How wonderful to see Ray Bolger dance off the stage, and also acknowledge the audience which so few celebrities ever did.

What a time capsule. We are so lucky to have so many of these wonderful shows preserved. Just as a historical note, "The Wedding" that was referred to several times was the Wedding of Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, and Grace Kelly, in April, 1956.

That little dance by Ray Bolger was just great!

It is so restful and peaceful to watch these programs. No cursing no vulgarity. Ladies and gentleman. Class and manners. It seems like I am watching them in real time, and not from 60 years ago. Like Arlene and Dorothy are still with us. Or so I wish.

Nothing silly about it at all.. If a viewer had just cut the TV on and it was already on the local CBS affiliate's channel and an NBC guy came on WML and DALY said that the guest had a show with NBC, and the viewer suddenly remembered that they were going to watch something on NBC, the odds increase that the channel will get changed to NBC, than it would have been kept on CBS if only "another network" was used in the guest's description. That is absolutely indisputable. There were only three or four major broadcast nets then- NBC, CBS, ABC AND DUMONT(PBS came on in 1959 and only to limited regions of the country, ABC had only popped up in 1953) with DUMONT folding in 1957.. People did not have 500 choices back then, precious few had TV remotes. It was serious business then to ensure viewers were not going to "TOUCH THAT DIAL." Ad revenue dollars being sought then were part of a pitched battle. Its why with few exceptions, shows were not given a long time to develop audiences. Secondly, ad-revs were compared to the inflationary cost of living then, much higher in 1956.. There were, compared to the general population then and the amount of TV sets' owners(most folks who owned them had only one) back then, huge audiences with BIG DOLLARS fought for between the 3 big networks.. Audiences tallied up to 60 million viewers possibly... NO, they did not want anything making you "TOUCH THAT DIAL." It was a different world back then. A celeb in 1956 was not going to be able to plug a movie on a TV talk show like TONITE with STEVE ALLEN. TV AND MOVIES were competing for eyes and ears and for word of mouth. Twas very different then.. Twas totally different.

One thing I would have done differently in my life is take up dancing on a regular basis. Professional dancers seem to remarkably retain their health, youthfulness, trim figure and athleticism long after most other performers. Ray Bolger starred in a movie called "That's Dancing" with Liza Minnelli in 1985. He was about 81 at the time. He was also married to the same woman (his only marriage) from 1929 until his death in 1987, That impresses me even more.

I thought, ' If this person only knew who he/she was speaking of!' On another note, "Heeeere's Johnny!" has significance for me because one of the most special times of my life happened on the same day as the very last time his show was on TV, which was on Friday evening of Memorial Day, 1992: 7 hours earlier I had become a mother for the first time!!! I was recuperating in my hospital bed that eve, when, suddenly, it was announced that it was the very last show ever with Johnny Carson!

Ray Bolger was the consummate entertainer and he seems like a real sweet guy.

Quite the signature Ray Bolger had!

as much as I think it's awesome Johnny was there, it makes me sad knowing that Fred Allen who manned that second spot and was supposed to be there had died a few weeks beforehand. RIP to all the panelists who have all since passed and Fred Allen.

Wish Johnny could have been a permanent panelist.

People on TV had talent in the 50s

Lmaoo. The next panel will have the Kardashians. _🤭_

This one is really rough around the edges but I just can't stay miffed with the likes of Ray Bolger around!

R.I.P Both of Them

This was not long after CBS canceled the "Johnny Carson Show". His agent (William Morris Agency) told Johnny that his chances of getting back on TV were better if he left Hollywood and went to New York. When Johnny got to New York he started making appearances as a guest panelist on G-T's game shows, like WML, TTTT, IGAS and Password. That led to ABC hiring him as host of Who Do You Trust. And the rest is history....

Awww dear Mr. Ray Bolger... :)

Love Ray Bolger!!!

his voice is recognizable. kills the game

Just before watching this video, I watched Bert Lahr doing "WML" And I understand that Lahr was not that thrilled with playing the Cowardly Lion in "The Wizard of Oz" Ironically, Ray Bolger always expressed his love for playing the Scarecrow in the same film!

Lahr was known to complain of getting typecast (“There aren’t many parts for lions”) in a way that probably didn’t happen to Bolger.

Love that Freudian slip made by Daley.

I was wondering if anyone else caught that.

I just love Johnny Carson

Loved Bolger as the Scarecrow, but thought Haley was so handsome.

Somehow I like the Tiger Trainer!

I have a Ray Bolger autographed menu from the WALDORF from this appearance
