I would watch Phyllis Diller just to hear her laugh. You couldn't hear Phyllis Diller laugh without cracking up yourself. She had the best laugh in the world!

So wonderful. There'll never by another Phyllis.

Superstar , icon , Woman of the ages ! The fantastic Phyllis Diller..She was sensational... rest in peace beautiful lady you were special in so many ways !

Isn't it nice to watch people beautifully dressed, with good manners, conversing intelligently and humorously without resorting to smut?

Most people don't know that in addition to being a comedian she was a phenomenal classical trained concert pianist.

So nice of Bennet to get up and help Phyllis with her coat.

what a contagious laugh Phyllis Diller had! ! ! lovely lady :-)

LOVE Arlene the way she squealed when asking Phyllis Diller questions cracked me up!

Phyllis Diller lit up the show like a 100 watt lightbulb.

I went to a night club just to see Phyllis. Small place. And wow!!! She had all of us on the floor laughing!! I had a side ache, and couldn't catch my breath!!!!!

Funny, that just 4 years prior to this show, Phyllis was an unknown contestant on Groucho's "You Bet Your Life". By 1963, her career skyrocketed right to the very top! What a great era of elegance and class this was!

Phyllis Diller tried so hard not to burst into her trademark laugh. She was successful.

Awww, Mr. Cerf is quite the gentleman

Ps. The amazing Phillis Diller passed away only a year after Jeno Paulucci (last guest). He was aged 93 (2011), while Diller was 95 (2012). *Pretty cool to now know that these two successful guests, of only a year apart in age, would be the last ones standing, so to speak.* Both reaching the American Dream with hard work, determination, goodness within, and family/children that loved them dearly. Legends in their chosen careers. :)

The final guest Jeno Palucci, the founder of Chun King (which was bought out by Hunt-Wesson in 1995) is also the "Jeno" of Jeno's Pizza Rolls.

Phyliss Diller is exactly as my grandmother was when I was a kid.

How could anyone not love Phyllis Diller?

"Really? Bottled water?" Little do they know, lol.

Two absolute staples of 1960's (and early 70's) television - especially game shows. Phyllis Diller & Geritol. They were all over US TV back then.

People here have correctly noted Phyllis' talent, courage and trailblazing status. But one thing I particularly admire about her was her genuine self-deprecation. So many celebrities when interviewed talk only about how great they are and superficial issues. I once saw Phyllis describe an early USO tour that she took with Bob Hope. In addition to performing on stage for servicemen, the trip included visiting wounded soldiers in an Army hospital. Hope and Diller went into the hospital and Phyllis saw a young soldier who had had half his face blown off. She was horrified and her facial expression showed it. Afterward, when they left the hospital, Hope told Phyllis off. "We go into these hospitals to take these soldiers' minds off their problems for a little while. The last thing we ever want to do is to remind them of their problems. Don't you ever do that again!" Phyllis said she never forgot that. I think her telling a story on national TV about herself and making someone feel bad and learning from the experience and becoming a better person reflected very well on her. I don't think too many other celebrities would tell a story about themselves that put them in a bad light, being correctly criticized for not acting appropriately and learning from their mistake.

Shelley: “Look, I’ll just take no for an answer.” funny

Phyllis Diller was a brave woman to tackle comedy in what was predominately a man's world. Every female comedian today thanks her for her courage.

I watched Diller's TV sitcom and I remember her 1970's TV ads of "Salvo" detergent in the form of a round disk, about the size of a hockey puck.One per laundry, they dissolved in the water like Alka Seltzer, as the water was filling the washer.My mom used it sometimes.Diller's stand up comedy was so funny.I always wondered why she called her husband 'Fang'.She was funny on Hollywood Squares game show, too.

I love this. Diller and Paulucci were both a big part of my childhood. I watched Diller on TV at every opportunity. Sometimes I had Jeno's Pizza Rolls on a plate in my lap while watching Diller! My mom and I still eat Chun King Chow Mein for supper!

I didn't even know bottle water existed way back then. Also, the manners of these people are so wonderful, I know I'm learning something from them.

Shelley is great - handling himself nervously but well.

Shelly Berman was an excellent panelist.

When Phyllis Diller came in with her coat on, I always have wondered if she was the "showed up with a minute to spare" mystery guest that John Daly talks about in the last CBS broadcast.

Watching this exactly 60 years after this aired, I was 1 year old just short of my 2nd Birthday the following month, March 25th. which means now, next month March 25th, I'll be 62. I really enjoy watching these. 😁

I was a young child at the time this show aired. I never liked sodas, and when I went to the movies and bought a snack (later in the decade) I wanted water to drink with it, but the only way to get it was to pay full price for an empty cup and fill it at a water fountain! So I was very happy when small bottles of water becamea available years later.

