Althea was quite beautiful and multitalented! An impressive woman! Lovely voice 🥰

It's tough enough to compete in sports, especially against elite competition. To succeed with the added pressure of being a trailblazer, while dealing with prejudice and the hopes of your people on your shoulders takes a remarkable champion. To do it with grace takes a remarkable person. Althea Gibson was all those things.

LOVE Althea Gibson. Twenty years later she competed on Superstars on ABC, and did quite well even though she was much older than everyone else.

The year after this appearance, Althea GIbson acted in the John Ford/John Wayne Civil War movie, "Horse Soldiers." Her character was a slave and the screenplay called for her to play the part with a stereotypical dialect. According to TCM, she told Ford that she would not play the character that way and, uncharacteristically, he acceded to her wishes. So far as I can tell, that was her one and only acting performance.

My mother was also name after Ms Gibson. My Grandfather was very big tennis fan in her early days when she played in ATA (American Tennis Association) which was formed at the time because people of color were not allowed in the USTA

The WML panel always extended complete courtesy to various black celebrities that appeared on the show. This was during a time when black people (or the then term "colored") were relegated to either servant or comic/buffoon roles on TV. They were way ahead of their time.

Bennett's question to Althea Gibson presaged the Billie Jean King/Bobby Riggs matchup by about 15 years! Ms. King, memorably, won. Of course Bobby Riggs wasn't one of the ranked Australians that Bennett asked about, but the idea of a men's/ladies' match was already brewing in '58!

Wow, for once I would have had to disqualify myself from a round! As soon as John identified E.D.L. as someone whose full name might give him away, his distinct first, middle, and last name just auto-filled into my head!

It seems quite odd that Dorothy asks Mr. Stone if he considers Alaska to be part of the continental US. Alaska did not become a state until January of 1959. A bizarre requirement of their becoming a state was that they not represent Alaska as part of the Continental US. Years later the phrasing "contiguous US" came into use for the original 48 states. If you find a thin volume labeled as an abridged version of Althea Gibson's biography, be aware that it's bowdlerized. Deleted is her explanation of how she dealt with bullies in Harlem. Her dad had spent a lot of time teaching her boxing. Typically, on the way home, a bully would call her over to "talk" with her. She found she could not outrun them. So she would go over & they would start their usual BS before hitting her. She would then sucker punch them with everything she had! She said she immediately followed up, making every punch count to the max, & not stopping for anything. She related that she won a lot of fights that way!

There are a number of books written about the topic. Her alleged substance abuse rumors were begun to obfuscate the identities of her killers.

It would be easier to call every woman "miss." It would eliminate the seemed intrusion into one's privacy. The female panelists on this program are mostly addressed as "miss" regardless of marital status. As were the female mystery guests. I abhor being addressed by my first name by tradespeople, in medical or dental offices or other business circumstances. My sister doesn't mind being addressed by her first name in medical offices but when my first name is called to let me know it is my turn, I'll bloody wait until they use my last name. When I did that recently, the nurse asked, "well, isn't your name 'Shirley?'". "Yes," I replied, "among my family and friends. It's my first name." Everyone deserves to be addressed by the honorific.

Dorothy insists on a "yes" [pajama woman] but she's wrong. Dorothy asked: "If worn, is it unlikely that it would be seen with a naked eye?" The answer is "No." It's quite likely (the opposite of "unlikely") that it would be seen with a naked eye if worn.

I'm so glad John didn't give in to Dorothy's attempt to gaslight him! Her question was, "If I wore this, would it be *unlikely* that you could see it with the naked eye?" To which the answer was definjtely NO. She repeatedly asserted that because you COULD see it, the answer would be "Yes", which was definitely incorrect! It was very proper of Daly to not argue about it and just jovially flip the card. Still, you could tell she was angry afterward!

Bennett gets more and more annoying - first, telling a guest in a previous show that her beauty was wasted by being a lawyer I believe, and then by trying to say that Althea Gibson isn't as good as a man (trying to diminish her accomplishments - an extra insult as she wasn't paid enough for playing tennis to really cover the cost of living) - what a stuffy, pompous old dinosaur, with that patronising smile, jokes that were rarely funny and an obsessive hatred for rock & roll. There have been many instances where he showed he just didn't respect women very much, including his treatment of Dorothy (not that she wasn't annoying in her own way). Kudos to Ms. Gibson for handling the question with class and to John for the respect he showed in saying she could have a 3rd career as a diplomat.

Well Florence was very very charming.

*_Architect (Designed U.S. Pavilion Brussel's World's Fair_* *_Pajama Model_* *_Harness Race Horse Driver_*

The sexual innuendo was thick in the questions to the pajama model from the male panelist (not cerf). Also Dorothy seemed pissed when John Daly cut her off from her questions of the model.

Bennett Cerf is dubious, not clairvoyant

20:41 "Will the real John Da(i)l(e)y please stand up?" haha

Dorothy K. Can be a pain sometimes.

2:05 "Panel mawdahwaydah." John Daly gets the award for *_Television's Biggest Forehead_* . 18:15 Arlene had her head turned that way to peek through the space between her nose and her mask. She admitted in an interview on Canadian television that she peeked in that manner.

Oh Dorothy was mad.... 15:41

@Markxxx Based on how she asked the question "if I were wearing this, would it be 'unlikely' you could see it with the naked eye" So John's response was completely correct "if you were to wear this it would be 'likely' we could see it with naked eye" Justified no. She has been getting feisty last few episodes.

I have a real soft spot for architects because my late husband was an architect. I really wish they would stop using the term architect when describing a politician. They are not architects.

I guess Arlene didn't have time to do her usual flirting with the handsome young man at the end.

15:35 Dorothy Kilgallen took this game so seriously that it became downright irritating.

Zac M. I agree with you. In this case, she was wrong anyway! Her question was “unlikely seen”, but the answer from John was “likely seen”!

How interesting that Bennett asked this women’s champion about how she would fare against a male competitor. And she replied that “wouldn’t be fair”, then that she “might be able to get a few licks in.” Rather prophetic when you consider the nonsensical denial of reality that’s going on with biological men competing in women’s sports today.

How come Mr. DALEY never asked if the men were married?

Because in those days, ladies were addressed as MISS or MRS. But, a man's title would not change upon marriage. It is always MISTER.

The panel HAD to have been given the heads-up about the mystery celebrity guests--clues that is. How else would they have been able to guess the identity of Althea Gibson so quickly?

You’ve never seen an advertisement for pajamas?

Now how in the word did Arlene guess THAT?!

Even if Miss Martin WAS a Mrs the panel would still call her Miss Martin anyway! It irritates me every time, that pointless opening question but hey I know, it's 1958.

I hope you are able to get over it.

No female in any sport can contend with the top males.

how the fuck did she guess that ?
