  • NOTE: This video uses two sources in order to provide the best video quality possible with the footage available. Video quality will change throughout the show. Most of the opening and the entire mystery guest segment are in good quality, but the rest is unfortunately transferred from a VHS tape with a somewhat unstable picture. Personally, I'm just delighted to be able to see the whole show in any watchable form, but do apologize I don't have a better copy at the moment. In any event, MANY thanks to epaddon for providing the the portions I was missing, or I wouldn't have been able to post this one at all.
    MYSTERY GUEST: Ed Sullivan

      Sullivan was also instrumental in introducing Motown groups to the general public. He had on his show, for example, the Jackson 5, the Supremes, the Temptations, the Four Tops, Martha and the Vandellas, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, and Gladys Knight and the Pips.

    Great episode! Plenty of reference to my home city of Cork. It's funny that I have mentioned Eddie Mulhare's name to plenty of Cork people, but nobody knows who he is. When I explain that he is in Knight Rider they know then, but don't realise he was from Cork. I think people assume he is English, as he acquired an English accent since he left Ireland.

    SaveThe TPC There's an interesting exchange between Bennett and John Daly starting at 11:13 (pertaining to plants being alive) when Bennett asks if the contestant's product has ever been alive. The contestant rightly answers yes, Daly overrules him, and Bennett protests that they had established "about four years ago..." that plants were alive. I bet it was a night when Tony Randall was on the panel. :-)

    • @WhatsMyLine
      @WhatsMyLine  Před 9 lety +2

      Robert Melson VERY interesting! But actually Tony Randall's objection to the whole "plants not being considered alive on WML" thing wasn't till 9/13/64, after this show! I don't know what Bennett thought he was referring to, but plants were always-- exasperatingly-- considered "not alive" by John on WML.

      What's My Line? Hmm...I haven't watched that yet, as I'm going through them in order, with the exceptions of DK's death and the very last one. Both I and TPC (I think) noticed one with Tony Randall (could have been about 4 years ago?) in which Tony insisted (and John et. al. quickly acceded to) that plants were alive too. Then we also saw one a few months ago (that Tony was on) where Bennett made the point that plants were alive. We jokingly made the observation that Tony's presence had caused that interpretation. Right, SaveThe TPC ?

      Robert Melson You might have seen the clip I posted from the 1964 show to the Facebook group ages ago, even if you hadn't watched the episode yet. Either that, or I'm forgetting an earlier incident, but I don't think so. Tony says in the 1964 show that it never occurred to him to bring this up before, after all the years he'd been on the program.

      What's My Line? Could be I did see it posted on FB (I joined in June, I think). I found the reference I mentioned above from "a few months ago" which bears on the subject: 3/11/62 at 10:35. John concedes that bananas had been alive after Dorothy explicitly asks had it "ever been alive, _animal or vegetable_". I concede that John answers as he does because of Dorothy's use of the word vegetable. That man is gonna be intransigent the entire run of the show, isn't he? I can understand Gil Fates' irritation with him a little better. BTW, did you notice Eamonn Andrews' proper (and different from Daly's) answer to the question when he was guest hosting?

    • @WhatsMyLine
      @WhatsMyLine  Před 9 lety +3

      Robert Melson No, I did not notice that Eamonn treated the question differently! I'll have to take a look some time, as well as the banana episode. This is, for me, perhaps the single weakest point of John Daly as the otherwise beyond reproach moderator. It makes NO sense, and even if they wanted to just have this as an arbitrary standard on WML, he should have at least explained it when it came up, and he really never did. That said, I don't think Fates's ill will towards John had anything to do with his performance on camera, just my gut feeling. I think it was interpersonal, a producer who understandably resented the degree of control exerted over the program by a cast member.

    Was the What's My Line studio near the CBS theater where did his show? I wonder what he would do between 9 (when left the air) and the 10:30 (actually 10 till for his bit) starting time of this show. Gee, today if you mention Ed Sullivan's name, if you're lucky you might get a response "well he brought the Beatles to America, right". I guess you have to be over 50 to really appreciate how he influenced television.

    • @WhatsMyLine
      @WhatsMyLine  Před 10 lety +7

      Part of the reason Sullivan is nearly forgotten? The folks in charge of his interests today are notoriously aggressive about anyone posting anything from the Sullivan shows to CZcams, yet have released basically nothing from the catalog on home video except the Beatles shows. Very short sighted, old fashioned thinking. The result is that one of the best known figures of television for over 20 YEARS, a television institution, is nearly forgotten today except as the guy whose name is on the theater the Letterman show broadcasts from.

    • @tjbnyc76
      @tjbnyc76 Před 10 lety +2

      What's My Line? I agree, although I wonder how much of that has to do with the basic assumption on the part of the powers-that-be that there isn't sufficient public interest in the material to make reissuing it profitable, versus the financial considerations of paying the copyright fees for all of the musical guests involved. Either way, it comes down to the almighty dollar, unfortunately. Incidentally, they DID release a large DVD box set of some of the iconic pop/rock/R&B performances from the Sullivan show about 10 years ago. It was a very worthwhile purchase, but many of the clips were edited down from their already relatively brief original running times (3-4 minutes, tops) to truncated, 2 minute clips, I believe in order to get through a loophole which allowed the producers to bypass the copyright fees if they kept the clips under a specific amount of time.

