Count Vasco da Gama-- What's My Line

[wmlfan9]

I must admit that I've never heard the phrase that John uses at 1:13. It sounds like "in stanta". Does anyone knows what he said?

[wmlfan9]

Bennett, what does the fact that you mispronounced the word "demise" last week (1:39) have to do with anything?

[smcatharine]

Brookline is in MA, Brooklyn is in NY.

[binaway]

When I hear modern Americans say Brooklyn it sounds like Brook-LIN ( as in Berlin). On this clip it sounds like Brook- LYN ( as in line). Has the pronunciation changed in the last 50 years.

@binaway Your confusing two different cities. Brooklyn is a borough within New York City. Brookline is a suburb of Boston.

[gabsylv]

@binaway It's just an affectation by AF

[xzellos]

ohh bennett why do you have to do puns?

[Nobeester]

Love the look and big smile Dorothy gave him after he kissed her hand. She appeared to be both delighted and charmed. I partially agree with "Imthecuteone" in that hand kissing is considered very continental and classy, but nowadays most women just shove out their paws and start pumping like they're hoping to strike oil. No offense meant, but thanks to the "libbers" we live in a completely different world. Unfortunately.

[calihartley2010]

@Nobeester I agree. With feminism, women want to be like men and act so cheap and unclassy that I would not want to kiss their dirty hands which they mostly do not keep clean. Liberals, communists and feminists have done more destruction than floods have to the world. The decline of the west is due to women not wanting to have kids, but want to have money and act like men. Too bad that when women had it good, they did not like it but prefered to be libtards and want equal rights.

Once again Bennett not paying attention during the introduction.

[rentatrip1]

this is like bennett was taking a giant brain fart - duahh ...is it so painfully obvious that I almost feel sorry fr Cerf ?

[EDH1712]

At the handshakes I think Arlene must've been asking if he recognized the name Kazanjian from Brookline.

[soulierinvestments]

Never can tell though. If he's clever enough to learn to repair billiard tables, he might have picked up other skills as well.

[zkzkzk]

If you turn up the volume high when the guest consults with Daly, you can hear what he is saying in response to Bennett's question -- "I wear work clothes when I repair".

[KarinPluss]

This guy milks his fallen title to the hilt! I don't know how he deluded himself long enough to roll up his sleeves and go into the pool repair business. Hehe, anyway, always great how WML find these characters, thanks for posting!

[calihartley2010]

@KarinPluss Well he is entitled to keep his title if he obtained it legally. What titles do you have? None I'm sure.

[KarinPluss]

@calihartley2010 Sure, let him have his fun, I'd probably do the same. It was a mere observation, not a critisism. Oh, and we only have silly, little titles like..uhm King and Queen and stuff like that. Just minor stuff, really, so I guess I shouldn't talk.

[calihartley2010]

@KarinPluss Ok. I see that you are also friends with Dorisdaygirl too.

[soulierinvestments]

WML's production staff had a fondness for this kind of gimmick. Over the years they found

a John Rockefeller who sold bottle water

a Grace Kelly who was some sort of local government bureaucrat.

another John Daly that did something other than news.

[Imthecuteone]

also nice to see some men back then kiss the ladies hands, wish they would do that today....lol

[Imthecuteone]

"well could you ask john"? "he would". i love it!!

[Imthecuteone]

hahaha "how about that Daly"

[weatdamal]

Thank you :)

[XMLarry]

Great job Count! :)
