I like how the cameraman always focused on each of the four panelists to show their expressions when they find out what the line was of a contestant.
What a fabulous show. Everyone from the brilliant articulate presenter John Daly to all the wonderful panel made this show so entertaining and uplifting. Bravo to all.
I’ve had the good fortune of meeting and interviewing Jack Jones when he was in his early forties. Wonderful to speak with, great singer with a wonderful, soaring tenor voice with a very appealing timbre. One of my favorite jazz and ballad singers ever.
Me too..
I hate it when Dorothy squeals and makes a scene.
@@judylutz1702oh relax
@@edmundpower1250 Thanks for the suggestion! Dorothy was a camera hog.
Jack is one of the best. Very talented.
JJ is my cousin by Marriage. I never met him but, spent many Christmases with his father Alan Jones. He used to play his movies and give us the back stories on making these wonderful films. He was truly one of a kind and a true gentleman. I sure his son was the same.
Alan Jones was treated badly by the entertainment industry.
I love that the show didn’t cut away to deal with the small fire. Everyone stayed calm. How small it stayed also is a testament to the quality of the material used to build that panel. It was the same with housefires in those days. They took forever to spread, whereas housefires today spread so rapidly because of cheap materials used.
I just love Martin Gabel. He is so intelligent and dry witted.
@gcjerryusc Have you noticed that the panel appears to have forgotten Fred's comments about the proper language to use during the introductions? They consistently say "on my left". Fred insisted that the correct formulation was "to my left".
A very funny guy.
I was impressed that he used the word metier in his questioning of Jack Jones. One rarely ears that word anymore.
'I am the modest, shy, and retiring member of our family."
I loved Jack Jones’ version of The Love Boat. ❤️🛥
Saw him in Pittsburgh's Twin Coaches the following night. Joan Rivers opened for him.
Got to speak with both of them after the show. Both of them were just starting their careers, especially Joan, so this was a supper club engagement.
Jack Jones -what a classy good looking guy and all he wanted to do was sing and sing and sing. I think he is STILL out there at it.
Yes, he is still out there, singing up a storm. You can find out a lot about him at Jack Jones ~ "The Singers Singer" ~ The Jack Jones Fan Page, my tribute page to him. I'm proud to say that Jack's a member there too.
@@fasbc Great! I'm checking it out.
A couple years ago I attended crooner Jack's 80th birthday performance party at Catalina's Bar and Grill in Hollywood. He still sings brilliantly!
@poetcomic1
It's February 6, 2023, and he's _still_ with us. He celebrated his 85th birthday on January 14, 2023.
Paula La Cross's father was real famous as a knife thrower. He performed with stars and over seas. He retired in 1990 at age 76.
Boy, Jack Jones was very handsome!
Now now keep it in your pants
I love Arlene and Dorothy double teaming the bubble bath guy!
Very handsome is Mr Jones
Jack Jones just got better with age. Frank Sinatra sang his praises more than once.
not sure I'd want that mafia wannabe singing my praises 🤢🤢🤮
@@Marcel_Audubon What are you, prejudiced or something?
@@user-rh2io7gm1l prejudiced against people who align themselves with criminal organizations? why yes, I am, dearie
Why are you BRAINLESS?
Martin Gabel: "I am the modest, shy, retiring member of our family." :-) 7:44
Martin Gabel: " As Somerset Maughan once said 'Thinking is like pushing trunks around in your head', I've reached that point." 9:03
@Johan Bengtsson - Martin Gabel also said on this show at 3:17 after John thanked him for coming, "John, other people work harder for their money in dustier places. I am delighted to be here." This after 8 shows a week as Prof. Moriarty in "Baker Street" on Broadway. He was my kind of man and human. Realistic, humble.
@@philippapay4352 Agreed! And he and Arlene had a wonderful, true marriage of friends and souls.:)
I like Martin Gabel. I always like the shows in which he fills in for Bennett Cerf.
I like Martin's humble observation about his work conditions. Nice work if you can get it -- and remember your lines. For the first time in WML history, Bennett mentions a hotel -- Olympic Hotel, Seattle -- that I actually stayed at. Years ago when I visited the King Tut Exhibit.
