I fully agree. It's a shame we don't have talent of the caliber of Mr. Carney as well.

Because the young people of today are stupid and uncaring and don't want to know about anything from the great past, because they couldn't care less!!!!!

The Best. He was so talented. RIP AC

What a shame we don't have shows like WHAT'S MY LINE in this day and age! Game shows now are mostly dreck (except for Jeopardy)..all pumped full of glitz, noise and whatnot. What's My Line had class - every week..and the regulars were erudite, funny, classy folks. Thanks for sharing this wonderful look back at the talented - and missed - ART CARNEY. He could say more with his eyes than any other comic with a page of dialogue!

Amen. thank heaven Gleason preserved his shows, so there is a record of both of them.

I Love Art Carney. 👍

Excellent! Thanks for sharing!

What's also particularly interesting is how What's My Line was still as sharp as ever, even after fifteen years on the air...TV hasn't seen such a classy production (never mind it was simply a game show) in quite some time...thanks all for all the informative comments here as well!

Thanx for posting. I think Carney holds the record for most WML mystery guest appearances, and he was FUNNY in them all, but this 1966 appearance has to be his most funny. That disguised ( 1:10 )voice and then that impersonation of FDR ( 8:48 ) make this a great episode. Carney's was a talent worth its weight in platnum. He could get huge laughs with the most subtle effects -- look at his reaction to Daly's legendary long-winded, over-literal clarifications ( 3:18 ) (5:50 ).

He and Milton Berle jointly hold the record at seven appearances each.

The FDR impersonation was spot-on. I want to hear him do more.... ;p

Before he was drafted in WWII, he played FDR and Churchill on a CBS radio program, "Report to the Nation". His impressions of them were absolutely incredible!

Va va va voom, Art Carney will never be topped

He was great in the movie The Late Show with Lily Tomlinson - hard to get hold of a copy but I have it on VHS tape.

Very talented man.

This is WML at its zany best!

you can say that again one of a kind

Bennett guessed Art every time.

Loved Arlene's response when Art repeated "Am I a motion picture star?" with that shaky "Yeah?"

Marvelous!..that line "it's not Juan Peron"...priceless

Vtte4, Art's response to "Do you sing?" was, "If I'm asked."

Bennett Cerf guessed Art back in the 50s too!

"Perhaps. You'd like to hear tippy tippy tin?"

What was Carney's initial response to Allen's question, "Do you sing?" I couldn't quite catch it.

"When asked" is what he said.

Towards the later years, they didn't put up the sponsors' logo up because they had several sponsors that alternated each week. By this time, the days of one sponsor doing the show had waned.

No, it was because by this time in the show, there were several rotating sponsors (unlike the early days when there was one main sponsor), therefore they did away with the sponsor on the desk.

sadly she died about 6 months before this episode. the circumstances of her death are quite controversial.

Never the same without Dorothy Kilgallen

It ran for 17 years before airing it is last program?

I've noticed the sponsor's name wasn't there. I don't know if that was a decision by the networks of an FCC ruling to do away with that. Today, if watch a sporting event you'll see the sponsor's name on the front, or you'll see ads creeping.

What happebed to Dorothy Kilgallen?
