Sassoon became a member of the 43 Group, a Jewish veterans' militia organisation that broke up Fascist meetings in East London after the end of the war. In 1948 he joined the Israeli Defence Forces to fight in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
Really? Bennett himself doesn't seem too upset...you can usually tell when someone on the panel has really ticked him off (like that "may I finish" incident with Henry Morgan).
Oh, he was pi$$ed alright! Cerf's comment "Here is the very last word on water pollution, callipygian damsels, and panel moderation, John Daly" says it all. He was putting her in her place. He knew that Daly would side with him.
It certainly does not seem to me that Gypsie Rose Lee's intention was to be offensive. But it is very easy, in attempting to be funny, to say things that are taken in a different spirit than they were intended.
great episode and I'm surprised he was not recognized by the women on the panel...until Morgan's question. And he was an unpleasant, stick up the ass staple of talk shows like Merv Griffin's.
Remember that the media then was much less extensive than now, and this was relatively near the beginning of his fame. His name was known but any photos in articles he was mentioned it would have been of his work, not him.
Nondescript Not quite. It doesn't explain your lack of joined up thinking. "If he's a world famous hair stylist ,why is he sporting a Jim Carrey Dumb and Dumber haircut?" What the hell does one thing have to do with the other?

"If you don't look good, we don't look good." -Vidal Sassoon
I agree. He seems to be playing along with it, smiling as he cleans his glasses.
i remember when he did commercials for his products
My former Mentor, I miss him.
Thank you very much for posting an entertaining WML.
Such a gentleman. RIP
RIP Vidal Sassoon
Fought in the 1948 Israel was for independence - and dedicated his life to the eradication of antisemitism. What a man
The Nakba?
Gorgeous man RIP
IT'S SASSOON
Well V. Sassoon cut Mia Farrows hair for Rosemarys Baby... Doubtful he was going to say it looked like crap...
Vidal Sassoon spent seven years in a Jewish orphanage and his mother was only allowed to visit once a month.
Wish I looked like him
RIP Vidal
I wonder if the show's writers might have written the introduction for her.

Judging by his string of marriages (4 in total), I think it DID get him into trouble
@romeman01 Not her intention to be offensive? It couldn't have been her intention to flatter, which an introduction should do.
handsome
It was most likely a written intro that she read, so if anyone p.o.'d him it should have been the writers
where did you get that information?
What year was this show???
@soulierinvestments Looks like she was just joking. She gave a little wink there.

Well if he was upset I doubt he would have reacted and caused a scene right on stage.
Oh, he was pi$$ed alright! Cerf's comment "Here is the very last word on water pollution, callipygian damsels, and panel moderation, John Daly" says it all. He was putting her in her place. He knew that Daly would side with him.
@oceanbound222 Really? Great!

Mr. Morgan is like a Dementor from Harry Potter. He just sucks the joy and fun out of a room.
Don’t be silly. He is very entertaining.
Morrgan not Sassoon. Sassoon is a hero, see a previous comment.

Good grief, Mr. Morgan. Can you be any more fragile? 4:04
And they say snowflakes are a modern thing. Ha.
It certainly does not seem to me that Gypsie Rose Lee's intention was to be offensive. But it is very easy, in attempting to be funny, to say things that are taken in a different spirit than they were intended.
She was a generally irritating and inconsiderate person, so I don’t think she cared.
great episode and I'm surprised he was not recognized by the women on the panel...until Morgan's question. And he was an unpleasant, stick up the ass staple of talk shows like Merv Griffin's.
really? he seemed quite agreeable and nice on this episode.
he wasn’t popular enough to know by sight?
Remember that the media then was much less extensive than now, and this was relatively near the beginning of his fame. His name was known but any photos in articles he was mentioned it would have been of his work, not him.
His face wasn’t popular, his work was. That was when talent was a thing.
0:28 Gypsy Rose Lee's insult of Bennett Cerf so upset the producers that they never asked her back to the program ever EVER. No class on her part.
She was awful in every appearance anywhere.
@@icturner23 as a guest she was a hoot!
Gypsy Rose Lee ..boring...lmao
Morgan thinks he is the greatest
If he's a world famous hair stylist, why is he sporting a Jim Carrey Dumb and Dumber haircut?
Nondescript That "Jim Carrey" haircut and other similar styles made him a very very wealthy and famous man.
Well then that explains everything.
Nondescript Not quite. It doesn't explain your lack of joined up thinking. "If he's a world famous hair stylist ,why is he sporting a Jim Carrey Dumb and Dumber haircut?" What the hell does one thing have to do with the other?
@@NondescriptMammal How’s your own hair salon doing?