Martin is genuinely sweet to Dorothy about her deducting abilities, which makes me wonder if the other panelists were being rude to her (she wasn't well-liked by the others) or she was being talked about before the show.
Jack Jones was a hottie.
I can't believe John kept talking through all of that - a fire.
My Cousin married Alan Jones in the mid-sixties which I had the pleasure of meeting several times. Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of meeting his son or Irene Hervey- one of my favorite actresses of all times.
Dorothy had just six months left to live, Bennett had six years, Martin had 21 years left, and Arlene had a whopping 36 years left.
That is a darling hairdo Ms Kilgalen has. I love how the flips flair out. Makes her look like a little girl though. Lol!
The highlight for me is at 21:30 when Bennett skats "Downtown." Speechless. For those friends who know nothing of this 1965 hit -- refer to your favorite musical distributor for Petula Clark and Downtown.
Sounded like Morse code. :)
i didn't agree with his classifying "Downtown" as a Rock & Roll song
(a) I have a hard time reconciling DOWNTOWN with the genre ofRock & Roll.
(b) Cerf demonstrates once again what a close-minded buffoon resistant to change he is!
You mean "closed-minded". You phrased it as if someone is next to him in thinking!
soulierinvestments Have we really reached that point where we have to consider that people watching this don't know the major hits of the sixties? Surely not!! What's next? Background info for people who don't know Bacharach and Motown?!? If so, maybe they're at a loss with the mystery guests too!
Dorothy's hair was a style on the way out.
1965 was when Cher became a star with that long straight styling.
Hard to picture Dorothy with long, black straight hair.
Dorothy had only 6 months left to live here.
Arlene's reference to Louisville, KY is because the day before at the Kentucky Derby there was a fire in the stands. Luckily no one was injured and it was put out before any significant damage was done.
I remember Tinkerbell bubble bath, used it as a child.
I don't think I've ever seen Jack Jones so young
Agree - -I thought he had blonde hair - -I guess it was just gray!
Jack Jones was quite funny, and quite handsome. Great to see him!
What a nice attitude Martin Gavel has. Others work harder in whether places. Classy.
You certainly learn a lot about people when there is a fire. John plays the hero with his glass of water. Bennett is standing over it practically with his nose in the smoke. And tough reporter Dorothy stands about as far as she can get away from it with her back against the backdrop. Of course, Dorothy once had a house fire, so that may account for it. Thank heaven the fire did not happen when they were blindfolded. Some could have gotten burned.
You should never pour water on an electrical fire!
I would've done what Dorothy did. Who knows it may have exploded? And they have stage technicians, after all. Daly's response could've been a disaster if what Arlene says was true at that point.
What a silly overanalysis. It’s not like she ran screaming out of the theatre. They all took it very calmly.
Refreshingly modern to be have the sponsorship by or announcement about a mental-health organization.
We could actually do without it.
Now I just advance the video whenever corn ball cerf introduces Daly. I feel much better.
Now now don't show your true colours... be nice for once!
Jack Jones father was the singer-actor Allan Jones, who has a connection to the Marx Brothers. MGM producer Irving Thalberg brought Allan into "A Night at the Opera" as the new straight man to the brothers. Thalberg cast him and future WML panelist Kitty Carlisle to give the regular people in the audience someone to identify with. The "New Yorker" film critic famously said of that idea: " What *people* " "A Night at the Opera" ends with a sensational sequence of Allan and Kitty singing the love aria of Verdi's"Il trovatore,"
Not to mention that the Marx Brothers almost tore the whole opera building down... and that it is the funniest movie about opera I've seen! :)
It does to "Il Trovatore" what should be done to Il Trovatore.
Wonder who Dorothy had in mind when she asked if he was over 6'2"...That's an awfully specific number!
In a different time frame, Jack Jones could have sung to Arlene and Martin, "Love won't hurt anymore, it's an open smile on a friendly shore."
Jack Jones father Allan Jones was a well know star of song and movies and was still rather youngish when his son Jack was MG (he was 57). He is now best remembered as the romantic straight man to the Marx Brothers in their first two Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer films: A Night at the Opera (in which he starred with Kitty Carlisle) and A Day at the Races. He re-teamed with Kitty Carlisle in Larceny with Music a "B" at Universal in 1943.
