I agree with one comment that I've often thought the show was staged. I'd like to read a history of the show sometime. However a reasonable alternative is these panelists are all in the business; they read the trade papers, they know who's in town for a show or visit; they even bump into them at parties. Besides, they do their "homework" as JD said. So the process of elimination is easier. Still, some guesses are so targeted one wonders. I do think the guesser should be asked HOW he guessed.
Oh come on. The panel knew who this was. The first question is "Do you have anything in common with Marilyn Monroe?", and from the answer "yes", the second question asks indirectly if she is Hungarian (which she happens to be)? That's quite a stretch.
With the exception of Olivia DeHavilland and Lauren Bacall, and possibly Julie Andrews, females no longer have that glamor. For what it's worth Julia Roberts is the closest, but she's got a long way to go...maybe in another 30 years.
ZSA ZSA....what a WONDERFUL WOMAN!!! Gorgeous, intelligent (like a fox, and otherwise), and totally disarming...she has graced our planet during her stay....
@mooneepondskid I know she looks different that the average american,..but I said her nose looks plastic. even when she got much older, her nose looked more plastic and fake. she is still a stunner though :) I love her
@KennySherman that brightness bouncing off the top of a wives head happened A LOT in the 50's and 60's.nahhhh Im just kidding.her name was Arlene Francis, not Ann, and she was an,accomplished actress .
@KennySherman well, ok. The first intelligent person was Bennet Cerf, he was some sort of head of a publishing company... I think. Dorthory Kilgalion was a fantastic journalist in her day.Her father was some excellent reporter somewhere.Ernie Kovak was a brillant comedian... I have no idea why Ann Francis was there with all those people.Maybe her husband was a really intelligent person and his super brightness bounced off of the top of her head or something.
If I may add, she was married to Hilton Hotels founder Conrad Nicholas Hilton from 1942 - 47...so Paris isn't a copy really, but some kind of misled offspring...
@AIDAblu1 Paris Hilton has no blood relationship to Zsa Zsa Gabor, nor is either copying the other, but the analogy is apt: Zsa Zsa Gabor was famous for being famous, made a few spectacularly bad movies, annoyed and bored intelligent people, and generally enjoyed fabulous affluence for all of it. Zsa Zsa Gabor was the Paris Hilton of her time.
its the first time i hear her speaking hungarian. she answers "nem" (no) when he asks her if she speaks hungarian or if she understands what he is saying...

How stupid she was and is! Even she talks German in pefect. Her interest was and is dull publicity for sharing money. Yes! In this she teached her German, proletarian husband! He realy is a gas station attendant.

Well, she is stunningly beautiful but what a phony. She lived in this country for how many years and still has that stupid accent. Paris Hilton must use her as a role model but she's not remotely in that class.
Man, it doesn't matter how long you live in a country, but how old you are when you move. It's easier for younger people to speak a new language without accent at all, but almost impossible for older ones.
debbie reynolds did some insane imitations and got them dead-right. She was something else. All of the hollywood worker-bees must have looked at the Gabor sisters and felt a little disgusted. Pretty, but only Eva seemed to have a heart.
to correct Zsa Zsa, Eva was her youngest sibbling. It's not clear if she or Magda were the eldest, because they both lied so venomously about thier age. But historians think it was Magda.
When you talk about the most beautiful women in Hollywood you must mention Zsa Zsa Gabor. She was really stunning. And the moment when she left her country, whe she was not totally blond, but a light brow haired, she was quite stunning in every way. Beautiful body, elegance, charm, charisma, gorgeous, gorgeous. I do love Zsa Zsa. Those were great times. Before my time, since I am just a young nostalgic man wondering about those years before my time, but I love it.
"That's what you do with Arthur Murray". Arlene Francis is great! This was delightful..and hearing Ernie speak Hungarian was fun too. Thanks for posting this delightful clip..and all the others, too!
GSN rebroadcast this 1957 episode on 18 November 2008. It featured an uproariously funny game involving a young lady who washed cows for a living. The panel was completely lost in space, but funny anyway.
Ernie speaks the mother tongue! I've never heard him make so much with the Hungarian...can anyone translate? All I catch in his talk is the one word he spoke to Murrow in an ep of "Person to Person": "Egan![yes!]"
Thanks so much for all the terrific clips. Treasures all of them.
Can someone please explain why there was so much laughter when Arlene Francis said that's what you do with arthur murray? I know he taught dance, but thats about it. And the guy who guessed zsa zsa, was he speaking hungarian to her?
Ironically, on one of his own shows prior to this Kovacs did a "Pierre Ragout" fractured fairy-tale reading of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" where the evil Queen was recast as "Queen Zsa Zsa" whose fingernail polish was galvanized zinc, and whose eyelashes were cut off of peasants. (It was on an LP, "The Ernie Kovacs Album," Columbia PC 34250, released 1976.)
Even an American tourist with an Interrail ticket after the train ride from Bratislava to Budapest can speak Hungarian with more fluency than Ernie here :D
love her voice... soo sexy
