@gtlfb Every episode I watch I stare in awe of the innocence and class of this show. I'm only 15, but if WML? were to be brought back I think it would be a great idea considering all the rather negative TV and music we have now.

@baralpayoj and leave it to the marvelous Arlene to guess correctly!

Wow! To see and hear him is a pleasure. He was a poet, a historian, and intellectual and so so an American. We won't see his likes again. Thank you for posting.

@TheTubePortal Wow!!

@baralpayoj If you think that's amazing you need to take a look at /watch?v=I_iq5yzJ-Dk which is an appearance on the old game show "I've Got A Secret" by the last surviving eyewitness to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. It was taped in 1956 when he was 96 years old. It was truly historic because he died only eight weeks later and had never before appeared on film. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that has fortunately been saved for history. He was born in 1860.

Who ended up becoming that president anyways?

What year is this?

A great poet and one of our finest Americans.
Has anyone ever noticed how almost all the male mystery guests always affected high voices, while almost all the female mystery guests affected the low ones?
Remarkable - a time when game shows could be literate, erudite, courteous, and entertaining. One can only sigh.

Thanx to NorbertR33 for posting this landmark clip. In the world of 21st Century cable, we can see and hear poets on Arts channels and on PBS and NPR. We have to admire WML's audacity to book as mystery guests Persons of Substance in the World Outside Broadway and Hollywood.
