- This is one of my favorite "Mystery Guests" of all time on What's My Line with Announcer: Johnny Olsen. He is absolutely hysterical!
Arlene Francis, Martin Gabel, Sheila MacRae, Bennett Cerf - Zábava

They were ALL such classy people. Back in the day when television was wholesome.
Not no more!!
Johnny Olson was an amazing guest and is familiar voice we’ve all have heard for decades.
Is it safe to say that the voice of Johnny Olson has been heard by more people than any other person in the world? His career spanned decades with shows that had viewerships in the millions every day.
Maybe Jeremy Clarkson since then. Or maybe Daniel Craig.
Probably a long time tv announcer in China has been heard by more people.

I had no idea that Johnny Olsen could do so many different voices. And I still miss his voice for all those program way back when!!!!!

I love Johnny Olsen. He was announcing The Price Is Right when I was a child. My mom and I used to watch it together everyday. His death was the first time I had to process the concept of gone forever. I cried for hours and couldn't watch the show without him for weeks. It's cool to see him as a young-ish man.
I was 9 years old when he died and I remember the exact same feelings.
He looked nowhere near 55 years old in this clip! (And indeed if you watch 1985 TPIR clips of him in he looked nowhere near 75 then.)
Same here, before 1969, He announced what’s my line also
One of the greatest game show announcers of all time and a real gentleman as well, sadly missed!!!!!
The Olsen segment is one of the best in the entire history of this show.
He was also a mystery guests in the 1970s version of what's my line. I wonder if someone can post that very episode.
madamerotten Johnny must have been a great guy to hang around with. Every emcee who worked with him as their announcer has said he was a lovely gentleman. RIP John!
smiles from beginning to end!
It was a classic.
@@georgemaster1838 Isn't it great when someone who is so engaging as an on-air personality is just as decent (by all accounts) off screen? I remember when he died, and knew he was irreplaceable. There hasn't been someone like him since.
One of the best "stumper-guests" EVER on the program.
A very talented man with a golden voice.
Indeed!
Arlene Francis sheer class and Style
Wow who knew Johnny Olsen could do all those voices. He’s the gold standard in announcers
Johnny Gilbert and Johnny Olson. They did so many game shows between them.
Arlene's reaction to Johnny is priceless.
Johnny Olson was so greatly respected as an announcer, that once a week he travelled (for years) from NYC to Miami to perform his duties for "The Jackie Gleason Show." I can still hear (in my mind) his great introduction: "From the sun and fun capital of the world, Miami Beach, it's the Jackie Gleason Show!" I was only about 10 or 11 at the time, but absolutely loved that opening (and wished I could be in Miami Beach too!)
Johnny was so good at warming up audiences that Goodson-Todman and Jackie Gleason wouldn’t use anyone else, even though they had to pay extra to fly him around the country every week. Johnny only got the summers off and lived at his home in Connecticut. Glamorous but tough work.
I just LOVE it when Arlene throws her head back and laughs out loud. Such pure emotion!
She was a class act and a lovely lady.
She was indeed a treasure. She made an appearance on Match Game '73 the first year it was on, too. Delightful personality!
Watch when Ed Sullivan was the mystery guest
i find Arlene so delightful
@@austinl169 she was wonderful, wherever she went
I absolutely enjoy watching these shows and give a lot of thanks to all those responsible for uploading and I was born in 1950
I was also born in 1950 and appreciate very much these shows on CZcams. I am so happy to see these old episodes of this great tv show again after all these years thanks to the person or persons responsible for these episodes
Johnny Olson! He was the best! So nice to see him in his younger years! He was always so bubbly on the PIR and such a sincere smile! Such a talent! Love this show....TYVM!
I love how Johnny did such an excellent job of working the 'Price Is Right' in his concluding days
One of the few occasions when all of the panel stand to greet the mystery guest (Maurice Chavalier). So respectful.
Johnny Olson was funny as hell, I'd bet he was great at parties.
Johnny and Arlene were great friends and I loved that he fooled her.
@@poetcomic1 by y B
Johnny’s segment is one of the funniest ever.
Johnny O: a true legend in the television world.
Maurice was such a handsome and genteel man! 👏👏👏🥰
John Daly 100-percent pure gentleman and I can't keep from looking at Arlene Francis I love her
My goodness was Johnny Olson hilarious.
There will never be any one else as great as Johnny Olsen !!! ALSO > Technically speaking, a telephone book does grow !
“Yes, I should hope to tell you would!” Is a callback to Liz Taylor’s appearance in 1954. Johnny O was brilliant!
I noticed that too! Johnny was brilliant! What a star ! 👍👏
Yes, this is one of the greatest segments of all time, the great Johnny Olsen who reveals some of his other talents
Johnny Olson was the GREATEST game show announcer, bar none!!!
@@joeykardos7602 Amen Brother!!!! I remember when he died, and how irreplaceable he was. Loved when he appeared in the silly showcase sketches at the end along with the models.
