WHAT’S MY LINE?-Taped November 7, 1968

Host: Wally Bruner

Announcer: Johnny Olson

Celebrity Panel:

FIRST GUEST: James Proco (NYC)

We already learn he’s an usher right in this theatre and a college student. In between that, he’s salaried and working in a service.

Soupy (After a bit of rambling…) Does it have to do with show biz?

In the broadest sense, on the fringe (“He Makes Fringes”) It’s a Yes

Does it have to do with other people in showbiz?

No $5

Anita: Would I like to use your service?

Indirectly, same for Orson

It doesn’t matter if it’s a man or woman?

It doesn’t matter, Yes

When you perform, do people come to you?

Yes

Do you perform in a building? 

Yes

Do you require a uniform?

Yes     

Anita gets lost finding the next question: Do you use any equipment?

No $10

Orson (who thought Anita was talking instruments of torture): Would people come to you all alone?

No, which means your turn is over, Orson. $15

Arlene: You deal with groups of people?

More Than One

Do you instruct in any way?

James leans to No, but Wally needs a conference.  There may be advice given, but there’s no degree of instruction.  It’s still No $20

Soupy: Do you deal with groups other than people?

No $25

Anita: Do people hire you to take them around a building?

No $30

Orson: Is it a small group/number of people?

Yes

Would it be two?

Not necessarily

Would it help to know what you’re wearing?

Yes

Are you fully clad?

Yes

Wearing a suit like the suit and tie he’s wearing now?

No $35

Arlene: Anything athletic?

No, two to go and 15 seconds left

Soupy: Do you move around?

Another conference after James jumps with a No.  Allegedly, he may have ups and downs.

Soupy: Do you have to touch anything to go up and down?

Wally brings this game to an end

If there’s anything James touches, it might be his nose going up and down the chimney.  Mr. Proco is a DEPARTMENT STORE SANTA CLAUS.  Specifically, at Lord & Taylor’s in NY, and it’s his second year.  It took a while to learn how to get the voice down.  We see some great looking pictures with a wide-eyed kid.  Soupy asks if Jim every got a smack in the face. “Almost!”

Christmas is another story for the panel not figuring this out.  In Soupy’s building, the elevator operator for 18 years is fired because the regular one came back.

SECOND GUEST: Charlotte Drury (Jackson Heights, NY)

After some applause from friends, we learn Charlotte is salaried, in services AND deals with a product

Arlene: A service I might use?

Yes

Requires some dexterity, for her to give it to me?

For the service itself, but let’s focus on the product

Is it a product you can hold it your hand?

No $5

Soupy with the age old Question:  Is it bigger than a bread box?

Yes

A product used by men and women?

Yes

Does it touch the human body?

A quick no, then a conference changes it to Yes

Is it used in the home?

Definite No $10

Anita: Is it used in or near water?

Yes

Is it MUCH larger than a bread box?

Yes

Some sort of boat?

Yes

Do you operate this boat?

The boat is the product, she’s not involved in the operation.  No leeway!  $15 “It’s all yours, Orson”

Orson: Do you instruct in some way?

No $20

Arlene: Boats large enough for three or more passengers?

Yes

Are these decorated by you?

No $25

Soupy: Is it a dinghy?

Too small, “I’m pretty dinghy myself”, We’ll move on

Do you sell boats?

No $30

Anita: Arranging trips on boats?

Yes

Are you a travel agent?

Yes

Is it the liner around Manhattan?

Wally’s had enough!  Charlotte RENTS YACHTS.

Mrs. Drury works for Wakefield Fortune Incorporated arranging cruises.  A new service at the time, Charlotte has become a specialist in this field.  Yachts all have their own crews.  As you’d know from game show history, popular spots include the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Greek Isles.  If Wally and the panel wanted a boat to rent, the smallest they could get would be about 54 ft.  About $206 per person for one week including three meals a day.  A larger, 200ft. power yacht on Mediterranean would take the whole studio.  Total $12,000 a week per person.  The interior is as fancy as any local hotel around here.

MYSTERY GUEST

A strong applause marks his/her arrival

Orson: May I assume that you’re in show business?

Yes

Arlene: Are you known for your work in the theater?

No

Wally says there are some you’d know this guest from theater, but primarily for something else.

Soupy: Would this activity be in motion pictures?

Yes

Anita: Do you live in this city, most of the time?

Wally doesn’t know for sure.  In her business, she would be found in NYC sometimes.

Orson (30 sec. to go): Are you also in TV?

No, not at this moment

Arlene: Are you a singer?

