I'm amazed, and also glad, that she lived until the year 2001, and died age 93.

Arlene looks beautiful here in color.

What the heck, Wally Bruner, the host is answering the questions for the guests! "Are you a soul singer?" Bruner: "YES!" How about letting the mystery guest answer? No one will ever replace John Daly as WML-host :/

Agreed - John Daley was a darling, and the best - he did though at times answer for/with the mystery guest if they needed a little help

I agree. Wally was out of place here. He was great as the host of Wally's Workshop.

Well, Brown's voice is QUITE recognizable...even with him trying to disguise it. And he DID answer most of the questions. Daly used to do this too. Give the guy a break, man.

When Soupy Sales pretends to give Gawn a manicure... that cracked me up!

How interesting that James Brown and Soupy met again. Read about the James Brown concert incident in Soupy's book.

It's so 😎 to see such a unique vocation as the man that cuts hair with 🔥

Soupy and Phyllis are ZOOTED!

James Brown looks like Cuba Gooding Jr. here goddamn.

Whoever that person was that was screaming outloud even at the end of the show for James Brown is so annoying. I just wanna slap her.

Oh they had a mask maker on the original one too and they had to blindfold themselves too. That tongue twister was delicious! ❤ I wonder if Martin Gable made an appearance in this version too..... I haven't seen him yet ❤

I Remember The Syndicated What's My Line, When It First On Here In The New York City Area, Was On WOR-TV Channel 9.

Never knew James Brown was left-handed! Like me. :)

Phyllis Newman was so gorgeous 😍. I wish she wouldn't have worn those shades though, for she had such captivating eyes.

Wth you could tell it’s James Brown from the first No lol

This syndicated game show always was distributed by Viacom, which always was a division of CBS. In July 1968, Viacom paid to videorecord the first "What's My Line?" syndicated episodes. They spent an entire day creating five episodes so one could be telecast on each weekday in a given American city. That was July. James Brown visited the Ed Sullivan Theater (a theater used for television not theater) three months later: October 1968. Viewers in many cities saw this in late '68 & '69.

James brown was fine back in the 70s

This was 1968.

That is correct. That's why this was taped in the Ed Sullivan Theater.

WoW ... what a let-down from the 'old days'.

the production staff must have been out of their minds to book the fire-wielding hair stylist. Fates reported in his book that the production staff also booked a fire demonstrator on wheels who managed to accidentally set himself alight during the demonstration. That mistake did not get past the editing room.

Oh Soupy. Oh Phyllis. Most irritating laughing fits on WML since that incident when Dorothy and Shelley Berman got the hysterics during that game involving President Kennedy's rocking chair maker.

Dorothy would be so proud of them.

Brown just cut off his trademark processed do. Black and I'm Proud Movement

Is it me or did the panel seem a little tipsy?

What's My Line was history by the 80s.

The hair cutting by fire is as old as the stone age...

Jump to 15:55 for the GODFATHER OF SOUL.

It's obvious that Soupy and Phyllis (and maybe Gawn) smoked or snorted something just before taping.

why did they cut the older commentator out of this show?

Only the MG requires one question at a time. There have been numerous occasions when the panelists wore blindfolded for many reasons, like contestant's name or how they look.

As were Mike Connors, opera star Lorrine Amara, camshaft manufacturer Ed Iskerderian and auto racing promoter A.C. Agajanian.

This is the period when James gave up his famous "conk" (his term) for black pride. He started straightening his hair again in the mid-1970's.

Does poppa have a brand new bag ?

Phyllis Newman should have been the replacement for Kilgallen. She's the best hands down. What's with this use of fire when cutting hair. NYC consumer affairs MUST have shut this nonsense down pronto after this aired, no???? Unbelievably dangerous and stunt-like. I see Mole died in the early 70's, not long after, but the shop still exists.

This was not in 1968 it was in 1969 i could tell because his hair got cut in 1969 not in 1968

I like how white audiences started sweatin JB after King's passing when he stopped riots, told black people to not riot, steal etc. They were scared to death. Then "black and proud" came out then they abandoned him then came back again then abandoned him again when he was in prison then liked him again after he got out ha.
