More What's My Line?
For the “Mystery Guest” segment on What’s My Line?” the contestant is Jack Benny -- high up on my list of favorite comedians. (And who was my grandmother's favorite comedian.) A long while back, I posted an appearance by him on the show, but that was a return visit. This is his first time he appeared. It comes from 1953 near the start of the program’s run. He’s one of my favorite comedians, and once again he has great fun with it all, most notably with the voice he chose to use – along with throwing himself into it. Because the guessing lasts so long, they unfortunately don’t have time for any chatting at the end – but keep watching because the one line he does get out is a joy.
If you want to jump to the “Mystery Guest” segment, it starts around the 17:15 mark.
