Ingemar Johansson & Burl Ives What's My Line? : Season 10 Episode 20
CBS 30m int(0)
Aired: February 1st, 1959 @ 10:30 PM EST on CBS
As the broadcast begins, Representative James Roosevelt (D-California and son of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt) joins the panel this evening. The panel are blindfolded for the first challenger, European heavyweight boxing champion, Ingemar Johansson. John Daly thought his Swedish accent might have helped the panel guess his identity, hence the need to blindfold them. Next up is Mr. J.R. Hanahan from Columbia, SC and a termite exterminator. Mystery guest, Burl Ives, appears tonight and John Daly congratulates him on his performance in the 1958 film, "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" and Daly calls his performance Oscar worthy (Ironically, Ives would win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor that year for his performance in "The Big Country"). The final challenger is a Brooklyn man, who is a beer tester.