Johnny Olson was just amazing! So many voices 🤣 in one man! What a marvelously talented guy, and beloved by so many!!! 🥰👏🥰👏👏
Arlene Francis was the best
7 months later, on November 8, 1965, my beloved Dorothy Kilgallen would depart this earth.
Wish she was born in my time.
Johnny Olson would have been fabulous at parties. He could probably keep people in stitches with his impersonations.
Of course a huge thumbs up to this episode , I loved Johnny Olson .
The applause for Maurice Chevalier says so much about love and energy. We could all use more of both.
Such a gentleman he was! And so handsome, too!
Johnny, tell us what we’ve won! The gift of your inimitable voice. What a lovely parting gift. Beats the heck outa Turtle Wax…
Johnny Olsen was just great, made my day.
Great to see Johnny Olsen after so many shows he's been part of.
Had no idea Jonny Olson so talented.
I never knew that Johnny O. could even _DO_ impersonations and other voices!
I have never appreciated how Mr Daly gives hints including laughing and interpretation of answers
He's trying to help the contestants win, not the panel 😒
I love watching this show. Simple, to the point, and so much fun. Sad, however, to see how far our current entertainment has fallen into the gutter compared to these erudite people.
So true. They run away from people of quality.
That's because we're in an anti-intellectual age. The host and panelists on this show would now be ridiculed as "coastal elites".
Johnny O had a lot of hidden talent! He's hilarious here.
YOU GOT TO LOVE JOHNNY OLSON. YOU NEVER HEARD ANY BAD THINGS ABOUT HIM. WHAT A GREAT CAREER HE HAD. I CAN STILL HERE HIM YELLING COME ON DOWN ON THE PRICE IS RIGHT AND CALLING OUT FROM MIAMI BEACH ON THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW.
Old “big mouth”, they called Johnny
Johnny Olsen was so talented and funny!
Another treasure.
So many great shows, my favorite game show ever.
I'm really glad I've clicked on this episode once again, I've watched it once before on a different channel. Johnny O had me laughing out loud with those voices of his, absolutely hilarious, one of my top five episodes of all time.
How ironic and prophetic that Mr. Daly told Maurice Chevalier and the WML panel that he hopes that when he's 77 (years old), he wishes to have Mr. Chevalier's and in his own words, "ebullience of spirit, your perennial and wonderful youth, and that glorious confidence". That's the exact age that the beloved John Charles Daly left us to go to the big panel up in the sky and to be with the ultimate moderator. 19:28 God bless him (February 20, 1914 - February 24, 1991).
True movie stars. Lots of respect shown.
Johnny Olson’s mother was my dad’s babysitter in the late ‘30s early ‘40s. Windom Minnesota
Johnny Olson ranked along with the Met Opera's Milton Cross and NBC's Don Pardo as one of the finest broadcast announcers of all time.
Most definitely 🎉
Wow, the panel was hurting in the game-playing department without Dorothy there.
Great show, hope to see more of it from you!
Here weenies had a way of weeding out clues
Thank you so much for posting these shows. They bring me hours and hours of pleasure. What a breath of fresh air !
Johnny was hilarious! Thanks so much for sharing!
What a talented voice actor!
Lucy and Betty made a formidable team! A great pleasure watching them. Thanks and blessings for sharing! 🙏👏❤
love what´s my line!!!!
I miss the days of Johnny Olson.
Arlene is great with Maurice.
She knows it's entertainment.
And the very best at that.
At 4:04 and 10:17 Johnny Olsen acknowledges the audience. That's class. Less than one in twenty guests do that.
I felt badly for him that Shelia McRae didn't stand for him or give him a kiss like she did Maurice Chevallier. I'm thinking that she would appear on The Jackie Gleason Show soon after as the second "Alice", a show on which Johnny was announcer.
I love this show!
Johnny Olson was so fun and funny. Thank you so much for bringing this wonderful show back.
When Bennett says the word "PLAY" notice he says it as 2 or 3 syllables. Also I love how he pronounces "moderator" in most introductions of John. He talks like a cartoon character. I love to hear him talk.
This is one of the funniest of all What’s my Lines!!!!!!!!!!
It's so eerie at 19:30 minutes in that John mentioned about living to age 77 as he actually died aged 77 in 1991
U don't say. Now what ?
Love Maurice Chevalier, but Johnny Olson absolutely stole the show
Spring 1965: Dorothy Kilgallen broke her collar bone when she slipped on a throw rug. The week before, she showed up with her arm in sling. The break and the complications [ drug use side effects?/ hard to tell ] kept her off about six broadcasts and taping sessions.
