Love this show. Watch all of them.  Good to see old values.

For every person who has offered a heartfelt thanks for your incredible efforts in getting these episodes uploaded.. I'm sure there must be thousands more who've enjoyed them as well.
For myself, I can say that over the past ten years this has been an immensely effective medicine for the soul at the end of some rather hectic days. And I Thank you for all your hard work.

Well, nothing left for me to add, but this:

That's 875 episodes down, and 1 more episode to go!

Hugh O'Brian was a great Mystery Guest. His little finger guns at the audience after signing in, his assortment of voices to stump the panel, and his articulate response about being in the marines... what a class act!

Mrs Bryan was a beautiful, gracious, and wellspoken guest. I'm sure that she was an amazing and professional interpreter for Jamaica at the United Nations.

Hugh O’Brian: “I didn’t know there was any other way to get her?” 😂

Well, the show ended in good spirit when Gene suggested that "if you have an interesting occupation, DON'T write to us - Start your own show!" :-) 24:10

RIP Hugh O'Brian

John with Hugh demonstrates that John could do a great interview when he had the time and inclination.

Hugh O'Brian.  Excellent actor!  Nice person.

Hugh was a wonderful and humble person!

Gary -- on the eve of the last episode, I just wanted to say thank you for all your good efforts and hard work in getting the YouTube What's My Line? channel up and running and populated with episodes.  I can't believe how many of them you've uploaded and I know, in many cases you not only had to track them down, but you've spent a lot of time splicing some of them together to come up with a better-quality or more-intact version than any single one already available.  Certainly all that work has been of great enjoyment to a great many people, including me.  Your work -- and you yourself -- are much appreciated.  Thank you kindly.

I just love watching these shows, it brings back good memories.

TV gold. Never since, and never again.

Hugh O’Brian was so handsome and great with that high-pitched and low-pitched voice.

Lovely that he went to Vietnam and was a Marine. He was so refined and polished, and obviously kind hearted. He also acknowledged the audience. This was clearly one classy guy.❤

RIP Phyllis Newman (1933 - 2019)

Both the introductions and the "good night"s on this show definitely sound valedictory.  Most certainly, Arlene Francis and Phyllis Newman are crying at the end - and Bennett Cerf comes close to tears, too.

Concerning the national tour of Abe Burrows' play CACTUS FLOWER, in which Hugh O'Brian starred:  In Chicago, the play did run at the Blackstone Theatre, 60 E. Balbo Drive (which is now the Merle Reskin Theatre, owned and operated by the Theatre School of De Paul University).  Hugh O'Brian and Elizabeth Allen co-starred, and the cast also featured Ethelynne Dunfee, Gene Lindsey, Kenneth Kimmins, Arthur Anderson, Barbara Louis and Gay Edmond.  Abe Burrows, who had been both a panelist and a Mystery Guest on WHAT'S MY LINE? over the years, directed his play; sets were designed by Oliver Smith, and costumes were designed by Theoni V. Aldredge (who would later design the costumes for quite a few Woody Allen movies).  And the show was produced by recent WML? Mystery Guest David Merrick.  

By the way:  Not only was there a slip in chronology at the beginning of the show, with John Daly's mention of Gene Rayburn's participation in the 16 July 1967 episode, but there may have been another at the end of Hugh O'Brian's segment.  If one counts the weeks, one would assume that CACTUS FLOWER would open in Chicago in early September, right after Labor Day - so, when this show aired, the play would already be in the midst of its national tour (probably in Washington, DC in late August).

Hugh O'Brian's movie debut was in an uncredited bit part in the 1948 film "Kidnapped," but his next movie role was a very good credited part, as Len Randall, a cripple, in Ida Lupino's 1949 film "Never Fear," in which he co-stars with Sally Forrest, Keefe Brasselle, Eve Miller, and Lawrence Dobkin.  Three other "off the beaten path" films in which Hugh O'Brian is one of the stars that I highly recommend are the 1952  Universal-International comedy "Sally and St. Anne," the 1953 Universal-International musical/drama "Meet Me At The Fair," and the 1958 Twentieth Century-Fox film "The Fiend Who Walked The West," which is a very creepy remake of "Kiss of Death" set in the West.  I've seen all four; two of them may still be on YouTube!

Great job by panelists, contestants, crew, staff, and panel moderator on the next-to-last show!  Truly, they're going out with heads held high.  Gene Rayburn does a nice job as a guest panelist.  And good for Phyllis Newman for politely but firmly stopping Bennett Cerf from "pawing" her, however inadvertently.

There was always something about Gene Rayburn that I liked. I would have enjoyed seeing him as a regular panelist on WML. A shame we had to wait until the next to last episode aired when the death rattle of the original WML was already being heard.

I want to thank you, Gary, for all the time and energy and heart you put into this project.  I started watching What’s My Line in 2014 when I was sick with a virus.  I began by Googling Soupy Sales.  I loved the episode so I started watching more, choosing by familiarity with the stars.  I kept a list of what I watched so I wouldn’t watch the same ones again.  After I had watched about fifty, I realized I could watch them in order by using your channel . I threw away the list and started watching from the beginning.

At first, I didn’t like Dorothy Kilgallen, thinking she was arrogant.  But she soon won me over with her intelligence, wry wit, giggle, and ferocious game playing.  I was familiar with Bennett Cerf’s name—we had some of his joke books in our house.   I didn’t know the others, but I soon learned to love them:  Arlene for her warmth and bawdy laugh, Bennett for his puns and unabashed adoration of women, Fred for his genuine humility.  Oh, how I dreaded the day that Dorothy would die!

I cringed at the “walk of shame” and was glad at each format change.  I was sad when Fred died, sad to see Steve Allen go.  After Dorothy died, the show lost a little of its edge, but I was relieved to find all of the new guest panelists engaging.  I especially liked Tony Randall, Martin Gabel, Joey Bishop and Phyllis Newman.  I, too, would like to know who the heck Sue Oakland was.

I started doing hula hoop for exercise, and I exercised three times a week while watching What’s My Line.  I read Bennett’s book “At Random” and loved it.  I had our library search far and wide for Gil Fates book. It was falling apart.  After each episode, I looked forward to reading the comments, enjoying the small scuffles, the erudite comments and the humor.  I felt like I got to know each of the regulars.  I wish I could have joined in, but I was reading them sometimes years later.   I will miss you!

I worried when Freemantle wanted to shut down the channel.  I’m so glad you prevailed!

My friends got tired of hearing me talk about What’s My Line.  I learned a lot (I never knew cranberries were grown in a bog).  It was fun seeing how much Americans loved baseball, how much they adored astronauts, and how polite and gracious they were.  It was fun witnessing the excitement when Hawaii became a state.  Each episode had something to impart, even if it was just a witty remark, an interesting occupation, or a chance to roll my eyes at John Daly’s long explanations while at the same time admiring his volubility.

For three years, What’s My Line has been a delightful part of my life, a small world in itself.  It has enriched my days and provided me with some excellent entertainment.  I’m so glad you took on this project! I know you worked hard.  Thank you!

Anybody else bothered by the terrible situation where the panelists can't hear or understand what the guests are saying? This seemed to be a chronic problem with this great show.
