Notes
ADD NOTES- DAMAGED KINESCOPE: This kinescope of this episode shows some fairly severe scratches (seen as dark vertical lines) during the opening introductions, and continuing into the first contestant's segment. - BuzzDawg (2008) FLIP REPORT: John flipped all the cards for the final contestant at seven down because time ran out. The panel was getting close and likely could have gotten the line with a bit more digging. - agent_0042 (2008) Edit
- (1) MYSTERY GUEST: Tonight's show proved to be Marilyn Maxwell's only "WML?" appearance. For her mystery guest spot, Miss Maxwell's nameplate is set in the same font as the nameplates for the panelists and Mr. Daly. (2) "WML?" CREDITS CRUNCH WATCH: Once again, on GSN's April 15, 2008 airing of this episode, it was "crunch" time for the end credits, much to the everlasting dismay of the cable and satellite channel's viewing audience. (3) DOUBLE YOUR STEVERINO - AGAIN: Following the April 15, 2008 airing of tonight's show, GSN aired an edition of "I've Got a Secret" with host Steve Allen and panelists Betsy Palmer, Bill Cullen, Bess Myerson and Henry Morgan, as originally broadcast "live from New York" on October 19, 1964. The celebrity guest was Julie Newmar, who was then appearing in the ill-fated sitcom "My Living Doll." During the opening moments, Mr. Allen spoke with Mr. Cullen about the latter's panel appearance earlier that evening on "To Tell the Truth." It was Bill's debut on Goodson-Todman's other successful panel show (after "WML?" and "IGAS"). Three months after this, he and his fellow "IGAS" panelists swapped positions with the "TTTT" panel of Tom Poston, Peggy Cass, Orson Bean and Kitty Carlisle in what would be called the "Night of the Big Switch" on January 18, 1965. Mr. Cullen, of course, would go on to become one of the main panelists on the syndicated version of "TTTT" throughout its entire 1969-1978 run; ironically, as on "IGAS," his stint outlasted that of original host (of both the CBS "IGAS" and syndicated "TTTT") Garry Moore. - W-B (2008) Edit
- REVIEW: The panel had a pretty fair performance this particular evening. The panel was totally stumped by the first contestant who made telephone booths. In fact, they never even got close to identifying what he made. However, Arlene, with a huge assist from Dorothy, was able to guess that the second contestant operated a skirt blowing machine at Steel Pier in Atlantic City. Over the years, Steel Pier would provide several contestants for What's My Line?, especially contestants who performed with the famous diving horses. Dorothy correctly guessed that the mystery guest was Bob Hope associate Marilyn Maxwell. Ironically, Arlene thought that she was another famous actress with the initials M.M., Marilyn Monroe. As usual, the panel ran out of time with the final contestant before they were able to figure out that she was an ammunition inspector. She therefore earned the full $50 by default. - Sargebri (2004) BREADBOX WATCH!!! Steve's trademark breadbox question was used twice this evening. First, by Steve, when he was questioning the phone booth manufacturer and secondly, by Dorothy, when she was questioning the ammo inspector. - Sargebri (2004) Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Bennett: (taking a free guess at the line of the first contestant) I think he raises those famous Long Island ducklings and sells "quackers." Edit
- Arlene: Is there anything unpleasant about this product? Steve: Yes, we can't guess it. Edit
- Dorothy: (to the fourth contestant) Is it smaller than a phone booth? Edit