The shape of things to come: Shiela McRae would within a year work with Johnny Olsen when she joined the Jackie Gleason Show cast
Husband and wife entertainers were the parents of the lovely, gracious, multi-talented, multi-faceted comedic actress Meredith MacRae-she played Sally Ann Morrison/Douglas-the longtime girlfriend and eventual wife of Tim Considine's character of "Mike Douglas" on "My Three Sons" (1963-1965). Additionally-she played one of the daughters on "Petticoat Junction" (1966-1970). Sadly enough-she died in 2000, at the age of 56, after a long battle with brain cancer and then a botched brain operation conducted by an egregiously incompetent "brain surgeon"! :(
Gordon and Sheila MacRae were Meredith's famous show business parents.
He went on to announce for MANY Mark Goodson/Bill Todman game shows, AFTER "What's My Line?"-including "Match Game"; "Tattletales"; "The Price Is Right"; and MANY others! :)
A few commenters here before me have alluded to one of Johnny's later (and very famous) lines... He was the guy who made the line "Come On Down! ... You're the next contestant on The Price Is Right" famous in his role as announcer on that show until his passing. His replacement, Rod Roddy had to take up where Johnny left off, and while Rod was good as an announcer, nobody seemed to have the same persona and personality that Mr. Olson blessed us with, in his work.
johnny was the greatest come on downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Johnny Olson "invented" that line.
Went to a Merv Griffin game show with my elementary school class and Johnny did the warm up. Treated us kids as nice and as warmly as the rest of the audience. Thanks for the great memories of a truly nice man.
If it was a Merv Griffin game show and Johnny O. was the announcer, would it have been "Play Your Hunch", which Merv hosted in the late '50s and early '60s?
This was hilarious and very special !!!!!
One of the best ever! Thank you so much for all your work bringing this delightful show for us
They're all deceased. R.I.P.
Msr. Chevalier was a good-looking ol' guy, wasn't he ? He was really beloved in his day.
LOVE LOVE LOVE
I was in the audience of The Price is Right in '81, and Mr. Olson did the warm up and announcing, also, they do an after the show segment with a prize, to keep the audience jacked up.
Tell me more. Tell me more !
I call BS, Merle. Sorry
Johnny olson "Come on down!"
I love John Daly's conferences, wish I could have had one!
Note the women stand for a distinguished older man as a sign of respect
They stood for the older celebrity, but not the older phone book producer.
@@caroldannenberg9778 The key word is 'distinguished'. Older vital men do NOT want to be treated like elderly statesmen.
Arlene Francis, before the show: "Oh Martin, you'll never guess who I saw in the lift earlier! Maurice Chevalier! You know what THAT means!"
John said to Chevalier that he wished when he was himself 77 that he would have the same perennial youth and glorious confidence. Sadly John Daly in fact died four days after his 77th birthday.
Johnny Olson born 5-22-1910 exactly 104 years ago today
Oh, how funny. I stumbled upon this today and it just so happens to be 5-22-2019.
I’m late but 110 now
@@poochillipickles8525 better late than never lol 😊
Love watching these
What a talent he was----enjoyed this show lots--thx Match Box!
The last words you want to hear on your deathbed is Johnny Olson saying "Come on dooooown!“
Then a few years later, Johnny would strike gold with The New Price is Right.
I think he also was announcer for the first few years of the syndicated version of "What's My Line?".
Johnny gave himself away about a half dozen times, and they still couldn't pick it up.
Originally telecast live on April 4, 1965.
I sincerely regret not having the opportunity to have met Arlene Francis so I could just give her a tremendous hug n a kiss on her beautiful cheek
Before my time but love these episodes
John Daly had to be one of the luckiest persons ever. Imagine meeting all of the famous people that he shared his little desk with over the years...
A rare episode where the panel gets skunked by everyone except the second mystery guest!
good wholesome and now historic entertainment
Arlene seemed to be enamored of Johnny Olsen.
These are great!
Le8na le27s
When Arlene and Gabel are side by side you wonder what in the world was she thinking.
Johnny Olsen on What's My Line spelled his name EXACTLY that way, so I wouldn't disagree with him. Check out the show again.
Ward Wilson Thank You For your comments. They help me a LOT!
" Tell them what they won Johnny". Seems like I heard that a few times over the years. LOL
Poor gal, the pool hall lady. Tough act to follow, first the hilarious Johnny Olson who had the panel in stitches and then living legend Maurice Chevalier!
Even then -- Mr. Chevalier looks a pretty amazing 76!
With their knack of figuring out mystery guests (especially Bennett), I'm amazed that he didn't give himself away at the 5:15 mark.
Maurice Chevalier is the one man who could say, "I love little girls" and not be considered a pedophile. What a great entertainer!
That's because he said Thank heaven for them and people didn't jump on people for no good reason.
He was pure 100% pure CLASS
Bennet now an Admiral in the Nebraska Navy. Ok, that would narrow it down to Lake McConahay and the Platte River! Congrats Admiral!
No wonder the 70s was such a huge shock to this generation they are all so stoic
This episode contains some of the sharpest repartee between John Daly and Bennett Cerf.
I think that it was more than kidding around.
