What’s My Line, Woody Allen Is The “Mystery Guest”

Today another great episode of “What’s My Line,” in which the great Woody Allen was the mystery guest, leaving me thinking about just posting that segment in deference to his talent and the fact I, and so many, are denied his still greatness, because of let’s call it nonsense. (At the beginning I thought Mr. Allen’s mom “not crazy about it but it is his life,” attitude was fine but the fact ‘el’ relationship has flourished, –I should be so lucky–makes the resentment so much worse).

However, the full episode appears below, the first contestant a Nancy Pegolo, so similar to Nancy Pelosi and each with Baltimore roots/associations. Nancy Pelosi, born and raised there, the daughter of Representative D’Alesandro (ode to the local D’Alesandro family, missing the truly caring Ann).

Panelists are Tony Randall, Arlene Francis, Pamela Mason and Bennett Cerf.

John Charles Daly, calling Pamela, Mrs. Mason, is the host with the great Johnny Olson as the announcer.