Jack Jones sang the theme to the TV-series"The Love Boat".
Johan Bengtsson That's right! I knew I knew his name from somewhere. He had a hilarious cameo singing the Love Boat theme in "Airplane II".
What's My Line? Jack Jones has always been one of my singer of standards who kept the art alive (along with Tony Bennett) with new material, not relying on just the hits.
Joe Postove I have always admired Jack Jones precisely for not relying on the hits, good!
So basically Allan Jones replaced Zeppo in the Marx Brothers movie franchise.
Many movies employ something known as comic relief. The classic Marx Brothers movies needed to give audiences a break from the madcap comedy. Here are Jones and Carlisle showing off operatic voices as they sing a love song to each other and Carlisle tries to get her opera impresario interested in hiring Jones. And there are brief moments of Chico, Harpo and Groucho, lest the music has gone on too long and one forgets the stars of the movie, "A Night at the Opera".

Martin is so thin!!! Arlene doesn't seem to be feeding him.
Where's Gertrude Berg when you need her?
I wonder if he dieted to play Professor Moriarty. He certainly looked very different in preceding episodes.
He was playing a role.
This was the year that the Lesley Ann Warren version of Cinderella was first aired. Jack Jones tried out for the part of the prince, but Richard Rodgers did not like the way Jones tried to "jazz up" the songs. Rodgers wanted them sung exactly as written. The part went to Stuart Damon.
I remember watching that.
@@sandrageorge3488I do, too. It was a big deal. I was a kid but I still got a big crush on Lesley Ann Warren. And I remember it being presented by Greer Garson.
Re the second contestant who lived in Teaneck and worked in Northvale: both towns are in Bergen County (NJ) and for most of my life I have lived one county north of it. I often travel through that area to get to NYC (usually by train these days, but by bus through Northvale and Teaneck 35-45 years ago when I lived in the eastern part of my county. Our house was built by contractors who lived in Northvale and I had a temp job at a children's book distribution warehouse in that borough, not far from where the second contestant's business was located. Northvale was also where my dad and I would go to fill up our gas tanks because taxes on gasoline have been historically lower in NJ than in NY. There are auto mechanics on the NY side of the border, but you have to go about 5 miles north to find a gas station that actually sells gas. Plus NJ still requires an attendant to pump the gas but even with the added cost of labor, it is still cheaper in NJ.
Teaneck is also where my freshman roommate in college went to high school. I currently have friends who live there. But these are populated areas. My closest connection to a non-celebrity challenger on WML was the aunt of someone I went to middle school with.
Five months to go and I'm yet to see any 'decline' (as people call it) in Kilgallen whatsoever.
The whole purpose of being a target in a knife throwing act is NOT to handle the knife and NOT to come in contact with it. Ladies, am I wrong? And besides, technically, she is not the target, the area around her is. But there I go, being all so technical again.
No, the apple on her head would be. :-)
***** And throws them back to her "friend"?
As Bennett suggested, he and John should do an act like that. But both of them wanted to threw the knives. :)
Perhaps she pulled them out of the backdrop after the act is over and retrieved them to her father.
😊
the bubble bath guy was proud of his motto "The family that bathes together plays together," YUUUUUCCCCCCH!
I think he said "stays together"... no offence intended.
@@washoe4827 TOGETHER seems to be the yucky operative word here.
@@poetcomic1 extraordinary comment
You save water usage in a water crises by bathing together.
When did the general decline in behaviour and standards begin?
When you were born, obviously.
@@RonGerstein is that genuinely all you can do? Insult people?
@peternagy-im4be You CRITISIZED the program so-called decline in behavior and standards. My reaction is that it must have started when you were "born." If you do not like my answer, then you should not have made your stupid comment in the first place, Mr. Brainless.
Cerf is entirely OBSESSED with animals !!! Good lord
I love the Martin/Arlene banter when Martin is on the show.
He seems really tired or sick here though. I'm guessing it had to do with his play.
oldfart4751
I know. I'm saying he looked out of it in this episode.
oldfart4751
You misunderstood what I said. When I said I was guessing I had to do with the play,I meant It as he was tired because I assumed he he was possible sick or maybe a show that night and was just tired.
