    Imagine if the mystery guests’ signatures were captured (on paper rather than a chalkboard) and kept - what an incredible collection that would be. Liberace’s clever grand piano sketch was terrific.

    Indeed, Liberace had appeared live on "The Ed Sullivan Show" on Sunday, 16 December 1962, before pre-recording this episode of WML? Other guests on the Sullivan show that evening were Y.A. Tittle, Barbra Streisand, Linon, Russ Lewis, Abbe Lane, Victor Julian and his dogs, The Goans, Xavier Cugat and his orchestra, and The Clancy Brothers. Wladziu Liberace did a great job of bringing his voice down into a full bass/baritone range, which fooled the panel for a while before Buddy Hackett's "stab in the dark." That voice would come in handy 4 years later for the role of Harry (a gangster) on two episodes of "Batman." (Liberace also played the pianist, Chandell, who was either Harry's brother or his look-alike, in those episodes.)

    16:41: Dorothy asks Liberace, "Are you our leader, Vaughn Meader?" Having never heard of Vaughn Meader before, I had no idea what she was talking about when I first heard this, but in the very next episode, the mystery guest was, in fact, Vaughn Meader. Dorothy doesn't guess him but after his identify has been revealed, she mentions the fact that she had guessed him the week before. I just had to come back here to listen for that guess. :)

    Arlene is again wearing the fur-trimmed evening gown I have commented on before. This must have been her "Christmas dress," as I think the other episodes on which I've seen her wear it were also from around the same time of year. Also, this is the second episode in a row in which she is wearing no necklace at all. I know that both episodes were actually taped the same night, so she must have forgotten her diamond heart necklace that day. I think the gown she wore in the previous episode was one I've seen before also. Dorothy and Arlene both look particularly pretty in this episode.

    The mystery guest appearances of Liberace in 1957, 1962, and 1964 all produced some of the biggest laughs in a mystery guest sequence. Paul Anka got his gender wrong in the 1964 appearance; Buddy Hackett got the pronunciation wrong in 1962, for a laugh -- but got Liberace. Hackett is highly amusing all the way around in this game - especially with Liberace. Hah Hah.

    John Tomasello : Wow. What a neat memory! I had seen him twice in person in the late 70s/very early 80s when he had concerts in Milwaukee. He was walking around Downtown. Very friendly and genuine with that megawatt grin. Of course, he had bodyguards, but he always wanted to reach out and shake hands and say hi. He always paid homage to Milwaukee, having been born in West Allis, a very humble blue collar suburb of Milwaukee. He even had offered to buy an abandoned mansion in Wauwatosa (a well to do suburb) in the 70s and restore it, but the conservative farts in the Tosa gov't didn't want to taint their fair community by dealing with (gasp!) a "homo." They gave other lame reasons that were too easy to see through. He also offered to restore a Civil War era theater in Wood National Cemetery/VA Hospital grounds in West Milwaukee, but was turned down. Something about not allowing private funds being donated for Federal property(!) The theater is still standing, but has been in ruins for years. Lee used to give free piano concerts for the veterans in that theater before he moved away to seek fame and fortune. I wish Lee would come back now so he could enjoy his life and not have to be afraid of losing everything because of his lifestyle. Can you imagine how Millennials would love him? PS: If it's not obvious by now, I've been a lifelong fan of Liberace! He really was an amazing person. When I was a very little kid, my mother explained to me that he "liked men better than women." I didn't care then and still don't. My mother was very ahead of her time, rest her soul!

    Scotts Valley CA near Santa Cruz was a Santa Claus themed amusement park. Opened iin 1956 closed in 1979. It's not in the wiki, but I'm wondering if Mr Carruthers supplied the park. Technical note: what comes from Alaska and northern Canada is caribou, which resemble reindeer and are generally wild. Reindeer are from northern Europe and are domesticated; the Lapps use them for both food and beasts of burden.

    The theme park was called "Santa's Village"; our family visited there over the 1960-61 winter holidays shortly before I turned five years old. Exit 6 on northbound California Highway 17 is still labeled Santas Village Road, but that's just the name of a short section of frontage road now; all traces of the park have vanished under development. They did have reindeer, so I'm confident that Mr. Carruthers was associated with the park in some way.

    When they pre-taped a show, as this one is, would it be correct to assume that they did it at the same night as the airing of a live show (I think I'm starting to sound like Dorothy)!? How many would they pre-tape and would they do it after or before the live show, if indeed they taped on that night (which only seems to make sense...why do it another time)? Tape it when you have them there.

    They usually did a pre-taped episode on the same night before the live one. Wait until we get to the final 1966-1967 season. It had a few of instances of episodes being taped on a day other than a Sunday. They were recorded on a Monday in October. Of the 47 color videotaped episodes, 16 of them were pre-taped. More than any other season.

    Charles Dickens might as well have been talking about the years from the end of World War II to November 1963 as "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times." Things were simpler, most people felt positive about the future, people were polite and considerate, and believe it or not, most people were comfortable in the roles assigned to them by society. But there were exceptions. Blacks faced major discrimination in most places in the U.S., whether it was education, jobs, housing, etc. Interracial marriage was still illegal in many states. Most LGBT people hid their identity or retreated to fringe communities. Women also faced limits in business and financial matters. So times were great if you fit into the system. And most people fit so they look back fondly and for them society has gotten worse. But for those who didn't fit, there is no reason to wax nostalgic.

For years the residents of Long Beach called the street spelled Junipero "Juanipero." I guess we humans pick a pronunciation we like and stick with it. When I lived in Nevada the natives called it Nevaaada(as in cat)instead of Nevahda, which is correct.
