WHAT’S MY LINE?-Date Unknown

Host: Wally Bruner
Announcer: Johnny Olson

Celebrity Panel:

  • Soupy Sales
  • Anita Gillette
  • Bert Convy
  • Arlene Francis

FIRST GUEST: Francis Kelly (Bronx, NY)

He’s self-employed, concerned with a product

Arlene: Might I possibly have this product?
You Could
Used by both sexes?
Yes
Does it come in contact with the person?
No $5

Soupy: Found in the home?
Yes
Found in one room more than another?
Probably, but Wally calls it a No $10

Anita: Could I hold it in my hand?
Yes
Comes in contact with other places beside the hand?
No $15

Bert: Is this product functional?
“It Lives” Bert heard it, but Francis and Wally deny it.

Go on, you big stoop!

Does it do something?
Yes
Does it perform a task for the home?
Not necessarily $20

Arlene: Is this product is or has every been alive?
Yes
In the animal family?
Yes
Is it a pet?
“It Can Be”
Is it a Bird?
Yes
Is it a Canary or Parakeet? (There’s a difference)
Canary
Does it talk?
No $25

Soupy: “He gains 300 pounds and hollers CHEEP?”
Not a question
Do you train canaries?
Yes

“They kamikaze canaries. They throw themselves in cat’s mouths?”

Train them to sing?
YES

Our bird expert has brought a quartet of his class of 60! Yes! 60! Johnny O. brings them out, after they’ve been flying around the dressing room. Wally says a cat stood by in case they got rowdy. Francis has no problem living with ’em all By listening to what the mic was picking up, they are have bass voices. Wally needs to bring them closer. All you can do is give them time to work out their stage fright. In a contest, birds get up to a half a hour to perform!

Our birds have gotten a little better. In other knowledge, Francis uses a graduate canary to train students. But with only a little taste, another group of birds serenade us. (The Panel)

SECOND GUEST: Dianna Engel (New York City)

She’s salaried and deals with a service.

Soupy: Would I come to you?
Yes (Bert: Can I come with you?)

Are you wearing something other than what you’re wearing?
(Dianna has a typical 60s floral dress) No $5

Anita: Would I use it too?
Yes
Would I enjoy it as much as Soupy?
Aside from some side benefits, Yes
Do you touch people?
No $10

I’m so sorry to hear that?

Bert

Would you say this service would make me feel better?
No therapeutic benefit but Yes
Would I need an appointment?
No $15

Arlene: Are you employed with others in the same line?
Yes

A place where one might wants some relaxation?
Dianna says Yes but Wally doesn’t think so. Arlene’s getting miffed, so it’s a Yes
Do they serve anything to eat or drink?
A definite No $20

Soupy: Is there an office?
Yes
Do you do any paperwork?
Yes
Do people come that have a particular problem involving paperwork?
Dianna was unsure, but time’s up anyway

Arlene guesses it’s a cashier. Soupy guesses a hostess on a patrol wagon. Both wrong! She’s a STOCKBROKER. Her company is Kern Securities. How did a nice girl like you get in a business like this? She just started investing, got good and decided to spread the knowledge. And the men don’t see to mind if you earn their respect. Soupy and Bert are in for sure.

MYSTERY GUEST

The guest welcomes us in a voice sounding like Julia Child.

“It’s one of my mother’s favorite shows and one of the birds is loose backstage.

Bert: Are you primarily known for television?
Yes, giggling with excitement
Arlene: Do you have your own series?
Yes
Soupy: A nighttime show?
No
Anita: Afternoon talk show?
No
Bert: Game Show?
Yes
Arlene: Are you the moderator?
“Yes, and I’m so beautiful”

Soupy: GENE RAYBURN, everyone knew it.

Gene says he’s done plenty of voices with his wife…

IT WASN’T A JOKE, A BIRD IS LOOSE!

