What's My Line? - Top 10 Favorite Mystery Guests! [CLIPS VIDEO]

Ойын-сауық

45+ minutes of classic moments from the 10 favorite mystery guests ever on WML-- as chosen by the members of our Facebook group!
Now this isn't just a bunch of MG segments strung together, mind you-- these are very carefully selected highlights from around 20 mystery guest appearances by these top 10 favorite-voted guests.
We have these polls periodically in the Facebook group, which will help a great deal in support of a new book on WML we're working on to be published next year by McFarland. The clips are in no particular order, since the "Favorite Mystery Guests" poll is actually still open as of this writing to rank these top ten picks. So if you'd like to vote, make sure to visit the group and register your voice! It's a lot more fun than certain other kinds of voting that I understand to be going on in other areas of life.
Air dates are noted on all the clips-- you can find the complete shows very easily using the chronological episode playlists on the main WML channel page: / @whatsmyline

    I was a kid in the 60s and this show was cancelled in 1967, it was syndicated & that's when I started watching (had no idea it existed in the 50s) and tried never to miss an episode, it was so entertaining. I especially like these 1950s episodes, the guests and panelists were so polite, well-spoken, intelligent and classy--a far cry from today. I can see why this show lasted for 25 years!

    Very true about the legal ramifications-- and as a matter of fact, Louis actually broke a contractual obligation by singing the song on WML! He was contracted to debut the song on television on another program, I believe it was the Perry Como Show, and just didn't care. His manager, Joe Glaser, was reportedly having a brain aneurysm offstage seeing what was happening. You couldn't contain a spirit like Louis's with a piece of paper. :)

I recall being upset that she didn't hookup with Jimmy Stewart's character ( Linus, the mountain man )......but eventually ended up with Gregory Peck instead. I guess in retrospect......he was pretty cool also.

And Carrie fisher, Debbies daughter, was an absolute worthless daughter, didn’t speak to her mom for 10 years, very close to the man eater, Elizabeth! Debbie died one day later after Carrie died, it wasn’t from a broken heart, God called Debbie home, it was her time!! I loved Debbie, I wish she could have been my mother, I would have been loyal & loved her to my dying day! Debbie was still beautiful at 80, she kept her youthful looks, I think her own daughter was jealous of her, but many daughters are jealous of their mothers.

Allen immediately catches on and asks Skelton a series of questions that make it clear he knows Skelton's identification. Allen's final question is "Is your first name also a color?" Skelton answers with a sigh, "yes." Allen then deadpans, "I don't know who this guy is."

    I've been watching some George and Gracey comedies here on KZread. There's no doubt that George is the straight man! Gracey's wordplay and brand of silliness has never been equalled. It's lovely to see them here. And the wife of FDR. What a formidable woman she is. Thank you, as ever, for sharing these wonderful tapes. :)

    "How's your brother, Gracie?" "Oh, he has 3 feet now." "He has 3 feet? How did that happen?" "In mother's latest note to me, she said that he's grown another foot." You do NOT hear straight-on drop-dead humor like this anymore.

    This excellent compilation epitomizes why it was my favorite quiz show in those top mid-'60s years of television! Just so much great fun and laughs from this show plus "To Tell The Truth" "I've Got A Secret", "Password" and a secret look at people just being themselves, on "Candid Camera" airing just before this greatest-of-all tv quiz shows, "What's My Line?" The two biggest losses in the show's 17-year history (1950-67) were: Fred Allen, only 61 (May 31, 1894 - Mar. 17, 1956) and Dorothy Kilgallen, only 52 (Jul. 3, 1913 - Nov. 8, 1965). Both were irreplaceable, and deeply missed by the cast and the public.
