John Daly—such an example of elegant, precise, nuanced speech. Hilarious guy!

Buddy Hackett, you can't disguise that voice.  The panel had it right away and strung it out for some entertainment.

I knew it was Buddy Hackett after the first three words as they did. Everyone was just playing along.

Finally it's my turn to say "This episode aired two days before I was born."

Around 25:00   -- one of the few times that Arlene's radio show station and time got mentioned in the history of the program.   I was always surprised that the announcer did not say of Arlene "the delightful star of stage, radio, and television"

It’s terrible what happened to Dorothy she was so talented and beautiful. She should have still been alive today albeit an old lady.

The audience was always giving it away.

Miss Hewson was, in fact, a Cornell graduate (1955), in Food & Nutrition. The official title at Appian Way appears to have been home economist, which, whatever, it's better than Pizza Tester. She eventually got married (in 1976) to someone else who went to Cornell, though I'm starting to think they met in Worcester. (Where he worked in insurance.) Anyway, her husband (Louis Mason) retired in 1983, and they moved to Ogunquit (or York) Maine, where Mrs. Mason apparently still serves on a bunch of low-level art-oriented town committees (even though she's in her 80s), and wrote a food column in the local paper. (Louis died in 2009.)

YESSSSSSS! Daly couldn't top Bennett's goodbye at the end.He got 'im!!

Buddy Hackett was a smart fellow and a great comedian. Total pleasure to see him here..

Major White lived a long life, dying in 2010 at the age of 85.  Mr. Walker, on the other hand, was killed in 1966 after a mid-air collision between his F-104 and an XB-70 (US experimental supersonic bomber) during an unauthorized flight for publicity photos.  There is absolutely such a thing as bad publicity.

Pizza tester,  hmmm,  makes it fun to see the panel try to guess this one. The audience reaction is priceless.

First time I’m seeing him young. He was handsome

I like Dorothy's soft and fluffy more natural hair here.  I see people complaining about her looking unkempt, but actually it's nice not to see her trying to be lacquered with hairspray, so I think she looks quite nice here.

Dorothy's hair for once looks great. Casual, a little messy, kind of Italian cut.

Arlene Francis's radio broadcasting career started on WOR AM Radio New York at this period of time.   It lasted clear into the late 1980s.  Eventually she became a correspondent for NBC Radio Monitor c 1964-1975.

Love Buddy Hackett

My favorite of Dorothy's hairstyles was in the 50's when all of her curls were turned into her face. She looked like Betty Boop :)

perspicacious? Man, John had such a great word knowledge.

Joseph Albert Walker (February 20, 1921 – June 8, 1966) (Capt, USAF) was an American World War II pilot, experimental physicist, NASA test pilot, and astronaut who was the first person to fly an airplane to space. He was one of twelve pilots who flew the North American X-15, an experimental spaceplane jointly operated by the Air Force and NASA.

In 1961, Walker became the first human in the mesosphere when piloting Flight 35, and in 1963, Walker made three flights above 50 miles, thereby qualifying as an astronaut according to the United States definition of the boundary of space. The latter two, X-15 Flights 90 and 91, also surpassed the Kármán line, the internationally accepted boundary of 100 kilometers (62.14 miles). Making the latter flights immediately after the completion of the Mercury and Vostok programs, Walker became the first person to fly to space twice. He was the only X-15 pilot to fly above 100 km during the program.

Walker died in a group formation accident on June 8, 1966.