Anyway, Mrs. Rayburn says Gene has a certain tone in his voice. The only option was Falsetto. The entire panel has been on “The Match Game”. Along with all those game shows and #1 DJ in New York, what’s left? Two Things: Create a starring role in Broadway and movie. After that, he’ll quit! ANYTHING BUT THAT! Reminisicing about past What’s My Line appearances, there was the time Gene milked a cow with the boy from Illinois. One of the most popular things fans talk about. Soupy says the cow should’ve gotten kid gloves, Gene’s got the coldest hands in the business. Cold Hands, Warm Personality!

Honest Answers:

Marsha Robbins (New Rochelle) for Soupy:
“Do you really wear a Mickey Mouse watch?”
Answer: Yes, and we get the closeup to prove it. When it slows down, he feeds it cheese

For Bert: “What was your occupation before you became an actor?”
Answer: Played in the Philadelphia Phillies farm system

Arlene: Do you have any dogs?
Answer: Not currently, but there used to be Otto Von Bismarck (Dacushand), Sheep dog, Scottie, Russian Wolfhound.

Wait, what about the canary! He flew to the top of the lights and finally began to sing. Don’t call the Humane Society, the bird’s back in safe hands.

WHAT’S MY LINE-Taped November 19, 1968

Host: Wally Bruner:
Announcer: Johnny Olson:

Celebrity Panel:

We start with the blindfolds on.

FIRST GUEST: Gary Brower (New York City)

He deals with a product and is salaried.

Arlene: Is it a product those on the panel might use?
Yes
Used in the home?
No $5

Soupy: Are we blindfolded because we’d recognize your face?
No $10

Phyllis: Would I use it in contact or inside my body?
In Contact
Would it better or enhance me?
Not necessarily, but close enough.
If it did want it’s supposed to do, would I be better?
Nothing could improve her, but it’s a Yes?
Something you rub on your skin?
A Clear No $15

Gawn: If I didn’t have the blindfold, would I guess what it was?
Doesn’t help, doesn’t hinder, can’t take it off
Would it come in contact with the skin above my neck?
Yes
Anything to do with makeup?
No $20

Arlene: Something that is worn from the neck up?
Yes
Something worn on the face?
Yes
Worn in the area of the eyes?
Yes
(After a whisper from Gawn) Do you make blindfolds?
Yes, the very ones the panel is wearing right now.

Gary’s company, Eve’s Costume Company, has been making blindfolds for “What’s my Line?” for many years.  These blindfolds are custom, made not to mess up the panelists’ hair and eyes.  There’s a special wide plastic and velvet lining and pearls for the ladies.  The price Gary is keeping for a secret.  When not making blindfolds, he’s making hats for movies and Broadway, occasionally other costumers, too.  Most of the business is in the theatre, but it keeps him busy.  Gary started in fashion design in Europe, but hats were the easiest.

Now a question for Gawn, what do you call blindfolds in England?  “Eye-peeper stoppers” Yeah, he’s serious, and there are also “you-peeper stoppers.”

You would have an you-peeper stopper and I would have a I-peeper stopper.  But it you put it on me, it would be a I-peeper stopper and if I put it on you, it would be a you-peeper stopper on top of an I-peeper stopper.

Easy to follow

SECOND GUEST: Mr. X (New York City)

He’s self-employed and dealing with a service. There’s another hint, Mr. X deals with fire.

Soupy ponders it might be roasting marshmallows.
Is it connected with show business?
In the broadest sense, maybe, but let’s not lead Soupy down the “Primrose Path” as Wally says.
Do you give any demonstrations with fire?
Many
Do you got to schools or public functions talking about this?
No $5

Phyllis: Can I rule out eating or spiting fire?
Yes
You clearly don’t start fires or work for the fire dept.?
Indeed
Anything to do with cooking?
No $10

Gawn: People come to see you, do you instruct?
No $15

Arlene: Do people come to see you entertain?
No $20

Soupy (who can’t hold back laughter):
If you had signed your name, would we know you?
Yes
Is there a product related to this service?
No, which has already been established. Soupy’s safe, but Wally is really to flip
Is it Performed outside?
No $25

Mr. X, I come to where you are for some reason I can’t imagine to see you do something with or about fire?