Purple Capricorn I am watching this and came here to see if he had cancer or had had a stroke. Does anyone know why he looked so frail?
Martin deliberately lost weight and grew his thinning hair into a comb-back style in order to play Professor Moriarty in Baker Street. Do a search for the original Sidney Paget illustrations to the Holmes stories; his picture of a gaunt Moriarty is clearly the image that Gabel is emulating.
With "Limited" as part of the company name, it is not surprising that Tom Fields Ltd. in NJ was the U.S. subsidiary of a UK company. In addition to making bath products, they also made scents (perfume and cologne) and cosmetics. Founded in 1952, the company at some point was acquired by MEM International, Inc. but that company is either gone or it has completely changed its product line to the aerospace industry. I was surprised that Disney let them get away with using the Tinkerbell name, but perhaps it was because the product name was originally trademarked in the UK. Disney Enterprises was eventually able to acquire the name in 1982. I presume that Tom Fields Ltd. went under around then.

23:26 You can hear Bennett faintly say "fire".
Arlene looks gorgeous.
Second contestant Who is it [ 17:00 ] Arlene or Dorothy who seems a little too enthusiastic about gin and beer bubble bath? Osmosis, huh. Who says this program is only funny and not educational?
Not me. I've learned, among other vitally important facts, that Anthony Perkins lost his address book out of a helio-copter in Europe.
What's My Line? Somewhere over the Greek Islands! Invaluable information. :)
Harrison Ford is still searching for that address book as we speak.
Jack Jones is the son of the great singer/actor Alan Jones, famous for the Marx Brothers movie "A Night at the Opera."
Teaneck New Jersey, otherwise known as that place where Interstate 80 ends.
LOL It's all a matter of perspective. I think of Teaneck as where Interstate 80 begins. I live one county north of Teaneck. The directions from my house to San Francisco are basically to get on Interstate 287 south to Interstate 80 west and then drive for 2900 miles!
Teaneck is the home of some current friends and the former home of my freshman roommate in college (who graduated from Teaneck HS. When I worked in NYC for a few years, my commuter bus route took me through Teaneck. I'd be very wealthy by now if I had a dollar for every time I went through Teaneck in the 1970's and invested it prudently.
@@loissimmons6558 Teaneck, NJ is where The Nelson Family hailed from. (Ozzie, Harriet, David & Ricky)
I don'y think Jack Jones was recognizable on sight, hence the rather languid response when he came in.
Well, at least he got a standing ovation from the panel during his exit 😂
Was Arlene wearing a bow as a mask during the mystery guest segment. Or was it a bandage (who knows what goes during commercials?).
+Joe Postove
At first I thought she had resurrected Dorothy's old mask that tied in the back. But it turned out she simply had a new bow, while sitting next to her old beau.
Martin looks seriously ill here.
See my reply to Purple Capricorn above....
He lost a lot of weight a while ago for his seemingly demanding role as Moriarty. Rather too quickly.
He was a method actor getting ready for a role
@@davidsanderson5918 probably. A lot of loose skin in the neck area.
I think he looks better thinner.
I wonder why Jack never transitioned into the movies, he sure had all requirements.
except one - he wasn't an actor
@@Marcel_Audubon😂😂😂
And he had Joan Rivers preceding him at Twin Coaches- Pittsburgh.
They were weirdly calm about the fire. That’s really worrisome to have an electrical fire on the set right next to the panelists!!
Nothing to worry about.
I thought his voice was better than his father's, Alan Jones.
This is the second episode in a row with a notable lack of wolf whistles at the young ladies who sign their names. Does this indicate a cultural shift in the practice? Or will it be back to the old ways again starting next episode?
Just my general opinion, but with every passing national tragedy of the 1960's, the old school of ring-a-ding-ding rat pack Sinatra-type behavior seemed to take a sock in the gut.
@@shuroom57 nice point
Still trying to figure how John put out an electrical fire with WATER? Dangerous!
No worries and no problem.