    • @WhatsMyLine
      @WhatsMyLine  Před 10 lety +3

      Todd Brandt If music clearances are the issue for DVD release, which they very well could be, CZcams is the ideal venue for them to make the material available, as the Carson folks have. On CZcams it would be much more possible to post shows that they lack music clearances for, as long as the music copyright holders don't act toward *them* the way *they* do toward anyone trying to keep this legacy alive by posting Sullivan clips. It becomes a vicious cycle: there isn't enough commercial interest to spend the dough to release the material, so they keep it locked up, the public forgets even more, and the commercial viability is damaged even further.
      If nothing else, they could easily post the non musical portions of the shows that likely don't require any clearances. Simply locking the stuff up out of view of the public (outside of that one less than ideal rock and roll set that was a blatant grab at younger consumers) only has the effect of making the material more commercially worthless over time. And they completely fail to grasp that the folks who post this material are doing so because they love the shows and want to see this legacy kept alive, not because they're immoral digital pirates. If they wanted to, they could block all Sullivan videos that are posted by others without going as far as to issue copyright strikes *just as easily*. They've made a conscious, vindictive choice to attack the accounts of folks who want nothing more than to preserve Sullivan's legacy for posterity.

      Dick Clark's people are also notoriously vigilant in taking action against those who post clips related to his old shows. It's frustrating and sad, because there is a treasure trove of material out there that, at this rate, will never be seen by future generations (and only passed around by the few "in the know" on grainy, less than ideal bootlegs). Maddening!

    Lorna Badeo Am I remembering correctly from the Lee Israel bio of Dorothy you recommended: didn't she have a feud going with Ed Sullivan for a while in the early days of her VOB column? I thought of this in particular when seeing here the relatively rare occasion where a mystery guest (Sullivan) made a big show of affection for Dorothy upon his exit, including a kiss. Theater? Or just poor memory on my part?
    I know he was also on another earlier show, but I hadn't read the bio when I last watched that one so I wasn't paying attention to this aspect. :)

      Bennett was a very intelligent man and was plenty smart about figuring things out on many occasions. In this case he took a chance on a hunch, and it turned out he was right. There have been plenty of times when his hunches were totally off-base, but this time, I guess "the luck of the Irish" was with him. ;)

    At 23:25 we get to see John Daly tugging at his ear, the standard signal meaning "Drop the subject". Bennett had asked the Irish policewoman what she thought of Mr. Briscoe, the mayor of Dublin. But John didn't want a political argument. Bennett did drop the subject ... but was able to resume, four years later on March 9, 1958, when Mr. Briscoe was a contestant on WML.
    czcams.com/video/WBUaEujoiNU/video.html
    Bennett, as a publisher, was riled up about allegations of censorship in a Dublin theater festival. Mr. Briscoe gave a long rebuttal; the camera showed only Mr. Briscoe so we'll never know if John was again tugging frantically at his ear.

      Excellent catch!!! I've been asked before if I can point to an example of John pulling his ear on camera, and I've never been able to remember a case, only remembered reading about this trick in many places.
      What's REALLY fascinating about this bit, if I'm not mistaken, is that John here was referring to the very Mayor Wagner who later married Bennett's wife, Phyllis, after Bennett's death!

      I finally get to see one. Thanks, Gary D. And, interestingly, John doesn't in any way try to conceal it. I had thought that the main reason we had not spotted it before was perhaps John Daly's deliberate intent to wait until the camera was off him, or to try to do it as surreptitiously as could be in other ways, e.g., with face turned away or as casually as possible. This was quite obvious here.

      Well, at the risk of being pedantic (probably too late). . . At room temperature, glass is a solid. At room temperature, water is liquid. All sorts of forms of matter exist as solid, liquid or gas depending on temperature and pressure conditions. It only makes sense, for matter that can exist in these different states, to refer to them in plain english by the state they're in at room temperature. But if you want to consider glass to be a cooled liquid, and water to be a melted solid, be my guest. :)

      Good lord, where do you people study science of any kind. First, glass is not a type of matter, it is a composite of several minerals changed by heat thus altering the properties of the composite components. I need not as a glass blower as I myself am a scientist. Matter certainly may exist in multiple forms, typical glass lacks a defined crystal architecture. But to claim glass is a liquid is scientifically inaccurate. It is the property and characteristics of the material in its solid state which confers the definition of “Glass”. As a forensic scientist, I would like to think I know a bit about glass...but this was just ridiculous.

      Joe Postove It's a good question. I think the difference is that Cavett owned his programs (pretty sure, since I know Cavett 's company currently owns the library), whereas NBC owns the Tonight show. If Cavett wisely made it a priority to preserve his shows, he wouldn't have have been at the mercy of the network to not wipe the tapes. Just a theory.
