John Daly-such an example of elegant, precise, nuanced speech. Hilarious guy!

Finally it's my turn to say "This episode aired two days before I was born."

It’s terrible what happened to Dorothy she was so talented and beautiful. She should have still been alive today albeit an old lady.

I knew it was Buddy Hackett after the first three words as they did. Everyone was just playing along.

I like Dorothy's soft and fluffy more natural hair here. I see people complaining about her looking unkempt, but actually it's nice not to see her trying to be lacquered with hairspray, so I think she looks quite nice here.

Buddy Hackett, you can't disguise that voice. The panel had it right away and strung it out for some entertainment.

Around 25:00 -- one of the few times that Arlene's radio show station and time got mentioned in the history of the program. I was always surprised that the announcer did not say of Arlene "the delightful star of stage, radio, and television"

Miss Hewson was, in fact, a Cornell graduate (1955), in Food & Nutrition. The official title at Appian Way appears to have been home economist, which, whatever, it's better than Pizza Tester. She eventually got married (in 1976) to someone else who went to Cornell, though I'm starting to think they met in Worcester. (Where he worked in insurance.) Anyway, her husband (Louis Mason) retired in 1983, and they moved to Ogunquit (or York) Maine, where Mrs. Mason apparently still serves on a bunch of low-level art-oriented town committees (even though she's in her 80s), and wrote a food column in the local paper. (Louis died in 2009.)

Buddy Hackett was a smart fellow and a great comedian. Total pleasure to see him here..

Major White lived a long life, dying in 2010 at the age of 85. Mr. Walker, on the other hand, was killed in 1966 after a mid-air collision between his F-104 and an XB-70 (US experimental supersonic bomber) during an unauthorized flight for publicity photos. There is absolutely such a thing as bad publicity.

Arlene Francis's radio broadcasting career started on WOR AM Radio New York at this period of time. It lasted clear into the late 1980s. Eventually she became a correspondent for NBC Radio Monitor c 1964-1975.

The audience was always giving it away.

Major White was on the cover of Life magazine in the same issue that contains Marilyn Monroe's final interview; the issue was on newsstands at the time MM died.

YESSSSSSS! Daly couldn't top Bennett's goodbye at the end.He got 'im!!

Pizza tester, hmmm, makes it fun to see the panel try to guess this one. The audience reaction is priceless.

Dorothy's hair for once looks great. Casual, a little messy, kind of Italian cut.

The beautiful Arlene's eyebrows look odd in this episode. I do love watching these old shows so much. Better than anything on TV today.

My favorite of Dorothy's hairstyles was in the 50's when all of her curls were turned into her face. She looked like Betty Boop :)

"The Appian Way Pizza Company" brings back memories. When I was a did, my mom would buy that brand of "pizza in a box". It came with a package of dough mix to which you added water (flour, instant yeast, salt, other ingredients), a can of tomato-based pizza sauce to spread on the dough once you'd pressed and patted the dough onto a pan, stretching it from edge to edge, and a little can of grated cheese to sprinkle over the sauce. Then you'd bake it in a hot oven and pretend it resembled pizza. It was pretty bad. I didn't know Appian Way also made frozen pizzas.

perspicacious? Man, John had such a great word knowledge.

That was the slimmest pizza tester I think. I guess she only got to take a bite. Like the wine taster. Lol!

Two guests whose lines related to the space program. Makes me snap back to the panel to in take in Arlene Francis's eyebrows. Message to her make-up artist. What were you thinking? You gave her eyebrows that are both ready for take off flying away into outer space!

Pizzas were not as ubiquitous then as now. My parents were invited to a pizza party, they went out to dinner first as they thought pizza pies were a desert :)

The pizza questions were fun.

Miss Hesson looks pretty healthy for a pizza tester. Lol!

I read the military pilots got astronaut status if they went high enough. The civilians got recognition much much later... like 35 years. This was the precursor to the Space Shuttles.