Arlene is whats known now as a cougar..yeoww
Both Dorothy and Arlene are lovely, but when I remember that Dorothy was born the same year as my Grandmother and Arlene 6 years earlier, cougars and yeoww are the last thing on my mind.
My relatives and I are on a wild hunt to find any distant relatives that may be living in the USA. As the female "target" in the knife-throwing act, Paula La Cross was only about 18 years old in 1965. My maternal grandfather's name was originally "La Cross"/La Crosse," and he came from Mons, Belgium. Therefore, I'm wondering whether Miss La Cross may be a distant relative of ours. *Any information would be greatly appreciated!*
Have you tried ancestry dot com? When I retired a few years ago, I got a good deal for a six month trial and found a wealth of information about my ancestors. It's too expensive for me without that deal, so I canceled after the six months. Might be worth a try, though.

The next episode will be a sign of things to come:
Soupy Sales in his first appearance on anything "What's My Line?".
Two of the exchanges during Soupy's appearance went something along the lines of: "Is your program a variety show?" "You MIGHT call it that. I wouldn't, but YOU might." "Is your show an hour in length?" "No, it just seems that way."
romeman01
Lol!
The Mouse song was a genuine hit, selling a million copies.
GSN: Two things do not add up in your posting of WML: "...1965" and "7 years ago" Deliberately deceptive or just lazy proof readers? What year is it n.o.w. in your part of the world?
Other than that, thanks for bringing back What's My Line.
Is it me or do Jack Jones and Bing Russell (Kurt Russell's dad) look like brothers?
I vaguely remember Jack Jones as a singing guest star on other people's t.v shows but he never lived up to the praise which Frank Sinatra is quoted in this episode to have given him. One puzzle of watching these shows in 2019 is working out who the mystery guests were and for what they were famous. Some are still well-known but many are long forgotten, especially beautiful actresses who probably had a short career in films before being replaced by a younger model. Sic transit gloria mundi.
One reason why he perhaps didn't live up to Sinatra's praise is that Sinatra definitely kept an ear out for what Jones was doing. Jack Jones recorded "Strangers in the Night" a month before Sinatra did. Sinatra heard it and rushed out his own version to beat Jones' ability to release the song as a single. Supposedly Sinatra hated the song but knew a hit. It became Sinatra's first #1 hit in many years and his album "Strangers in the Night" was the most commercially successful he had ever recorded. If Jones had had the hit with "Strangers in the Night," he might have had a much more successful career.
@@preppysocks209 Perhaps another reason that Jack Jones didn't gain so much fame compared to Sinatra was his easy, good boy-next-door image. Personally, I loved Jack's singing, although it was always Sinatra's that grabbed my gut!
Jack Jones was married Six times according to wioipedia
Kept trying to get it right.
Unhappy fellow
Not a tremendous amount of wives considering he is over 85 years old.
Nice man
His other obsession is PUPPETS...HE'S a puppet !!
The panel wasn't sharp and got stuck on Miss Lacrosse. #Cerfing
Since when was Petulia Clark singing "Downtown" a rock and roll song?? LOL.... Oh Bennett!
Actually Tony Hatch had originally intended the song as a soul ballad for The Drifters. The song was inspired by Hatch's first trip to NYC and his immersion in the bright lights and nightlife of young adults. (He thought he was in the downtown section of Manhattan when he was actually in Midtown near Times Square, but downtown was probably better for the lyrics, anyway.)
On his return to Europe, Hatch and Clark, who had been working together on and off for a few years, met to preview music that NYC music publishers were offering to Miss Clark to use during an upcoming recording session.
She was lukewarm towards the material and asked Hatch if he was working on something. "Downtown" was still in its early stages as far as the lyrics were concerned but he played it for her and she was enthusiastic about recording it.
Hatch has stated that the final product was a concerted effort on his part to give the song enough of a beat to appeal to young listeners while not turning off her loyal fans from over the years (her first chart hit was 15 years earlier). He was still tinkering with the lyrics in the washroom 30 minutes before Petula recorded it in October 1964. He also said that he had to arrange the song so a full orchestra sounded like a rock band. So the song is not "crosstown" but it is a crossover fusion of rock, pop and R&B.