Yes

Soupy: Did you earn your reputation in movies for musicals?

Yes

Anita: Are you in a musical picture right now?

No

Orson: A non-musical picture?

No, 15 seconds

Arlene: Are you appearing in a club or hotel in NYC?

No, TIME’S UP!

It’s Historic Maggie Flynn, SHIRLEY JONES

Honest Answers:

Mark Rafferty (Staten Island, NY) for Anita:  How tall are you?  You seem so little, how do you get into mini-skirts?

Answer: 5’1” in stocking feet, but she often says 5’3”.  And she buys clothes in the Junior Department.  Not many mini-skirts, though

Larry Schmidt (Potsdam, PA) for Orson: “Where did you get the name Orson Bean?”

Answer: He made it up.  His real name is Dallas Burrows which he said “Sounds Like a name a nut like Orson Bean would make Up” One last letter for “Souper Sales” but not enough time.

WHAT’S MY LINE-Taped October 1, 1968

Host: Wally Bruner

Announcer: Johnny Olsen

The “Bright and Alert” Celebrity Panel:

FIRST GUEST: John Garrity (Kenoshia, Brooklyn, NY)

John makes an edible product and is self-employed

Pia: Does it comes from some animal?

No $5

Gawn: In the line of sweeties (as we call candy?)

Yes

Would I lick it rather than chew it?

No $10

Arlene: Would other than human beings enjoy it? 

No, or at least never find out $15

Soupy: Is it sold outdoors (like football games or parks)

Yes

Is it larger than an ice cream cone?

Yes

Is it like cotton candy?

No, no like cotton candy…IT IS COTTON CANDY!

1 out of 47 isn’t bad

Soupy

Mr. Garrity goes by the name “Johnny Cotton Candy”, same as Soupy’s Mother.  It got started by a friend to pay tuition, he’s now a graduate student at St. John’s in American History.  Soupy’s not done, he asks about the sugar base that’s put into the spinner.  It’s PURE SUGAR!  We get a full demonstration on stage.  With a twist of the hand, BING! A Whip of pink magic!  The panel walks over to try it out making “Q-Tips for the Jolly Green Giant” Soupy’s words again who gives himself a Santa Beard.

Note:  Gawn calls it “Candy Floss”.  Also, “Sweetie” doesn’t mean girls.  The Brits call them Broads.

SECOND GUEST: Catherine W. Stone (Madisonville, KY)

She’s salaried and deals with a product.

Soupy: Is it a product I might use?

Yes

Would women use it more than men?

No $5

Pia: Likely found in the home?

No $10

Gawn: Am I assuming it has nothing to do with the derby?

Yes, nothing to do with horses

Might find it outside the home?

Yes

Anything to do with open air?

Tricky, considering the last question.  Try another question, Gawn.

Anything to do with the elements?

No $15

Arlene: Any moving parts?

Gets an Ooh, then a No $20

Soupy: Something run by electricity?

No $25

Pia: Something I could hold in my hand?

Yes

Is it a useful product?

Yes

Would I have to buy it to use it?

Yes

Would I WANT to buy it?

If for some strange reason, Yes

Would it make me look better using it?

Nothing could $30

Gawn: More to do with children?

No $35

Arlene: Made of wood?

No $40

Soupy: Used in building or excavation?

Yes

It’s not a shovel, is it?

No (That wasn’t Soupy, that was the producer trying a ventriloquist act)

Soupy Passes

Pia: Used in my garden?

No $45, one to go

Gawn: Would it help hold things together?

Just the opposite, Soupy said the correct answer right after the last card flips:  SHE SELLS DYNAMITE $50

Employed by the Atlas Powder Company in Knoxville, we see a GIANT stick of commercial dynamite used for coal mines.  Wally’s only used to the small type for fence post holes.  Catherine says the type on stage could blow up the theatre, though it’s not the biggest bomb the theatre’s seen.  HA! HA! HA! Our guest used to be a contractor who drilled those coal mines, and it took a lot of convincing for Atlas to hire her.  Wally concludes that this is a business with many ups and downs.

MYSTERY GUEST

Arlene: Are you a name we’d find in the entertainment pages?

Yes (Light Falsetto)

Soupy: Are you on television?

Yes

Pia: Are you an actor?

Sometimes

Gawn: Comedian?

Mm-hmmm

Arlene: Do you sing?

Nhh-nhh

Soupy: Under 40 years old?

No

Pia: Deal with ethnic humor?

Yes

Gawn: Do you play an instrument?

Yes, Soupy thinks he’s got it

Arlene: Are you also a writer?

