What's My Line? - Dudley Moore, Peter Cook (1962, TV Show)

The classic game show What's My Line? with actors and comedians Dudley Moore, Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller, and Alan Bennett, who were at the time the entire cast of the Broadway play, "Beyond the Fringe." Guest Buddy Hackett and regulars Arlene Francis, Bennett Cerf, and Dorothy Kilgallen appear on the panel. The program first aired on November 4, 1962. This was the first segment of the game show; Robert Goulet appeared in the final segment of the show as the mystery guest.

This was Dudley Moore's only appearance on What's My Line. Peter Cook, however, would return several times in the future as a guest panelist.

I always did like British accents, Peter Cook had one of the softest ones I've ever heard next to Charlie Chaplin. Strapping handsome too...even poor Dudley (short people rock---I'm only five feet even myself).

I can't help but think that this was a sort of forerunner for Monty Python a few years later. If only I was a teenager instead of only a couple of months old.

So funny that John had to make sure he was getting Peter Cook's name right.

Moore and Cook, aka "Derek and Clive": "Fuckin' cunts!" "Oh yeah, they're a couple of real cunts, all right!"

Love 'em!!! :-D

This was the first time I ever saw Dudley Moore when he was young.

Recommended: Go to Wikipedia, "Carly Simon" - read along until you get to "William Donaldson," and click his name; at the bottom of the WD profile are the four British obits for the impressario who (not only dumped Carly Simon!) but also presented these comics in London where they originally rose to stardom.

Arlene could be so gushy at times!

It always strikes me as bizarre how similar Cook's script is to John Lennon's, as well as his sketches, as they appeared in his Daily Mail column in the late seventies.
