What's My Line? - Woody Allen; PANEL: Tony Randall, Pamela Mason (Apr 3, 1966) 

How fun to see Woody Allen. He exuded personality and quirky humor without saying a word!

Always loved Tony Randall when he was a panelist. If only he were an early regular.

To my mind, Woody Allen's raspy voice sounded very much like Peter Falk's normal voice and quite a bit like Kirk Douglas as well. Obviously, Tony was wrong but those may be the best wrong guesses in WML MG history.

Some in the TV audience must have been disappointed that Woody was not Cary Grant. I will l say that his answer to Pamela's dopey question about availability was priceless.

I really like the banter between Bennet and John.

Love it when someone in the audience whistles at Woody and he reacts instantly! :) 17:53

The girl said gorillas are 4-legged (non-primate).

Allen had this episode of "What's My Line?" in mind when he made the segment "What's My Perversion?" for "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex". Jack Barry hosted it, and Pamela Mason, Regis Philbin, Robert Q. Lewis, and Toni Holt were on the panel. Jack Barry hosted. Tony Randall starred in it, too. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZoTDK95Ua94.html

Daly seems exceptionally at ease with Woody. He must have been a great fan. I believe at this point most didn't take him seriously and he was treated like the latest fly by night comedian. Little did they know.

PAMELA MASON: Are you available *anywhere* in New York? WOODY ALLEN: Try me! 😂

I've been watching these videos for awhile now and the panel is so spot on. Not this time. I can't believe they didn't know Woody Allen! He uses the same voice every time he is on the show.

Interesting connection here in that Tony Randall later appeared in Woody’s film “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask)” in 1972.

I LOVE Arlene Francis!

Unless I am mistaken, Woody Allen, Clint Eastwood, and Martin Scorsese, are the only Hollywood filmmakers left in their late 70's/early 80's, still making films to this day.

Does anyone remember the great turn Woody Allen did on the original Candid Camera ? I also still get laughs at my favorite film of his , and he wasn't even in it - What's Up Tiger Lily ? , one of the funniest spoofs ever made .

Gorillas _four_ legged ? No way !

Note to Phyllis and or Suzy. Come back. All is forgiven. Especially after Pamela.

"An inside the PORK home run".....LOL.....oh Bennett!!!

Gary, do you have any favorite modern Woody Allen films? My parents love "Midnight in Paris", and its soundtrack.

Woody Allen clearly took Bob Hope lessons. He had his 1954 appearance in mind here.

On the last opportunity I thought Tony Randall was going to say Burgess Meredith. :)

Damn greatest at its best love him 🇺🇸🖖

Read the biography of James Mason "Odd Man Out".

The gondolier is cute, Gino sono buono -reference to Ronzoni ad of around that time ;)

The mid 60’s were an interesting time in TV history. Color film was a choice and some things were still filmed in black and white. Probably to save money.

Gorillas are not four legged animals. They two arms and two legs.

That was my favorite mystery guest segment so far. I love the way Daly just let him run with the irreverent and sometimes purposefully misleading answers to great humorous effect, even when the lack of focus appeared to fluster the goal-oriented Mr. Cerf. As far as Casino Royale being the "new Ian Fleming movie", I am not so sure I would agree to that degree. Does anyone know if Mr. Fleming ever took direct credit for this project, as from my point of view it can at best be considered a quite loose adaption.

Woody was 20 here.

Miss Pegelow could come and take care of all my needs …

Woody Allen is a lucky man. For the past 50 years as a filmmaker, he has worked with some of the most beautiful women of the 2nd half of the 20th century, and the early part of the 21st century, including Ursula Andress, Mariel Hemingway, Charlotte Rampling, Mira Sorvino, Scarlett Johansson, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, and Cate Blachett, just to name a few. Not to mention, his films have resulted in more best actress Oscar wins than any other Hollywood filmmaker.

What word does Randall expostulate at 15:59 that sounds like 'follogia' to me? I've been to Venice and a gondolier does not have to be as handsome as Gino Macropodio, whose name and accent should have made the question where he was from superfluous, and why didn't Randall recognize him at sight if he knew him?

This is the only episode I have seen where the panel didn't female, male, female, male...you dig?

Overseas travel was not so common when this show was made - today a Venetian gondolier would be guessed quite easily once Italy was named. I think John Daly is tired of the show in that he lets the panel win with 'zookeeper' although they don't identify the animals concerned. He lets Woody Allen give false answers and he lets Arlene Francis twist her question into two questions when she starts with 'off the land'. She meant in the air but rescued it by switching to 'on water'. In the early shows Mr D would have been stricter, but he's rather slack here. Perhaps the show ran for too long.

Gondolier? That's what the doctor said I caught! 😁 I'll get my coat...

What's the point in John not revealing the Gondalier's location if Bennett was allowed to ask anyway. They should not have been allowed to ask where he was from.

Mr Bennett Cerf has a similar accent as JFK.

I'm Sure there's a red-tape infested laundry list of reasons; however I'm still Mighty Flummoxed why (the heck) Casino Royale isnt included within the 007 canon.. ...Nor Sir David Niven within the hall of 007 artists .. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Gorillas have two legs, not four.

Last show I asked why mrs (Kirk) Douglas was named so and not by her 'real' name. Now I wonder why mrs Mason still was called "mrs Mason" when she divorced James Mason in 1964?

I really liked Woody Allen until he started doing some strange stuff late in life.

Can someone please enlighten me and explain how a gondolier would sometimes perform his services by going to a person's home?

Daly missed a no on are you smoking a cigar.

There he goes again :(

Bennett with another good one! GROOOANN

Pamela Mason appeared in the 1960 comedy classic, "Sex Kittens Go to College."

For the most part it sounds as if Woody is either passing a stone or taking a dump, or both …

"Casino Royale", not to be confused with the 2006 official film of the same name, was a notorious flop. It also took an unusual amount of time to make the film. If IMDB is correct, it took TEN straight months to shoot it!

Pamela's son married Belinda Carlisle.

I wished it actually was Cary Grant.

Is Pamela Mason doing an early audition for the part of Delores Umbrage in the Harry Potter franchise?

Every time I've seen this show and when the guest is about to shake the hands of the panel, the men stand and the women keep seated. Was this a thing? Is this a thing?

Allan Stewart Konigsberg...

Kurt Douglas. 😝

First contestant's line: not in THAT hairdo she don't. Wow. Large curly creature fell on top of her head.

No comment as far as Woody Allen is concerned.The only people that I've met that love him r crazy just like he is.

17:52

is pamela mason marsha's sister?

I was unhappy that he wrote Mr Grant an well... Woody Allen is not remotely Cary Grant.

Yeah, Pamela Mason was really not all that great. No wonder she sucked as panelist. Her first appearance was taped earlier this night, and aired on May 15. Oh, and I understand Aliza Kashi and Pamela Tiffin were also terrible, too.

I never understood the appeal of Woody Allen. He's so nasty and he isn't funny in the least. He's just base and crude, there's nothing humourous about him. I always have to fast forward through everything he's in, whether he's on the poor dreaded panel. UGH!
