A clip video I put together for the 2020 Election of notable political guests on the US game show What's My Line.
They are Senator Estes Kefauver (3-18-51), Senator Margaret Chase Smith (6-14-53), 40th US President Ronald Reagan (7-19-53), New York City Mayor Robert F. Wagner Jr (1-3-54), Senator Karl E. Mundt (6-27-54), Senator John McClellan (2-13-55), Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Jr (1-22-56), Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley (8-5-56), California Governor Edmund "Pat" Brown (11-16-58), Aurora Colorado Mayor Norma Walker (11-14-65), Senator Everett M. Dirksen (7-9-1967), Representative and 38th US President Gerald R. Ford (1969) and Governor and 39th US President Jimmy Carter (1973).
I do not own any of these clips.

My parents were very well informed. Neighbors often read their newspapers and kept up on political affairs. They often discussed issues over coffee at the kitchen table. I loved sitting and listening to them, when I was a child. People went to libraries and read books. I think they interacted more.

@@johnw8984 CORRECTION!! Senator Estes Kefauver was on TV and in the news daily trying to get legislation passed to prosecute the organized crime syndicates that were terrorizing cities and communities across the U.S. There were large amounts of murders, extortion and robberies plaguing the U.S. Every American citizen at that time was aware of the violence and massive amounts of ongoing corruption. However Senator Estes was unsuccessful because organized crime STILL exists in America today

Jimmy Carter’s appearance was at some point in 1974. I’m sure nobody on the panel or elsewhere would have ever imagined that he would declare his candidacy for the 1976 presidential nomination in December of 1974. As an aside, it seemed like Arlene Francis found him very attractive!

@balconi89 8 месяцев назад

IMDB lists it as December 13, 1973. But since it was syndicated at that time, it probably aired in most areas in early 1974.

At that funeral Bob Dole stated that they won't have Nixon to kick around any more. Just joshing. Dole gave a moving eulogy and wept. But Bob Dole was quite a wit. When asked to assess the last 3 presidents in 1980, the Senator said: 'See no evil, hear no evil, and evil.'

One further potential political guest should be mentioned in this juncture. I don't know if the story is true or apocryphal, but when "What's My Line?" was in Chicago during the Democratic Convention the week after Mayor Daley's appearance, the producers wanted to get former President Harry Truman to appear as Mystery Guest. However, the sponsor of the show that week - Remington Rand - vetoed the idea, because one of the board members of the company was General Douglas MacArthur. (Draw your own conclusions from that.)
