WML had an affinity for this sort of gimmick.

Somewhere in YouTube crepehanger47 posted the 1955 appearance of the commander of the Army Academy at West Point.

Crepehanger47 also posted the 1956 appearance of the Naval Academy Superintendent.

Here, in 1958, the commander of the new Air Force Academy. Thanx again for posting the entire trio.

I love when Victor Borge is a panelist!

Thank you for posting :)

The great Danish concert pianist Victor Borge appeared 7?? times on WML as a panelist and mystery guest and was a hit every time. He played brilliant keyboard, a Funny Man right to the bone.

This sort of sequence made WML great: a distinguished person with an interesting job and enough time for John Daly to interview and draw him out on live TV. Modern TV features many good talk show interviewers, but if Daly were alive, he could ask questions with the best of them. All hail Daly!

I love how JD keeps them guessing even though they figure it out. The general played it straight even when they knew. And Bennet... Air Force is not part of the Army...

[allegrazie]

Ah, but I believe that it had been, in Bennett's lifetime.

@dkbales lol, yeah that was amusing they were assuming Army. But looking at the year of this clip, I wouldn't be surprised by their confusion, the Air Force was a very new branch of the Armed Forces that had sprung from the Army Air Corp and this clip was only two months past the Air Force's 11th birthday.
