- A clear color video of Bennett Cerf as a mystery Guest on the day time version of What’s my line. Watch to the end and you will see Bennett and Arlene Francis Greet each other after the show. 1968
- Komedie
When Bennet walks out .. and the audience goes crazy ... I get the feeling that I'm seeing a dear old friend whom I have not seen in a while. What a life this guy lived!
It does hurt that all these fabulous people have been dead for long.
Brilliant, witty, classy and then just gone.
Brilliant businessman, famous punster, and a terrific game player. Personalities like Mr. Cerf don't exist anymore.
You’re forgetting Gyles Brandreth.
Nope and never will again, America in the late 1960s when people had respect, manners and were decent especially in public!!!!!
Bennett's voice is unmistakable. Even disguised.
He was such a nice person, I loved him. And I love Arlene and it was so nice to see them back together again!
Ah.... That was a treat.
Gawn Grainger is one lucky ducky to be sitting between lovely Phyllis Newman and wonderful Arlene Francis
Interestingly the copyright on the broadcast is “Columbia Broadcast System”
I cannot stand Wally Bruner, He answers everything in most of the questions. The apparently were so happy when he left.
You had to say that, now every time he answers it bothers me! Why does he feel the need to say yes or no each time?!
Too bad John Daly never did this show.
Why didn't Wally flip the cards?
This isnt from 60s
WML 1.0 ended in 1967 and then it turned into a weird shadow of its former self. So there were at least two years in the 60s that this was plausible. Then a quick Google search shows this was in 1968. Flip a card...
at the end of the clip it says copyright 1968
@@mikemillwood1564 ok. It looks very 70s
@@merricat3025couldn't be that 70s,as BC died in 1971🎩
Yes it is 1968. After ending in 1967, the show became a daytime daily show in 1968.
Unfortunately the show deteriorated badly in it's new run. A pale shadow of it's former self. Gandy, loud and decidedly unwatchable. Probably sums up society which unfortunately these days is absolutely awful.
Look at Phyllis's mask. It doesn't prevent her from seeing...
I believe she was Cerf's wife.
In any case - From Wikipedia:"
" According to Cerf, the panel could often determine the identities of the mystery guests early, as they knew which celebrities were in town, or which major movies or plays were about to open. On those occasions, to provide the audience an opportunity to see the guest play the game, the panelists and host would typically allow questioning to pass around at least once before coming up with the correct guess. As Cerf admitted in the episode broadcast on November 27, 1966, his wife, Phyllis, was frequently told the name of the mystery guest beforehand".
Different Phyllis. Phyllis Fraser/Phyllis Cerf was Bennett's wife. The panelist here is Phyllis Newman.
Phyllis Cerf was on Whats my line here: watch?v=V_W37pXavkY
@@TVFILMBUFF Thanks ! I watched that. Methinks that Cerf must have known his spouse was one of the first Mystery Guest duo. And being a publisher, he must have known his wife was working with the other gal to write their "games book".
No Phyllis Newman was not Bennetts wife. Although, Mrs Cerf’s first name was Phyllis ….
He was also briefly married to actress Sylvia Sydney during the 1930s.
Phyllis Newman was married to Adolph Green, of the writing team of Comden and Green. Interestingly for most of their professional lives the public thought Betty Comden was married to Green.
there is no end, only new beginnings
