"When hasn't wealth been the greatest motivator of man?" It is quite possible to obtain wealth without being driven by greed or an inordinate love for money. Sadly in our day it is pure greed and the lust for sexual perversion.
But do you notice how the tide seemed to change during the last few years of the show to its last Sunday night broadcast in 1967? People like Peter Paul and Mary and other 1960s icons started coming on and the panel started to seem to be out of touch with what was going on in the country and who the up and coming people were. I remember Bennett Cerf was knocking rock and roll and liked it when a boy under 10 years of age said he didn't like rock n roll. Also, there was one time when a contestant was answering Dorothy Kilgallen in a very informal way and she was so angry about it. That was the only time I have seen Dorothy be upset with a contestant. The contestant answered by calling Dorothy "man", and Dorothy said something along the lines of 'I'm not a man".
MikeyD22 You cannot call a woman beautiful, attractive or even stunning. It is considered Sexual Harassment in today’s climate. However it It not a two way street as women are allowed to label superlatives on men like “cute” with absolutely no recriminations

Oh, the clothes. I remember my mother telling me that in 1961 she used to go grocery shopping in a skirt suit with stockings, hat and gloves (in Baton Rouge, LA). I hardly get that dressed up to go to a serious function! I do remember wearing gloves and a hat to church in 1966. As a six year old, I owned TWO pairs of little, white gloves.
I went to a Christian college in the 60's and Sunday attire for ladies was hat,hose,heels and gloves along with ",.proper" Sunday attire and gentlemen wore suits with tie. Everyone looked nice. Today at the same school you wear just about anything if you even go to services:(

This show was broadcast on Sunday, May 28, 1961. My mom was about five weeks from giving birth to me. I wonder what that Sunday was like. Watching this helps me get a feel for that day.
Not to impugn Ms. Loren's ability to adorn the Movie or Television screen at any given time with her perfect head-to-toe beauty but that first contestant was absolutely, flawlessly awesome herself.
Caught just part of this movie Two Women by chance on TV 30 years ago and still remember many of the scenes clearly. Amazing actress totally brought the movie to life.
She was an actress in such movies back in the 1950's including "Houseboat", and also a singer at one time where she only had a song called "Bing Bang Bong", and it went nowhere on the charts. It was a fun song, but I don't know why Sophia Loren never made it to the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Take a good listen. czcams.com/video/FErZM58xT7g/video.html
Reminds me of her classic acting career and all the time I spent in her childhood home of Pozzuoli when I was in Naples, Italy from 1981-1983. Perhaps one of the last of "golden era" of film.
she was 34 years old, she was born in 1927, she was married to the most powerful cinema producer, and that made the diva. her sister married mussolini' s son, but I'm sure nobody in us know that. just pour parlair she acts super badly. the best italian actress at that time was virna lisi, but she was dismissed too early from the biz system: she was too blond , too white and with a pair of too blue eyes. wrong " material "to represent what they thought had to be represented as " italian", plus she ( virna) didn't marry a producer. ciao ciao.
@@lisacorimbi5045 Chi te le dice queste cazzate? Virna Lisi era bellissima, ma come attrice...La Loren, oltre che bellissima (specie dopo le plastiche) era bravissima come attrice, è andata migliorando continuamente e parlava un inglese quasi perfetto. Pensi che ai produttori sarebbe fregato qualcosa se la Lisi fosse stata in grado di portare spettatori al cinema come la Loren (per un periodo l'attrice più redditizia la botteghino americano)? L'unica rivale della Loren avrebbe potuto essere la Mangano, forse anche più brava della Loren e altrettanto bella.

I've got to give a belated shout-out to Jim Cook and all his colleagues at the Severe Storm center. At this time I was five years old and living in Kansas City, so I well remember tornado warnings from his organization. During stormy weather when tornadoes were heading our way, we occasionally had to spend a few hours in the basement of our house listening to the radio reports from the tornado trackers. Just like the hurricane trackers featured in another WML episode, these pilots flew in dangerous weather to keep the rest of us safe, in those days before weather satellites and Doppler radar. I'm glad nobody has to do those flights now!
19:20 "Are you busy tonight?" LMAO, flirting with the mystery guest while not wasting questions. She can't say no because he could have a chance to ask her out the next round...
"Two Women" was a wonderful film for which Sophia received the best actress Oscar, but there was another film she did in this very time period which I enjoyed even more. "It Started in Naples" (released in August 1960) paired Clark Gable with Sophia Loren (in color) and was filmed on location in Rome, Naples, and Capri. Needless to say, the cinema-photography was spectacular. Clark Gable had suddenly passed away the previous November (1960) about six months, or so, previous to the date of this WML show. "It Started in Naples" became the last of his film premier's Gable would see. (He had just finished shooting "The Misfits" with Marilyn Monroe at the time of his death). I wondered if Sophia was going to be asked about her work with Gable, but perhaps the WML producers felt it might be depressing for the audience, as well as the idea of keeping the focus on "Two Women" which Sophia came to New York to promote.
Its like watching these shows for the 1st time and they're great....in the mid 50s I was too young for this program and when I was older i watched other shows
same 10years ago i discovered Whats my line on YT i remember seeing a rereun on TV on vacation with my family in NYC in 2009 from France and i just love it. So classy and a great Time capsule of those days they litterally had all the big stars of that era were on there. Beautiful
Sophia sat in front of us at the Hollywood Bowl in the early 1990's. She was with her sons. What a beautiful family. She is breathtaking up close. Stunning!
A prelude to Steve Lawrence asking 18-year-old Snooks Roark, "What are you doing after the show?" on the 25 August 1964 (I think I got the date right; I know that I got the month and year right) WML? show. It's very funny (especially Miss Roark's response(s)) - but I'll bet that Eydie gave him royal Hell for that one when he got home.
I just watched Johnny cash and June carter cash on the tonight show and here I am seeing a younger Johnny Carson on what’s my line because I wanted to see Sophia Loren. What are the odds of this happening?
It's funny to watch the panel laugh when they guess the occupation of the guest . Also when they guess the mistery guest. They laugh like look what I did. ,😁
ironduke2000 We have hardly regressed in every way. You must be a white man speaking because the women’s movement and the Civil Rights Act of 1965, giving Blacks the right to vote (without the absurd rules made up in the South to deter voting by Black people), can only be called great progress for our country. I don’t think women or Black people would want to return to the 1950s.
@@errorsofmodernism9715 I thought that it was strange that LJ would bring up civil rights in response to a comment about clothes but what the hell is wrong with you? So you don't think that black people should have been given more rights? I'm pretty sure that white people have rights in any African country but if they didn't it wouldn't be justification to limit rights for anyone here.
Yes! and Sophia was offered the role of the daughter - Magnani didn't want to play mother to Sophia. Even tho Sophia was only 26 in this movie, she looked to old to be playing daughter to Magnani and that's why Magnani turned it down.

