  • Come on.....a year date is so important for aged films

  • What was Sue Oakland's "claim to fame?"

  • You might notice that the "Yep Nope Nope" had to do with the question if they had anything to do with the panel in the past. John Daly started saying the "Yep Nope Nope" had to do with their acting in summer stock.

  • I'm surprised Ed McMahon's famous laugh wasn't immediately recognized.

  • I don't know know if it's every host on Mr. Goodson's payroll at the time. They left out Steve Allen, who was hosting "I've Got a Secret". Garry Moore left the show to take a year-long trip around the world about three years before the end of the show's primetime run on CBS.

  • @bluebear1985 No, IGAS was gone by this point.

  • @AdamNedeff I guess I stand corrected. IGAS went off the air in April 1967, while WML went off in September.

  • Yes. All four of them are gone. Ed Mc.Mahon died last year. Bud Collyer died in 1969. Allen Ludden died in 1981. And Gene Rayburn died in 1999. They're all hosting their game shows up in Heaven.

    And let's not forget that John Daly, Arlene Francis, Bennett Cerf, and Dorothy Kilgallen are all gone as well.

  • Bud collyer was the original voice of Superman in radio & film. He also voiced him later on TV, FWIW.

  • YES DOROTHY WAS MISSED!

  • Well, I know this is from the late 60's, but Johnny Olson started in 1972 on TPIR. He died in 1985, but he always looked and sounded the same on every show he did. Even without seeing him on a show, you know when it's Johnny O.!

  • Johnny Olson looks and sounds the same here as he did 20 years later on The Price is Right.

  • I didn't know Ed McMahon worked for Goodson/Todman.

  • Ed McMahon was the host of a few game shows in the 50's and one called SNAP JUDGMENT which was a Goodson/Todman show. He also served as announcer and panelist on quite a few too.

  • wasn't Bud also hosting Beat The Clock at this time, it didn't even get mentioned. maybe becuase Mark Goodson said soemwhere that beat the clock was his least favorite format.

  • this was in 1967, Beat the Clock went off the air in either 61 or 62

  • That is so strange to hear "conflicting schedules". TTTT, WML, The Match Game and many other shows were done live from New York. Nice to see Johnny O get in there. The best announcer there ever was.

  • And though "I've Got a Secret" ended some months before this show, Mr. Olson didn't announce on that, either - indeed, the only time he announced on that show was in its 1972-73 syndicated incarnation.

  • How appropriately classy of JCD to invite Johnny O on stage. He was a signature voice of both Goodson's company and CBS.

  • And he would eventually do Mr. Ludden's format as a guest announcer during the "Password Plus" run.

  • my dads name is mark goodson,but its not the famouse dude lol

  • Hop about that? Allen Ludden, Gene Rayburn, Ed Mc.Mahon, and Bud Collyer as mystery guests on What's My Line! But very sadly, except for Ed Mc.Mahon, Allen Ludden, Gene Rayburn, and Bud Collyer are all deceased. So's John Daly, Dorothy Kilgallen, and Arlene Francis. I wonder if they're playing What's My Line in the afterlife.

  • Actually, everyone on this particular clip except Ed (and maybe that Sue whoever she is) are gone. I really miss Dorothy Kilgallen. She is my favorite. I love this show!

  • I wonder if that is Aileen Mehle (Suzy Knickerbocker), who still uses the Suzy name as a columnist in NYC.

  • I believe it is.

  • Actually, take that back. It's Sue Oakland.

  • Is she still living?

  • Yes, she is.

  • I miss Dorothy too. In my opinion she was the best one on the panel at figuring out the mystery guests.

  • For sure, you really feel the lack without Dorothy there to do her "prosecuting attorney" bit!

  • @msymsed

    And now Ed is gone as well.

  • Yeah...sigh

  • actually the answer to the question of if the four had been on the panel should have been "yep nope nope nope" allen was on the panel of the original at least once but gene was on the panel for the syndicated version many times

  • sue was smokin hot....

  • During the questioning, I did recognize Sue's vocal qualities as being virtually the same as in her days as broadcast editorialist.

  • Incidentally, about five years or so from this 1967 episode, guest panelist Sue Oakland began a long run at WCBS-TV (Channel 2) in New York as Director of Editorials, which lasted into about the mid-'80's. Only by then she was known as Sue Cott.

  • What show did Ed host?

  • "Snap Judgment," a Password variation that I've never seen. From what I understand, I'm not missing much--"WML?" producer Gil Fates describes the show as "anemic" in his memoirs.

  • little did they know but 2 of those hosts were out of work before the end of '67 john and allen

  • Oh, they already knew about John. As said in the description, this was the 8th-to-last episode of the series, acknowledged as such at the beginning of the episode.

  • Collyer and McMahon would be out of business the next year.

  • GENE RULES!

  • Four of the finest men in the game show world if you ask me.

  • Five...you left out Mr. Daly!!

  • I do thank you for pointing that out.

  • Had it not been for "I've Got a Secret" ending only three months earlier, no doubt Steve Allen would've joined Messrs. Collyer, Ludden, McMahon and Rayburn as mystery guests.

  • Boy did mark goodson have a red face.
