Joe DiMaggio What's My Line? : Season 7 Episode 3

Panelists Dorothy Kilgallen, Fred Allen, Arlene Francis and Bennett Cerf, begin tonight's show blindfolded, at the request of host and moderator, John Daly. The contestant is Major A. N. Ritchie, a Scots Guard and posted at Buckingham Palace. As the round continues, Arlene Francis asks to be disqualified. She says she knows the gentleman, and when she removes her mask, Arlene nods her head - she does, indeed, recognize the contestant. The panel is off its game tonight, for nobody identifies Major Ritchie and he wins the round by default. Miss Francis never reveals how she knows Major Ritchie. Next up is a feisty 83-year-old gentleman, Mr. Robert DeNoyelles, who sells candy for dogs. The panel is stumped yet again, and Mr. DeNoyelles wins the round. Tonight's mystery celebrity guest is baseball legend, Joe Di Maggio, Miss Francis identifies him, almost immediately. Chatting with Mr. Daly, Mr. DiMaggio reveals he's just returned from a trip to Italy, and John Daly congratulates Mr. DiMaggio on his recent induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Finally. Mr. Daly introduces the final contestant, a New York City woman, Mrs. Celia Plaut, who works as a hatcheck girl. Miss Kilgallen come very close to disclosing the woman's job when Mr. Daly flips the cards over because time is running short. Mrs. Plaut wins the round, and Miss Kilgallen mentions that the woman was in her column within the past week. The reason is never disclosed, and John Daly and the panelists bid each other good night. Mr. Daly, as is his custom, invites viewers to tune in next week.
