After Dorothy Kilgallen died, the program was not the same. There was so much chemistry between John, Bennett , Arlene and Dorothy. She was missed

I think Dinah Shore was beautiful and talented and so graceful such a class act 💕

Not only was it a great show, it had great guests! Just loved Dinah Shore. So talented, beautiful, and natural!

The reporter who knew too much by Mark Shaw, a must read For those of us so interested in Dorothy Kilgallen

Dorothy truly was amazing. When the first contestant came out, I was certain the panel wouldn't guess his line. Never underestimate Dorothy Kilgallen!

Dorothy's simply brilliant !

These women are so intelligent

Getting paid $750 to sit on the panel for one night a week for one hour was delicious money in 1959. One could rent a 2 bedroom apartment in Manhattan for $150/month at the time. In fact, in 2019 it's still delicious money, but went much further back then.

How sweet was that dress talk between Dorothy and Dinah while John was trying to interrupt them :) !

George Montgomery was good sport , his show had been canceled ,but the attention was on Ms. Shore and her show . At the end He and Dally looked forgotten while Kilgallen and Shore talked about the details of the dress worn earlier by Ms. Shore . I have to admire Montgomery for was with Ms. Shore at her death bed although they had long divorced and she had married and divorced another man . This after her involvement with Reynolds .

Dorothy really honed in on the hurricane man. She was the best player!

Every time I look at this actor's generation I think ....CLASS ! Amazing, natural class pouring in their talk, fashion, glamour.

This is the second week they mentioned Moss Hart's autobiography, "Act One." Hart was a brilliant playwright and director, and later the husband of Kitty Carlisle Hart. His book is wonderful: warm, loving, honest (in admitting many of his own mistakes) and with one of the happiest, most joyful endings. Cerf said they had to pull the first print draft, because the editor in charge was so fascinated by the story that many mistakes were overlooked.

Arlene did well on the money belt.

I never knew about Dorothy until Years after her death so sorry that she was killed she was so beautiful and smart , love the way she greeted the people on the show and the questions she asked

Loved Dinah when she died, although divorced, George was there with their kids.

Introduction of Arlene: she was the first female guest Tonight Show host for both Jack Paar and then in the interrum between Paar and Carson.

Dinah Shore is my favorite TV star of all time. muuwah!

Good on you Dorothy 👏 👍 👌 ✝️

Arlene looks great tanned and blonde.

Arlene is wearing her heart on a bracelet.

Love George and Dinah!!!!!

George Montgomery and Dinah Shore were adorable. Especially when they answered together❤️!

George Montgomery was the most well- equipped, talented, charming, and drop- dead handsome mati- nee idol type to never achieve super star status. (When God was handing out the large, masculine hands, HE certainly didn't overlook George Montgomery!)

Was there another hurricane hunter contestant? I thought I had left a comment a few years ago. Anyway, a big "bravo" to the pilots who risked their lives in order to track these storms so that the public on land could be better prepared. Before weather satellites, they had to do it the hard way. And this is not ancient history, at least to me; I was a young boy when this aired originally.

Himicane. Bennet Cerf: Granddaddy of Dad Humor.

I absolutley adored Dinah as a kid and early teenager. No woman since her has had the class she portrayed on the air. Now, as an adult, I can see why I liked her so much then. I like her now too. I only hope she was as nice in person as she was on the air. Unfortunately, too many stars are not.

Even though they were divorced for a long time I read George and their children were with Dinah when she passed.

Dinah sounds just like June Foray, who was the voice of Rocky the flying squirrel. If I close my eyes, I can hear Rocky's voice when Dinah speaks.

Dinah Shore -- a talent worth its weight in platinum. She hosted one of the best variety shows -- ever. As alluded to in this clip, it was one of the first NBC variety shows to broadcast regularly in color. It is a shame WML and CBS did not go to color earlier.

The name Arlene was used for a tropical storm the most times than any other name.

One time Montgomery was on Dinah's talk show and he was correcting her like she was stupid he was almost angry with her (They had been Divorced ) I thought what the hell's wrong with him ? So after the commercial he redeemed him self by apologizing to the audience. I thought good for him, he learned his lesson.

Mort Sahl looks like he could use a decent meal.

I remember when Burt Reynolds was dating Dinah Shore..

My parents had a large collection of Mort sahl albums

Mort Dahl had a hard time formulating a sentence. this isn’t his best day.🙁

True movie stars.

