This is really excellent., especially the information about Dorothy being a What's My Line outsider. The way in which the video ended (abruptly) gives me hope that there is at least one more installment coming. :-)

Yes, there will be two more installments! I'm glad everyone is enjoying this because I had a lot of fun putting them together.

i love it! do you have more material on mister Bennett Cerf? thank you alot!

[hifithepanda]

There is about another 20 minutes or so where he talks about WML, so I will put these up. If you want more of Bennett... search his name and "Notable New Yorkers" on Google. There are literally DOZENS of hours of him being interviewed about his life and career, in realaudio format.

[jennjenn61]

its hard to imagine john daly "in a rage", he seemed so even keel on the show & a nice guy. its sad dorothy went and made enemies out of those who were her friends

[Jantv81]

I wish I could have met Bennett. What a guy.
