What's My Line? - Richard Kollmar [Dorothy Kilgallen's husband!]; Garry Moore (Nov 20, 1955) 

Dorothy was such a lovely person. I just love watching her in these videos. She was beautiful, smart, and extremely classy.

What a wonderful program was What's My Line, and it had everything to do with finding four panelists and a moderator who were witty, intelligent, fun. They also played beautifully off one another.

I did not know what to make of Dorothy Kilgallen at first. After watching several of these shows, I have decided she was amazing.

Gotta love Dorothy taking it to rated X territory an being completely clueless.🤣🤣🤣

Dorothy was so precious and sweet. Such a tragic and mysterious loss when she died.

Dorothy def my fave panelist. She looked so lovely here...very happy smiling eyes

Dorothy really was a smart woman, allways asking profound questions ;)

Dorothy looked really well may she rest in peace

LOL! I got so confused seeing the panelists in different positions. Funny how I got so accustomed to a certain order, this threw me for a loop.

"Is it the question of talent rather then sex?" I got a giggle outta that

21:49 Oh it's not called by your name Dorothy: Not necessarily, they decided to say it wasn't. I don't know how this show appeared in my recommendations. I've seen few episodes and this Dorothy is absolute treasure, I absolutely love her!

THAT was seriously funny…Dorothy was a gem.

I never knew anything about Dorothy Kilgallen until I saw these WML videos and started reading about her. I think it's safe to say that she was a more widely known and admired person than any of the other regular panel members. That's saying something, because the others were highly successful with substantial public images.

Richard Kollmar used the same squeeky voice when he was the MG the following years. A good voice since Dorothy failed to recognize him.

I love how honest and respectful everything is…

They were hilarious on this episode. Five more witty people playing a parlor game you couldn't find. I thought it must have been difficult for Kollmar to come up with a voice he had never used as a joke at home. Then again, maybe he didn't make so many jokes at home. I thought for sure they'd get Garry Moore's voice when he pretended to be the tough guy from Brooklyn. There were a few cases when his own voice shone through just a little. Sadly, Fred Allen died just five months after this. It's interesting that after Allen and Dorothy died, they were not replaced by new regulars. Steve Allen and Martin Gabel were guest panelists a lot, but not regulars. No woman replaced Dorothy. One might have thought of Betty White or Phyllis Newman as a possibility, but neither of them would have complemented Arlene like Dorothy did. She had both wit and gravitas and a strong desire to play the game well, not just for laughs. "I've got the time and you've got the inclination." They actually got away with quite suggestive material. I probably started watching WML in 1958, so I wouldn't have seen any of the shows with Fred Allen when they were originally broadcast.

"It's a question of talent rather than sex" - Dorothy remarked about her husband!

Dorothy looked absolutely gorgeous here. Smart as a whip too. The best combo ever. Her hubby was a lucky man indeed.

Loved Dorothy’s reaction! 😃GREAT! ♥️🙏🏼

I like the "Small Conference" sign which was sent to John Daly! I think that he should have used that regularly.

Sorry he Lost his Wife. thanks for sharing the details 🤔👍 thank you. It was a good Show 👍

Such a genuinely tremendous gift you're giving to generation after generation. So many thanks to you!

I grew up with the Garry More show. It's great to seem him here. I understand he lived til he was in his 90's.

Thank you for these. I can't get enough of them! I miss the old days of television.

He was Boston Blackie on radio for several years, and he and Dorothy hosted a greatly successful radio show for a good, long while. " Breakfast with Dick and Dorothy " if you can believe it.

I love how they used the Small Conference sign even though the panel was blindfolded.

Dear Dorothy so fantastic. Rest in peace.

"I said are you pretty funny??" That line killed me.

This was one of my favorites episodes! So many good laughs

I laughed when they held up the small conference sign and they didn’t realized the panel had 🎭 masks on 😆 😝.

Dorothy Kilgallen is great.

A favorite episode! And like having two game shows in one.

This show could not happen today, with the internet and social media. The Petty Girl was huge, back in the day, and George Petty would be instantly recognized were he to appear on TV today, as creator of an iconic pop culture image. A similar situation happened when Earle Stanley Gardiner was on WML. Sixty years ago, his name was known all over the world as the author of the Perry Mason detective novels, but apparently the producers were certain enough that no one on the panel would recognize him by sight. So, as in the case of Mr. Petty, he was introduced as "Mr. X." And Bennett was a book publisher! (I've forgotten if Bennett was on the panel that night.) Imagine no one today knowing what J. K. Rowling or Gary Trudeau looks like. I love the shows with the Allens, Fred and Steve. And Fred would be gone by February of 1956. Dick and Dorothy had, respectively, about 15 and 9 years before tragedy would overtake them. Oh, the good old days! Dorothy looks especially fetching on this evening.

Kollmar was hilarious!

I have the series 'Boston Blackie' on cd. It is interesting to finally put a face with the voice.

Garry Moore got a BIG reaction from the audience when he walked on.

Love u Dorothy 🤗

I believe I have watched every "What's My Line" that Dorothy was on. What a horrific tragedy that such a beautiful and a huge asset to the World was murdered over 50+ years ago.

Gary Moore was the host of the other game show on CBS. This show makes me think of NY as so sophisticated. A different world now.

When she died, the cocktail in her system was strikingly similar to the one that killed Marilyn Monroe. And within a week, her assistant died a mysterious death as well.

