At first I thought remembering $19 owed seemed a little bit petty, but then I looked it up and $19 in 1950 is $204 today! Makes a bit more sense (cents wink wink).

@Finians_Mancave 6 лет назад

Sad and ironic that Fred Allen mentions needing another 10 years to finish his book since he died just 6 months after this broadcast (assuming the Sept 1955 date is correct).

I'm a big fan of What's my Line, but never saw this show before. It must have been on when I was already asleep at night back when I was a kid. Lovely to see Gene and Betty and even Fred Allen and Gloria Dehaven. Strange that Fred said he needed to live 10 more years. He died well before that time.

@fromthesidelines 5 лет назад

It was seen during the summer of 1955 on Thursdays at 8:30pm(et).

@ArmenianBishop 2 года назад

Same with me. Also, my birthday is September 2, 1955, and the one shown here was aired on the previous day.

A few years ago, I watched an old back and white game show that had Audrey Meadows (Alice Kramden from The Honeymooners) as a guest. And she gave out her social security number.

@smilesfordays 4 года назад

As a child of the 90’s I was taught to know my home address in case of emergency. It’s better she knows the home address than not and it was much harder to get around back then. Less chance of someone entertaining the idea of coming over so to speak. Just a different time for sure.

They were in World War two and my grandparents were only six at the timeand they were in Vietnam, My dad was in Desert Storm, and I was in Afghanistan, Army Captain. This is fascinating, though. Going back all this time. Where is this film hidden? It's 70 years ago.

@savethetpc1547 6 лет назад

I wonder whether or not Fred Allen knew that there was already an urban folksong, "The Man Who Never Returned," written in 1949. It probably wasn't popularized until The Kingston Trio recorded it in 1959, but according to Wikipedia, it was originally adapted from an older folksong about a ship, as a mayoral campaign song for Boston candidate Walter A. O'Brien. [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.T.A._(song) ]As a native Bostonian, Fred might have heard the original. Anyway, here's a link to the Kingston Trio version, recorded about 4 years after this "Make The Connection" episode. :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dh994JcEfkI.html

His suit is all over the place. Does not fit the sleeves are puffy the front opens up too wide. It needed burning. His shirt is too tight at the neck and you can see the necktie outline. I really like him but he looks awful here. Like a football player in a cheap suit.

I’m not sure I would say a queen. Perhaps a showboat. He certainly was extroverted to say the least. I thought he did fit in well on “What’s My Line,” where he served for some time before his death. He was funny for sure.

It seems as though,these days, the more flash and technology, the dumber the show.This show,from an era that now seems like a million years ago, obviously borrows from What's My Line, which was then,as Jeopardy is now, the most intelligent and entertaining game show on the tube.

I actually enjoyed this. The producers of I've Got a Secret created Make the Connection so I guess they did kind of ripoff their own show. I would've watched both shows, but it was 1964 before we got our first TV.

Its called Make the Connection. It probably came up because of Fred Allen's connection to WML. Just my thought. I've found all sorts of programs going on from WML.