And it certainly appealed to a variety of audiences. Because it didn't fit one particular genre, UK record execs sat on the record for a few weeks. It was the Warner Brothers head of A&R (artists and repertoire) in the U.S. who was looking for British music (the British invasion was still in full swing) that jumped on the song.
Joe Smith was spot on. The song reached #2 on the British charts (beaten out by The Beatles "I Feel Fine") and it was the first #1 hit of 1965 in the States. It was also the first #1 song in the U.S. by a British female in the rock and roll era. (And only the second ever.)
The Drifters didn't record it, but R&B vocalist Stacy Ladislaw did (a disco version in 1979).
What genre is the song? Listeners ultimately didn't care.
czcams.com/video/Zx06XNfDvk0/video.html
For the time, I could see where he might think that.
But I suppose you can say exactly what is or isn’t trap, grime, reggaeton or anything else?
At 23:50, when Bennett sits down after shaking JJ's hand, you can see a large puff of smoke against his dark-colored jacket.
He died in 1971 from cancer.
Why is it from Louisville Kentucky?
K E N T U C K Y D E R B Y
23:50 what happened? how did a (minor) fire start?
If I were a target in a knife throwing act I would also recite...The Lord's Prayer.
Do you think wives and lovers would even be allowed today?
17:22 A harsher in hindsight moment?
Of all the singers in all the joints in the US why would BC ask if he had parents in show biz?
Because he already thought it was him and that was his way of checking.
Martin looks awful in this episode. was he ill?
+Janet Williams He lost a lot of weight, by design as far as I know, yet he looks horrible. Instead of it making him look slim and trim, he looks gaunt and sickly.
+Jeff Vaughn If you do a Google Image search on "Moriarty Paget" you'll see how Professor Moriarty was depicted by Sidney Paget, the original illustrator of the Holmes stories. Martin's gaunt look and long-in-back hairdo are clearly modeled on Paget's drawings. I agree it's not a very flattering look for him in private life, but I'm sure it was effective on stage.
Another Double-Up.
Earlier that same night the September 5 show was recorded.
Why doesn't the chauvinist just ask if she is married?
You ask a woman if she is married SOLELY to determine if you should call her MISS or MRS.
I wonder if Dorothy noticed that while Bennett would often blow Arlene a kiss upon entering, she never got one.
I've never seen him blow a kiss to Dorothy, anyway
No loss...for sure...I would have liked to tell him what he could DO with his kisses
Martin looks too weak to keep up with Arlene!
I never heard of Jack Jones
He sang the LOVE BOAT THEME, brainless
When the bubble bath guy's line was shown on screen, I immediately thought of Anita Gillette completely disrobed, soothing herself in a nice bath of bubbles. With a glass of bubbly in her hand. So sue me!

(A lot of interesting actors in this clip from "All in the Family", including what appears to be a cameo by Richard Dawson.)
I wonder if Dorothy just combusted spontaneously and the fire hilarity ensued?
Jack Jones was absolutely gorgeous when young..Guess what.? He still is in 2019.
+Joe Postove
At first I thought she was backing off because her shoulder was still too vulnerable to receive a hug. Then they said there was a fire. Not something usually seen on WML.
Dorothy. Hair. Yikes!!!
Looks horrible didn't hair and makeup help her with it.
So what? Everyone has bad hair days or tries new styles that don’t work.
Small things amuse small minds...

Shut up
IT IS RIGGED..producers used gambitting
How do idiots like you live in the USA without being put in prison.
Martin looks a bit unhealthy here. Lost some weight in his face.
He lasted until 1976.
These are the finest people that ever lived , bur they were rock and roll biggots .
Is a ‘biggot’ a bigger bigot? But being conservative about a music genre is NOT bigotry and it’s offensive of you to misuse the word. Bigotry is discrimination or prejudice against people because of their fundamental characteristics.
@@icturner23 I think you are right about that ,I missed used the word , they were great people and the world needs more people of their quality , I stand corrected .
Bennet cerf is a complete drag
Bennett Cerf was not just a drag...but a drag queen
He knew a lot of celebrities!!!
Biggest publisher in town....
I'm sorry, but Arlene is a little too old here to be dressed like a French can-can girl.
I know. Dorothy does that too
