Obviously it irked him because here, 2 contestants later, he's still thinking about the interpreter. Just couldn't let it go lol. His other funny quirk was trying to make a judgment based on where someone lived. While he indeed did seem to be aware of the major industry in any given area, it rarely worked to his advantage.

I don't blame the odd celebrity that decided against sounding silly by putting on a funnt voice. Ricky Nelson also chose to speak normally. Just like the celebrity guests were hesitant to respond that they were attractive or talented (John would always chime in and answer that question for them), one would think they also would consider it to an arrogant assumption that they were so famous that their mere voice would be instantly toy recognizable.

Gosh, this show was taped 2 days before I was born.

If you google the trash collector's name "Dale Fogle" it automatically adds "New Kensington, PA." If you hit enter it returns an address and even a phone number. If that is the same guy it lists him as born in 1929.Assuming it's the same person that would make him 29 here. There's an obit for a Dale Fogle from Garrett, PA that lists 1936 - 2013 (which would've had him live to 77). If this is the guy then he would be 22 here.

Sinatra loved them both, and said Steve had the best voice he had ever heard. I loved that they decided to forgo popular themed and devoted their act to preserve 'show' music, they remained steadfast and kept alive the works of the great songwriters of many Broadway shows.

Bennett was incredulous that the final round came all the way back to him. Arlene guessed bus driver and as soon as she said bus the audience responded with heavy applause. When Arlene got the "no", Bennett put two and two together and realized it had to be something else to do with a bus. Somehow Martin and Dorothy didn't get it. They were questioning about different kinds of drivers.

The production appears to be quite minimal in the costings so I often wondered if there was a high cost of putting people on the show.

best of times, not the shit of today

Bennett's demeanor tonight was particularly distasteful. Besides asking last week's pajama model to send in her telephone number, he was a sore loser twice. When the first contestant was revealed, Bennett had a look of disdain on his face that could have rivaled Queen Victoria's "We are not amused." When he got Orloff wrong, he started off the second round by saying he wanted an honest answer from John this time, and halfway through that guest, he was still complaining about how that was resolved. Bennett often challenges John's rulings after he gets a "no" and he is always wrong. But Bennett's ego can never get him to admit that he is ever wrong -- it is always John's fault. It is true that John sometimes answers in a truthful but misleading way, and sometimes he answers incorrectly, but he is not dishonest. Bennett never thinks he could be wrong.
