Always thought Eva was the prettiest Gabor gal

Eva seems more intelligent and natural than her sister Zsa Zsa! More likeable, too, imo.

The more I watch WML, the more impressed I am with John D. He is quick and smart, but also so good with people, especially the children who guest on the show.

I recently read about a story Backus liked to tell. He was working with Marilyn Monroe on a film. One day, she beckoned to him to come into her dressing room. Once there, she backed him into a corner, and said: "Do Mr. Magoo!"

RIP Joey Alfidi: May 28, 1949 - February 2, 2015

Amazingly Eva only got more beautiful as time went by. Delightful!

Joseph Alfidi (May 28, 1949 - February 2, 2015) He was an American pianist, composer, and conductor

Wow! I'm impressed with that boy's tranquil composure and self-confidence.

Rock and roll was here to stay!

Eva was the talented Gabor!

RIP Eva Gabor. Long overdue condolences to the family :-(

I'm such a fan of seeing young conductors, as it's not the most common thing in the profession. I just read that Joey Alfidi passed away in 2015 at 66 years old. He went on to become a composer, along with his conducting and instrumental playing work. I'm sure he left a legacy that will, hopefully, be remembered for a long time.

A "bittle" later in the show. Ha, ha. John Charles Daly creates a personal portmanteau word: bit + little = bittle. How I loved the original WML! Look at the glamorous cocktail dresses on Dorothy and Arlene!

Loved Eva as the voice of Miss Bianca in The Rescuers

That boy had a great head of hair.

Oh I just love her. Her voice is so wonderful. All I think of is Duchess from the Aristocats or Bianca from the Rescuers tho.

If I were to go back in time I would LOVE to meet Eva Gabor. She has a very beautiful voice playing in roles such as Duchess in The Aristocats & Miss. Bianca in The Rescuers.

My mother always wanted me to play piano like Joey Alfidi. He was born in Yonkers, NY like I was. He was two years older than I. He faded from prominence after his childhood, but took on the career of piano teacher in Belgium. Unfortunately, he died six years ago, in 2015, in Belgium.

An interesting twist of fate is that 8 years after this program John Daly appeared in the very first episode of the Green Acres TV show which of course starred Eva Gabor.

Eva Gabor was his landlady! On another show in the 60s Jim Bacchus was on with George Hamilton as the mystery guest who was also his landlord at the time. Coincidence!

I was all of 8 months old. These are priceless episodes.

Love what my line. It was interesting to learn that the panel had to keep up to date on all new movies and shows. They often had guest as part of a show’s promotion.

Eva Gabor 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I was less than a year old when this episode was shown. I sure love this show as I discovered it. My late sister (recently passed) and I used to watch it together.

Eva Gabor....Wow..🙂!!

Lothar P Quitschorra was born on June 18, 1926. He died on May 24, 2005 at age 78. We know that Lothar P Quitschorra had been residing in Houston, Harris County, Texas.

When John Charles Daly let out with a big laugh, as at 4:36, he sounded a lot like Johnny Carson.

Handsome kid. He'll break a few hearts when he grows up!

Of all the people I would have expected to still be alive, it would have been the kid conductor, but he died two years ago.

So many of the celebrity women used the Gabor accent to disguise their voices, she could have thrown hem by talking naturally

My, but werent the ladies glamorous! I wish it was in color!

I am sure Joey changed his mind about Rock n Roll.

Beautiful Eva Gabor

Eva was the more studist of the three sister. Her sister Magda worked for the Hungarian underground, Zsa Zsa was the attention grabber and Eva as a young girl was so frightened of her father she would hide under the piano. She certainly was much more of an introvert than Zsa Zsa! You never saw her on two many talk shows.

I turned 5 the day before this episode. Apparently I was still a bit too young to be invited to appear on WML as a challenger.

Cerf always wants to talk more than the mystery guest after they are revealed. Ham

Thank you for putting the dates on your WML videos!!

In the future: 1965 to be exact -- both Eva and Jim would star in CBS sitcoms. "Green Acres" "Gilligan's Island." Eva's sister Zsa Zsa would show up on "Gilligan's Island" as an shipwrecked heiress Skipper: "Oh Mrs Erica Tiffany Smith, you are so beautiful, you remind me of a poem."

Was 11 months old at time of this show

I am surprised that Eva did not wake up all the dogs in the neighborhood with her replies. I nearly jumped out of my chair when I first heard it :)

Eva Gabor was way classier than Zsa Zsa. The "hand-painted diapers" lady was always going to win her $50.

Once again the most fun occupation is put in last without enough time to enjoy it.

Amazing how Bennett solved the mystery guest!

How could anyone ever guess hand-painted diapers?!

Bennett: What do you think of rock n' roll? Joey: I don't like it. Bennett: Good for you! 10:20

There is no doubt that the signature at 16.47 shows a person who has high intelligence, artistic qualities, is quick thinking, and has great confidence.

Love the side eye glance as usual from Dorothy and Arlene as she leaves

Except for the "ö", Daly got impressively close to pronouncing PudelSchönheitsMeister correctly..

Arlene to Joey Alfidi: Are you the little boy that wears the Fauntleroy suit? 9:15 Arlene may have thought it was Piero Gamba from Italy, another child conductor, but he was 21 years in 1957 and I don't think he wore the suit then. :)

Eleven days after I was born!

RIP Zsa Zsa.

Whoa John almost missed to give a no.. 08:40

WML should have used Jim Backus more often. Does a gambit well.

