a "knife" was more than a little eerie ...

Ernie Kovacs and Sal Mineo were both taken too soon. May both be resting in peace.

Sal Mineo was beautiful. He lived less than 20 years from when this program was made. He was murdered in 1976 at the young age of 37 years. may he continue to rest in peace.

It's amazing the amount of legendary 'talent' on this show - and the amount one learns when 'googling' info on guests - Betty Ford seemed more like a model than a Bullfighter - and I was right! Anyone can become anything - if they put their mind to it... Too bad television isn't as informative and entertaining as it used to be... Thank you, 'What's My Line?' :)

Stabbed to death in his garage on Holloway Dr. in LA summer of 1976..Huge loss

I saw "The Karate Kid" a few days ago and I can't believe I just noticed, the resemblance between young Ralph Macchio and the late Sal Mineo is so uncanny you'd believe the two were related.

Sal Mineo was so adorable, it was ashamed how he died.

Best mystery guest ever!

"Fellow who gets the girl in the end." Nice one, Dorothy. Even allowing for the fact that the show took place in a somewhat more innocent era and that the WML panel and host were generally decorous, I thought I heard some raucous laughter in the audience and Sal Mineo was certainly amused by it.

Sal Mineo, "Que Bello". RIP

It's truly iropnic that both Sal Mineo and Ernie Kovacs BOTH died violently. Mineo stabbed to death and Kovacs died in a car crash in 1962.

I must say that the lady contestants on this particular episode were quite lovely!

In spite of his youth Sal Mineo dared to use a funny voice (John looked really surprised when he heard it 15:51) and he seemed to enjoy the show.

Sal Mineo's uncle lives in Tacoma. Al Mineo. (Probably gone.) Washed his windows for over 20 years... and he showed me many pics with him and Sal. Al also had a recording studio in backyard. Used it many times in the 90s and 10s !

I love your channel! I’m 51 so this was way before my time, but if I could have picked an era to live in, it would be the 50’s

The bullfighter was named Betty Ford. I wonder if Jerry knew what she did while out of town. AND she is still alive at the age of 93 as of 10/15/2020!

Miss X was a lovely woman. You could see that she was quite athletic from the way she carried herself. Thanks for the video. Thanks for the video.

15:53 lmao the face on John's face when Sal answers yeah... That's what I love about John , he's so funny all the time haha

Sal Mineo was born January 1939, so he is 18 here.

I really like Ernie Kovacs in the panel. He was charming, witty AND asked good (and funny) questions. He held his cigar behind the back of Arlene so the smoke wouldn't bother. He told Martin that was the reason and nothing else. :) 9:25

I like Sal Mineo and I think it was awful the way he died

Ernie Kovacs was a really pleasent man.

They should try this show again. On Sunday nights at 10:30. Could have great celebrity guests.

John loved his conferences.

As a joke Ernie guesses that the MG is Madame Schumann-Heink. 20:31 Ernestine Schumann-Heink (1861-1936) was a german opera singer. She sang the part of Klytämnestra at the premiere of Richard Strauss's opera *Elektra* in 1909, performed with Gustav Mahler and sang Wagner for many years at the Bayreuth Festivals. She moved to the USA in 1905 and from 1925 to 1935 she sang "Silent Night" every Christmas over the radio.

Funny that Sal and John agreed that he wasn't a "tall, dark and handsome" leading man. Geez, who was handsomer in Hollywood at that time? They should have said he's two out of three, since he wasn't tall.

Sal Mineo seemed very kindly and down to earth.

Sal was a nice looking fellow and it's nice to see a Mystery Guest that while, not four- legged, represents an ethnicity not usual to the television audience.

"... the fellow gets the girl in the end" is a great line from Dorothy in relation to Sal

Man back then stars are better then today's

"The fellow who gets the girl in the end." One of the great things about WML were the unintentional double entendres.A classic WML moment!

17 days ago of this episode's month and year, I was born. Yehey! It was a wonderful and gorgeous year, based upon seeing this program.

When I was a kid, my sister had a poster of him on the wall in her room. I always remember that.

Very talented young .an whose life was cut short

Lost in all this admittedly deserving Sal Mineo hoopla is the fact that Arlene Francis was SMOKING in this episode! Nailed two (2) professions.

This is the second show I've seen with Ernie Kovacs on the panel, that quadriped question was most unexpected AND hilarious

I love Sal Mineo!I seen him in Somebody up there likes me starring Paul Newman.I also seen Sal in Rebel without a cause,the James Dean movie which took James to stardom.

It seems to me that WML had a lot of bullfighters and coaches for expectant parents. The panel actually seems to have gotten skilled at identifying them.

Arlene was four months shy of 50 years old here. She would outlive Sal by 25 years. Arlene (1907-2001) / Sal (1939-1976)

By the time this program aired, Betty Bloomer had been married to Gerald Ford for about 9 years. He won his first term as a Congressman from Michigan shortly after they were married. But at this time in her husband's career, Betty Ford would not have been a household name on a national level. Bette Ford, the bullfighter, was famous enough to require her to sign in as Miss X. I don't think that Betty Ford would have needed to disguise her name.