We had bottled water in our home back in the 60's. Sparklets was a big spring water company in Southern California.

Phyllis Diller seemed to have so much fun.

I've been watching tons of WML episodes over the past week or so, and have enjoyed them immensely! I have slight recollections of the show as a young child (more so of TTTT w/Garry Moore). Thank you very much for bringing these great shows back to life!

After seeing Phyllis on my recommendation I knew I had to watch, not only are her jokes funny but that laugh is priceless

Love P.D.!!! I just did a search for P.D. stand-up. Fifty minutes of side-splitting jokes. I had to pause after every 10 minutes to get composed again. I love her self-deprecating humor. The best jokes...her finger massaging girdle with arthritis and when she tells the joke about applying moisturizer and after the punch line does a curtsy.

It must have been hard for Phyllis to stifle her famous laugh!

Phyllis Diller was amazing... such a great laugh...

Last contestant ceated Chun King Chinese prepared foods and sold it for 63 milliondollars. He made the hugely popular Jeno's Pizza Rolls and his greatest regret was that he had sold them to Pillsbury. He realized that Jeno's Pizza Rolls would be around forever and they have been. He diied with hundred of millions and a brief appearance on What's My Line.

Phyllis Diller was the Minnie Pearl of Slick Street.

Phyllis Diller first show she was ever on was You Bet Your Life...

Shelley Berman was so much better here than when he first appeared on the panel! So much more relaxed.

Two of my favorite ladies from the 60's....Arlene Francis and Phyllis Diller!!

One episode about pancakes, this one Chinese food, no wonder I get the midnight munchies, but it's worth it, cause watching these episodes before bed is very relaxing and helps me sleep better.

Just love Phyllis Diller! What an infectious laugh! 🤣😂

Truly horrified by Dorothy's skeletal appearance :-(

Love Phyllis....and her laugh!

Phyllis Diller wrote some hilariously entertaining books too!

EVERYONE HAD CLASS

Phyllis is wonderful!

Did you notice how Bennett Cerf picked up Mrs. Dillers' coat and helped her on with it? People used to have manners and be considerate of others. Things weren't perfect back in the day by any means but some things WERE better.

oh to have been dinner party guest with these people!

Just finished Dorothy's Bio, it was quite sad & seeing her on this show scary skinny gives cadence to the Bio.

Phyllis Diller ,won the true greats of women comedians, a true pioneer, she would always leave me in stitches and smiling

Little did they know that 50 years after this, bottled water would become the #1 selling beverage.

Great episode all around! I just read that, only three years after this episode, Mr. Paulucci sold Chun King to RJ Reynolds for $63 million!

Everybody is surprised about bottled water. No one ever bought bottle before the 19 90's or later. I'm still amazed people pay for water.

In the first 18 live broadcasts and taping sessions of 1963, Dorothy Kilgallen attend 8 and missed 10. Berman appeared on the panel fairly regularly in 1960 - 61. This is the first time that Berman appeared on the panel since his memorable laughing fit during the appearance of the Rocking Chair manufacturer contestant in mid 1961.

Lugino,'Jeno', Francesco Paulucci, 8/5/1918-11/24/2011, started over 70 companies, including Bellisio Foods and Chung King.

Wow Dorothy has never been soooo skinny I love her dearly but she’s resembling olive oil here wow

A Star!

Wow, this smart panel was stumped by the first challenger! This must be because the product was considered unusual back in 1963 and nowhere near as pervasive as it is today.

I think I remember the TV ads. Chung King makes Chinese food! Swing , American!

Bottled water has caught on a bit more since then. Ha. And Phyllis Diller before wigs and diamond bracelets, which became signature to her.

Bennett Surf - what a classy gentleman - none like him any more.

Diller was adored.

I FIRST STARTED WATCHING THE SHOW DURING THE EARLY SIXTES. WOULD AIR ON SUNDAY NIGHT. DID NOT KNOW THAT THE SHOW HAD BEEN GOING SINCE THE FIFTIES.

She didn't have to be filthy. She didn't have to be angry. She didn't have to be antimale. Yet the funniest woman ever!

When John says its so many down and so many to go, does Bennett not know that means a NO answer?

This is such a treat!!

"Do you appear with seom degree of regularity on television?" Answer: "Yes, especially after I eat a bowl of prunes."

Phyllis Diller. Wow. First appearance. Her next appearance in 1964 was beyond funny. What a great chivalric moment when Bennett helps her on with that fur.

