  • Is it Miss or Mrs?  OH, it's miss. I've made enough mistakes!

    I wish all mayor's would admit to that! :-)

  • Thanx for posting. This is classic among the WML high points. The production staff must have dreamed of contestants like this. The contestant is sarcastic / funny; she does an interesting occupation with a gimmick. One two three hit. Landmark -- I can't remember ANY contestant who arrived late to his cue: John Daly looks mightily uncomfortable contemplating what he will do in dead space on live TV. Few non-celebrity contestants ever cracked as wise as this gal did.

  • @detahdomo I think Fred just said that to fill time while he was thinking of a real question. He was a great ad-libber.

  • @graperonto I would think that "a female life companion" is a euphemism for lesbian. No doubt she was a great contestant.

  • @karlakor I noticed that, too. 

  • @Fenhalls I was also surprised to read in the Wikipedia article that her "life companion" was a woman. But unclear as to whether she may have been a lesbian. But whatever the case, she was a fabulous lady indeed.

  • John Daily erred when Fred Allan asked, at 3:25, "You're not involved in a medical capacity, are you?" He gave Fred a no and then proceeded on to Arlene Francis, but he should have given him a yes answer. In other words, "Yes, she is not involved in a medical capacity." John Daly is usually more discerning as to how the questions are asked.

  • What became of chlorophyll?

  • Her dress and 'enough mistakes' joke reminds me of a 1910s suffragette. Considering her generation, she very easily may have been.

  • cantankerous old shoe ain't she?

  • Gotta love her...would not mind being mayor of my city.

  • Did someone say "North Carolina" at about 0.30 when John said "Charlotte"? I'm pretty sure someone did.