At 5:54, Alan King jokingly asks if the contestants were the veterinarians for the Russian dogs. He was referring to the fact that the Russians were sending dogs into space as part of their space program. The first animal to orbit the earth was Laika in 1957; she died in space. King's quip was probably based on news that was quite recent at the time: a little over 3 weeks before this episode, two Russian dogs -- Bars and Lisichka -- died when the rocket that was to carry them into space exploded shortly after launch. Under the circumstances, King's joke was, IMO, in very bad taste. The laughter it got, especially from John Daly, is hard to fathom.

Joseph A Walker was killed on June 8, 1966, when his F-104 Starfighter chase aircraft collided with a North American XB-70 Valkyrie. He was 45. Robert White died on March 17, 2010, at the age of 85.

It's interesting how when Walter Brennan disguised his voice on an earlier show by speaking with an Asian accent some people commented it was racist, but when Buddy Hackett speaks with a Spanish accent nobody made any comments about it. I don't care one way or the other.........it's nothing more than an observation.

Buddy Hacket't's Chinese character was ripped off by Benny Hill who saw buddy perform it in nightclubs and because Hacket was unknown at the time in the UK Benny was able to take the character tweak it and make it his own. Hackett was quite pissed off about it because it meant that he couldn't use his China man character in his shows in the UK because he would be thought of as copying it from Hill

Not sure what's happening at 25:53 but it either looks like a camera or a plant on the right side...

She's certainly slim for a pizza tester. Most guests and panelists were in those days.

I don't know Mr. Daily, some fancy restaurants take great pride in how their pizza looks.

It does have meat products on it sometimes.

Dorothy looks kind of rough here. Don't know if it's the hairstyle, but she looks aged in this episode.

I wonder if the pizza maker lady had something wrong with her hand burned it or something? I noticed how she was holding her arm to her side and the shape of her hand. Everyone is noticing deformities in this episode so it might be my imagination

X-15 ROCKET PLANE TEST PILOTS PIZZA PIE TESTER

My word, so embarrassing for John Daly that he doesn't know that vegetables are alive. The question was asked was the product ever alive and John Daly says no. Haha haha

Uyyyy está afiliado cuidense 😂 It could be in the meat family...... Toppings....... OH ITS CLEARLY MARILYN MONROE 😂

John Daly is such a liar. I heard the woman say under her breath to John, " what about the meat?" and John sat right there and told Dorothy there was no meat in this product. And then he said that nothing was alive in it or derived from anything alive and that you would never see it walking around. Bold-faced lie. The last time I checked a cow or a pig walks around and a tomato is a fruit and it is alive. I can't stand cheaters. That's the quickest way to make me stop playing a game with someone, is if they cheat because that just takes all the fun out of it.

"We can team up and go both ways either one of us." That's a line that would have gotten a lot of filthy laughs from a modern-day audience.

I don't know why they asked the men and women question. John let the man who sold false eyelashes say both sexes use them. Which they DO.

Buddy didn't do a good job disguising his voice. Wish I could have seen it play out without that tipoff.

This is the second episode in which Bennett has referred to a "Pizza" ...as a "Pittsa". WTF??

No, don't tell me. Both Arlene and Dorothy seem to have gained some weight this evening. Bet they will have lost it by the next episode.

Arlene's eyebrows...yikes.

Arlene's eyebrows make her look like a Klingon. Too bad her ears aren't showing.

😊 John Daly talks way too much and doesn't know when to be quiet and let the test pilots speak on their own behalf, about their own jobs and duties, instead of John yammering on and on.

Vain, hair-dyed cerf digs at excellent mc Daly once again. cerf must really be threatened by him.

Buddy Hackett can't spell. Rather ruined the gag.

Does anybody else notice Dorothy's unkempt hair? Her hair normally looks like she just left the beauty parlor, but in this show It looks like she just rolled out of bed.
