"The Incomparable" Hildegarde What's My Line? : Season 6 Episode 35

Actress Laraine Day joins the panel this evening, filling in for Arlene Francis. Regulars Dorothy Kilgallen, Fred Allen, Bennett Cerf and Miss Day are introduced to the first contestant, a Brooklyn man, Mr. Danny Cohen. Mr. Cohen sells hot dogs at Ebbets Field, home of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Miss Kilgallen almost immediately ascertains what he does and where he does it. The second contestant is a woman from Portland, Oregon, Zareen Austin. Miss Austin makes dice and stumps the panel. When asked, Miss Austin reveals that she does this in her home town and not in Las Vegas, as was suggested. The mystery celebrity guest is the famous cabaret singer, Hildegarde. Bennett Cerf pegs her but defers to Miss Kilgallen, who identifies her. John Daly makes another announcement, encouraging people with interesting jobs to write in as potential future contestants. Finally, Miss Catherine Hand, a chiropodist, signs in and Laraine Day determines Miss Hand's profession. For once, the show was running long on time as Mr. Daly and the panel chatted with Miss Hand and asked her questions about the types of problems she encounters from her patients. Dorothy Kilgallen is off to Paris, and John Daly and the entire panel wish her Bon Voyage.
