What's My Line had Sir Hillary as a BLINDFOLDED MYSTERY GUEST.

The questioning started out as "The Tom Poston Comedy Show" with that weird, long winded praising of Hillary and joking.

Wow; Lloyd Bridges was strikingly handsome.

Kitty Carlisle's praise of the great Edmund Hillary at 7.07 almost compensates for the jokes concerning his name at the beginning.

I recognized him from the introduction. How is it that the panelists didn't know what he looked like?

Hi! My Mom was a decoy on an episode of To Tell The Truth in 1959. She was pretending to be either a Korean stewardess or a Japanese female pilot. She has passed away now but I am trying to find it now for my Dad. Because after he saw this episode he met my mother and they were married months later for 54 years. Would love to be able to find that episode for him.

This is the second episode I’ve watched with Lloyd Bridges on the panel and I’m beginning to question the man’s intelligence. In the Mt Everest show he asked the contestants how it would help a climber if he had no toes (!). In this episode, he shows his palm and asks if it’s going to rain next week! He might have been a star, but I think he was a bit of a dim bulb.

I find it funny that Bob tells all guests to pick up 2 packs of smokes when they leave, and even to Sir Hillary haha. The plaque and check were very nice. He was also the mystery guest on Whats My Line 3 months prior.

I had guessed Sir Hilary at the start, based off his physique. But, no.1 threw me when he didn’t flinch about the Sherpa’s name and knowing the name of the Teton. Afterwards I looked it up and it is called a “Piton”. Had I known this I would have eliminated him. No. 2 did not look like he could have climbed stairs without stopping after the 3rd floor. He was an easy out.

Sir Edmund Hillary was one of the few people I knew! Funny to think they didn't know him by sight back then.

People may wonder why some on the panel did not recognize Hillary like we would easily pick him out today. There was not the level of network news as there is now, and print was king. One of the main visual news outlets then were newsreels.

Sir Edmund Hillary was a boyhood hero of mine. This show was kind of all over the place due to Tom Poston. Lloyd Bridges was well, not as sharp as I always thought he was. Sorry, Lloyd, just an observation. Kitty looked younger here than I earlier shows. I missed Bud's salute when he was introduced. Not sure about the new format of Bud introducing the panel. Thanks for the video.

He's the only one with a New Zealand accent ffs. is this for real?
