I’m a millennial and don’t recognize many of the famous guests and I thoroughly enjoy this show! Mr. Daly was very clever, funny, & witty! Great panel and a very interesting show. Love it!
No actually war babies. Original rock-and-rollers hearing the crooners as children and then American Bandstand fans, graduating from high school in 1960. It was great fun seeing the first Elvis Presley movies and enjoying teenage dances. Our own culture.
@TheEmp48 Cerf had issues. He appeared to be very self-centered, He always thought he correct when misunderstanding the question/answer, and arguing with John. Check out Famous Writers School.
In addition to his fame in the entertainment field, George Jessel was known for something else on a more personal level. He was apparently extremely well endowed.
Mr. Nam was quite an interesting guest. His grasp of the english language was wonderful and he had a great sense of humor! Mrs. Clark certainly had an interesting job! George was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
I grew up watching W M L I still laugh now at the spontaneous responses more than 60 years later given by these talented and intelligent regulars. How l wish we could enjoy the same quality TV programs today instead of the trash the networks feed the public today!!!!!
John Daly had a wonderful sense of humor and an impressive grasp of the use of the English language. We should all be as educated as John Daly. Props to JD all the way, as he made it look easy! 🥰👏👏👏
Jessel didn't even bother disguising his voice. He was famous as Hollywood's head toastmaster for various banquets and gatherings. He also is widely credited with renaming the young Frances Ethel Gumm - Judy Garland.
If you think John Daly was not a good host, remember he was primarily a journalist for ABC and the television medium was new in the 1950s so the format was still experimental on live TV. Ralph Edwards was a very nervous host for the This is Your Life show he created but it was still a good show the whole family could watch.
Bennett assumes alot. Like insisted the superintendent worn a uniform as John explained in his great fashion, (that no one said it was a uniform).although benntt was right, if it were coveralls he still would have gotten him the same answer... no ! Which left him with no information at all. And the prison misunderstanding on his part. That may be why he questions the answers he gets? He's not listening to others. Or it's more about air time, like when he poses with his fist in face when he speaks, like 5 years old first portrait!? Dorothy is a whip! And doesn't mind being embarrassed !

Dana Andrews was involved in another odd panel arrangement of WML dating from roughly this period -- a panel of three men and one woman in which Johnny Carson at the end got to introduce John Daly. I thought the John Weekly punch line was pretty funny. Eunice Gayson is a good panelist -- too bad she did not appear more often.
I met Georgie Jessel at Contemporary Books in Chicago. We were publishing his autobiography. He said he could not drink anything except brandy and ate only appetizers.
I googled "Finch Trial" and discovered that there were three such trials..The first ran from January,1960 until March,. 1960; the second from June,1960 until November 1960 and the third from January until March 1961. The first two trials resulted in mistrials and the third resulted in conviction . This installment must have been originally shown in 1960 or 1962.
No, he said that she must have been a tiny little girl and that's why he couldn't remember her. In other words, he is indirectly complimenting her on her looks as a woman.
As stated this was shortly after the war and RoK was still a dictatorship. Lots of the politicians from this era knocked each other off. I find it interesting he wrote his name in Hanja not Hangul (which is standard now).
It never ceases to amaze me that anytime the contestant just happens to be a woman, some idiots in the audience feel the need to wolf whistle! My how times have changed!
A much earlier comment describes John Daly as a 'dud'. If you only watch this episode, I partly agree but I've seen many other episodes in which he is superb. Here he 'spills the beans' too soon by mentioning monkeys before the panel have guessed the animals involved. He should have cut into the rambling, time-wasting Eunice Gayson by asking her to put one question but perhaps he was too gentlemanly to interrupt her confused talk. Also, he went too far in teasing Bennet Cerf. I think the two guests on the panel were duds and it made for an unbalanced, disappointing episode.
Korean personal names were traditionally written using Hanja, or Chinese characters, at least through the Korean War.. It’s still relatively common in signatures, I believe. Children still learn 1,800 Hanja in middle and high school.
It is a shame how Bennett Cerf constantly behaved in such an egotistical, privileged way. I used to read his books, inteligent and amusing. Then he attempted to cheat his way as a panelist, always having a problem with one or more answers he was given, only to find out he misunderstood. His "speech impediment" wasn't one, this is apparently the "Westchester" accent, when he could not pronounce "r" or "l", he basically had marbles in his mouth, and he would berate people that could not articulate, sorry, that is "awtikuate". I, when I was six years old, took speech therapy to correct my "r", accomplished in a few months, but took a year for the lashes on my back to heal. 😂 I had a speech impediment, he attempted to have "cwass", and criticized others. Furthermore his corrupt business practices fell heavily on any ethics anyone thought he ever had. No other panelist had such issues. This is a guy I respected as a kid, with all his wonderful puns. It's a shame when reality hits home. Unrelated to Cerf, Dorothy was murdered, possibly related to JFK/RFK/Oswald/Ruby/mafia reporting. She was a great reporter, way ahead of her time. More info is now available about her death.
Gee, I always thought Bennett was real down to earth, friendly, and welcoming. He was just very intelligent and knowledgeable; why hide that? I never thought he acted like he felt he was superior in any way.
@@lesliehoncharik1289 Check out the Famous Writers School, and his quotes. He was constantly attempting to argue about his treatment with/by John.

"Raconteur" is not a high-brow term. It's someone who can tell a good story. It's no more high brow than chauffeur or champagne or any other French word which is used by English speakers.

Elmer Fudd makes his usual inane comment/question at the close of the Korean Superintendent's appearance, then looks appropriately ashamed, like a small child, and, again, the director "framed" him looking stupid !
Jon, I’ve been power watching these episodes. Your comment about Elmer Fudd made me laugh so hard. At first I admired him, but the more shows I watched the more bewildered I became. It amazes me that he received probably hundreds of recognitions throughout his working career. Sometimes you are in the right place at the right time.
For such “allegedly” sophisticated people - they were really terrible snobs. If it wasn’t about Nightclubbing , caviar, or anything New York, they were clueless. Dorothy is a good example knowing nothing about animals, everyone regarding country life, etc. Love them all regardless !
Ha! In 1969 at the age of 10, I went to game 3 of the Mets/Orioles World Series, and my Dad had passes to the club they had at Shea Stadium. We were in line for food, and none other than George Jessel cuts in front of my dad. He was pissed but polite and didn't say anything, but on the drive home he had a few choice words for Jessel's lack of manners.

Celisar1 - Actually considering the year this was broadcast there was a fair amount of diversity on this program. Watch more episodes and remember that this was probably in the late 50s or early 60s
I gotta say that John Daly was so bad at what he did. I've never seen a host of a program with such little natural humor. That said, I've always been a fan of the show, just unfortunate that he was such an enormous dud.
he was very humorous, but since he is uber-intelligent his remarks probably flew right over your head! and on the show, who do you think is funnier than him?
Beginning the questioning of the monkey handler John said “we begin appropriately with Bennett.” If you didn’t think it was clever then you missed John’s humor.
Those WML names defined in full (continued) Daly - (i) An extremely verbose fellow. (ii) Mildly creepy, especially around beautiful young women (iii) A corn merchant.
Does nobody here care about the monkeys? Some ‘cute young lady’ looks after them before they are tortured. Animal experimentation is disgusting then and now.