Phyllis Diller was always a lot of fun, even when she wasn't hilarious (which she was most of the time). Call me weird, but I never thought she was all that bad looking (certainly she was no Carol Burnett) and she played up her anti-Zsa Zsa look to great success.

Bottled water was a real high tone treat up, I'd say, until 30 years ago. Today, any fellow can slug it down like nickel beer. Back in 1963 it was considered somewhat chichi.

Awww. I missed Arlene in Louisville kentucky. (I was one).

Man, after seeing Jeno Paulucci, I'd love some Chun King Chow Mein right now!

Shelly gets a farewell kiss as a long time fellow comedian, Dorothy gets a kiss for being a major fan.

Shelley Berman. Larry David's TV dad!

Dorothy says to the last contestant "I'm not very big in supermarkets". MY GOD...Can you imaging Dorothy feeling the fruits and hoisting up a six pack? And then wheeling her cart home on Fifth Avenue? Oh, dear!

Tonight's show was taped on Jan. 20; Dorothy won't actually be back until the March 3 show.

The pioneer of women comedians.

Dorothy looks so thin.

The shocked looks on their faces when they find out his line is "bottled water"!!

Shelley Berman is absolutely adorable, why is Dorothy so skinny? Mr Rockefeller is a cutie too. And im actually surprised water of all things puzzled them so. I love how they advertise for everyone who comes on the show regardless of what they do for a living. And that pool instructor is so serious! I havent seen any guests that serious. I also think its cool the last guy owns a company theyre all familiar with and you can hear Arlene compliment his company's commercials. Its hard to make out exactly what Shelley is saying but hes complimenting the company as well. +What's My Line? 15:51 Im surprised you didnt put that into the bloopers

56 years ago on January 25, 1964 Nike was founded as Blue Ribbon Sports and is headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon.

John called Shelley Berman "Shirley" on the very first question. Shades of Leslie Nielsen in Airplane! ("And don't call me Shirley!"

Jeno Paulucci.. the founder of Chun King Chinese food has a wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeno_Paulucci and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chun_King

Phyllis Diller was one heck of a funny lady.

So fun to watch 'Bottled Water' because of pollutants just starting to be an issue seem such a foreign concept to the panel and audience. My how times change.

Phyllis Diller was one of a kind! Always enjoyed her

As scary skinny as Dorothy is here, there are celebs today who are just as emaciated. And think they look good.

Every where now !

During introductions Arlene had to do Dorothy's job and mention Shelley Berman's coming engagement.

PETA would have a fit over Diller's mink coat.

Wow, now that shows that times have changed. The question was asked if a woman might wear something other than a street dress while "teaching billiards" to (what appears to be female) adults and children, and she said No. Who today in Oregon would teach billiards in a skirt or a dress?

Love Arlene's dress!

Amazing to find out when bottled water was still a novelty!

The last guy, Jeno, quickly built a multi-million dollar empire with Chun-King after borrowing $2500 to start the business. *Four years after this broadcast he sold Chun King for $64 million in 1967 (a massive amount in that year).* He later founded Jeno's for pizza, and he invented "pizza rolls" (selling to Pillsbury) then started Luigino's Michelina brand Italian frozen foods. All that after simply starting as a grocery salesperson with an American dream...to market chop suey & other ethic foods. His devoted parents immigrated from a village in Italy where he gave back financially. In fact, he was a big philanthropist, giving much to charities and those in need. *He was married to his wife, Lois, for 64 years and died brokenhearted just 4 days AFTER she died.* Pres. Ford honored Jeno Paulucci and referred to him as a symbol of "the Magic of America", as his parents were poor, Italian immigrants to start. THAT is how *capitalism creates the American dream for so many.* Why do so many young people today (mostly American nationals) want to destroy their amazing opportunity and become socialist? Perhaps comfy lives and ignorance are primarily to blame...with a hint of progressive BS flung at them via well-produced entertainment and media sound bites. I'm a social liberal (marry who you want, eat/drink/smoke what you want, "do yer own thang!", etc.), but would never imagine giving up my ability to achieve the American dream and suffer horribly like poor Venezuelans do now. Their young adults think we are foolish to even think about making the same mistake: Don't just take my word for it. *See their devastation story here if you want: www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2016-06-06/socialism-is-devastating-venezuela-and-americans-dont-seem-to-notice

Well how gallant is Bennett?

Phyllis Diller makes me laugh just with her facial expressions. How come she wasn’t an official member of The Rat Pack as a mascot?

It was so elegant the way Mr. Daly said "Mrs. McCabe is certainly the expert here, but the average person may think -a billiard- ball could be smaller than a tennis ball." Most people nowadays would have simply contradicted their guest.
