this episode is from October 13, 1957. Maxwell only appeared on the show as a mystery guest twice, in 1950 and in 1957. She was a guest panelist on April 15, 1956.

Ooh, I just caught this foul bird's Mike Wallace interview (see it and many other Mike Wallace interviews including Bennett Cerf!! at University of Texas site) and she is one self-important, noxious witch. She would definitely seem to be deserving of a plateful of nasty porridge right into her evil kisser.

I find most amusing Elsa's weekly visits to Tonight / Jack Paar Show to wickedly dish the gossip. She described herself as "a short, fat, homely piano player from Keokuk, Iowa, with no money or background, [who] decided to become a legend and did just that." Wikipedia describes her as an "American gossip columnist, author, song writer, and professional hostess. Her parties for royalty and high society figures of her day earned her the nickname "the hostess with the mostest".