Yes

Soupy: Is it a violin?  Are you Henny Youngman?

NO!

Pia: Jack Benny?

NO!

Gawn: Do you dance?

No

Arlene: Do you have a TV program?

No

Soupy: You don’t use the violin in your act?

That’s correct

Pia passes, Gawn: You write your own material?

Yes

Arlene: Are you humorous in one line or endeavor? (Irish, Jewish, etc.)

Not necessarily

Clue: His autobiography is a smash best-seller

Soupy jumps in with Sam Levenson

YES!

Sam did play violin on TV, which he called “A great failure”.  He never lived up to his mother’s dream.  His autobiography is titled “Everything but Money”, which was a title Wally wanted for his book.  “Everything but Money” meant Sam grew up with lots of love, books and music, but no money.  Soupy points out Sam was a teacher before going into show biz.  If he were a teacher today with a class of long hairs and wild clothes, would have sneakers on to leave in a hurry.  But seriously, every generation has great potential, and the older people have the responsibility to keep them on the straight and narrow.  We can all help each other and understand each other, regardless of ethnicity.  As for music, Sam calls himself a “Long Hair of the Old School”.  “You can become a howling success by just howling” The best he can do is find the roots of it all.

You can’t come to every idea with an open mouth. An open mind requires a little education.

One of Sam’s sayings during his teaching days

For more to know about our mystery guest: imdb

Closing: Wally speaks with Pia, his former ABC news colleague.  She was doing evening news in San Francisco, proving she’s more than just Ingrid Bergman’s daughter.  They were recently in France visiting their own townhouse which is falling apart.  Soupy Sales, meanwhile, has been going around in circles from what Wally’s heard.  Actually, Soupy has circles around his eyes, while Arlene is going around the best circles.

Joanna says it probably accounts for the short hair.  To quote the performer, “I literally get a bang out of my job”  He’s played all over North and South America with no mistakes.  And it’s all on film.  Gene’s putting on his helmet, gets into the box, the box goes Boom!!!  Gene flys out and stumbles around to the right, only inches away.  There is occasionally a blackout from the G-force from the lungs.  Nipsey calls it “Excedrin Headache #10.”  In truth, Gene is less afraid of the act than he is driving the highway from show to show.

“Better Luck Next Time” and Next Time is now.

SECOND GUEST: Lana Barrett (Mamaroneck, NY)

Miss Barrett is salaried, dealing with a product.

Nipsey: Based on the audience reaction, a profession not usually attached to a pretty young girl?

Yes

Do you come in contact with other people

Yes

Is it necessary to converse with other people?

A Little Bit

It’s not the central essence of your job?

No means Yes

Does the product touch the human body?

Yes

Between the waistline and the top of the head?

Yes

Would Nipsey’s social presence be enhanced?

YEAH!

Between the chin line and the top of the head?

Yes

Consumed or eaten or drunken in any way?

Yes

Attached with an outdoor activity, like a carnival?

Mostly No $5

Arlene: Solid rather than liquid?

Yes

Buy in a store?

Yes

Something to have at meal time?

Not to leave you astray but No $10 (30 sec.)

Soupy: Is it chewable?

Yes

You wouldn’t swallow it necessarily?

No, not bubble gum we’re talking about $15

Joanna: Under a dollar?

Yes

Grocery Store as opposed to a drug store?

No, and that’s time!

Arlene guesses that Lana’s a good humor man!  If only we’d had another minute.

Wally calls Lana the best-looking Good Humor man in West Chester County.  And what’s so shocking about her driving a truck?  Her customers include a few dogs that come for Vanilla every day.  And now, because a little good humor never hurt anyone, there’s ice cream for Wally and all the panel.

MYSTERY GUEST

A Big Applause and a strawberry shortcake stick for our guest

Arlene: Is there more than one person?

Just one, said meekly

Soupy: Must be in show business?

Could be, Wally says No

Joanna: Are you in the Sports Field?

Sometimes, Wally clarifies Yes

Nipsey: Involved in Politics in New York State?

Both agree, No

Arlene: Are you a baseball hero?

Yes

Soupy: Must be Mickey Mantle?

No

Joanna: National League Player?

Yes

Nipsey: Team once based in New York City?

Yes

Arlene: Are you “Say Hey”?

