Have a little drink, Dorothy. She did love her cocktails.

Several years ago in 1986 I was in New York City and was in the lobby of Trump Tower as I was sitting on a bench in the lobby. I seen an elderly couple walking through the lobby. Looking at these videos of What's My Line? I believe the elderly couple that I observed was Martin Gabel and Arlene Francis? I had no contact with them but I remember the Jacket that the old man was wearing it was a fur Jacket but was it him? I think that it was?

I gather that the Francis/Gabel household was full of fun and laughter

I love this.. What’s My Line was the best show, too bad for us kids it was on at 10:30 Sunday nights, tough to get up for school in the morning!

The fire hey talked about was her husband Richard Kollmar passing out drunk with alit cigarette.🙄

THE best show in television history.

This is really bugging me. Who is the man in the thumbnail. It's not Robert Wagner or Montgomery Clift. I can't figure it out. Edit: Julius Larosa

Martin Gabel was a lucky man!

“Life of the pahty”! I just learned today that Fred was born and raised in my home state of Massachusetts!

06:39 Allan Sherman had the most annoying act in show business this side of Tiny Tim, and mercifully, disappeared quickly. His hit song was "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah."

If Mr John Charles Daily was a law enforcement officer Investigating a crime if he conducts the investigation? In the same manner as efficiently as he hosts What's My Line? He would be one of the best investigators around. B

8:13 it sounds like John is saying in Latin "si cum ita sint", which Google Translate renders "if they are so", i.e., the previous answers being so.

Wow. Benny had a lot of material.

she was so pretty rest in peace Arlene

What's My Line is the most interesting and articulately intelligent show in history. The intelligent eloquence of Mr John Charles Daily as Moderator along with a panel of above average reasonably intelligent people resulting in this being the greatest television show in history.

I loved Arlene Francis on the show. She was witty,charming and so very funny.

THE BIGGEST PHONY WAS JOHN DALEY BS SMILE AND LAUGH! NEXT TO ARLENE FRANCIS "SINGING" HER QUESTIONS!

The segment beginning at 12:02 and ending at 12:46 is the funniest in my opinion, and I would have placed it at number 1.

Is it, Miss, or Mrs.? Miss, I've made enough mistakes! 😂

Way to GO with sharing This! Thank You.

I understand why John frequently referred to her as Miss... Because she was eternally girlish...and kittenish... and sexy and witty... and SO cool!

She was the best. I had a real crush on her as a kid.

There is a fascinating NEW book out in 2024 on DOROTHY KILGALLEN by a FEMALE AUTHOR who has found the "smoking gun": the proof that the man long suspected of foul play in DK's death had a connection to U.S. intel. This is based on EXCLUSIVE, TAPED INTERVIEWS with him. Here is an in-depth interview with the author discussing the new findings and debunking some of the reckless assertions by a male author who has distorted Dorothy's story but so dominates CZcams with his rambling claims: czcams.com/video/01m0T3JI6yM/video.html

What a hoot!!!

How fun! They were marvelous ❤. I love Mr. Cerf leaning his face on his right hand. So cute 🥰

Само един въпрос... защо :D

And after one of these shows, Dorothy was murdered because she knew to much of the JFK killer

I want a transcript of all of these!!

We would watch this show as kids/teenagers and enjoyed Arlene but could not figure out why she was famous, so we named everything after her: pet turtles, a puppet we made, etc. We even made several home movies with plots with the main character being Arlene Keekeekee, American Agent. She brought a lot to our party and the What's My Line audience.

"She managed to get a private interview with Jack Ruby in lock-up ..Dorothy left us much too early!😥 So-Sad!😞 d🤕🇪🇺

Dorothy's reaction when she realizes that the guest makes bread boxes: czcams.com/video/-q9tXR7jmL8/video.html .

Francis is such a smart A

Yes! I was hoping that the nudist colony woman would be one of the top 10 moments. Dorothy's "a-ha" moment was priceless! Not too shabby coming in at the runner up spot. An added bonus: the mystery guest star for that particular episode (aired 6/14/53) was none other than the legendary US Senator Margaret Chase Smith from my home state of Maine. "Small but mighty" state indeed (as Dorothy put it-who correctly guessed who she was).

White gloves.

There's a thought John Daly as a Congressman or Representative A man who could out talk Mr Smith from Washington

Could you imagine how long the declaration of Independence would be if John Daly had written it instead of Thomas Jefferson He probably would have gotten help from Daniel Webster himself for the correct wording of the document

I’m 65 years old. I’ve seen many game shows over the years. For me, this show is waaay above the rest . Great share!

I loved Fred Allen’s non sequitur questions.😂❤

Arlene's father, Aram Kazanjian, was Armenian, originally from the Ottoman Empire; when her dad was in France, Arlene's grandparents perished as victims of the Hamidian Massacres (1894 -- 1896). Her dad then took the family to Massachusetts, where Arlene was born, and later to Manhattan, New York.

It's sad that Arlene's heart pendant necklace (a gift from her husband Martin Gabel) was stolen from her in a mugging and was never recovered.

Dorothy's "pig" questioning was surreal. Mr Perkins question about whether a product ciuld be used by Men & Women was ironic. Why the gasps of horror at Bennett's question at the end?

No its actually because there is mo freedom or prosperity or gojs things there. Its a evil country that kills its citizens..no freeom iof rreligion&no freedom of speech..no freedom of association..and now the Dems are trying to bring thst mess here.

Very good one and all😅

Well done!

Well done!

Hey. The WML girl.

Impressive!