Mort Sahl sounds like he's doing stand up on the panel. And it got annoying after 1 1/2 seconds

Wow…George Montgomery was a hunk

Surprised Bennet went for the himicaine dad joke

This Naval aviator flew a Lockheed C-121 super connie, kool!

I remember Montgomery belittling her on her show and I didn't like that, but after the commercial he apologized . So I didn't hate him as much. He thought he was at home apparently ?

unusual for daly to give a clue as he did with the money belt.

It is great to see Dorothy so happy! Dinah and George must have been very good friends with her. And she was her brilliant self again with that naval aviator.

Notice how Mort Sahl in the moneybelt segment gets befuddled and had to pass sayimg at 12:22 "It's my own intellect. It's my downfall." Boy, someone had a high opinion of themselves!

Even the contestants look and dress like stars. You don’t see that anymore.

Dorothy was so darn smart with getting the answer correct with that Commander. I bet her I.Q. was in the 140 to 150 range ? Anyone know ? She would have been a great detective for the police.

In 1959 "Arlene" only reached tropical storm status, not a hurricane

I love Mort Sahl. He has a great smile.

The book Act One that Dinah mentions - if you want to fall in love with writing a Broadway play - or if you are interested in how something gets staged - it's brilliant. I read it every time I produce a new play written by me - 11 so far.

It seems like they all were at one time or another zinging Kilgallen over how much money she had.

Must be my background but I can guess right the year by the female panellist’s hairstyles

I'm just wondering but what is Dorothy's IQ ? because she is really smart.

"see the usa in your chevrolet" and i do --- liked Dinah, idivorce is sad - she had affair with frank sinatra early

Mort Sahl was married to a Chinese woman who was the first Chinese to be in a Playboy magazine. Yes! I am a baby boomer! She was literally a work of art. There was such a thing as nudity with class in those days. 1946 til 1964 The boomer generation was born at that time.

Hmm, I learned something, hurricanes haven't always been give male and female names.

Hurricane hunters are in Biloxi, Mississippi, now.

I think the Dodgers won the world series that year against the White Sox.

John Daly mentions in passing that Mort Sahl has been on WML (as a guest panelist, he infers) before this show. What show was this and why isn't it on You Tube?

*_Hurricane Hunter (U.S. Naval Flier)_* *_Sells Money Belts_*

omg George Montgomery is such a babe. Dinah was a lucky woman :)

Mort Sahl is still alive. But I had never heard about him before.

