As much as I like Bennett Cerf and despite his education, he can be remarkably crude when he thinks he is "complimenting" women
Funny story about George Hamilton. Burt Reynolds once created a birthday card for Hamilton that included a composite photo of Tony Curtis and Anthony Perkins. The card read "To George, Love from Mum and Dad". Hamilton thought that was hilarious and showed it to everybody.
George Hamilton is still alive as of early 2023. He's 83. I thought of him as a comedian but he was originally a leading man type.
When someone (Bennett) has to explain what the word "glitch" means, you realize how long ago 1965 was.
George Hamilton played the good natured, slightly pompous, self-deprecating celebrity to the hilt. One time he was on the Today show being interviewed by Katy Couric and he had her smiling and laughing even before he said anything. Katy was very popular and a celebrity on her own right at the time. They were sitting in chairs facing each other and just as she started the interview, he paused and said to her kiddingly, acting as a royal might say to a commoner, "...And who might you be?" She laughed so hard, he had her in stitches.
A beautiful contestant --> let's begin with Bennett Cerf
Wait, glitch was a new word in 1965? You learn something new everyday....
Imagine the word ‘glitch’ being new and unfamiliar to the lexicon.
Mrs Doris Young -skin diving is a form of underwater diving that relies on breath-holding until resurfacing rather than the use of breathing apparatus such as scuba gear.
Our German rocket scientists vs the USSR's German rocket scientists.
Mrs. Young had a great smile and she was extremely beautiful.
George Hamilton.
George Hamilton was very handsome here!
In addition to "Gilligan's Island", Jim Backus was a very busy man in the '60s. He was, of course, the voice of "Mr. Magoo", recorded comedy albums, was a popular guest star in sitcoms such as "I Dream of Genie", game shows that included "Password", as well as movies that include "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World". He also was a professional golfer, playing in competitive tournaments. Not to be forgotten, Backus was part of a rotating lineup of personalities hosting NBC's "Monitor", a weekend magazine interspersed with easy listening music--his knack for being a witty conversationalist made him a great disc jockey then.
The bridal gown segment was hilarious !
George Hamilton a most handsome specimen of the male species here at the tender age of 26.
Thurston Howell III would fit right in socially with the WML panel!
My favorite George Hamilton movie is "Love at First Bite". I took my aunt to see it in Anaheim.
Dorothy's dressed for the cotillion tonight!
The Unbrownable Molly Sink. Brilliant!
