Ms. Kato lived to be 104 years old and was active in politcal and public life for most of that time. She was an advocate for women's rights and family planning, which helped to reduce abortion rates and maternal death rates. She was sometimes jailed for her activism, yet nevertheless she persisted.
Such fun. You cannot find simple, wholesome fun like this on telly anymore. I wish I had been born much earlier in the 20th century. I have no heart for what is our world today. I would go back to this time most happily.
Doris in 2018 is 95 years old and looks like Doris Day still! She has the same personality, too, and the same passions, including caring for dogs and cats and the qualify of their lives.
When Arlene ever has an objection ... always stated in a fun-loving, yet serious manner. One Amazing Woman to grace the stage / our homes in a positive way.
Does it really matter whether Doris Day dies at the age of 97? The internet encourages cultural scholars to be lazy when a legendary entertainer is 97 years young. Then the entertainer dies and the cultural scholars snap to attention within seconds of learning the news. Liza Minnelli has more than two decades to go before she becomes 97. Does anyone have something nice to say about her on social media?
To my knowledge, the only competitive Oscar that anyone won for any category in any film that Alfred Hitchcock directed was the song "Que Sera Sera" that Doris Day sang in that film.
I believe Hitchcock’s Rebecca won a competitive Oscar for the year 1940 for Best Picture, but that Oscar went to the producer, David O. selznick. That year’s Best Director Oscar went to John Ford for the equally brilliant Grapes of Wrath. Hitch never won a competitive Oscar himself, only an honorary one very late in his life.
Wow that Bob Young is such a good looking man! I have to say i love all the regulars on this show. Theyre all so charming and sweet and entertaining and smart!
Doris Day, a joy to behold. This fine lady did it all, without losing a step, and stilll managed to be so down to earth. RIP Doris your lovely smile shines eternal!
I love how Mrs Kato shakes hands AND bows at the same time. You know, one might wonder how a show like this could keep people entertained for so long but ive been binge watching it and if i can enjoy it back to back to back then i certainly could enjoy it every SUnday. Doris Day completely lost.
I've been watching a lot of these what's My line videos for a good while now. They had a couple of 2-3 days after Doris Day's death this video shows up.
+Jeff Vaughn I"m a huge Doris Day fan, but to suggest that she looks about as good now as she did almost 60 years ago is well, major denial. She's had four facelifts or partial facelifts since the early 1970's, very good ones, but nonetheless, something also to be factored in. I do agree that she SOUNDS almost exactly the same as she did decades ago...
Mark Richardson Hilarious, because she's 93 years old. Yes, in the videos shot at her birthday she looks pretty good for her age, but come on, even at her Golden Globe appearance in 1989, with all the good work she had done, and all the amazing lighting and makeup, she didn't look 45 years old. Maybe 50 or 52, and that was 26 years ago. And I think she'd say the same, as she was 66 at the time. But if you think she doesn't look a day over 45 at age 93, you're certainly entitled to your opinion. We'll just have to agree to disagree, nothing wrong with that.
This is when Arlene Francis broke her ankle, hence the panel is discovered seated for a number of weeks, so Arlene does not have to hobble out on crutches.
The last Dodgers-Giants played in New York City occurred on this date at the Polo Grounds. The Giants won 3-2, with Curt Barclay beating Don Drysdale. It would be the last victory for Barclay as a New York Giant (and he would only win one more game with the Giants on the west coast) while Drysdale's career took him to a place in Baseball's Hall of Fame. I attended my first major league game the day before with my parents and my brother (five years older). My hero, Duke Snider, hit a key home run and the Dodgers won, 5-4. I was a few months short of my fifth birthday and had just started kindergarten in Queens. Sadly, I never got to see a game at Ebbets Field. My favorite team and all my favorite players were playing home games 3000 miles away the following April.
Your comment appears to be for a different video. I'm letting you know because the comment might be very interesting to those that viewed the video for which it was intended. I had this very same issue happened to me once when I commented on a video and I couldn't figure out how on Earth it wound up on the video to which it was posted. Sometimes RU-vid is weird! I'm glad you have such great memories related to a sporting event. I'm old enough to remember when about half the men still wore suits and hats to games and families could afford to go without it being an expensive outing, I often miss the good old days even though people are constantly trying to convince me life is so much better now it doesn't often feel like it.
as far as the show here, for a challenge to the panel, looks like the bartenders saved it, lol. But the gentleman stand up when the ladies leave the room, you won;t see that anymore. And we will never see the likes of Droid Day ever again. The last of the truly talented big Hollywood stars. Total class. We will miss you Doris.
This is the period when G-T auditioned Ernie Kovacs as a possible permanent fourth panelist. He appeared for 10 out of the 13 weeks that part of the season. Gil Fates reported in his book that G-T wanted Kovacs. but Ernie turned down the contract because he had other ideas for television and did not want to be tied down to a live New York game show. In retrospect, Ernie's style -- satiric humor with big discontinuities -- was not quite right in program where the other panelists were witty and played the game straight.
I like Ernie Kovacs a lot, but I agree that he wasn't really the right fit for the show -- the episodes where he appears on the panel are invariably amusing and entertaining because of his quirky presence, but the game-playing itself is almost always thrown off-kilter because of that same quirkiness.
I love Kovacs on the panel, personally. He was great when he showed up for an episode of "You Bet Your Life" also (one of the funniest ever). But for some reason I can't get into his own TV work at *all*. He was experimental and avant garde for his time, yes, but deadly unfunny to me now, and I only watch old stuff.
When the last guests sign in "Michael and..." someone on the panel (I believe Bennett) interjects "Pub!" (17:55). A reference to the famous NYC drinking establishment on West 55th St.
Dorothy's question to the mystery guest, "Do you wear pajama tops rather well?" referred to the Movie "Pajama Game", which starred Doris Day and was released on August 29, 1957. At one point in a musical number towards the end of the show, Doris Day's character, Babe, comes on stage with only a pajama top and her new husband, Sid, the superintendent of the pajama factory, appears with only a pajama bottom. Babe says, "Married life is lot's of fun. Two can sleep as cheap as one."
What was the meaning of the exchange between John Daly and Ernie Kovacs at the end of his segment? JD: "How'd you do Wednesday night?" Kovacs: "I never lost so much money in my life."
My initial assumption was that Kovacs was in a high stakes card game. But the Red Sox beat the Yankees in 11 innings that night, so perhaps John knew Ernie was betting on the game? We'll never know! :)
Nice to see a female Japanese Senator at this point in time. The US had helped draft Japan's postwar constitution, providing greater rights for females in what had been, and continues to be, a patriarchal society....
That cracked me up when Ernie blew smoke in Dorothy's face!! It ranks up there when Ed Sullivan put on the mask Every WML show I've seen with Kovacs on has been hilarious.
Good grief. Ernie tries to explain why he's still in town and John says, "Let me!" Geez, John, let the contestants answer the questions asked of them unless they request your assistance.