Totally addicted to WML before Dorothy died. I've started addressing people "is it bigger than a bread box" And " am I right in thinking that you do not, scratch your bum in the morning"...

Ernie's book, Zoomar, is a good read. It is a sort of Mad Men set in the world of 50's TV, with a lot of the same forces at work in the plot line.

Gorgeous Sal Mineo!

When the lady ( not Arlene) said to Sal " meaning the man usually gets the Women in the end" to Sal....that was too funny, the audience got it right away, she got it a few seconds later, her reaction 😀😁😂

Sal Mineo

Sal Mineo Was a very good actor and he was in the great movie rebel without a cause but he was also in a movie about the great drummer Geene Krupa And he did play the drums in the movie and that was a very good movie to very good actor altogether

My fav no one better - gone too soon Feb 12, 1976) An angel here and in Heaven 😢

So sad the way that he died....He was more handsome as he got older....

The look on Dorothy's face at 17:57, when she clues in to her inadvertent double entendre, is priceless.

Arlene is wearing a different heart shaped necklace in this show.

Kind of bizarre that all three main actors ( Rebel Without a Cause) all had a tragic end. Sal M. was killed, J Dean died in a car crash and N Wood apparently drowned falling off the family’s yacht . All were screen legends .

Mr Mineo is certainly dark and handsome 😘 Thanks for gracing the screen and sorry for your untimely demise.

One man in the audience wolf-whistling at Sal Mineo.

Sal Mineo's parents would have made good non-celebrity guests. They made coffins for a living.

Sal is such a hearthrob

My comment below does not show how much my family enjoys seeing these people from back in the day, but I'm really glad so many of us have evolved to where we are on the side of animal rights and think that celebrating the slaughter of animals is way out of line.

WHAT A GOOD LOOKING BULLFIGHTER. I THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE MORE WHISTLES.

When I was a teenager girls thought I looked like Sal Mineo boy, did that helped to get me a girlfriend.

Dorothy: "I can only tell Sal that my little daughter considers him a leading man". BUT I DON'T!! That's what's called a backhanded compliment!

John is sure getting pretty free about giving away the whole prize of $50 whether earned or not.

ZoneFighter1, see him in "Rebel Without a Cause," and also "The Gene Krupa Story" (with the drums).

Why did this have to happen To Sal Mineo! I feel sad about.

My Gosh, im a straight man and I think I would date him..lol Handsome Dude.

Just in case anyone might think Mineo's hobby of playing the drums might be incidental to what he did, I see he later played the lead role in 'The Gene Krupa Story'!!

Sal was the best part of Rebel Without A Cause.

What a lovely looking young man Sal was. So sad that he was killed. I believe Rod Stewart's "Georgie" was based on him, is that correct?

This man was a doll!

Sal mineo was a good-looking guyI only see one movie rebel without a cause I like him in that movie but I did seen TV shows like Hawaii Five-O like you said he was a nice looking guy it is so tragic that he was murdered he was a good actor

Sal was murdered exactly 47 years ago from the day I wrote this post. The mugger / murderer served only 12 years in prison. Heck of an actor, Sal was nominated for an Academy Award at the age of 17!

😷😍😊👍👏👏🌈🌹Sal Mineo!

Awesome sal mineo i liked him as a boy

Such a beautiful person. God bless you Sal.

I'm from Pittsburgh,and if someone told me that there was a gorgeous lady bullfighter from McKeesport,I'd think that they were full of it. And apparently,I'd be wrong.

I'm reading a biography of Dorothy now ........ wow, what a fabulously successful and famous newspaperwoman she was, before this show .... who knew ?

I've seen all episodes till this date and I swear this is the 6th bull fighter, 3 of them female

00:35 The caricature of John Daly got the huge forehead spot on! Do people NOT read some of the previous comments? How many remarks do we need about Sal Mineo dying young?

Mineo was very good in Exodus. He was nominated.

Good Looking and Handsome*

LOL @ 13:37 when John's speaking, with closed caption it says "one down & nine to go Miss Frenchy".

I have always loved this show. I was very very young when it appeared on TV in the late 1950s early 60s. The one unfortunate aspect of the show is when they have comedians as guest panelists. Guys like Ernie Kovacs, Fred Allen, Groucho Marx, even Buddy Hackett used their time on the panel as if it were a one-man comic act, and not the show that. WML was meant to be.. During this show you can hear a few snide mumbled remarks from Martin Gabel about Ernie taking up so much time with his goofy behavior. ALDSO, I am sure Martin Gabel was less than thrilled that Ernie had his right arm wrapped around Arlene Frances for most of the SHOW. THE ONE COMIC who did not use his appearance on this show as a chance to do a comedy act was Steve Allen. He was able to come up with fast and funny one-liners effortlessly. Ernie Kovacs really was a comic genius. But his appearances on WML we're less than Funny. THE female bullfighter got the better of Ernie in the back and forth about Matadors tossing the hat to the crowd.

I'm working my way through all of the episodes in chronological order. Do they ever sort this out so that poor last contestant gets sufficient time and isn't rushed off after 60 seconds? I'm so distracted watching John constantly looking up at a clock or timer or something. I feel bad for that last person, going to all that trouble to appear and barely getting any air time.