Phyllis, getting down to basics

Despite her objection, No $30

Gawn: You don’t do anything with it, but you talk to me about it?
No

By this point, Wally recognizes the panel is completely lost.  GAME OVER! Arlene guesses he rubs two boy scouts together to make fire.

Mr. X is Paul Molay, a proprietor of a well-known NYC barbershop who STYLES MEN’S HAIR WITH FIRE.  He uses fire to “groove it, to fit it out, to blend hair”.  As weird as this sound, this practice dates back to Ancient Egypt.  Wally volunteers Gawn, the “Pride of Piccadilly” to demonstrate.  Johnny Olson brings out the chair.  Soupy acts like a manicurist “Have you been in town long?” Paul is using a long white pole and singeing just the end. 

“A Singe in time saves Nine” After a few seconds, Gawn gets to like it.

MYSTERY GUEST

More “Eye-Peeper Stopper Fun”. Our guest gets a good long applause.

Phyllis: Is there more than one of you?
No (just someone who needs a lozenge)

Gawn: Primarily known as a singer?
Yes (almost old lady like now)

Arlene: Singer in Television?
Yes, well-known for television among other fields

Soupy: Biggest fame from records?
It’s an element of fame, that or many records produced for the public.

Phyllis: In the New York Theater?
No

Gawn: Do you have a record on the Hit Parade now?
Yes

Arlene: Are you a man performing in nightclubs?
Yes

Soupy: Are you in New York at the current time?
No

Phyllis: Does your new record include the song “Those were the Days”?
No (30 seconds)

Gawn: Is it single, not an LP, in the Hit Parade?
Needed a bit of silent thought and clarification.
Wally decides that our mystery guest has both right now.

Arlene: Are you known as a soul singer?
YES, right in the description

Soupy: JAMES BROWN!
OH, YES!

Great voice acting to hide his identity. Brown gives an “I Tried” that scratches the microphone.  Going back to his time as a D.C. newsman, Wally shares the story of how James Brown ended a “Crisis” down there to a “happy conclusion”.  Arlene mentions his time in Boston doing the same thing. 

Honest Answers:

For Phyllis: Alice Graven of Atlanta, GA
“Aren’t you married to a songwriter and what did he write?”

Answer: Yes, her husband Adolph Green, along with Betty Comdon, Julia Stile and Leonard Bernstein.  “Bells are Ringing”, “The Party’s Over” “Just in Time” “Make Someone Happy” and “Hallelujah, Baby”

For Arlene: Barbara Middleman of Boston, MA
“Where did you meat your husband Morton Gable and was it love at first sight?”

Answer: Definitely not, they met while he was the lead on a radio program.  She used to be scared to death of him, now it’s vice versa.

WHAT’S MY LINE?-Taped January 14, 1969

Host: Wally Bruner

Announcer: Johnny Olson

Celebrity Panel:

  • Gene Rayburn (Match Game)
  • Dr. Joyce Brothers (Famous Psychiatrist)
  • Jack Cassidy
  • Arlene Francis

FIRST GUEST: Paul Francis (London, England)

Mr. Francis has had a lot of careers before today: Chef, Hairdresser, Drummer. Today, he’s dealing with a product and salaried.

Arlene: We’re not related, are me?
No, Just Checking
A product I might use?
Yes, men too!
I can hold it in my hand?
No $5

Gene: Does it come in contact with the body?
Yes, but not beyond the hand so No $10

Joyce: When used, do you move it around?
In a loose way
Large enough to be taller than a person?
Sometimes
Large enough for someone to get into?
No $15

Jack: Is the product mobile?
Wally asks again, does he mean place to place? Yes
It’s possible
Outdoors instead of indoors?
No $20

Arlene: Found in a home?
Possibly, but not likely $25

Gene: Anything therapeutic?
No $30

Joyce: Used in the World of Sports?
No $35

Jack: Sold to the consumer market?
In a sense
Would I have to come to you?
Yes
Do you demonstrate the product?
Possibly but No $35

Clue: Paul works in Paradise Island in the Bahamas.