Having performed in choirs etc, it's amazing how he conducted at that age.. what fun to watch..

Joey Alfidi...He died on 2 February 2015, at the age of 65

Bennett's hair appears darker than before. Dorothy's hair is shiny. Maybe they received free Helene Curtis products... Fort Worth: my town for nearly 30 years. Houston: my town for 22 years. Yee-haw!!

The women panelists and contestants dressed in their nice shoulders out attire, , but the men had on long sleeve shirts, tied, jackets, sometimes a vest and undershirts year round, no wonder they looked like they were hot in the warmer months sometimes. I wonder if the women were cold sometimes in the winter months because they would sport a shawl or shoulder throw sometimes. Maybe they had good AC and heating in the studio. They all look quite handsome though and Miss Frances and Mr. Gobel are a very handsome couple here as well. Whom ever did the makeup for everybody did a very good job.

The term "by force of habit" must have been coined by John Daly. Even when the panel is masked he always covers his face when in a conference with the MG.

"What do you do for a living, sir?" "PUDELSCHOENHEITSMEISTER!"

This was a lot of fun. Thank you +What's My Line. For more fun try saying pudelschauenheitsmeister real fast three times. ;^)

John is on the ball. From the dictionary..."move-about. Verb. (intransitive) To move from place to place."

Missa magloo!

Jim Backus has always looked old to me. He's only 44 in this episode and he still looks old.

Funny how the little dude thought about rock 'n roll the way I feel about rap "music" now - I guess it was analogous (although I don't think rap is ever going to go down as being as musically classic as rock 'n roll - that's my own viewpoint anyway :-)

Hand painted diapers -now I’ve heard everything. 😂 Bennett: Is it a member of the diaper family? 😂

I am forced to admit that, although I thought I would be happy that Ernie Kovacs was gone, I actually missed him here. The show is simply not as entertaining without a real comedian as the fourth panelist. The three regulars are all appealing and witty, but not laugh-out-loud hilarious like Fred Allen or Ernie. I guess the search goes on here for panelist #4.

It's tough to guess a profession that you would have trouble imagining even existing. That's why I think the panel had trouble identifying the woman who hand-painted diapers. On the other hand there are some websites up advertising this type of product these days.

Aha, Women wore 'unmentionables', back then. Interesting term. They went to the department store and asked where is your , ' unmentionables' Isle!

So funny to see the exaggerated simpering by the "bombshell" actresses. They seem to have all borrowed the mannerisms of their leader, Marilyn Monroe.

Joseph Alfidi Born May 28, 1949 in Yonkers, New York, USA Died February 2, 2015 in Brussels, Belgium

The singing voice was deceiving also because you don't hear an accent in the singing voice.

I cringe when Bennett asks Joey if he likes rock n roll and Bennett is so happy when Joey responds NO. As the 1960s progressed Bennett's attitude would hasten What's My Line? being out of touch with what was going on in the country and the world. You notice it more around the 1964-1967 period.

The Gabors may have been beautiful but their major claim to fame was serial wedlock. The 3 girls and mamma had at least 23 husband's amongst them, not including countless affairs. ZsaZsa last married at 94 less a leg. But they were all much more successful at getting the money.

WORLD'S YOUNGEST SYMPHONY CONDUCTOR MAKES HAND PAINTED DIAPERS POODLE CLIPPER

I do love a hand-painted diaper … nice snug fit, please.

Maryli

Figures Bennett would ask "How about the boys?"

4:23 I’m sure the little lad got a head-but.

What symphony orchestra did this kid direct anyway? He certsainly never became one of the world's best known orches tra conductors at all.

DALY TRIED TO PUSH HIS HATRED OF ROCK N ROLL.

How would they know he was the worlds youngest symphony conductor BS

Aww Joey died in 2015 At the age of 65.

What family would a diaper belong to?

9:50 I always notice how Arlene straightens out her eyelashes after removing her mask. As for the diaper segment, Arlene most likely ended up wearing adult diapers during the final stages of her Alzheimer's disease. 16:50 Try forging THAT distinctive signature!

A poodle-groomer is the same as a poodle clipper right? I mean, in the sense that it's not specifically down to the dog breed,but specie rather ...?

If he only would have known then that he would loose his hair as a younger man

Eva Gabor has been the guest how many times? 4??

At approximately the 13:30 mark - that brings up an interesting point - I guess they didn't have adult diapers back in 1957!

3:56 Dang Arlene the poor kid is already embarrassed wearing short pants, but asking, "Do you perform with other little boys?" That's too much. The poodle guy makes poodles look goofy. I thought the kid was embarrassed, that guy makes poodles embarrassed.

B

What was the add at the beginning referring too...”shaves the hidden beard” was this a discreet reference to personal grooming down below 🤣

Hand-painted diapers? Must be crappy to see what happens to your work...

What is “the hidden beard”?

Why do people in all of the WML comments find it necessary to state their age at the time of the original broadcast? Pointless and irrelevant.

Joey was wrong.

Hand painted diapers? Weird

If Mr. John Charles Daily was 65 in 1957 he was born in 1892-3 😱

Pudelschoenheitsmeister is an occupation that does not interest me at all :)

Maybe it's just me, but when I binge watch many episodes, John Daly becomes more and more a pain to listen to. Constant interruptions on simple questions, and actually answering the panel's questions before the contestant can.

Eva Gabor -- nowadays no one would show up in a fur stole. Too politically incorrect.