At the end of the show, Bennett asks how can a team score only one run on twelve hits. He was talking about Game 3 of the World Series and the exercise in futility by the Chicago White Sox in that game. They outhit the Dodgers 12 to 5 that day, but lost 3-1. (Earlier, it was mentioned that the Dodgers might need money belts the way things were going. They took the lead in the Series with the win this day.) The White Sox were not known for their offense. But they also were not known for squandering opportunities. They played small ball before the term was introduced. They were known as the "Go Go Sox". Led by Luis Aparicio who stole over 50 bases for the first time in his career (it was his fourth season, and he led the American League in steals in each of his first 9 seasons), they had dethroned the Yankees that year and had the best record in baseball during the regular season. But led by Ted Kluszewski in Game 1, the White Sox had flexed their muscles with an 11-0 victory and had been leading in Game 2 until Dodger bats woke up and eked out a 5-4 win. Now they were seeing the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum's lopsided baseball configuration for the first time, with left field's forty foot high screen only a hair over 250 feet away down the line. It was the first World Series game played on the West Coast and the first of only three (all in 1959) played before over 90,000 fans. Perhaps the Sox were affected adversely by all this. They were facing a tall, sidearming right-hander and future Hall of Fame member, Don Drysdale. He was only 23 years old but was already the ace of the staff, leading the team with 17 wins. He didn't start until Game 3 because of the tight NL pennant race and the two game playoff the Dodgers needed to win against the Braves. But it worked out well because he was especially tough on the right-hand batters who would be aiming at the left field fence. In addition to 12 hits (all singles), four Chicago batters walked and one was hit by a pitch. But Al Smith would hit into two double plays and three Sox base runners were gunned down on steal attempts. In the first inning, they loaded the bases with one out, but Sherm Lollar fouled out to third and Billy Goodman grounded out to first. In the second inning, Jim Rivera walked but was caught stealing. Then after the opposing pitcher, Dick Donovan, singled and Aparicio walked, Nellie Fox grounded out to end the inning. In the third, the Sox had back to back singles with two out, but Smith struck out. In the fourth inning, Aparicio was thrown out stealing and in the fifth Johnny Roseboro made Fox pay for his attempted larceny. In the sixth, Smith snuffed out a base runner with the first of his two double plays. In the seventh, the Sox again had two singles after two were out, but Jim Landis struck out and stranded them. Meanwhile Donovan was cruising along, having allowed only one base runner and faced the minimum 18 batters through 6 innings. (Gil Hodges had singled in the second, but was erased when Don Demeter grounded into a DP.) A journeyman until finding a home in the Sox starting rotation in 1955, Donovan struggled with injuries in the early going in 1959 and was only 9-10 during the regular season, his worst for Chicago. But he had the Dodgers eating out of his hand until one out in the seventh when Charlie Neal singled. After Wally Moon moved him to second with a ground ball to the right side of the infield, Donovan inexplicably lost his control, walking Norm Larker and Hodges. Al Lopez brought in Gerry Staley in relief and Walt Alston countered by sending up veteran Carl Furillo to bat for Demeter. It was a familiar match up as Staley had pitched in the National League from 1947-55, seven of those years as a starter, and Furillo was a mainstay of the Dodger lineup all those years. Staley was a sinker ball pitcher and he induced a ground ball from Furillo, but it found its way into center field and the Dodgers led 2-0. (Ironically Donovan relieved in Game 5 in the identical situation and got Furillo to pop out to preserve a 1-0 Sox win. But the Dodgers would win the Series in Game 6.) The Sox loaded the bases again in the eighth. Kluszewski and Lollar started the inning with singles and drove Drysdale for cover. Alston brought in his hot hand, rookie Larry Sherry, but he hit Goodman to fill the sacks. Chicago finally scored when Smith hit into his second DP, but Rivera's pop up to Roseboro stranded the tying run at third. The Dodgers got the run back in their half of the inning when Maury Wills led off with a single, moved to second on Sherry's bunt and scored on Neal's double. Sherry then struck out the side in the top of the ninth around Fox's single for the Sox' 12th and final hit. And that's how you score only one run on 12 hits, 4 walks and an HBP.

PPL constantly interrupting Dinah Shore

2:05: Serf introduces "John Charles *abu-ben-adam* Daley" --- very interesting; not quite sure what to make of that

With a face like Mort’s he must have been a last minute emergency! I doubt he’ll ever be ever be on again!

Why does Dorothy always go out turn. She yelled out the mystery guests.

Since, as I understand it, they all spent time conversing backstage after the show, I found Dorothy asking any guest or mystery guest about their clothes while a part of the program to be r as ther tacky. Do not remember Atlene doing that.

Surf did not ever one time just call him John Daly 🤔

The Money belt lady is HOT!

Not a fan of Mort Sal's tendency of offering answers to his own questions. He seems like able enough.

At 11:18 the 2nd contestant Mrs. Mann takes a sip of water . This is the first time i have seen this on WML . I wonder if they had water just in case and if someone changed glasses off camera in between contestants ?

Worn by a girl or man! That’s a no/no in these days.

This guy Mort Sahl was appsolutely "TERRIBLE ".

Im old fashioned. Divorce sucks

George Montgomery was a very multi-talented fellow. Actor, painter, director, producer, writer, sculptor, furniture craftsman, and stuntman. He & Shore were divorced just 4 years after this show. Mort Sahl couldn't decide if he was there to help the panel discover the contestant's "line" or to provide entertainment. He failed on both counts. Another comedian who was either a bore, an adolescent showoff or totally unfunny without a script.

I couldn't stand hated Dinah Shore!!!

I thought Dinah Shore's show came out of Hollywood.

I like Mort Sahl well enough, but he isn't much of a game player.

I’ve never seen a man bat his eyes as much as Mr Daly. Goodness. It’s almost annoying.

Mort Sahl was a lousy panelist.

After having watched all the episodes and seasons in chronological order multiple times, this is one of the years I got so weary of the bullying behavior to John Daly for a couple of seasons. Took away much of the enjoyment for me.

Bennet has my Pappy's old humor 😅 Corny.

I don't find Montgomery the least bit handsome. Particularly if he was a jerk of a husband.

cheating

The name "Arlene" will return for the 2017 North Atlantic Season.
