What I so enjoy about these episodes is the impeccable manners of all concerned. The guests and panelists are addressed as Miss/Mrs/Mr. The gentlemen stand up to shake hands, the ladies remain seated (unless a lady guest is much older), Mr Daly helps the ladies to be seated, it is just wonderful to see people treat each other with such natural courtesy.
Esther Williams was an athletic swimmer before she engaged in more picturesque swimming for the entertainment world. Before she graduated HS in 1939, she set national records, won three U.S. championships and was likely to make the U.S. Olympic team in 1940, missing out on that experience when WWII caused the Olympic Games to be cancelled. The summer games had originally been scheduled for Tokyo and then moved to Helsinki before the plug was pulled completely.
First time seeing this episode and I don't recall ever watching an Esther Williams movie, but WOW she sure is fun... now I have to catch her movies.. I like her... great mystery guest...

Not only was Esther Williams a champion athlete and movie star, she was also funny and drop dead gorgeous..

Esther Williams was a beautiful woman...
John Daly really loves those conferences when the mystery guest is someone who looks like Esther Williams. Lol.
Between Esther and the poultry oculist, this might be the best episode ever.
Arlene Francis: He teaches them how to cross the street! 😆 😆 😆 😆 OH that killed me!!!
Dorothy is so charming in her brilliance.
Esther Williams is so charming here.
Esther Williams~Gorgeous!!!
Miss Williams was beautiful, engaging, and had a wonderful sense of humor.
The first contestant looked so serious. When he passed by the panel, Arlene said "Cheer up mr Nadler you gonna enjoy it!"
Esther Williams....damn what a delightful entertaining young lady here!!! Oh baby I am in love LOL
Esther Williams did two of the most funny mystery guest appearances of the 1950s. "Do you object?" Certainly not me.
this is one of the funniest episodes I have watched

The look of the panel when Mr. Daily reaviled what the first constant did, (makes eye glasses for chickens), was priceless
Esther Williams has one of the best personalities ever to appear on What's My Line. Outstanding, the complete and totally beautiful woman
Esther is beautiful!
Esther, what a beauty!