Arlene (Ha, Ha, Ha!): Does it have to do with gambling?
Yes
Do it have to do with the tables?
No $45

Gene: By table, does that include roulette?
Yes (Arlene goes Oh!)
Gene: Do it have to do with the ocean?
The Last No

Arlene wants a guess: SLOT MACHINES! Again, Arlene is too little, too late. Paul specifically repairs them at the Paradise Island Casino in the Bahamas. He originally came to the island as a croupier, then took a six-week course in Chicago, before taking the job. Then the important question: Can you change the odds? Yes! Joyce asks how often the Big Jackpots come along. Well, there’s no rhyme or reason. It depends on the number of symbols on each machine. Jack thinks it’s set by the owners! Wally tries to equate it to how many ways a toothpick fall. In a 24-hour span, Paul figures you’ll lose about 20¢ on every dollar. Some machines can range from $500-$1,000. Back-to-Back Jackpots have happened.

SECOND GUEST: Alice Schiller (Hollywood, CA)

She’s self-employed and deals with a service.

Gene: Do both men and women use this service?
No $5

Joyce: Performed for animals?
No $10

Jack: Service confined to male?
No $15

Arlene: “What else is there?” Women use it?
Yes
Any relation to the entertainment world?
Yes
For women in the entertainment world?
Yes
Either do something for someone or how to someone?
Yes
Show them how to do it?
Yes
Do anything with the way they look?
In the sense, but it’s not the basic part
Do you operate something?
Alice said yes, but when indicating a product, Wally says No $20

Gene: Is this a physical thing?
Yes
Would they get a little “dewy”? What he means is perspiring.
Yes
Would they eventually do it in front of a movie camera?
Yes
Anything to do with losing weight?
No $25

Joyce: Do it have to do with movement?
Yes
In walking or exercise?
No $30

Jack: Looking for a specific area, is it part of the water?
No $35

Arlene, The Art of Self-Defense?
No $40

Gene (who Wally thought would get it in the first try): Do it have to do with love making?
No $45

Joyce: Do you touch the person in any way?
Takes a second before…The Last No

Jack has a thought, does it help women with a relationship? No! Gene is off with stunt driving. Alice TEACHES STRIP TEASE DANCING. Dr. Joyce is curious how Alice can teach that without movement. One black mark for Wally. Mrs. Schiller is the “Dean” of Pink Pussycat College Dancing in Hollywood, California. Requirements include being over 21, fine moral character, and be very serious about strip tease. And, of course, a voluptuous body. At graduation, instead of a degree, they get a stripper’s kit and a T-Shirt. Inscribed is the slogan “The Navel Academy of the West”. Dr. Joyce asks if they take the shirts on or off at graduation. The answer “Both”. For the lady panelists, the kit for one and the shirt for the other.

MYSTERY GUEST:

A great applause

Dr. Joyce: Would I know you from the movies?
Perhaps

Jack: Do you presently have a TV series?
No

Arlene: Are you known for TV apperances?
Yes

Gene: Have you ever appeared in Broadway?
Stumbles out a “Yes, ever” (Not his primary fame)

Joyce: Are you a singer?
Yes

Jack: Have you ever done a Disney film?
Yes

Arlene: Are you appearing presently at a hotel/club in NY?
Almost (to clarify, it will open soon)

Gene:
Do you have a current hit record?
No, I wish I did (15 seconds left)

Joyce: Is the Disney picture a recent one?
Fairly

Jack: Are you that Big, Tall, Handsome, Smashing Baritone John Davidson?
YES

Backstage, John told Wally that Jack Cassidy was his idol and kinda expected “Ol’ Jack” would catch me. That’s “Ol” no “Old”, it’s a term of endearment. John was concerned about sitting down and reading the requirements: “Admission requirements, Over 21, High Moral Character, voluptuous body.” Dr. Joyce will give him the Rhinestone from the Stripper’s Kit for his navel. Psychology of inhibitions, controlling the structural components of the anatomy. Anyway, John is saddened by the end of “Maggie Smith” on Broadway, starring Cassidy. And that night club that John’s is almost performing at the Diversion Room (open now on airdate). Live performances are better than taped for John.