Yep, it’s WILLIE MAYS

And Willie is upset about Wally saying baseball is NOT show business.  As Nipsey knows, that’s what they call “Batman” in Harlem.  Looking back at an article Wally read, we hear about whether Willie could break his career home run record of 714.  Mays was at 569 at the day of taping.  Experts say he could’ve done it.  Ever humble, he’d be happy just reaching 600 against today’s “modern” pitchers.  Maybe these longer games could help, but Willie’s not interested.  As for any other current hitter, 34-year-old Hank Aaron might be too old.  Willie guesses that the Babe got home runs from ground rule doubles.  Wally says either way, Willie has made his mark in baseball. 

Are you saying I’m through?”

Closing: Wally gives an introduction: “We are delighted this week to have a handsome, charming, gracious, intelligent, resourceful, funny (Not you, Soupy) Nipsey Russell with us.”  He can’t deny it, it’s all true.  Russell started in show business early, dancing in a kids’ chorus. This grew into a tap-dancing trio and moved into comedy.  Highlights this year include performing on the Red Skelton Show and a new variety program “Soul”.  Many rock bands and entertainers like Redd Foxx and George Kirby are set to appear.  Meanwhile, the panel is doing fairly well for a Monday.

Yes, Pass to Arlene

“It’s not hair itself?”

Yes

Finally gets to “Is it Hair Pieces”

Designs Wigs for Men and Women

Gene thought it was a guy who matching hair coloring to your exact hair and ties it in.  James doesn’t. He just designs wigs for the Rainbow Hair Products of New York at the Empire State Building.  No, he’s not wearing one now.  There’s also a novelty line for Teeny Boppers and Vietnam soldiers buying wigs to cover up battle scars.  James says it “gives them back their non-conformity”.  Next, he presents his stretch wig with has a special patented ventilation to keep a cool head.  Maybe we should see what Gene and Alan look like with some of these wigs.  Alan gets a blonde wig, looking like Moe from the Three Stooges.  He can’t understand why they say “Blondes Have More Fun”.  Gene has a brown mod wig, feels like the poor man’s “Ed Ames”. 

With the wigs still on, the men join the women to meet our next guest.

SECOND GUEST: Judith Gray (Mount Vernon, IL, Wally’s been there and Gene grew up nearby in Christopher)

She’s salaried.

Arlene: Do you work indoors?

Yes

Is it a service she might use?

You Could, but Wally makes it a No $5

Gene: Would I use it?

Yes

Would I get the same answer if I take off the wig?

Yes

Does it have to do with enhancing one’s attractiveness?

Yes

Do you come in physical contact?

Yes

Above the waist?

Yes

Above the shoulders?

Yes “Got a feeling you’ve heard this someplace before?”

Above the Neck?

Yes

Are you a Lady’s Barber?

Men’s Barber

Judith work for the Universal Barber Shop in New York City, and Gene wants an appointment.  For about 3 years, she’s had other famous customers including the male members of the Horton’s Ballet, advertising people including actor Anthony Perkins. Seems Alan might want an appointment, too.  Never mind, the wigs just came off.

MYSTERY GUEST

Arlene: Are you a comedian?

Stumbles a little, but says he may

Gene: Are you wearing something unusual now?

My clothes

Patti: Have you been on Broadway?

No (In a light British Accent and stutters “Really”)

Alan: Work in the mountains a lot?

Not at all

Arlene: Nightclub performer?

Yes (stutters Sometimes)

Gene: Are you on Broadway now?

He’s laying off on Broadway

Patti: Appearing on a nightclub in town?

Laying off on a current one, too.

Alan: Appeared on a TV series?

No, laying off that, too

Arlene is thinking he’s having a stroke?

It’s either Don Rickles or Jack E. Leonard

It’s JACK, wearing a straw hair wig and smoking a cigarette. (It’s 1968, remember)

Jack starts with saying his friend Don Rickles has been stealing his act for so long, he’ll sue.  He also says Arlene is as pretty as her first appearance in 1903, Paul Revere sends his regards.  Wally Bruner is called the illegitimate son of John Daly.  Jack remembers Wally’s father from the German Army many years ago.  As least it’s better than sitting next to a clip-on bow tie.  Jack then talks about a new diet.

Eat 12 bowls of Jell-O, lay in bed, and just hake the damn stuff off.

Wally asks Gene if he could work at Cape Canaveral, push the button before takeoff is ready.  Earlier this week, there was a bank robber and the hottest little exotic dancer you’ve ever see works with fire.  Alan wants to learn to fire dance with the wig on. Patti is asked about a mini wedding gown worn by a bride this week.  Arlene says it’s for “Short marriages”.

In the credits, Jack E. Leonard dips Gene Rayburn, I don’t know if that embarrassed Gene to bulk up near the end.
