What's My Line? Halloween w Andy Griffith 3 of 3

[sbutler0727]

Thanks for posting this. Andy is a riot here!! This episode proves just how funny and talented Andy was and still is. Andy's talents were never fully realized on The Andy Griffith Show. That is a shame, I think Andy wanted his co-stars to shine and his character became less important as the show went on. In any case Andy is a riot here!! Good show, Andy!! By the way could someone re-post this episode with just Andy's segment?

Betsy Ross looks an awful lot like Amy Winehouse...love it!

@bfletch4103 She doesn't look dead to me.

[harrietcow]

@bfletch4103 You're right, she does! I was thinking Kim Kardashian LOL

John is so funny- when Dorothy asks if Betsy uses her hands to pick up the phone, John quips, "It's very hard on the teeth." Hee!

Was rather shocked at Steve's "high" remark- rather racy for this genteel program, wasn't it? And then Dorothy and EVEN URBANE JOHN made a "high" joke!! Shocking!

Lookslike Andy really nipped it in the budd!

I'm assuming that CBS sent Andy to New York on a promotional visit. In the pre-satellite days, almost all of the big TV shows were in New York and network sitcom and drama stars had to make trips their for publicity. Today they can just hook them up on a satellite feed and do interviews with shows anywhere.

@MegaObserver1 Actually,Goober drove Andy to NY in the squad car. He was waiting for Andy outside in the CBS parking lot changing te oil while he waited.

After watching almost all of the What's My Line? clips posted on YouTube, I can see how bloated Dorothy K's face appears during this time (1965). It's not too long before they find her dead in her bed, which some believe might have been a murder because she was claiming Kennedy's assassination was a conspiracy. But, there seems something definitely wrong with her circulation.

It's not necessarily a condition that caused death. She was found dead in a room of her house she hated

"It's not necessarily a condition that caused death. She was found dead in a room of her house she hated"

What is your point? Circulation problems can certainly be a SYMPTOM of many serious illnesses. So...yeah...it could necessarily be a condition that caused death. However, your observation that she was found in a room that she hated seems interesting. Did you find this information online or do you remember it when it happened?

@caisandra03 " ... your observation that she was found in a room that she hated seems interesting. Did you find this information online or do you remember it when it happened? " I learned it by watching a 2000 video interview with Dorothy's hairdresser Marc Sinclaire. You can find his name in Dorothy's Wikipedia article. He kept quiet about what he knew all the way until 1994. By that time he had moved from New York City to Tampa, Florida. A fellow Tampa resident got him talking.

Haha now I get the line "Even John Daly gives yes or no answers" on the Dick Van Dyke show!

[Schnorbs]

I really hope Betsy Ross is still alive, after having retired from a long and successful Wall Street career. If this was 44 years ago, would she be in her mid-70s by now?

[alanwatts1]

Reply to "Schnorbs" -- Betsy Ross (her maiden name) was very much alive when she received a videocassette of "What's My Line?" in 1998. There was no video of classic TV on the Internet in 1998. To respect her privacy, I won't say her married name. She left her job as stockbroker not too long after she appeared on "What's My Line?" to get married and have children. She had six kids.

[alanwatts1]

Reply to "Schnorbs" Part 2 -- By 1998 Betsy had several grandchildren. She has remained in the New York City suburbs since the 1960s. I won't say where. She lives far away from Harrison (Westchester County), which is the place you hear her say to John Daly on "What's My Line?". An opportunity to find her arose in 1994 when a classfied death notice for Betsy's mother appeared in Newsday.

@alanwatts1 That's lovely to hear. Thanks.

[ShawDAMAN]

Wow he did great, very few get to the end of the questions. =P

[yes350yes]

It appears they have removed the funniest and best WML ever the nudist , yet they leave another episode called the nudist camp on, seems strange.

[rosaf19]

Dorothy would have guessed the stockbroker if they hadn't run out of time, I bet.

[Muffy2314]

AGREE

[duncombepat]

THANKS for posting this WML with Andy Griffith! Great job!