same 10years ago i discovered Whats my line on YT i remember seeing a rereun on TV on vacation with my family in NYC in 2009 from France and i just love it. So classy and a great Time capsule of those days they litterally had all the big stars of that era were on there. Beautiful
Man, I think this young Carson guy may become something one day...
He may even have his own late night show if he keeps it up? 😁🤓🧐🤣
you guys are crazy! this will probably be the highlight of his career
😆
What a chance to see these actors/actresses in their prime.
Sophia sat in front of us at the Hollywood Bowl in the early 1990's. She was with her sons. What a beautiful family. She is breathtaking up close. Stunning!
Love seeing the celebrities at the prime of their lives….
John Daly was such a gracious,charming and polite host.Sophie Loren has great modesty-inner beauty as well outer beauty.
Her performance in films with Marcelo mastroiani were unforgettable
SOPHIA LOREN, WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD.
Disagreed.
@Calpurnia L But, she gave away her child.
Awesome! Johnny Carson before his Tonight Show!
OMG Sophia Loren! A goddess!
Johnny Carson "Are you free tonight?" LOL!
A prelude to Steve Lawrence asking 18-year-old Snooks Roark, "What are you doing after the show?" on the 25 August 1964 (I think I got the date right; I know that I got the month and year right) WML? show. It's very funny (especially Miss Roark's response(s)) - but I'll bet that Eydie gave him royal Hell for that one when he got home.
The sexual innuendos are off the chain but so subtle 😂😂😂
It's fun seeing Johnny Carson well over a year before he was to start on the Tonight Show.
I love that John calls Sophia Loren, Mam.
When most men had manners!
Panel Member: "Are you one of the most unbelievably sexy women of all time?"
Sophia: "Yeeeess"
Arlene francis was stunning
Everybody looks ridiculous next to Sophia Loren.
"That's even young for Mr. Daily" -- Zing!!
I just watched Johnny cash and June carter cash on the tonight show and here I am seeing a younger Johnny Carson on what’s my line because I wanted to see Sophia Loren. What are the odds of this happening?
Sadly Pamela Proksa’s obituary can be found online! She passed away in 2009 at only 66 years of age!
Johnny would take over the Tonight Show sixteen months later (October 1, 1962).
so gracious as always Ms Arlene
A most exotic goddess from Italy !!!! I love her and she is still with us.
The tornado tracker looks as if his boss ordered him to go on WML for the honor of the Weather Bureau.
Yes! He seemed to have a scowl on his face. Would have made a good mobster in the old Bogart movies.
wow she was very beautiful and talented
i watched who do you trust all the time. I had such a crush on Carson
my God, sophia loren just sits there and looks GORGEOUS.. wow
It's funny to watch the panel laugh when they guess the occupation of the guest . Also when they guess the mistery guest. They laugh like look what I did. ,😁
BEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN.
Is........?
What kills me are the outfits! We have regressed in less than 50 years!
ironduke2000 We have hardly regressed in every way. You must be a white man speaking because the women’s movement and the Civil Rights Act of 1965, giving Blacks the right to vote (without the absurd rules made up in the South to deter voting by Black people), can only be called great progress for our country. I don’t think women or Black people would want to return to the 1950s.
@@LJ-xr5th Do whites have rights in Africa? village idiot.Correct your own injustices first before you point the finger at others.
Oh definitely, we need to bring those pointy bras back into fashion😂
@@errorsofmodernism9715 I thought that it was strange that LJ would bring up civil rights in response to a comment about clothes but what the hell is wrong with you? So you don't think that black people should have been given more rights? I'm pretty sure that white people have rights in any African country but if they didn't it wouldn't be justification to limit rights for anyone here.
@@errorsofmodernism9715 yes they do have rights. What an ignorant comment. Shows how little you really know.
Sophia Loren is possessed of otherworldly beauty.
Just love these shows!
Her eyes are stunning!!!!
Stunning and so beautiful and those beautiful eyes WOW i loved as a boy
This is what I love about the internet!! My favorite You Tube channel! The host and panelists are the bests of the best!!!
Love the banter between Cert and Daily!
BRAVO! Viva Sophia!
The role was offered to Magnani who declined. Loren was spectacular and won the OSCAR.
Yes! and Sophia was offered the role of the daughter - Magnani didn't want to play mother to Sophia. Even tho Sophia was only 26 in this movie, she looked to old to be playing daughter to Magnani and that's why Magnani turned it down.
@@ElizaDolittle exactly.