Richard Kollmar is favorite Boston Blackie actor.

Their daughter Jill was a designer in Los Angeles in recent years

Garry Moore had a long career with Goodson-Todman Productions, hosting "I've Got A Secret" from 1952-64 and "To Tell the Truth" from 1969-77.

Richard Kollmar: inventor of Chebacca's voice.

John Daly is one giant obfuscation! I love it!

RICHARD KOLLMAR (DOROTHY'S HUSBAND) BROADWAY PRODUCER, "PLAIN AND FANCY" ARTIST GEORGE PETTY

Such Class. Dorothy has such an investigative Mind. She was truly the Last real investigative Journalist.

This episode is funny

Can’t we have game shows like this anymore???? This was the greatest show. This and To Tell The Truth.

They stuck it to Dorothy again.

i love john's long pseudo-intellectual replies..

charming show. :)

Seriously, does anyone else see Garry Moore looking like Richard Kollmar's little, big or even twin brother? The similarities cannot be ignored, Dang!

That joke by Bennett Cerf was pretty racy for 1955. I like it.

When I was a young boy and read books published by Random house I never knew the people behind it. It is obvious now that they had to be like mr Surf 😚

Yoda looks different, and his grammar is much improved.

When I was a child in the 1950's in NYC my mother would listen to Breakfast with Dorothy and Dick. They discussed all things Broadway and New York. It was broadcast from their New York apartment. I loved the show even as a child. My father hated it, but it was on every morning as we got ready for school.

Great show!!!

Garry Moore what a nice man wow!

Wonderful show.....

Dick Kollmar was the star of the radio series "Boston Blackie" for five years (1945-50).

The audio is very low on this video

I'm reasonably certain that the characters of Irene Draper and Roger Daley in Woody Allen's movie Radio Days (1987) were based on Dorothy Kilgallen and Dick Kollmar. Allen said that he collected stories about the people on radio and that they were based on actual shows.

Now I don't feel bad about Steve not recognizing his new bride on another show.

Just when I think watching these reruns can't funnier, they do. The segment with Garry Moore was hilarious.

John & Dick seemed to loose track of the stated "Line", i.e. that of Broadway producer, particularly with regard to questions regarding whether or not the panellists could use his services.

Oh the petty girl 🧡 this youtube thing just gives and gives beautiful things 😊

16:43 That "small conference" fan is adorable! Have they ever used it again in future episodes?

Was a favorite show of mine as a youngster.

Richard Kollmar played "Boston Blackie" on radio.

Love the "conference panel"! How ingenious of the viewer who sent it.

Dorothy allegedly cheated on Kollmar with singer Johnny Ray and had his child. According to one citation, Kollmar thought the child was his until she eventually admitted the truth. I never could have imagined such a thing about her. Just goes to show that people are often the opposite of what they appear to be.

This was almost exactly 10 years before Dorothy's death.

Dorothy's husband at the end looked like he was just going to grab her hands, as if she was just an acquaintance, but she stood up to kiss him.

“If you had more talent, you might avail yourself of my services.” What a swipe from Dorothy’s husband. He was a failed actor (rumor was he married her thinking her status might get him into stardom), so I wonder if he was jealous of her accomplishments.

“It’s a question of talent, rather than sex...”

Omg! George Petty! Completely unexpectedly! Boy, am I glad I watched on after the advertised first guest!

Can we go back to this time???? Everything was better!

Was there was innuendos going on with all of the "services" talk during Richard Kollmar's segment or am I just a pervert?

Watching these old WML shows, I too came to be enamored by her intelligence/wit, charm and her femininity while being a dominating force in a male orientated journalistic field! If I were to be asked who I would want to talk to from the past, Dorothy Kilgallen would at least be one of my picks! my opinion 🦂

John Daly really deceived them unfairly with Dick Kollmar, I thought ...

I've never heard of 'The Petty Girl'........but am guessing this guy was a pinup artist? My favorite pinup artist was Gil Elvgren.

That Tower of London joke makes no sense. Think they got the Tower mixed up with Big Ben...?

Audio too low.

"Not in the context of the services"...got to love John Daly

Bennett said to Arlene, “they’ll be clamoring for you in Scranton “, I’m from Scranton. Lived there 50 years. I’m in a different location now and I miss Scranton, a great place at that time to grow up. Was nice to hear that.

I am shocked they were allowed to show the petty girl in 1955.

Richard Kollmar and John Daly look like bookends.

I really liked Garry Moore. Had never heard of him. Funny man. Loved how he called for the small conference!

17:58-18:01 - Fred Allen is sending the world's first text message on the world's first cell phone.

I wish I could have heard this better

Did anyone have trouble with the volume of this video?

The way we were then...

I'm pretty sure Mr. Cerf's joke was supposed to be "Big Ben" and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. "I have the time and you have the inclination." The Tower of London doesn't have a clock face. I'm surprised a man of his intellect didn't know that or maybe it was a verbal gaffe.

Not able to hear this video.

16:35 Daly could've used that "Small Conference" sign to fan himself after his conference with the Italian sculptor Lia DiLeo (WML, 5/24/1959)

Arlene: Do you ever appear on TV? Richard: No Me: Uh...

So the panel switched places.. wonder if Arlene got tired of Fred's introductions of her..

Again, good show but the audio levels are too low. Three different devices, boosted levels and still way too low.

This was pretty risque for the time.
