What’s My Line? Sells Men’s Long Underwear


The program was aired Oct. 11, 1953, and the guest is Nell Brisendine of Atlanta, Georgia www.tv.com . Panelists are Dorothy Kilgallen, Steve Allen, Arlene Francis, and Bennett Cerf. Other amusing Steve Allen moments include his interrogations of the woman who repaired zippers www.youtube.com , the man who sold maternity clothes www.youtube.com , and the man who made bread boxes (the question “is it bigger than a bread box?” was a classic inanity of Allen’s on the program) www.youtube.com . Right after Allen got married, his new bride Jayne Meadows was the mystery guest, whom he failed to recognize www.youtube.com . Allen himself was a mystery guest on different occasions: Dec. 27, 1953 www.youtube.com , May 18, 1958 www.youtube.com , and in this episode www.youtube.com on Oct. 4, 1964, when host John Daly blunders and gives away his identity.

    I have been going ’round and ’round for days watching all these What’s My Line clips and I’ve come to a decision: I need to work on my penmanship! Also, I absolutely adore Steve Allen and Arlene Francis! While I’m sad that I can’t watch this on television anymore, I’m grateful to all the people who have uploaded all these clips. It’s brought me many hours of enjoyment!

    Steve sometimes gets totally off-track in the most hillarious way! There’s another episode involving zipper repairs that goes weirdly astray.
