[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - For many years, one of the mainstays of the CBS Sunday night schedule was the game show "What's My Line" hosted by ABC Vice-President in charge of news, special events and public affairs, religious programs, and sports John Daly (or "John Charles Daly" as he was introduced every week by panalist Bennett Cerf). This week blindfolded panalist Ernie Kovacs gets the opportunity to guess the identity of his lovely wife Edie Adams who appears as the "special guest". Edie was currently appearing as "Daisy Mae" on Broadway in her Tony Award winning performance of "Li'l Abner". Ernie was a semi-regular guest panalist on "What's My Line" ever since that chair was vacated by vaudeville, radio, and early television comedian Fred Allen. Fred died from a heart attack during a Sunday morning walk in New York City on March 17, 1956. The other WML regulars included Random House publisher and co-founder Bennett Cerf, actress, radio and television personality Arlene Francis, and newspaper columnist Dorothy Kilgallen. Conspiracy theorists suggest that Kilgallen's sudden and unexpected death in 1965 was predicated around her previously published columns concerning the validity of UFO's, the existence of extraterrestrials, and her soon-to-be-published bombshell revelations concerning the Kennedy Assassination. Mysteriously, all of Kilgallen's reporters notes and information concerning the assassination disappeared upon her death and were never again publicly accounted or seen.
